Clay rabbits
Worshipping clay rabbits was an old popular Chinese tradition in Northern China. People believed clay rabbits could bring joy, health and happiness to children on Mid-Autumn Festival.
There are four kinds of clay rabbits - one riding an elephant, one riding a tiger, one on a gourd and one on a qi lin, a mystical creature with dragon-like features in Chinese mythology.
