What does it mean to meet a rabbit?

Meeting a rabbit and getting lucky is a small game of ancient people.

There are osmanthus trees in Huainanzi, and the fruits fall into the world after April and May every year. Because the Jade Rabbit is a fairy in the middle of the moon, people often hide it in laurel bushes, and the first person to find it will have the auspicious omen of "laurel tree of the moon".

When you meet a rabbit, you will get a rabbit first, which means high school next year.

Since then, scholars often use this as a tea preface. According to the Book of Tea, many tea sets produced in Jingdezhen have designs of cassia twig and Tibetan rabbit. Usually, there is only one tea set. I met a Tibetan rabbit when I was drinking tea, which indicated that the weather would be good in the coming year, and then it was widely circulated among the people. The first one will be crowned with dignity and prosperity, and the business will be prosperous.

The origin of the Year of the Rabbit:

The Year of the Rabbit is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the zodiac is attached to the calendar year of the main branch, and the calendar year of the main branch is the calendar year method of the main branch. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar). There is no doubt that the lunar calendar only uses branches to mark the year, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve.

Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in each year.

The trunk calendar is a calendar marked with 60 different heavenly stems and earthly branches, which is a unique solar calendar in China. It takes beginning of spring as the beginning of the year, and divides the year into twelve months with twenty-four solar terms. Every month contains two solar terms, and there is no leap month. The dry calendar is related to the periodic movement of the earth around the sun, which can reflect the climate change throughout the year.
