相传在很久很久之前，天上有十个太阳，它们是东方天帝的儿子，十个太阳每天一换，将光亮带向人间。但是时间久了之后，十个太阳觉得非常无聊，就一起出现在了天空上面，这下子人们可就受不了了。
幸好有一个年轻的英雄后裔出现了，他是一个神射手，力大无穷、箭法超群，他不忍人们生活于苦难之中，就想要射下多余的九个太阳，帮助人们脱离困境。于是他一路翻山越岭，经历了重重磨难，最后来到了东海边，登上了一座大山。
后裔站在山顶，搭箭拉弓，瞄准天上的太阳，只听“嗖——嗖——”几声，他接连射下了九个太阳，只剩最后一个太阳还挂在天上，它害怕极了，老老实实的听后裔的吩咐，继续为大地和人们贡献光亮。此后后裔也被无数人视为射日英雄，受到了崇敬与爱戴。
扩展资料：
后羿射日，是中国古代神话传说。远古的时候，大地出现了严重的旱灾。炎热烤焦了森林，烘干了大地，晒干了禾苗草木。原来，帝俊与羲和生了10个孩子都是太阳，他们住在东方海外，海水中有棵大树叫扶桑。
10个太阳睡在枝条的底下，轮流跑出来在天空执勤，照耀大地。但有时，他们一齐出来给人类带来了灾难。为了拯救人类，后羿张弓搭箭，向那9个太阳射去。只见天空出现爆裂的火球，坠下一只只三足乌。最后，天上只留下一个太阳。
科学解释：
NASA华裔科学家赵丰教授认为：后羿射日事件其实是一次彗星撞击地球事件，类似于1994年levy-9彗星撞击木星事件的缩小版。因为彗星质地松散，当彗星被行星捕捉，在潮汐力作用下会发生解体成为一串天体，所谓九日，正是彗星解体为9块。
9块天体进入地球大气层后，因摩擦灼热成为似“太阳”的发光发热体，这便是山海经中“九日居下枝，一日居上枝”。接着这些看似“太阳”的物体便会很快一一撞击地球，因为彗星质地松散，撞击行星后并不会留下明显的陨石坑，所以陨落之处一片焦黑泥烂，这便是山海经中“羿射九日，落为沃焦”的原因。
彗星撞击行星事件在漫长的太阳系历史里是经常发生的，后羿射日很可能是远古先民亲眼目睹了一次彗星撞击地球的盛况，惊恐万分而又无能为力的他们只好向其射箭，从而留下了这相传千年的传奇神话故事-后羿射日。

人间的灾难惊动了天上的神，天帝常俊命令善于封射箭的后羿下到人间，协助尧除人民的苦难。后羿带着天帝赐给他的一张红色的弓，一口袋白色的箭，还带着他的美丽的妻子嫦娥一起来到人间。
后羿立即开始了射日的战斗。他从肩上除下那红色的弓，取出白色的箭，一支一支地向骄横的太阳射去，顷刻间十个太阳被射去了九个，只因为尧认为留下一个太阳对人民有用处，才拦阻了后羿的继续射击。这就是有名的后羿射日的故事。
但是后羿的丰功伟绩，却受到了其他天神的妒忌，他们到天帝那里去进谗言，使天帝终于疏远了后羿，最后把他永远贬斥到人间。受了委曲的后羿和妻子嫦娥只好隐居在人间，靠后羿打猎为生。
嫦娥又是怎样奔月的呢?在古书上有种种不同的说法。根据《淮南子》的记载是，后羿觉得对不起受他连累而谪居下凡的妻子，便到西王母那里去求来了长生不死之药，好让他们夫妻二人在世间永远和谐地生活下去。嫦娥却过不惯清苦的生活，乘后羿不在家的时候，偷吃了全部的长生不死药，奔逃到月亮里去了。另一种说法是屈原(约前340椩记?78)《天问》的记载，说后羿后来对嫦娥有不忠行为，和河伯的妻子发生暖昧关系，因而引起嫦娥极大的不满，便离开后羿跑到天上去了。嫦娥奔月以后，很快就后悔了，她想起了丈夫平日对她的好处和人世间的温情，对比月亮里的孤独，倍觉凄凉。
关于后羿之死，战国时思想家孟子(约公元前372椩记?89年)所著《孟子》和西汉初年刘安(前179椙?22)编成的《淮南子》都说他是被恩将仇报的徒弟逢蒙暗害的。暗害的手段记载各不一样，有的说是用桃木大棒打死的，有的说是用暗箭射死的。总之这位盖世的英雄死在阴谋家的手里。
有的传说里还说，后羿死后英魂不散，变成了打鬼的钟馗神。这一说法是我国著名史学家顾颉刚(1893-1980年)根据《淮南子》等古书的记载考证出来的。这种说法，实际上反映了我国古代人民对这位不幸死去的英雄的无限怀念。本回答被网友采纳
