They lived poorly, and when Luna grew up, she became shy and moved away from her brother. The sun also realized that her sister had grown up, and she could not show up in public without clothes. So he took off his dress and left it in the room, and went out and called his sister to wear it. Luna put on her dress, but saw her brother sitting in the dark with her back to her, took pity, and threw him the silver needles he had bought for her. The sun said he bought silver needles for her, and when he had money, he would buy fabric and threads to make her dress. Luna asked how her brother would walk without clothes, but he answered by asking why she had given him needles. The sister replied that he would be able to stab the eyes of those who looked at him with these needles, and then people would not dare to raise their heads and look at him. The brother agreed and went out into the world, and the sister became shy and ran into the house. After a while, he called his sister to cook, and in order not to stab her, he hid again in the dark. This is how it happens: when the Sun comes out, the Moon hides in the house, and when the Moon comes out, the Sun goes to the mountains. Even now, when the Sun comes out during the day, if people lift their heads to look at it, it stabs their eyes with shiny needles so that they can only walk with their heads down. Because his needles constantly prick people, they start to get a fever. When it approaches, people get so hot that they sweat, and if it goes too far, they start to tremble from the cold.

Kaohsiang) [The sun and moon are siblings, children of the Jade Emperor. The sun is a young man and the moon is a girl. At first they both came out together-the sun ruled east and west, and the moon ruled south and north. It was light during the day, and it was completely dark at night, and you could not even see the light of the stars. Over time, the sun became interested in the moon, became more and more daring, and at some point began to stick to the moon. The moon ran to the Jade Emperor and complained about the sun. The jade emperor became angry and sent an army of heaven to grab the sun and cut off his head on the Immortal Execution Tower. When the hangman had already carried his axe, Matushka Vanmu came running and shouted: "Don't execute him!" She ran into the palace, fell at the feet of the jade emperor and said, "How can you execute our only son?" The jade emperor thought she was right and changed his mind about executing him, but the decree had already been issued, and it could not be canceled just like that. At that moment, the spirit of the earth came to the Jade Emperor, said that people were uncomfortable that there was no light at night, and suggested separating the sun and moon so that the sun would shine during the day and the moon at night. When the jade emperor heard this, he was happy: this way he could save his son's life and share them with his sister. He commanded the moon to go out at night and go during the day, and the sun to go out in the morning and go out in the evening; the sun began to control the power of yang, and the moon controlled the power of yin, and they were not allowed to meet.
