A beloved symbol of old Beijing, Tu'er Ye has long been part of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, symbolizing family reunion, peace and happiness. With its distinctive rabbit-headed, human-bodied form and colorful details, this traditional clay figure comes in a variety of playful designs.
Small in size but rich in meaning, Tu'er Ye brings a festive touch to the holiday while carrying a cherished piece of Beijing's cultural memory. Now recognized as an item of China's intangible cultural heritage, it continues to charm people today.
