Why use the word rabbit as a mascot?

The auspicious words homophonic with rabbits are as follows:

There are career-related exhibitions, such as Rabbit, Rabbit Leap (Soaring), Money, Rabbit, like a bright future (walking), Money and Rabbit are boundless (boundless prospects). Luck is related to "Rabbit" running (sudden running) and "Rabbit" raising eyebrows (pride).

There are also "rabbits" that express mentality (happiness) and rare "blessings" and "rabbits" (rarely confused). "Rabbit" comes from the idiom "yes man", and "double" is replaced by the English word "two", which is just the homonym of "rabbit".

Year of the Rabbit:

The Year of the Rabbit is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "rabbit" in the zodiac corresponds to the cardinal number of the twelve earthly branches. The year of the rabbit is the base year, and every twelve years is a cycle. For example, Gregorian calendar 20 1 1 basically corresponds to the Year of the Rabbit, which is the year of Xinmao. The Year of the Rabbit is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the zodiac is attached to the calendar year of the main branch, and the calendar year of the main branch is the calendar year method of the main branch.

The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar). There is no doubt that the lunar calendar only uses branches to mark the year, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve. Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in each year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people, including a few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused.
