Changxi

Changxi (Chinese: 常羲) or Changyi (Chinese: 常儀)[1] is a Chinese lunar goddess worshiped in the traditional Chinese pantheon. Known from ancient times, the earliest historical information on Changxi can be traced back to the Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan-hai Ching). She is the wife of Di Jun and the mother of twelve moons. Greek equivalent is Selene.
