我国是世界上养兔最早的国家,早在先秦时代,我国即已开始养兔,比欧洲早一千余年(据德国动物学家 Hans Nachtsheim 考证,欧洲到16世纪才开始繁殖家兔)。我国古籍中,有关野生狡兔的记载很多,白兔被当作吉祥的动物奉献给帝王,有不少有关白兔的神话传说,对兔的习性、饲养情况、产品利用,亦颇多记载。
China was the earliest country to raise rabbits in the world. As early as the pre-Qin era, our country started to raise rabbits more than a thousand years earlier than in Europe (according to the German zoologist Hans Nachtsheim, only breeding rabbits began in Europe in the 16th century). In ancient Chinese books, there are many records about wild sophora, and the white rabbits are dedicated to the emperor as auspicious creatures. There are quite a few myths and legends about the rabbits. There are also a lot of records on the habits, breeding conditions and product utilization of the rabbits.
