Now they have made me the Rabbit God, charged specifically with supervising the affairs in the world of men who appreciate other men. The Chinese name for rabbit, tu 兔, is said to derive from the idea that rabbits spit out (tu 吐) their young.
For the best iteration of beliefs related to the rabbit, one need look no further than the Biography of Mao Ying, written by the Tang dynasty statesman Han Yu 韩愈 (768-824), a well-known Confucian pedant and poet, but a forgotten humourist.
His ancestor Ming Shi helped Yu the Great govern the East. One day, the story goes, the inspector caught Hu peeping at his naked buttocks through a hole in the privy wall and had Hu beaten to death.
In eighteenth-century Fujian, which is just across the strait from Taiwan, there was indeed an organised cult centred on Hu Tianbao, believed to have the power in the afterlife to grant the wishes of men wanting have sex with younger men.
There is also a toad at the bottom, which according to Han Yu, gave the rabbit a ride on its back as they travelled to the moon together. Adopting same-gendered siblings may lead to increased aggression, particularly during puberty, as territorial instincts come into play. Dominance humping can occur between same-sex rabbits as a display of hierarchy or territorial behavior.
[2] Thus, its meaning must be carefully decoded to shine light on the author’s erudition and wit:
Mao Ying was a native of Central Mountain.
Translation: The rabbit-fur brush came from a region in Hebei famous for producing the best rabbit-fur brush. Proper management of the rabbit's environment is critical for maintaining behavioral harmony among male rabbits, especially when territorial instincts come into play.
Can Secondhand Smoke Affect the Sexual Orientation of Rabbits?

[5] There are ample records of Lord Rabbit in the ‘jottings’ 筆記 of the Ming and Qing. Jewish and homosexual people were both targeted by the Nazis in the Holocaust, so he was in a similar situation to her and likely saw it as a duty to protect a fellow discriminated person.
Taika Waititi discovered in his research that WWII Germany was very vibrant and fashionable and was interested in shying away from traditional war films that presented it as dark and dreary.
The rabbit thus stands for heterogeneity in a country that has always strived for the opposite. Having spent nearly a decade in the capital as a student and official, and formed friendships with male actors, he may have been subverting dominant culture by fusing the popular Beijing deity Lord Rabbit, and the slur for homosexual, with the cult of Hu Tianbao, which he most likely heard from his friend, Zhu Gui 朱珪 (1731–1807), an official tasked with eliminating the cult in Fujian.
Yu the Great is one of the three mythical rulers of ancient China. Crammed with clever double entendre, Han Yu’s parody resembles a literary riddle, and is written for the amusement of the educated reader. [1]
The difficulty of distinguishing the gender of rabbits (and hares, for distinction between the two species was not clearly made in the Chinese language) has led some ancient Chinese to believe that rabbits are androgynous.
