Beloved creature

China Daily  

An artistic performance re-creates the grandeur of a renowned Tang Dynasty painting. For those eager to dive deeper into the rich history and culture surrounding the creature, as part of the Chinese zodiac, Tu Nian Tu Bao Bei — a seven-episode program that premiered on CCTV-14 and now available on CCTV's website — offers a fun and informative way to explore related archaeological and ancient knowledge. Produced by CCTV-14, the children's channel owned by China Media Group, the show gathers seven families, dividing the children, aged between 6 and 11, and their parents into two groups. Among them is the country's oldest "jade rabbit", a little palm-sized object unearthed at the Lingjiatan relic site in Ma'anshan in East China's Anhui province. Other highlighted "protagonists" in different episodes vary from a bronze rabbit head from Beijing's Yuanmingyuan Park, or the Old Summer Palace, to an anthropomorphic rabbit sculpture wearing an official's outfit displayed at Shaanxi History Museum, which is believed to have been made during the Tang Dynasty.
