Amin Ji Kun recorded in "The Legacy of Examination Hall": "The Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing is mostly in the shape of a mud rabbit, dressed as an adult, and children worship it." On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing, people make rabbits out of clay, put on clothes and hats, and sit on their plates like people. Children at home will worship it.
Since the Ming Dynasty, the Han people need to place male prostitutes when offering sacrifices to the moon, which is the earliest record of male prostitutes.
After the establishment of the Qing dynasty, the royal family of the Qing dynasty not only did not destroy the tradition of sacrificing the moon to the Han nationality, but rather inherited this tradition quite devoutly. The activities of offering sacrifices to the moon in the harem are even more serious and very grand.
The folk sacrifice to rabbits is not so solemn, which highlights the nature of sightseeing. People call Yutu a prostitute, which is a little less solemn, but very kind, so the royal customs and habits have become real folk festivals. By the end of the Qing dynasty, male prostitutes had become sacrifices and children's toys for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
During the Republic of China, although the dynasties changed again, the custom of worshipping men and appreciating women continued. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are stalls for male prostitutes everywhere. Adults and children who come to buy male prostitutes are crowded and bustling.
Until modern times, male prostitutes were also popular handicrafts among local people.
