Looking at cultural relics discovered around the country, the rabbit has long been seen as an auspicious animal. For instance, there is the rabbit-shaped jade discovered in the Tomb of Fu Hao, wife of King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty. Carved like it is running along the ground, the jade rabbit has a raised head and a slightly opened mouth. The image of the rabbit started to be widely seen as ornaments or clothing patterns during the Han Dynasty, when worship of the sun and moon was all the rage, Chen Lüsheng, a renowned museologist and researcher at the National Museum of China, told the Global Times.
