The Japanese see the moon surface image of a rabbit pounding rice with a hammer to prepare mochi (a traditional sweet). This image has a caption:
There is an old pilgrim found one day a monkey, a fox and a hare. The man, elderly, was exhausted by his journey which led him to ask the three animals as a favor, get him some food. The monkey climbed a tree and picked fruit, with great agility fox caught a bird and hare with great regret, he returned empty-handed.
Seeing the old man's sad face and tired, felt guilty. Then he picked up branches and leaves, lit a fire and ran inside to offer herself as food. The old man, moved by the tragic sacrifice of the poor animal, revealed his true identity. He was a deity of great power who collected the remains of the hare and buried on the moon as a monument to his gesture of solidarity.
This story is part of Japanese culture. As a curious note, after narrating usually explained, mainly children, the rabbits jump trying to reach his hero resting on the moon.

is a nice story that exists in many cultures, particularly in East Asian folklore, where it is seen hitting in a mortar and pestle. In Chinese folklore, it is often described as a companion of the moon goddess Chang'e, constantly hitting the elixir of life for her; in Korean version it is just pounding the ingredients for rice cake.

In your comment is a little mistake:
ReplyDeleteAt principle would be: "It(or This) is a nice story..."
I have heard this before, It is a very famous story, in fact, the moon rabbit was mentioned in the conversation between Houston and the Apollo 11 crew just before the first moon landing. (Melissa Perez)
ReplyDeleteIt is an issue that will always have a thousand and one theory, and we can not say no pores, is unfinished, but I think Stephen Hawking's theories are valid and some tested, I think you should try to analyze these theories over the Big loa Bang and black holes.
ReplyDeleteWith respect to the rabbit, my opinion is that human beings see what we want to see.(andrea verdugo)
