What is it suitable for?

1. Build a lighting shed
It is commonly known among the people as "Twelve Lantern Sheds". This means that the Lantern Festival is approaching, and the village manager will start to gather skilled craftsmen and young people to prepare lanterns and make various preparations for the Lantern Festival from this day on. There is a nursery rhyme that goes: "Eleven people are chattering, twelve people are setting up the lantern shed, thirteen people are lighting the lanterns, fourteen people are lighting the lanterns, fifteen people are at their zenith, sixteen people are putting out the lanterns."
2. Celebrate the Rat Festival
According to legend, the twelfth day of the first lunar month is the day when mice marry, and some say that this day is the mouse’s birthday. So people created all kinds of "programs" around mice, which not only expressed the people's hatred for mice, but also drove away the hard work of the folks for a year. The Han folk customs on this day include hiding scissors, collecting old shoes, pinching mouse mouths, etc. You cannot use scissors on the Rat Day. As long as you don’t hear the “clicking” sound of scissors, you won’t hear the “clicking” sound of mice eating food in your home for the whole year. That morning, children from every household carried baskets and went door to door collecting old shoes, and the villagers were also happy to give away the "evil" (shoes).
3. Make dumplings
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, every household makes dumplings. When making the dumplings, they must be pinched tightly, commonly known as pinching the mouse's mouth, meaning to make it happy and stop causing harm. People will pinch the dumplings into the shape of a mouse, with a mouth, ears, and tail, and use mung beans as eyes. People say that making dumplings is like "pinching a mouse's mouth." If the mouse's mouth is pinched to death, the mouse will not be able to bite things, and there will be no mice in the house for the whole year.
4. “Dian Ding” Day
In Hakka folk customs, people hang lanterns and decorations to celebrate family reunions during the Lantern Festival, and on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, each village will gather skilled craftsmen to build sheds and light lanterns. Since “deng” and “ding” have the same pronunciation in Hakka dialect, the twelfth day of the first lunar month is also the “dian ding” day.
