The proverb in the countryside "rabbits don't eat grass near their nest" can be said to be a household name. The surface meaning of this sentence is that rabbits don't eat grass next to their nest. However, when people quote this saying, it is an extended meaning of "being good with neighbors". Warn people not to do bad things at the door of the house. It is also a metaphor for bad people not doing bad things locally.
It is said that this sentence comes from:
There is a ravine deep in the silent mountain. A brood of rabbits lives in the ravine-mother rabbit, little gray rabbit, little black rabbit. Mother Gray Rabbit taught her two children from an early age: "Rabbits don't eat grass near their nest, otherwise hunters will come to the door." So they don't eat grass near their nest. Later, when the two rabbits grew up, the gray rabbit and the black rabbit left their mothers and lived separately. The gray rabbit lives on the east side of the ravine, and the black rabbit lives on the west side.
After the two rabbits left their mothers, the gray rabbits remembered their mother's advice, not to eat grass near the nest, and went to a far place to find grass to eat every day. The black rabbit gradually became lazy, thinking that since there is grass to eat beside his nest, why bother to stay near and farther and eat the grass beside his nest every day. Finally one day, a hunter came to this ravine, and both rabbits were hiding in their dens. Because the black rabbit had eaten up the grass next to his den, the hunter spotted the black rabbit's den at a glance and caught the black rabbit. The gray rabbit’s nest was not found by the hunter because it was covered by weeds, so it escaped.
Although the rabbit is a typical herbivore, it does not eat the grass beside the nest. The grass on the edge of the nest is used to hide, and if you eat it, don’t you expose yourself to the enemy’s eyes and kill yourself? It can be seen that to protect the living environment is to protect yourself.

This sentence comes from the first volume of Gao Yang's "The Complete Biography of Hu Xueyan·A Peaceful Step in the Clouds": "You can rest assured,'Rabbits don't eat grass on the edge of their nest'. If you have this mind, I won't be the first Let me tell you.” According to legend, during the Qing Dynasty, the government was corrupt and wars continued, and many people were displaced and homeless. Among them, Hu Xueyan had a good friend. In order to escape, he handed over his wife and daughter to Hu Xueyan to take care of him, but he was a little worried. So he told Hu Xueyan politely, and after he listened to it, he smiled and said: Don’t worry, rabbits don’t eat grass on the edge of the nest. If I have this mind, I will never be called Hu Xueyan. "After hearing what his friend said, his friend was relieved to flee, but in the end Hu Xueyan got along with his friend's wife day and night, and soon adopted her as a concubine, and her husband has never heard from it!
