The first month is also Li ah, the first three or four days of the first month of the year is: "Little New Year's Eve". The lyrics:?
The third day of the first month of the year is also known as the small New Year's Day, also known as the Red Dog Day, as an ancient Chinese traditional festival, according to legend, this day Nvwa created the pig. Chinese folklore is the night of the third day of the first year is the day of the mouse to marry, so the general family are early lights out to sleep, so as not to disturb the rats (some people also say that into the night early lights out is to make the mouse can not see, can not marry, in order to reduce the rate of its reproduction), and in the corner of the house sprinkled with some rice grains, cakes for the mouse to eat, known as the mouse to share the money, said and the mouse **** to enjoy a year of bountiful harvests.
Chinese folk to the first three days of the first month for the birthday of the grain, this day to pray for the year, and forbidden to eat rice.
Chinese folklore also said that the third night is "the rat married" day, so the general family are early lights out to sleep, so as not to disturb the rats (some people say that into the night early lights out in order to let the rats can not see, can not marry to reduce the rate of its reproduction), and in the corner of the house sprinkled with some rice grains, cakes for the rats to eat, known as the "rats share of the money," said and the rats **** to enjoy a year of bumper harvests!
The source of the story of "the mouse marrying" may be because the third is a red dog day, all things are not appropriate, in order to avoid the evil, so for the early bedtime excuse; Moreover, from the New Year to the first and second have been busy for a while, if you do not rest earlier, I am afraid that will be physically unsuccessful, unable to finish the rest of the act; as for the New Year's ballad said: "the first early, the second early, the first three sleep a full," that is to say, not only is the third but a red dog day, and a few days in a row, but also a few days in a row, the third is not only a red dog day, but also a red dog day, and a few days in a row. The Chinese New Year rhyme says, "The first day of the year is early, the second day of the year is early, the third day of the year is full of sleep", which means that the third day of the year is not only the day of the red dog, but also the busyness of a few days in a row, to the third day of the year, finally come to an end, you can get up a little bit later, to make up for the sleep of the first two days, to maintain health.
