Due to the regional characteristics of mountainous areas and convenient access to high-quality wood, the wooden ship manufacturing industry, especially the ocean-going wooden ship manufacturing industry, is quite developed in southern Zhejiang and the coastal areas of Fujian. In terms of ship type, size, quantity, technology, etc., they are the best in the traditional Chinese wooden shipbuilding industry. At the same time, a specific wooden shipbuilding culture has also been formed. One of the more interesting things is that the parts on the wooden ship are named after the traditional Chinese zodiac . "Many people in Fujian say that there are twelve zodiac signs in the boat, where are they tied? However, they are all in local dialect, so it is difficult to understand. Only those who are familiar with water affairs often use this as an excuse to ask questions to show their familiarity."

Today, we will take "rabbit" as the theme and introduce this interesting naming custom in combination with the traditional Chinese wooden sailboat model collected by the China Maritime Museum, and also popularize the main components of ancient wooden sailboats .
