In which texts is the Chinese myth about the moon first recorded?

The Chinese record of the moon first appeared in the myth of Emperor Jun, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West" said: "Emperor Jun's wife Chang Xi, born in the month of two out of ten, this beginning of bathing." "Emperor Jun is a figure in the mythology of the Yin Shang nation, only the "Great Wilderness West Classic" of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has sporadic records, and in addition, there is no record in any ancient books.

Judging from the record of "Emperor Jun's Birth and Later Ji", the myth of Emperor Jun is quite late, and it is almost the period of the invention of writing, which cannot be compared with the myths of Pangu and Nuwa.

Besides, Chang Xi, the wife of Emperor Jun, is actually Chang'e, and it is obvious that it synthesizes the myth of Chang'e. So, what era is Chang'e? This clue is more obvious, after the "separation of heaven and earth", ten suns appeared in the sky, and then there was the theory of Houyi shooting the sun and Chang'e running to the moon.

It can be seen that the moon myth appeared very late in the entire series of Chinese myths, and it was only after the "separation of heaven and earth" and "the great flood" that there were records about the moon.

There is also a proof that this is the time difference between myths and fairy tales. China first had myths, and then there were fairy tales. The appearance of the moon has a lot to do with fairy tales.

For example, about Chang'e, it is related to the immortal family, Chang'e took the medicine of immortality and flew to the moon, and when she arrived on the moon, she has been directing a white rabbit to make the medicine of immortality. Immortality is the biggest characteristic of the immortal family. It can be said that Chang'e's running to the moon shines brightly because of fairy tales.

Before the "separation of heaven and earth" and "the great flood", there was no record of the moon in China, and this can be conclusive. The great poet Su Dongpo (1037-1101) of the Song Dynasty wrote such a famous sentence as early as more than 800 years ago: "When is the bright moon?

Ask the wine to the sky", that's a good question! Because we are also asking today: when is the bright moon?

Huainanzi (Western Han Dynasty works) has. I've seen a TV run to the moon before, and the content in it is taken from it, and I forgot the specific content. But it's in this book. I think it's the earliest!

The myths and legends related to the moon were first contained in ancient books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Chu Ci" and "Huainanzi", which have a lot of reference value for China's future research on the moon.

The height of the laurel tree is about 500 zhang, and Wu Gang will automatically heal after cutting it for a period of time.
