Lantern Rabbit

In Chinese tradition,
the Rabbit is closely associated with the moon.

Ancient stories speak of a jade rabbit living in the Moon Palace,
quietly preparing elixirs under the soft glow of night.
Unlike animals of strength or speed,
the Rabbit is gentle, attentive,
and closely connected to rhythm and calm observation.

It represents peace, sensitivity, and quiet resilience.
In folk culture, the Rabbit is often seen as a symbol of harmony and renewal,
appearing in moments when the world feels still and balanced.

In traditional New Year greetings,
rabbit-related expressions often carry wishes for
gentleness, safety, and a peaceful year ahead.
