One day a ragged beggar (衣衫褴褛的乞丐) was walking slowly from house to house. He carried an old wallet in one hand and at every house he asked for a little money to buy something to eat. As he was complaining (抱怨) at his bad luck, he kept wondering why people who had so much money were never satisfied and always wanted more.

At that moment, Fortune (幸运女神) came down the street. She saw the beggar and stopped. She said to him, “I have a gift for you. Open your wallet and hold it. And then I will pour (倒) some gold into it. Remember: all that falls into your wallet will be gold, but all that hits the ground will turn into sand. Do you understand?”
“Oh, yes. I understand.” said the beggar.
“Your wallet is old. Don’t put too much in it.” said Fortune.
The beggar opened his wallet and a stream of gold was poured into it. His wallet grew heavy.
“You are a rich man now,” said Fortune, “I think you should stop! Your wallet is going to break!” However, the beggar said he wanted a bit more. Fortune continued to pour the gold and the wallet split. All the gold fell to the ground and turned into sand.
Looking at his empty wallet, the beggar couldn’t help crying, “Where is my gift? Oh, my gift!”

According to the traditional Chinese custom, 2023 is just the year of the Rabbit. Ranking as the fourth animal in the Chinese zodiac(生肖), the rabbit is not only a symbol of kindness and cuteness, but also a love of beauty in Chinese culture.
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are smart. Although they are sometimes shy, they have a strong mind and always try to make their dreams come true. They are also calm and peaceful. They avoid fighting and arguing at all times. And they are talented and they also take interest in artistic activities.
As a cultural image, the zodiac rabbit has been in different forms of art, including stamps, colorful lights and exhibitions. An old artist Huang Yongyu has created two popular stamps for the Year of the Rabbit. He designed the stamps in this way to express joy and happiness.

It describes a blue rabbit with a pen and paper. It is writing New Year wishes to people. Lan Tu is the translation of “blue rabbit”. It sounds like the translation of “blueprint” in Chinese and it means a bright future and good luck in Chinese culture.

It is about three rabbits running after each other from head to tail. If you have a close look, you can see a Moon Rabbit pounding(捣碎) medicine in the background of the stamp. This also means wishes for good health and happiness.
(Chart Ⅰ)
Besides, some artists worldwide have created many rabbit cartoon characters. They have excited the children in the world for many years. Let’s have a look at some of them.

He is Peter Rabbit. He is every child’s favorite rabbit in the UK. Peter always wears a blue jacket. He likes to play tricks. He often runs into Mr. McGregor’s garden to eat his vegetables. Mr. McGregor can never catch him.

Miffy is a cute rabbit with two dots and a cross for a face. Miffy was drawn by an artist in Netherlands(荷兰). The first Miffy book came out in 1955. This simple rabbit has brought happiness to many children.

Bugs Bunny was born in 1938 in New York of the USA. Everyone remembers his famous line: “What’s up, Doc?” He performed with Michael Jordan in the film Space Jam in 1996.
