《搜神记·卷六》
老鼠，是偷窃小动物，它总是夜里出来，白天隐藏。现在在光天化日之下离开洞穴而爬上树木，象征着地位卑贱的人将占据高贵显赫的位置。
鼠盗窃小虫，夜出，昼匿，今正昼去穴而登木，象贱人将居贵显之占。
A mouse is an animal that steals food from other animals. It always comes out at night and hides during the day. Now it leaves its hole and climbs up trees in broad daylight, which symbolizes that the humble people will occupy noble and prominent positions.
