Moon Goddess Long Silk Scarf

As seen in various Shen Yun dance pieces, the ancient Chinese believed that the bright moon in the night was a realm of celestial wonders that one could potentially visit. This scarf design recalls Chinese lore of the goddess Chang’e, who lives in a celestial palace on the Moon. The legend goes that Chang’e and her husband were happy couple on Earth, but sadly had to part ways when she mistakenly consumed an elixir of immortality and floated away to the Moon alone.
