What is the "rabbit" culture of Miao nationality (rabbit culture)?

Miao people have many traditional festivals. According to the Survey List of Ethnic Festivals in Guizhou Province, there are 65 1 traditional festivals in Miao nationality each year, among which "Eating New Year Festival" is celebrated as "Rabbit Festival". Miao compatriots living on the Qingshui River in the mountainous area of Miao Ling celebrate the "Eating New Festival" on the "Rabbit Day" in June of the lunar calendar. At this time, the ears of rice are developing. Pick rice buds or ears from the ground and steam them at home to taste the new taste. Before tasting, carefully count the number of particles. If it is found that the ear of grain is short and the number of grains is small, it means that the yield is reduced. Therefore, remedial measures should be taken in time to strengthen field management and replant miscellaneous grains on the hillside to avoid famine in the coming year. Miao Village's "Eating New Year's Festivals" has the function of "sampling survey" in a sense, and predicts the abundance and regret.

There are many images of rabbits in batik, embroidery, weaving and silver ornaments made by Miao villagers, especially in children's hats. As for the mud whistle in children's toys, rabbits are naturally essential. In Miao village, the baby was born in Shi Mao, and the old man died in Shi Mao. These are all regarded as blessings: they came clean and went clear, and they are all clean and clean people. Shi Mao is from five to seven in the morning. At dawn, the sun rises and shines brightly. Why are rabbit's eyes red? Miao villagers think the sun is red. Based on this understanding, on some clothing parts, women embroider two red dots or two red circles to represent rabbits, that is, "Moon God", which is regarded as a symbol of light.
