老鼠娶亲

In folk tales, the mouse is the cleverest of the twelve zodiac animals. According to legend, in the selection of the zodiac, the original cow ran at the front, but the mouse secretly climbed on the back of the cow and jumped down when it was near the finish line, thus becoming the first of the zodiac.

 

In addition, there is a legend about "mice get married". It is said that on the night of the third day of the first lunar month, mice will hold a wedding. In order to avoid disturbing them, people will prepare some food in advance and put it in the corner to show their respect.

 

This allusion not only reflects the wit and cunning of mice, but also reflects China people's awe of nature.
