More about The Rabbit on the Moon, Chinese folklore

From Unveiling the Folklore of the Full Moon by Cheryl Burns, 2023 at treesisters.org
The Rabbit on the Moon

In East Asian mythology, the full moon is often associated with a different kind of creature—a rabbit. The story goes that a rabbit is residing on the moon, pounding a mortar and pestle, crafting the elixir of immortality.

The most well-known version of this tale comes from Chinese folklore, where the rabbit is said to be a companion to the moon goddess Chang'e. According to the legend, Chang'e consumed the elixir to prevent a power-hungry individual from obtaining it. As a result, she ascended to the moon, accompanied by her loyal rabbit companion.

This folkloric narrative not only explains the presence of the rabbit on the moon but also serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of meddling with the forces of immortality. The rabbit's perpetual pounding of the mortar and pestle echoes through the moonlit nights, symbolising determination and sacrifice in the pursuit of eternal life.
