The Rabbit King

In ancient times, the white rabbit was said to have been one of the first to fly to the moon.

Way back when, rabbit figurines were typically sold on the streets of Beijing during the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the Ming Dynasty, clay figurines of rabbits were used when worshipping the moon.

The body, face and gesture of the figurine were like human beings with the exception of the long ears like rabbits.
