Legends and stories of Jade Rabbit Manipulation Medicine (Ⅱ):
Legend has it that there is a rabbit in the moon, as white as jade, so it is called "Jade Rabbit". This kind of white rabbit holds a jade pestle and kneels down to pound the medicine into toad pills. Taking these pills can make you live forever. Over time, Jade Rabbit became synonymous with the moon. Ancient literati wrote poems and lyrics, often symbolizing the moon with jade rabbits. For example, Xin Qiji's "Man Jiang Hong Mid-Autumn Festival" uses a jade rabbit to represent the moon. As for many old novels, such anecdotes are often used to imply the moon. In Taoism, the jade rabbit is often opposite to the sun, indicating the coordination of yin and yang in the cultivation of elixir.
