Folk belief
Once upon a time, an old mouse couple lived in a damp, cold black hole, watching their beautiful daughter grow up day by day. The couple promised to find the best in-laws for the girl, to let the girl get rid of this invisible life. So the mouse couple went out to look for their relatives. As soon as I went out, I saw the manly sun in the sky. The sun, they thought, was the most powerful thing in the world, and any dark ghost feared its rays. When a daughter marries the sun, doesn't she marry the light? The sun heard the request of the mouse and his wife, and frowned and said, "Venerable old people, I am not as strong as you think, and the dark clouds can cover my light." The mouse couple were speechless. So he came to Black Cloud and asked her for a bride. Black cloud replied with a wry smile: "Although I have the power to block the light, but only need a breeze, can let me 'cloud'." The mouse couple thought and found the wind that restrained the dark clouds. Wind laughed: "I can blow away the dark clouds, but only a wall can subdue me!" The mouse couple found the wall again, and the wall saw them, showing a look of fear: "In this world, I am most afraid of you mice, no matter how strong the wall can not resist the mice to make holes, and eventually collapse." The mouse couple looked at each other, it seems that we mice are the most powerful. The two old men discussed, who are we mice afraid of? Oh, by the way! Since ancient times mice have been afraid of cats! So the mouse couple found the cat and insisted on marrying the cat. The cat laughed and agreed. On the wedding day, the mice married off their most beautiful daughters with the most solemn ceremony. The unexpected happened. The cat came out from behind and ate his bride in one bite.

It is believed that the concept of marrying disaster has a long history. "Dialect One" : "Marry, go also. What comes out of one's own house is called marriage, and what comes out of a woman is called marriage." The so-called marriage disaster, marriage, marriage rats, contains the disaster, right and wrong, rats and insects out of the family meaning.
Folk belief
The date of marriage for rats is mostly in
The 23rd of the twelfth month
To the 25th of the first month, this is the peak season of rat breeding, sending rats to marry means sending rats "out of their own homes", from people's psychological point of view, it can achieve the purpose of eradicating rat infestation; On the other hand, a mouse marrying a woman is a product of the belief in the mother god of the child mouse in the culture. Rat is the first of the twelve branches, "the child is the cathode, hidden and obscure, with the rat." The child mouse is a symbol of extreme Yin, and the lunar month to the first month, it is the alternating moment of the new and old years, so choose this time to marry the mouse, but also has the old and new, send Yin Ying Yang, remove the disaster
