春节习俗：大年初三老鼠嫁女儿
今天是农历正月初三。在忙碌了两天的探访和接待客人之后，中国人可以休息一下。
Actually, it is considered an unlucky day to have guests or go visiting. People will go to rest earlier at night and get up late in the morning.
事实上，有客人或去拜访都被认为是不吉利的一天。人们晚上会早睡早起。
The folklore is the 3rd day is for rat marriage day ( 老鼠娶亲). So people will restrict night activities in order to give ratstime for their wedding.
民间传说第三天是老鼠结婚日。所以人们会限制夜间活动，以便为婚礼提供时间。
On the third day, an old saying goes: "A fat pig at the door", meaning the arrival of good luck and happiness.
初三，有一句俗语“肥猪拱门”，预示着好运和幸福的到来。
Traditionally, the third day is known as "Chigou's Day". Chigou literally means "red dog", an epithet of "the God of Blazing Wrath", and it is considered an unlucky day to have guests or go visiting.
初三还有一个传统俗称是“赤狗日”。赤狗的意思是红色的狗，是熛怒之神的绰号，因此人们认为这一天不宜接客或出访。
