Wu Gang Chopping the Cherry Bay

The second story is also set on the moon. The story goes like this…

Wu Gang the woodman wanted immortality, but he didn’t try hard enough to learn the necessary magic.

The Emperor of Heaven got angry with him because of his attitude. In order to punish him, the Emperor of Heaven planted a huge cherry bay tree, 1,665 meters (about a mile) high, on the moon and toldWu Gang that if he could cut it down, he could become immortal.

Wu Gang thought this was his chance to try hard at something he was good at to gain immortality. However, the Emperor of Heaven had made it so that the cherry bay healed every time Wu Gang chopped it!

Today, people still believe an obvious shadow on the moon is made by the huge cherry bay.
