From the ancient folk fables and unearthed articles, the sun is always connected with a golden crow or a legendary Fusang tree; while the moon is linked to the moon toad, the iade hare and the laurel. Tile sun and the moon always move around the sky, rising from the east and setting to the west. It reflects human's basic knowledge of life and its perpetuity. The moon toad and the medicine mortar are female symbols in the family of the universe. The rabbit is god of proliferation; and the Fusang, the laurel and the Sal are the tree of
life. Together, those symbols and images made up a fairy tale that has been told and passed down for thousands of years. Obviously, moon worship is the main theme of folk art works on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
