Expansion: The Rabbit is a traditional handicraft of Beijing, and is a children's toy for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival

At the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people of Beijing would make offerings to the "Rabbit Master". This custom originated in the Ming Dynasty. Later, the "Rabbit Master" was transformed into a Mid-Autumn Festival toy for children. Following the example of opera characters, some people carved the "Rabbit Master" into warriors with golden helmets and armor, some riding lions and elephants, and some with paper flags or umbrellas on their backs, sitting or standing, making them a delightful sight to behold. Nowadays, the Rabbit Master has become one of the most representative intangible cultural heritages in Beijing.
