History of the Rabbit

And it first appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, used to sacrifice the moon, Ming Ji Kun (about 1636 years ago) of the "Flower King Pavilion Remainders": "Beijing Mid-Autumn Festival more than to the mud Tuan rabbit shape, clothes and crowns sitting in the shape of a man, the children sacrificed to pay homage to." Ming "Beijing years Hua" records: "the city to yellow clay Bo Cheng, said rabbit master, wearing a flower robe, two or three feet high."

The Rabbit Master is an old Beijing traditional toy, the writer Lao She in the "Four Shih Tong Tong" in this description: "face no rouge, but only in the small three-petal mouth painted a thin line, red, oiled; two slender white ears on the light traced a little light red; so that, the rabbit's face brings out a handsome look, but as if it is a rabbit in the Huang Tianba like. Its upper part was clothed in a vermilion robe, and from the waist downwards were bright green leaves and pink flowers, each leaf-fold and petal carefully tinted with a distinct and well-toned color, so that the green leaves and red flowers shone."

There is also a Rabbit Master in Jinan, which is similar to the Beijing Rabbit Master in appearance and production, but the biggest difference between the two is that the Rabbit Master in Jinan moves, and there is a spring inside the place where the head is connected to the body, which makes it even more adorable to shake the head.
