The Rabbit is the fourth amongst Chinese zodiac animals. According to myth, the Jade Emporer wanted to select a new medicine maker and did not trust a human for the job. So he went to the forest and pretended to be an old man in search of food. He came across a fox, a rabbit and a monkey.
In order to test the virtues of the three animals, he said: “I am too weak to move, please bring me some food.”
The monkey and fox offered him food right away. But the rabbit found nothing he could offer., So instead, it jumped into the fire and offered itself as food. The Jade Emporer was moved by the rabbit’s sacrifice, so he granted the rabbit eternal life and made him the next divine medicine maker.
