Abstract：At the end of Taketori Monogatari, the heroine Kaguyahime wears Hagoromo, takes elixir of life, and then flies to the moon. It is likely that this plot setting and the words such as “elixir”make people think of the Chinese moon legend. But on the other hand, Kaguyahime's Moon Fairy is very different from Chang'e legend. By means of text interpretation, this paper explores the acceptance and projection of Chang'e Flying to the Moon in Taketori Monogatari, and analyses the structure and theme from the perspective of plot setting. And the significance of Moon Fairy quotation in Taketori Monogatari will thereby be discussed.
