The origin of the zodiac rabbit

'

The rabbit ranks fourth in the Chinese zodiac . Domination with the twelve lands belongs to "Mao". At this time, from 5 to 7 in the morning (ie "Mao Shi"), the sun has not yet revealed its face, and the moon's brilliance has not fully receded. The jade rabbit is the name of the moon, and is the only one in the moon palace myth. Animals that match rabbits in this way. Therefore, the "Mao" hour at twelve o'clock in the day-from 5 am to 7 am in the morning, is also called "the rabbit time".

Speaking of the rabbit as the Chinese zodiac, there is an interesting legend of the "rabbit and cow race" among folks.

According to legend, the rabbit and the scalper are neighbors. They get along well and call each other brothers. The scalpers live by hard work, and the rabbits live by cleverness, and they have a good life.

One day, the rabbit who was good at long-distance running showed off on the face of the scalper: "I am the champion of long-distance running in the animal world, no one can run me!" The scalper humbly asked for advice on the trick of long-distance running, but the rabbit shook his head proudly and said: Relying on your innate qualities, you can’t learn. Besides, long-distance running is light and easy, and your stout body will never run fast.”

The scalper's heart was cold to the rabbit, but he was not convinced in his heart. From then on, the scalpers began to practice long-distance running. With a tenacious strength, the scalpers finally developed a pair of "iron feet". The tail is upturned, and the four hoofs are like the wind, and he is tireless for days and nights.

When the Jade Emperor arranges the zodiac, according to the rules, whoever comes first will be the zodiac. The scalper and the rabbit agreed that the rooster would get up all the time and go straight to the palace to fight for the zodiac.

The rooster cried, and the rabbit ran away alone when the scalper got up. The rabbit ran for a long time, then turned around and held it, but there was no shadow of any animal. The rabbit thought to himself, I got up the earliest today, and the fastest I ran was to fall asleep. The first name of this zodiac sign is none other than me. So it fell asleep on the grass.

Although the scalper is behind, but with its tough endurance and the iron feet that it has trained in peacetime, it rushes to the palace when the rabbit is still asleep.

A rush of footsteps awakened the rabbit. When he opened his eyes, it turned out that the tiger ran over like a gust of wind. The rabbit was anxious and hurried to catch up. Unfortunately, he was a step slower and still fell behind the tiger. As a speculative little mouse squatted between the ox’s horns , the rabbit only ranked fourth. The top three were the rat, the ox, the tiger, and the rabbit. Although they became the Chinese zodiac, they felt that their faces were dull. , Lost to his sarcasm. After returning, he moved his family to a dirt hole. Now the hare still lives in the dirt hole, but the rabbit will not learn his lesson. Believe it or not, if you have another "cow and hare race" or "tortoise and hare race" today, the rabbit will definitely win the championship.

The bunny people persistently believe that it is easy for people to be friendly, and the bunny people always strive to be civilized and polite, even to the enemies of the bunny. Bunny people hate quarrels and any form of open hostility. Rabbits do not like fierce fighting like dragons, dogs, tigers, and roosters. People of the rabbit zodiac are not interested in fighting . You are not a fighter, and it is more effective to work behind the scenes. Don't worry about the life of the bunny people. The bunny people are quick, smart, and good at avoiding harm. Rabbits do not pursue lofty ideals like other zodiac signs. The main goal of rabbits in life is to preserve themselves. (Chinese Zodiac http:///shengxiao/)

Although on the surface the bunny may be indifferent to the opinions of others, the bunny will actually be stunned by criticism. The bunny man’s skill of "turning his face without fighting" is very deceptive, and when the bunny man is dedicated, he becomes more cunning. Rabbit people are gentle and kind to their loved ones, while being perfunctory to others, even ruthless. Being gentle and self-indulgent, the bunny people enjoy themselves and put their wishes first. Rabbits are very tired of inconvenient things, because they are shy and thoughtful, and thoughtful people. Rabbits want others to do the same.
