Chairman Chen Yihui said that this year is the Year of the Rabbit. The tortoise and the hare doll is designed to remind everyone of the allusion of the tortoise and the hare. In the end, it ended in failure. Since the design and production of the dolls take a lot of time, it has to be done early, and the annual dolls are often sent out very quickly. The believers who want it have to seize the time to go to the temple to worship during the Spring Festival. Replenish the treasury and consult with the temple.
