2. French: In French, the moon is also associated with the feminine gender, and is referred to as "la lune".
3. Italian: In Italian, the moon is typically associated with the feminine gender, and is referred to as "la luna".

prompter: Is the Moon gendered in Chinese folklores? What about Japanese ones?

assistant: The Moon does not appear to have a consistent gender in Chinese and Japanese folklore and mythology.

In Chinese mythology and folklore, the Moon, or 'Yue', is sometimes depicted as female, such as Chang'e, the Moon goddess. However, the Moon is also sometimes personified as a male, such as Houyi, the celestial archer. So there is no single gender associated with the Moon in Chinese mythology.

In Japanese mythology and folklore, the Moon Kami is depicted as both male or female in different stories. For example, Tsukuyomi is the male moon god in Shinto mythology. However, the Moon is also linked to female deities such as Amaterasu or Benzaiten. So again, there is no singular gender associated with the Moon in Japanese mythology and the Moon can be depicted as both male or female.

So in general, while the Moon may be personified in some Chinese and Japanese stories and linked to deities of a particular gender, there does not appear to be a consistent or singular gender associated with the Moon across the folklores and mythologies of the two cultures. The gender seems to depend on the specific story or context.

assistant: In Chinese folklore, the Moon is not specifically gendered. However, there are legends and stories related to the Moon that feature characters with specific genders. One of the most famous legends is about Chang'e, a female character who is associated with the Moon. She is known as the Moon Goddess and is often portrayed as living on the Moon with a jade rabbit. The Mid-Autumn Festival, an important Chinese holiday, is closely linked to the legend of Chang'e, and people celebrate the festival by admiring the full moon and sharing mooncakes with family and friends.

In Japanese folklore, the Moon is also not specifically gendered. But, like in Chinese folklore, there are stories and legends involving characters associated with the Moon. One such story is about the Moon Rabbit, also known as "Tsuki no Usagi." The Moon Rabbit is believed to be pounding rice cakes (mochi) on the Moon. The gender of the Moon Rabbit is not explicitly defined in most stories. Additionally, there is a Japanese tale called "Taketori Monogatari," or "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter," which features Princess Kaguya, a female character who originally came from the Moon and later returns to it.

In both Chinese and Japanese folklores, the Moon itself is not directly assigned a gender, but the legends and characters associated with it may have specific genders.

assistant: Yes, the Moon is often gendered in Chinese and Japanese folklore. In Chinese folklore, the Moon is often personified as a beautiful and immortal goddess named Chang'e, who is sometimes depicted as a rabbit or toad. She is also sometimes associated with the yin and yang, as well as with femininity and fertility.

Similarly, in Japanese folklore, the Moon is often associated with feminine qualities and is personified as a goddess named Tsukuyomi, who is the brother of the sun goddess Amaterasu. Tsukuyomi is often depicted as a beautiful and powerful deity who is associated with the night, the changing of the seasons, and the cycles of life.

However, it is worth noting that not all Chinese or Japanese folklore portray the Moon as gendered, and there are many different variations and interpretations of these myths and legends.

It's important to note that gendered language can vary widely between different cultures and languages, and there is often no clear reason for why certain objects are assigned a particular gender.

prompter: What are some literary works in which the moon is referred to as a "she"?

assistant: Throughout history, the moon has often been personified as a female figure in various literary works. While not every text may explicitly use the word "she," these works often feature feminine imagery, characteristics, or metaphors that associate the moon with womanhood. Here are some examples:

1. "To the Moon" by Percy Bysshe Shelley: In this poem, Shelley addresses the moon as "Art thou pale for weariness," using feminine pronouns and imagery to depict the moon as a feminine figure.

2. "The Moon and the Yew Tree" by Sylvia Plath: Plath's poem describes the moon as a maternal figure, often using feminine pronouns and imagery.

3. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare: In this play, the moon is referred to as "she" several times, as well as being given feminine attributes.

4. "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot: Eliot uses feminine pronouns to refer to the moon, associating it with female characters and themes of fertility and barrenness.

5. "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson: Tennyson's poem mentions the moon as a feminine figure with lines such as "There she weaves by night and day."

These are just a few examples of literary works that refer to the moon as a "she" or otherwise imbue it with feminine qualities. Many other works across various cultures and time periods also use similar imagery to personify the moon as a female figure.
