Shuang Yan of Beijing makes a Lord Rabbit sculpture, a popular ornament for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival. Shuang, born in 1958, learned to make clay figures of Lord Rabbit from his father at age 7. Lord Rabbit is a mythical creature said to have been sent down from the moon to bring good health and safety. Many people today still worship Lord Rabbit at the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, or Sept. 15 this year. Shuang said it¡¯s hard to know clearly when the tradition started, but it certainly became popular in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Today many of the materials used to make Lord Rabbit are hard to find, he said. (Photo: China News Service/Fu Tian)
