動物雕塑兔子的象征和意義
動物雕塑兔子的象征意義和它的生活習(xí)性與生活技巧密切相關(guān)。兔子隨時都靠靈敏的聽覺和視覺來探測周圍的動靜，如果有什么風(fēng)吹草動，兔子先是一動不動，精待其變，如果真有危險，動物雕塑兔子便以迅雷不及掩耳的速度飛奔而去。因此，中國古代就有了“靜如處子，動若脫兔”的說法。

The rabbit always relies on the sensitive hearing and vision to detect the movement around, if there is any wind, the rabbit first motionless, fine to wait for its change, if there is real danger, then to the speed of lightning run away. Therefore, there is a saying in ancient China: "Be as quiet as a virgin, as active as a rabbit".
于是兔子象征著高度的警惕性和容易受到驚嚇。而且兔子善于挖掘復(fù)雜的洞穴，于是還象征著具有迷惑性的人，或者有多種應(yīng)急能力的人。同時兔子那高度的繁殖力和隨時準(zhǔn)備交配的特性也令兔子稱為色欲和生育能力的象征；而且也與再生、春天聯(lián)系在起來，于是在西方，兔子是新生命和興旺發(fā)達(dá)的象征，兔子和彩蛋一起稱為了復(fù)活節(jié)的吉祥物。

And because rabbits are good at digging complex burrows, they also symbolize a person who is deceptive or has multiple emergency capabilities. At the same time, the rabbit's high fecundity and readiness to mate also makes it a symbol of lust and fertility; And also associated with regeneration, spring, so in the West, the rabbit is a symbol of new life and prosperity, the rabbit and eggs together known as the mascot of Easter.
