Rabbit is the fourth of the 12 zodiac animals. It is associated with the twelve branches of the earth, so twelve o'clock in the day is also called "rabbit time"-from five to seven in the morning.
Speaking of rabbit, the Chinese zodiac, there is an interesting legend of "rabbit-cow race" circulating among the people.
According to legend, rabbits and cows are neighbors. They get along well and call each other brothers. Cows live by hard work, rabbits live by cleverness and ability, and they all live well.
One day, the rabbit who is good at long-distance running shows off in front of the cow: "I am the champion of long-distance running in the animal kingdom, and no one can outrun me!" " "The bull humbly asks for the know-how of long-distance running, but the rabbit proudly shakes his head and says," Long-distance running champions can't learn by their innate qualities. "In addition, if you run lightly, you will never run fast."
Niu Xin was half cold to the rabbit, but he was not convinced. From then on, scalpers began to practice long-distance running. With the strength of an indomitable bull, the bull finally became a pair of "iron feet". I don't know how tired I am for days and nights.
On the day when the Jade Emperor ranked the zodiac, according to the rules, whoever arrived first was allowed to be the zodiac. The cow and the rabbit agreed that the rooster would get up at the first crow and go straight to the Heavenly Palace to compete for the zodiac.
When the cock crowed for the first time, when the bull got up, the rabbit had run away alone. The rabbit ran for a long time, turned around and hugged it, but there was no sign of any animals. Rabbit thought, I got up the earliest and ran the fastest today, that is, I slept. The first name of this zodiac is mine, too. So it fell asleep on the grass.
Although the bull lags behind, it is driven by its tenacious endurance and steel-like foot strength. While the rabbit was still sleeping, it ran to the heavenly palace first.
A rush of footsteps woke the rabbit. When I opened my eyes, it turned out that the tiger ran past like a gust of wind. Now the rabbit is in a hurry and rushes to catch up. It's a pity that we are a step behind the tiger. Because there is an opportunistic mouse squatting between the horns of the cow, the rabbit is only ranked fourth, and the top three are mouse, cow and tiger.
Although the rabbit became the zodiac, in the end he felt ashamed and lost to his sarcastic old cow. After he came back, he moved his family to a cave, and now the rabbit still lives in the cave. But rabbits don't learn from it. Do not believe me, today you will have another "bull-rabbit race" or "tortoise-rabbit race", and the winner will definitely be the rabbit.
From 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning (that is, "Shi Mao"), the sun has not appeared, and the brilliance of the moon has not completely retired. The Jade Rabbit is the symbol of the moon and the only animal in the myth of the Moon Palace, so Shi Mao matches the rabbit.
A classic story about rabbits
One sunny afternoon, a rabbit came out of the hole to enjoy the good weather. The weather was so good that she lost her guard. A fox followed closely and caught her.
"I want to eat you for lunch!" Said the fox.
"Wait!" The rabbit replied. "You should wait at least a few days." "oh? Is it? Why should I wait? "
"Well, I'm finishing my doctoral thesis." "Ha, that's a stupid reason. What is the title of your thesis? " "I'm writing" rabbits are superior to foxes and wolves ".
"Are you crazy? I should eat you right now! Everyone knows that foxes are better than free children. "
"According to my research, not exactly. If you like, you can come to my cave and read for yourself. If you can't be persuaded, you
You can eat me for lunch. "
"You are crazy!" But the fox was curious, and it wouldn't hurt to read the newspaper, so he went in with the rabbit. The fox never came out.
Let's go
A few days later, the rabbit came out to rest again. The wolves came out of the bushes and prepared to eat her.
"Wait!" Cried the rabbit. "You can't eat me now."
"Why? My fluffy appetizer. "
"My thesis' Rabbits are superior to foxes and wolves' is almost finished."
The wolf laughed so hard that he let go of his grip on the rabbit.
"Maybe I shouldn't eat you. Your brain is really sick. You may have some kind of infectious disease. "
"You can read it yourself. If you don't agree with my conclusion, you can eat me. "
So the wolf and the rabbit went into the hole and never came out.
The rabbit finally finished her paper and came out to celebrate among the radishes.
Another free child came over and asked her, "What's the matter? You look very happy. "
"Yes, I just finished writing my thesis."
"Congratulations! What is the theme? "
"Rabbits are superior to foxes and wolves."
"Are you sure? This doesn't sound right. " "oh! Come in and read it yourself. " So they went into the cave together.
When they went in, their friends saw a typical graduate student's nest, which was a mess and finished writing their papers. Store this controversial
The computer of sex paper is in a corner, with a pile of fox bones on the right, a pile of wolf bones on the left and a huge lion in the middle.
