Officially, the Year of the Rabbit has not yet begun. It begins on Chinese New Year’s Day on January 22. However, some Chinese women are already stocking up on red rabbits, like in this picture from Wuhan. The past year of the tiger stood – in line with the character of a predator – for courage, but also for anger and aggression. The rabbit, on the other hand, is considered gentle, calm, friendly and patient. So starting the Year of the Rabbit early can’t hurt.
