The Story of Jade Rabbit

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a pair of rabbits who practiced for thousands of years and became immortals. They have four lovely daughters, all pure white and well-behaved.

One day, the Jade Emperor summoned the male rabbit to the Heavenly Palace. He reluctantly left his wife and children and went through the clouds to the Heavenly Palace. Just as it came to the worse heaven, it saw the Taibai Venus leading the heavenly soldiers to walk away with Chang 'e. The Rabbit Fairy didn't know what had happened, so she asked a nearby god who guarded the worse heaven. When Rabbit Fairy heard about her experience, she felt that Chang 'e had suffered innocently and sympathized with her. But my strength is meager. What can I do to help?

Think of how lonely and sad Chang 'e is alone in the moon palace. If only there were company, suddenly she remembered her four daughters, so she flew home at once.

Rabbit fairy told the mother rabbit about Chang 'e and said that she would send a child to accompany Chang 'e. Although the mother rabbit deeply sympathizes with Chang 'e, she is reluctant to part with her precious daughter, which is equivalent to cutting off the meat in her heart! Several daughters are reluctant to leave their parents, and they are all in tears.

The male rabbit said seriously, "If I am locked up alone, will you accompany me?" Chang 'e was tied up to save the people. Can we not sympathize with her? Son, we can't just think about ourselves! "

The children understood their father's heart and expressed their willingness to go. The male rabbit and the female rabbit laughed with tears in their eyes. They decided to let their youngest daughter leave. So Xiaoyu Rabbit bid farewell to her parents and sisters and went to the Moon Palace to accompany Chang 'e.

When the Jade Rabbit is mentioned, people will associate it with the Mid-Autumn Festival. In contemporary society, the population of China is in a state of great mobility and migration, and thousands of people leave their familiar hometowns for strange places. People's attachment to their hometown can be realized from a popular song "Go home often" in previous years. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion custom and the use of this custom to express a feeling of missing and relieve the homesickness of wanderers have very important life service value in contemporary society.

Due to various social reasons, the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival custom was broken in the inheritance. Therefore, the main task at present is to repair or rebuild the festival tradition and revive the festival customs with positive significance through the joint efforts of the whole society. At the same time, outdated old customs are abandoned or replaced and updated, and new customs are added according to the needs of the public.
