What's so particular about the twelfth day of the first month?
Don't move scissors on the twelfth day of the first month. People think that if you don't hear the click of scissors on this day, you won't hear them for a whole year, and there will be no mice.
On the twelfth day of the first month, we also pay attention to eating jiaozi and millet porridge, which is euphemistically called eating mouse eyes. Other families eat ducks on the twelfth day of the first month. Marriage is forbidden here.
In some areas in the south of Shijiazhuang, people still keep the custom of roasting cypress fire on the twelfth day of the first month (some on the tenth day of the first month). At dusk, people light cypress branches in front of their homes, and the smoke is filled with a fragrance. A family sat around the fire, saying: roast cypress fire, roast mouse fire, roast centenary fire (cypress is commonly known as centenary fire).
