Today is a traditional holiday. The mouse marries the bride. So why can't we move the scissors? Please gods

Said "keep the fire day", commonly known as the rat wedding day. This day to avoid moving scissors, eat dumplings at noon, commonly known as "pinch the mouth of the mouse". Adults will tell the children, no one can not move the clippers on this day, who moved the scissors, the family will attract rats, because the scissors cut things "click" sound, very similar to the sound of rats gnawing on household goods. Why eat dumplings? Maybe it is the dumplings and the mouse look similar to the reason, about pinching the mouse's mouth, it can not spoil the food, grain silo does not attract rats. On this day, the dumplings should be pinched tightly, avoiding opening the mouth to reveal the filling. Legend has it that this is the day of the rat's big day, the rat will be in the middle of the night after people are asleep, banging gongs and drums to bring the new daughter-in-law over. Small children do not know the reason, often believe that the truth, not sleep, to see a clear. Adults will take over the ancestors of the legend, said the children: to mouth with donkey dung eggs, ears stuffed with sheep dung eggs, eyelids clamped on the chicken poop piece in the sky full of stars, lying in the mill eye, in order to see the lively scene of the mouse marriage, hear the drums. So after dinner, children ran to the village mill to play, lying in the black hole of the mill to see if there are rats inside, the bold even put their hands into the mill, deliberately exclaimed: "Touch the rats!" You and I crowded, have reached out in the eye of the mill to feel. There were also some pussy children who peed in the eye of the mill, deliberately letting other children go and touch it, and the mouse did not touch it, but touched a handful of shame. In the mill room, in the dark, there were donkey dung in the mill road and the corners of the wall, and the children were so crowded that they accidentally stepped on the soft pile of donkey dung. The whole mill smelled like a mixture of flour and grass. Children can not stay up until midnight, are too sleepy to open their eyes, who cares about the mouse to marry or not to marry, greet each other, have to go home to sleep.
