THE MOON GATE

In the time of the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, when families gathered to honor ancestors and give thanks for the harvest, a noble guardian was said to appear beneath the round moon gate. With a mane like a lion and the heart of a faithful protector, this guardian watched over the prayers carried up to the moon. Some say its spirit still lingers in the glow of the full harvest moon — a symbol of loyalty, reunion, and timeless love.
