About Chinese Mooncake Cadeausbox-Verpackung

Chinese Mooncake ass eng Cadeausbox, déi fir Moundkuchen entworf gouf, déi während dem Mëtthierschtfest geschenkt ginn. Déi baussenzeg Box follegt der Form vun enger traditioneller chinesescher Iessbox. Eng Illustratioun am Stéckerei-Stil weist eng Luuchtvue vun engem Bankett aus der Tang-Dynastie, mat Holzarchitektur an Dänzerinnen. All Deel vun der Illustratioun gëtt duerch Stanzen getrennt an duerno erëm zesummegefüügt, sou datt d'Verpackung Déift a Schichten kritt. Déi bannenzeg Box presentéiert Danzbeweegungen aus Rainbow Skirt and Feather Coat, kombinéiert mat klassesche chinesesche Faarwen wéi Kinnekspurpur a Bambusgréng.

Production Technology
The gift box is based on an aerial layout and embroidery drawing that represents a Tang Dynasty banquet. Each part of the illustration is separated by die-cutting, and the final packaging is more layered.
Design Challenge
The difficulty of this design is that there are few records about the neon clothes and feather dance, and it is more difficult to restore the architecture, costumes, makeup, musical instruments, and dance poses. Even so, we checked many documents, which greatly restored the scene at that time.
Research
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival celebrated in China. It gained widespread popularity in the Tang Dynasty and became a nationwide holiday. According to legend, the Tang Emperor Xuan Zong dreamt he had traveled to the Palace of the Moon, where he saw celestial women, clothed in feathers and rosy clouds dancing in the sky. After the Emperor awoke, his favourite concubine Yang Guifei, renowned as one of the four most beautiful women in Chinese history, choreographed and performed the famous dance, 'Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat,'according to the Emperor's recollection.
Inspiration
In order to reproduce the magnificent scenery of the Tang Dynasty palace, this design was created after consultig many historical documents, viewing images of murals at Dunhuang, and visiting ancient buildings from the Tang Dynasty to use these aspects as the basis for creating a design to restore the Tang Dynasty's historical prosperity.
Project Duration
The project started in Tianjin in July 2020, completed in Tianjin in August 2020, and exhibited in Tianjin in September 2020.
Operation Flow
The outer box as a whole is a traditional Chinese food box style, using a three-dimensional paper sculpture to separate the characters and scenes through die cutting, and then collage them into a complete illustration, which increases the sense of hierarchy and space of the packaging. The inner box combines the opening with the packaging illustration. The entire tongue part adopts the style of traditional Chinese typography, forming a natural division. When the consumer opens the box, a complete illustration pops up in front of them.
