The rabbit ranked fourth in the zodiac. It is a "卯" with the twelve territories, so when it is "卯" in the 12 o'clock of the day - from 5 am to 7 am, it is also called "the rabbit".

Speaking of the rabbit as a zodiac, the folks have an interesting legend of the "rabbit cow race".

According to legend, the rabbit and the ox are neighbors. They get along well and call each other brothers. The oxen worked hard and hard, and the rabbit relied on cleverness to make a living, and the days were good.

One day, the rabbit who is good at long-distance running shows off in the ox face: "I am the long-distance runner in the animal world, who can't run me!" The oxen humbly asked the teacher to run the trick, but the rabbit shook his head proudly and said: "The long-distance runner has to By relying on the innate qualities, learning can't be learned. Besides, long-distance running is light and easy, and your stout body may never run fast."

The heart of the oxen gave the rabbit a cold half, but he was not convinced. Since then, the ox has started to practice long-distance running. With a strong and steadfast cow, the ox has finally become a pair of "iron feet." The tail is awkward, the four hooves are like the wind, and we are not tired for a few days and nights.

On the day when the Jade Emperor was in the Zodiac, according to the rules, whoever first arrived would be the zodiac. The ox and the rabbit agreed that the chicken would go up all over the head and go straight to the Tiangong to compete for the zodiac.

The chicken was called all over, and when the oxen got up, the rabbit ran away alone. The rabbit ran for a while, and turned back, not seeing the shadow of any animal. The rabbit thought, I got up early today, and the fastest way to go is to get a good night's sleep. The title of this zodiac is not mine. So, it screamed and fell asleep on the grass.

Although the ox has fallen behind, it has been tough and endurance, and the iron feet that have been practiced in peacetime have been spurred. When the rabbit is still asleep, it first ran to the Heavenly Palace.

A rush of footsteps awakened the rabbit, and when I saw it, it turned out that the tiger ran like a gust of wind. The rabbit was in a hurry and hurryed to catch up. Unfortunately, it took a step and it still fell behind the tiger. Because the cow's double-angle also caught a small mouse that was opportunistic, the rabbit was only ranked fourth, the top three were rats, cows, tigers,

Although the rabbit became a Chinese zodiac, but the poor thought that there was no light on his face, he lost to his ironic old cow. After he came back, he moved his family to the earthen cave. Now the hare still lives in the earth cave, but the rabbit It is not going to learn the lesson. Do not believe, you will come to a "bull rabbit race" or "tortoise and rabbit race" today, the winner is definitely not a rabbit.

At 5-7 in the morning, the sun has not yet revealed its face, and the glory of the moon has not yet completely retired. The jade rabbit is the moon's name, and it is the only animal in the mythology of the moon palace.

"Twelve in the country, everyone has one." In the early 1970s, when Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka Kakuei visited China, the riddle was asked by Premier Zhou Enlai. Premier Zhou listened to laughter and blurted out: "12 Zodiac." This is a story that people talk about. The mouse, the ugly cow, the scorpion tiger, the forgiveness, the hen, the python, the yak, the yak, the monkey, the pheasant, the hyena, the hai, the zodiac are the ordinal units that take the animal as the visual identification. It is a symbolic system with richness. It is a sign of time, not quite the same. It abstracts from the ancient cultural landscape, and time injects rich connotations into this set of symbols. In a sense, the Zodiac provides a set of human “living cultures”.
