legend

Yueliang cave is located in sanhuai village, Yangdi Town, 50 kilometers west of Shanyang County.

A long time ago, someone discovered the moon cave, and someone once lived in the cave. However, few people have made in-depth investigation. The main reasons are as follows: first, the science and technology at that time was relatively backward, and there were no facilities and equipment to enter the cave; second, the situation inside the cave was complex, and people had fear thoughts; third, it was said that it was a divine cave since ancient times, and people did not dare to violate the will of God; fourth, they thought conservative, and did not have the consciousness of development and utilization.

There are many local legends about moon cave. The most interesting one is the legend that when Yao was emperor, there were ten suns in the sky, and the heat of the earth was unbearable, which brought endless disasters to the world. When the emperor of heaven knew about this, he felt that he could no longer tolerate his children's mischief, so he sent a god named Yi, who was good at archery, to take his wife Chang'e to the world. When he saw that people could not live because of the heat of digging holes, he was very angry, so he took his bow and arrow and shot down nine suns in a row. This is the legendary "Hou Yi shooting at the sun".

The emperor of heaven originally wanted Yi to teach the ten children. Unexpectedly, Yi shot all the nine children to death. So the emperor of heaven was so angry that he got rid of Yi's divine power and agreed with him
