The Jade Rabbit's Perpetual Task
The Jade Rabbit and the Elixir of Immortality
On the moon, nestled amongst the craters and plains, lives the Jade Rabbit. Legend says that the goddess Chang'e, after consuming the elixir of immortality stolen from her husband, the archer Houyi, fled to the moon. But she was not alone. With her went a humble, selfless rabbit who had sacrificed himself to feed a starving old man, a deed witnessed by the Jade Emperor. Moved by the rabbit's compassion, the emperor brought him to the moon.
Chang'e, forever bound to the lunar sphere, tasked the Jade Rabbit with a crucial task. Using a mortar and pestle, the rabbit diligently pounds ingredients to create another elixir of immortality. However, the ingredients are rare and hard to find, so the elixir is never quite finished. Some say that on nights of the waxing gibbous moon, when the moon is full and bright, you can see the Jade Rabbit working tirelessly, a symbol of dedication and the perpetual pursuit of perfection.
The Jade Rabbit, therefore, reminds us that even in exile or imperfection, there is always purpose. The waxing gibbous moon, nearing fullness, reflects this idea, showing the near-completion of a cycle, and the ongoing work required to achieve true fulfillment. Even Chang'e herself is thought to regret her actions, and through the Jade Rabbit, she offers the promise of redemption and the unending pursuit of betterment.
