[Clay rabbit master]
Clay rabbit master, in the late Qing Dynasty, is 31 cm high, 25 cm long and 8 cm wide. The old collection of the Qing Palace
The rabbit master, also known as “colored rabbit”, is basically made of clay sculpture and painted. The rabbit appeared as a civil official, wearing an official hat and uniform, holding a pestle, holding the official belt with one hand, and riding sideways on a sika deer with a charmingly naive look. The rabbit sat upright on the sika deer. Because “deer” and “salary” are homophonic, they refer to “salary” and then extended to official positions, expressing people’s desire for prosperity
The rabbit father is a traditional toy for the Mid-Autumn Festival, which originates from the traditional Chinese worship of the moon god. It is said that there are Chang’e and Jade Rabbit in the moon palace. Jade Rabbit cures diseases and disasters for the people in the world, and people have created a colorful image of the rabbit
