Subject: BS: New Year of the Water Rabbit From: keberoxu Date: 22 Jan 23 - 06:27 PM Happy Lunar New Year! I read somewhere that this is the year of the Black Water Rabbit. Unfortunate implication, though, to put Black + Water together like that. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Year of the Rabbit From: Manitas_at_home Date: 23 Jan 23 - 06:59 AM The Chinese zodiac is actually a 60 year cycle. Each cycle of 12 years is associated with an element so it is really a Water Rabbit. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Year of the Rabbit From: keberoxu Date: 23 Jan 23 - 08:31 AM I overlooked another detail: it is a Yin, rather than a Yang, Water Rabbit. And one source states that in Chinese tradition, the color of water is black -- hence, black rabbit. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Year of the Rabbit From: Steve Shaw Date: 24 Jan 23 - 07:00 AM I always thought that black rabbit was burnt cheese on toast. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Year of the Rabbit From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 24 Jan 23 - 07:08 AM I was once told that a more accurate translation is, "Year of the Small Domestic Animal" (which could cover Cat and Rabbit, presumably). The informant was in earnest, though of course she could have been misinformed. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Year of the Rabbit From: Mrrzy Date: 25 Jan 23 - 02:50 PM Yin water rabbit, or cat in Vietnam, I read. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Year of the Rabbit From: keberoxu Date: 26 Jan 23 - 03:17 PM . . . and next year, probably a Yang year, is the year of the Dragon. Watch out! |
Subject: RE: BS: New Year of the Rabbit From: Mr Red Date: 01 Feb 23 - 05:27 PM Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit................ gertcha. Could be a year for Chas & Dave, though I think it a son instead these days. |
