About this story
嫦娥奔月是与中秋节联系最紧密的中国神话。现存较早的记载见于西汉《淮南子·览冥训》：“羿请不死之药于西王母，姮娥窃以奔月”，嫦娥原名姮娥，汉代避汉文帝刘恒的名讳才改称常娥、嫦娥。古书里是嫦娥偷服仙药；这一版采用后世民间流传更广的讲法：坏徒弟逢蒙来抢药，嫦娥为了不让药落入坏人手中而吞下，飞上了月宫。
What it teaches
嫦娥在危急关头守住了不该落进坏人手里的东西；后羿望月、乡亲们摆供祝福，则讲出了思念与团圆。这也是为什么中秋夜人们抬头看月亮，会想起远方的家人。

Tips for telling it
- 中秋前后讲最合适，讲完可以和孩子一起看月亮，找一找“玉兔”和“桂花树”。
- 逢蒙的戏可以演得贼一点、滑稽一点，不必真的吓唬小孩子。
- 对大一点的孩子，可以告诉他们古书里还有“嫦娥偷药”的另一种说法，让他们比较两个版本。
Questions people ask
- 嫦娥奔月出自哪本书？
- 现存较早的完整记载是西汉《淮南子·览冥训》：“羿请不死之药于西王母，姮娥窃以奔月。”更早的《归藏》佚文中也有常娥服不死药奔月的说法。
- 嫦娥为什么要飞到月亮上？
- 古书里说嫦娥偷吃了后羿从西王母那里求来的不死药，身体变轻飞上了月亮。后来的民间故事多改成逢蒙来抢药，嫦娥为了不让坏人得逞才吞下仙药。
- 嫦娥奔月和中秋节有什么关系？
- 中秋赏月、拜月的习俗和嫦娥奔月的传说在民间长期交织，所以人们一过中秋就会讲起嫦娥和玉兔。不过中秋节本身源于古代秋季祭月、庆祝丰收的传统，并不是因为这个故事才有的。
