Are there any folk stories about mice marrying women in woodblock New Year pictures?

When I was designing in a gift company in Shanghai, I once designed a series of gifts for the Year of the Rat. Here's the thing:

Marrying a mouse is a popular folk story. In the folk, it is said that the night of the third day of the first month is a big day for mice to get married, and they will hear the squeaking of mice. In order not to disturb the wedding of mice, they will try to turn off the lights and go to bed early that night, sprinkle some rice and salt, cakes and mice in the kitchen or the corner where mice often appear, and enjoy the joy of their wedding and the harvest of the year. These things are commonly known as "rice makeup" or "mice sharing money", and the folk customs of mice getting married are even more colorful. Not only in folk customs; Rat marriage stories, folk art and literature-related songs are all over the country. At the same time, New Year pictures, paper-cutting, embroidery, clay sculpture, batik, window grilles, etc. The theme of the mouse wedding is the preservation of auspicious patterns.

Story plot:

The folk story of "mice get married" is that long ago, a pair of mice gave birth to a daughter. They have loved her very much since childhood. When she grows up to be beautiful and well-behaved, they want to marry her to the greatest person in the world. But who is the greatest person in the world? They think that the sun that can shine on the earth is of course the greatest person! So they ran to the sun and said, Mr. Sun, we think you are the greatest person in the world, and we want to marry our daughter to you. Sun was frightened by this sudden problem and thought, how to get out of trouble? He used his quick wits to say, thank you for looking up to me, but I'm not the greatest person in the world. As long as the cloud comes, I will hide, so the cloud is better than me. They thought it was very reasonable, so they ran to ask Yun and said, Mr. Yun, we think you are the greatest person in the world, and we want to marry our daughter to you. Yun secretly complained about Sun's army. Yun also wanted to throw the hot potato out, and suddenly said, I am not the greatest person in the world. As long as the wind comes, I will be blown away. A little disappointed, Mr. and Mrs. Mouse ran to find the wind. The wind also secretly called Yun heartless and dragged him into the whirlpool, so he crustily defended himself and said: I am not a great man, because the wall can stop me, and the wall is the most remarkable.

For the sake of their daughter's lifelong happiness, the mouse couple had to hit a wall again. Wall knows how to inherit the style of character best, but he can't bear to be rejected and hurt, so he has a good heart and thinks of a way to kill two birds with one stone. He pretended to be the greatest person in the world and said, I am not the greatest person in the world. I'm afraid of you mice. Rats will make holes in me! They suddenly realized that I was the greatest mouse in the world! So I immediately went home and took the hydrangea to choose the mouse son-in-law Finally, on the third day of New Year's Eve, I chose a young and talented mouse as my son-in-law, married my baby daughter, and lived a happy life from then on. Because of the mercy of the wall, the mouse's marriage finally ended successfully. Also, for fear of disturbing the happy wedding of mice, we should go to bed early and get up late on the third day of the New Year, so the Chinese New Year ballad also says, "The first day is early, the second day is early, and the third day is full."
