Features: This book starts with the zodiac sign of the mouse and explores the myths of "the mouse gnawing open the sky" and "the mouse's wedding" as its central themes, intertwining the characteristics of the mouse as an animal with those of the mouse as a cultural symbol. It delves into the significant role of this small and unattractive animal in human life through activities such as avoiding, driving away, and courting mice. The book contains a wealth of interesting myths, legends, and folkloric materials, many of which are previously unpublished and highly valuable. The author's research on the myth of the mouse's wedding is particularly unique.
