What is the legend of the Jade Rabbit?

The rabbit is another symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to legend, Chang 'e, who lives in the Moon Palace, holds a rabbit in her arms as white as jade, so she is called "Jade Rabbit". Jade rabbit knelt on the ground with a jade pestle. Taking this medicine can make him live forever.

Some people say that Yutu was originally Houyi, because the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon missed Houyi. In order to be with Chang 'e, Hou Yi is willing to be her favorite little animal-Jade Rabbit. It's a pity that Chang 'e never knew that Jade Rabbit was the Hou Yi she missed day and night.

Romance of the Gods: In China's classical fairy novel Romance of the Gods, Ji Chang, the king of novels of the Zhou Dynasty in Xiqi, was imprisoned by Zhou Wang and returned to Xiqi on July 28th.

Halfway through, Bo Yikao, the oldest son of the dense, went to see the holy one, presented three treasures from his family, and asked Zhou Wang to let the dense return to his hometown. He was framed by da ji, a fox, who chopped the body into pieces and refined it into patties for Ji Chang to eat. Ji Chang ate meat pies to save his life and to overthrow the tyranny of Zhou Wang in the future. After that, Boycott became a jade rabbit because of the lack of three souls (Boycott was named the Great Emperor of Wei Zi in the original book, but he did not become a jade rabbit).
