Don’t you mean Spring bunnies? No, in Chinese culture, white rabbits are associated with the Autumn harvest moon, during the Mid Autumn Moon Festival. Legend tells us that the Jade Rabbit is the herbalist doctor that is busy making the elixir of immortality. As a companion to the Moon Goddess his function is to continue to find a cure for her to return to the earthly world. A more likely reason why the rabbit became the symbol for medicinal wisdom is a practical one. Traditional Chinese medicine herbalists selected herbs by observing the rabbit’s herbal choices for safe, non-poisonous vegetation. In short, before the guinea pigs and lab rats, the Chinese patiently watched the white rabbit take herbal cures. The Jade Rabbit on the Moon is a reminder of its self sacrificing virtues. Therefore, the big white rabbit candy, bearing the symbol of the white rabbit, is one of the most popular candies in Chinese culture.
