#玉兔 On the 8th month, the moon’s clear glow rises, and the Jade Rabbit carries the melody.
For a thousand years under the bright moon, the Jade Rabbit is a classic cultural symbol of China. Originating from an ancient myth of the Moon Palace where a rabbit pounds medicinal herbs, the Jade Rabbit symbolizes health and good fortune, as well as clarity and innocence.
From ancient carved stone images and painted scrolls to Mid-Autumn Festival rabbit lanterns and folk “rabbit-ear” figurines, the Jade Rabbit has been woven into traditional customs. It embodies gentle, lively nature, carrying people’s beautiful hopes for reunion and peace—an Oriental romantic and auspicious image all its own.
