Who knows the origin of the old Beijing rabbit?

Male prostitutes appeared in the late Ming Dynasty.

Ji Kun, a Ming Dynasty man, recorded in the manuscript of the Examination Hall: "The Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing is mostly in the shape of a mud rabbit, dressed like a human figure, and children worship it." On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing, people make rabbits out of clay, put on clothes and hats, and sit on their plates like people. Children at home will worship it.

From the Ming Dynasty, the Han people needed to place male prostitutes to worship the moon, which is the earliest record of male prostitutes.

After the establishment of the Qing dynasty, the royal family of the Qing dynasty not only did not destroy the tradition of sacrificing the moon to the Han nationality, but rather inherited it devoutly. The activities of offering sacrifices to the moon in the harem are even more serious and very grand.

The folk sacrifice of rabbits is not so solemn, which highlights the nature of sightseeing. People call Jade Rabbit a prostitute, which is a little less solemn, but very kind, so the royal customs and habits have become real folk festivals. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, male prostitutes had become both sacrifices for the Mid-Autumn Festival and toys for children.

During the Republic of China, although the dynasty was changed again, the custom of worshipping and appreciating male prostitutes continued. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were stalls for male prostitutes everywhere. Adults and children who come to buy male prostitutes are crowded and bustling.

Until modern times, male prostitutes were also a popular craft of local people.
