Tu'er Ye (), also known as the Rabbit God, is a deity of Chinese folk religion unique to Beijing, where his sculptures are traditionally crafted. He is related with moon worship, as he is considered the moon rabbit of the goddess Chang'e. The name "Tu'er Ye" is said to be a corrupted form of the more appropriate "Tuye Er" (兔爷儿, "Rabbit God (as a) Youth"). In his traditional iconography, he rides a tiger, a dragon or a horse, but he is represented standing alone as well. The cult of the Rabbit God started in Beijing in 1906, later in the 20th century disappeared, and was resumed only in the late 2000s. He has a female counterpart, Tu'er Nainai (). He has not to be confused with Tu'er Shen, a different cult of perhaps the same deity. ==See also== * Lunar deity * Chang'e * Tuershen 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tu'er Ye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
