Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han people.

• According to Chinese myth, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it. One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved when a strong archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns.
