Historical legends of male prostitutes:

According to legend, a great plague broke out in Beijing a long time ago. Chang 'e, who lives in Guanghan Palace, could not bear to see the sufferings of the people, so she sent a jade rabbit to the world to eliminate disasters and diseases for the people. After Yutu's lower bound, she was worried that her appearance would scare the people, so she became human. In order to cure all patients faster, Yutu kept running around.

Once, Yutu made a mistake in her busy work, revealing her long ears and rabbit's face. People accidentally found that Yutu, who had been fiddling with medicine on the moon all day, was gone. Everyone finally understood that the rabbit face doctor was a jade rabbit sent by Chang 'e, and returned to the Moon Palace after eliminating the plague for the people.

In order to appreciate the kindness of Jade Rabbit, people respectfully call it a "male prostitute". Since then, male prostitutes have become gods to eliminate disasters and diseases. Later, according to the legend of Jade Rabbit, people created various male prostitutes with clay. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, Beijingers will hold a memorial service to worship male prostitutes. Later, through the bold creation of folk artists, male prostitutes gradually personified: rabbits with pestles in their hands.

Since then, some skilled artists have shaped male prostitutes into warriors wearing golden helmets and shining armor, some riding wild animals such as tigers, lions and elephants, and some riding birds such as peacocks and cranes.
