I made a new thread for toilet deities.
I guess the moral of the story is don’t cheat on your wife!
I wonder what became of the married couple in Zigu's story.

It is a sad little story

Well, having concubines was normal back then so he probably just replaced her.

Maybe he beat his wife with Zhang Langs leg. Oh! lol
I'm mostly familiar with Chang'e since in studying and worshiping Moon they are one of the many lunar gods I came across. Plus, there's a fair whack of Chinese international students in this town so the markets carry Moon Cakes for the festival and the hold events. I haven't been to one yet but I have had Moon Cakes. They're pretty great - I tend to love non-American sweets because they aren't stupidly overly sweet, just subtle sweet.
I've always wanted to try a moon cake...
I see Chang'e is associated with the fall festival. Few things are more moving than the moon on an autumn night; makes sense.

Thanks for that JG. I had never heard of Zigu (AKA Maogu) and was intrigued. There is a good Wiki page about her.
