The traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in old Beijing is not only about eating mooncakes and appreciating the moon, but also about worshiping the Rabbit God. Worshiping the Rabbit God is a reflection of the good life of the old Beijingers, and they place their earnest hopes on the Rabbit God. The Rabbit God sitting on an elephant, "elephant" and "auspicious" are homophones, implying good luck; the Rabbit God sitting on a tiger, the tiger is the king of beasts, implying a prosperous career; the Rabbit God sitting on a gourd, "gourd" and "fortune" are homophones, implying both fortune and luck. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people invite the Rabbit God out and offer melons, fruits and mooncakes for worship. After the worship, the Rabbit God turns into a toy for children, and a new Rabbit God is invited into the house. This custom has been passed down for more than 400 years since the late Ming Dynasty.
