Story
_____
According to legend, the ancient time of Bunun, there were two suns in the sky, and they shined on the earth all day. People were living miserably, so the Bunun people decided to kill one of the suns. However, Bunun people could not kill both suns because they needed the sun to provide energy to the plants and crops. Due to this conflict, the sun and the Bunun people had a deal that one of the suns would turn into the moon and they would repeatedly rotate while the Bunun people need to perform rituals to them. Eventually, it becomes the legendary of the agreement between with the moon and the Bunun people.
