In the Chinese folk zodiac, the individual very small mouse is the boss and sits in the top seat; while the cow with a large individual is the second oldest, which seems very unreasonable. When I was a child, I listened to my grandmother and there was a folk legend that at first, the Jade Emperor let his men set up twelve chairs and prepared to row twelve kinds of animals. Rats are nocturnal animals, and when they first make love, they report in advance and unceremoniously sit in the top seat. The cow thought that he was walking slowly, so he rushed to the night road early and came to report, but he came a step late and was preempted by the rats. The cow was not convinced, and said to the mouse: "You are not as big as my hooves, you dare to be the boss, you want to sit in the top seat, roll down, that is where I sit." The rat had a deep heart, did not argue with the cow, and did not dare to compete with the cow, so he said to the cow: "We both lie on the side of the road, and let the passers-by comment to see who is bigger, who will be the boss, and sit in the top seat." The old cow laughed and agreed. Unexpectedly, people are accustomed to seeing big cows, but rarely see big rats, and passers-by turn a blind eye to cows, but exclaim: "Such a big mouse!" The cattle had heard the people on the road say this, and although the boss was not convinced, he was willing to gamble and lose, so he had to recognize himself as the second oldest and no longer bothered with the rats. When I think about it, the little mouse has such self-confidence, but it is also rare.

Among the mouse paintings of the old man of Shiraishi, this scene is the most painted, the basic composition is oil lamp, red candle, the number of rats has increased or decreased, and some works will add melon fruits, butterflies, letters, etc. according to the scene. Qi Baishi's "Red Candle Rat Fun Map" in 1948 is the old collection of the famous collector An Siyuan, which has the inscription "Qi Baishi Mouse Steals Oil Map, Song Waterfall Luzang". At the time of the creation of this work, Qi Baishi was already eighty-eight years old, which belonged to his mature style. Three small mice and a candlestick are depicted. One of the little mice looked up, and the other two, one far away and one near, surrounded the lampstand. The whole picture is quite interesting, so that the viewer has a reverie of seeing the scene from the object. Old Man Shiraishi introduces rats and lampstands into the painting, revealing his simplicity and childlike innocence.

Hamster is a general term for the hamster subfamily. There are a total of 7 genera and 18 species, mainly distributed in Asia, a few distributed in Europe, of which China has three genera and eight species. With the exception of small hamsters distributed in Central Asia, other species of hamsters have buccal sacs on both cheeks, extending from the molar side to the shoulders. It can be used to temporarily store or carry food back to the hole for storage, so it is called hamster, also known as cheek mouse, moving hamster.
