Legend of Jade Rabbit

A long time ago, a pair of rabbits who practiced for thousands of years became immortals. One day, the Jade Emperor summoned the male rabbit, who reluctantly bid farewell to his wife and children and went through the clouds to the Heavenly Palace. Just when it came to the worse gate, it saw Taibai Venus leading the heavenly soldiers and generals to go with Chang 'e.

The curious rabbit fairy asked the nearby god who guarded Tianmen. After hearing what happened to her, Rabbit Fairy was very sympathetic. But my strength is meager. What can I do to help? Think of how lonely and sad Chang 'e is alone in the moon palace. If only there were company, suddenly she remembered her four daughters, so she flew home at once.

Rabbit fairy told the mother rabbit about Chang 'e and said that she would send a child to accompany Chang 'e. Although the mother rabbit expressed deep sympathy, she couldn't bear to be separated from her baby daughter, and it was difficult for her daughters to give up their parents, and they all burst into tears. The male rabbit said seriously, "If I am locked up alone, will you accompany me?" Chang 'e was tied up to save the people. Can we not sympathize with her? "

The children understood their father's heart and expressed their willingness to go. The male rabbit and the female rabbit laughed with tears in their eyes. Finally decided to let the girl go. Xiaoyu Rabbit bid farewell to her parents and sisters and went to the Moon Palace to stay with Chang 'e, so there was a lovely bunny in our moon myth.

WU GANG boarded the moon palace.

This osmanthus tree grows with cutting, and it will never stop cutting.

As for the rabbit's visit to the Moon Palace, it was first seen in Qu Yuan's Tian Wen, "What is the sense of prestige, while Gu and Tu are in the abdomen?" . It means that Gu and Tu are in the belly of the moon. What good is it for the moon? How did the rabbit get to the moon palace? Gu is a toad and Tu is a white rabbit.

Fu Xuan in the Jin Dynasty also said: "What's in the middle of the month, the white rabbit is working on medicine." According to Mr Wen Yiduo's textual research, this "white rabbit mashing medicine" was changed from "toad mashing medicine".
