Some are on the seventh day of the first lunar month, some are on the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, and in many areas it is on the tenth day of the first lunar month. On the tenth day, people in many places light lamps, burn incense and offer paper in the corners of houses, walls and water jars to celebrate the wedding of mice.

In some areas, people are accustomed to using grain flour to make steamed food, which is called "Shizituan". At night, it is placed in holes in corners of walls for mice to eat. 3. Hanging Lanterns The lanterns hung on the tenth day are called “Adding a Son Lanterns”. The name of the Tianding Lantern comes from the fact that the pronunciations of “deng” and “ding” in Cantonese are similar, and “tiandeng” means “adding a son”. In the past, in Zhu Village, if a baby boy was born in the village, the whole family would go to the altar of land and grain to hang lanterns on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Thoughtful elders will even write the name of the newlywed on the lantern. Such practice was a big matter related to the inheritance at that time. The elder in the village who was responsible for recording the family tree would record the name of the newcomer, and from then on he would have a status in the clan. 4. Lantern Wine: On the tenth day of the first lunar month every year, families who gave birth to boys in the previous year will go to community temples and ancestral halls to hang lanterns. Lanterns are usually made of bamboo frames, covered with patterned paper, and written with auspicious riddles; oil lamps are lit inside the lanterns, which need to be refilled with oil every day. If there are many families in the village who need to hang lanterns and there is no place to hang them in the community temple, they have to set up another lantern shed. 5. Eat oat noodles. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, there is a custom in the Mongolian and Shanxi regions of eating oat noodles to celebrate the wedding of mice. According to folk tradition, this day is also known as "Rat Wedding Day". Eating oat noodles is to please the Rat God and pray for good luck in the new year. What are the customs and habits on the tenth day of the first lunar month?The Chinese folk legend of "The Mouse's Wedding" is very popular in our country. However, the date of "Rat's Wedding" varies from place to place.In the folk legends of the Jiangnan area, mice are said to be harmful and unlucky, so they must be married off on the night of the 30th day of the lunar year to ensure peace and good fortune in the coming year. In some places in the suburbs of Shanghai, it is said that the mouse's daughter gets married on the 16th day of the first lunar month. On this night, every household fries sesame candy, which is the wedding candy prepared for the mouse's wedding. In the north, the mouse daughter's wedding is on the night of the 25th day of the first lunar month. On this night, no lights were turned on in every household. The whole family sat on the kang, silent, eating "rat claws", "scorpion tails" and fried soybeans made of flour in the dark. Not lighting the lamp and not making any noise means to provide convenience for the mouse to marry its daughter, for fear of disturbing the happy event. Eating "rat claws" means that people hope the mouse's claws will itch so that they can get up and move earlier; eating "scorpion tails" is to prevent the mouse from being harmed by the scorpion when it marries its daughter out of the hole. The crisp sound of eating fried soybeans seems like setting off firecrackers for a mouse wedding. |
