The cultural symbolism of the zodiac rabbit

'

"Rabbit" is a beautiful word in China. It is not only one of the zodiac signs of human beings, but also closely related to human life and people's beautiful hope.

"Rabbit" is a pictograph of animal rabbit. Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" in the Han Dynasty explained: "The rabbit, the name of the animal, is like the tail shape after the distance." His oracle bone inscriptions and seal script depict the image of "rabbit" with long ears and short tail. There are not many Chinese characters derived from the "tu" character, but they all have their own characteristics. For example, "Yi" is an understanding word. Rabbits running fast are called "Yi". Books such as "Shuowen Jiezi" and other books all believe that the word "yi" means "good escape" for rabbits. This shows that the rabbit is a well-deserved champion of long-distance running. So there are terms such as "Benyi", "Escape", "Escape", "Youyi", "Hidden", "Ease", "Anecdote", "Super Yi" and so on. Three rabbits are stacked together to form a Chinese character, which means that they are running fast. The word "injustice" is a sign of "screaming injustice" for a kind rabbit. "Shuowen Jiezi" explains: "Injustice, wrong." It means that the rabbit cannot escape under the net fence, but only submit and cannot stretch. Extended to be wronged. So there are a series of words such as "injustice", "injustice not in vain", "injustice", "injustice" and so on. The rabbit is the most unjust. It can be seen that the cute rabbit is most worthy of people's sympathy.

"Rabbit" and "Dodder" are connected. "Dodder" is the herb "Dodder", also called "Dodder", also known as "Nvluo", or "tusi".

"Rabbit" adds "earth" next to "堍", which refers to the part of the bridge near the flat ground at both ends of the bridge, that is, the place on the bridge.

"Rabbit" corresponds to the "Mao" in the twelve earthly branches. In Han Dynasty Wang Chong's "Lun Heng" said: "Mao, rabbit." The two constitute our zodiac "Mao Rabbit."

The original word "卯" depicts the image of budding unearthed vegetation. "Shuowen Jiezi" says: "Mao, Maoye. In February, everything comes out of the earth." At twelve o'clock, "Mao" refers to 5-7 o'clock in the morning. Therefore, "Mao" means spring, represents dawn, and is full of infinite vitality.

"Liu" embodies the meaning of "Mao belongs to wood", so there is "spring breeze willow".

"Mao" is a kind of aquatic plants. It also describes the appearance of being overgrown and lush sometimes.

"Pleiades", the name of the stars, one of the twenty-eight places.

"Mao" refers to lakes and ponds with calm water.
