This Mid-Autumn Moon Palace lantern design brings the most iconic legend of the Moon Festival to life — the moon goddess Chang’e and her companion, the jade rabbit (Yutu), standing beneath the celestial osmanthus tree. This design concept captures the mythical moon palace scene that has inspired Chinese poets, painters, and storytellers for over 3,000 years.

Design Concept

The composition features a luminous crescent moon as the architectural backdrop, with the moon palace rising in glowing tiers. Chang’e floats at the centre with flowing silk robes, while the jade rabbit stands beside her with the mortar and pestle of immortality. Osmanthus blossoms and stylised cloud motifs frame the scene.

Scale Options

• Compact: 4–6 m wide, suitable for shopping mall atriums
• Standard: 8–12 m wide, ideal for botanical garden and zoo installations
• Monumental: 15–20 m wide, designed for city square centrepieces

Cultural Authenticity

This design is based on the classic Tang Dynasty poem “Chang’e” by Li Shangyin and reflects authentic moon worship traditions. The jade rabbit is depicted with the correct mortar and pestle （药杵）posture, and the osmanthus flowers follow Song Dynasty botanical illustration style.

FAQ

Can the Chang’e figure be animated? Yes — arm movement, floating cloak effect with internal fans, and LED moonlight colour transitions can be added. Is this design suitable for non-Chinese audiences? Absolutely. The moon and rabbit imagery is universally recognisable, and we provide bilingual cultural interpretation signage.
