有关资料记载,在江苏太仓县曾有皇家的大粮仓,常年囤积稻谷,以供“南粮北调”。粮多自然雀患频生,每年因雀患而损失了不少粮食。管理粮仓的官吏为了奖励捕雀护粮者,便以竹制的筹牌记捕雀数目,凭此发放酬金,这就是太仓的“护粮牌”。这种筹牌上刻著各种符号和数字,既可观赏,又可游戏,也可作兑取奖金的凭证。这种护粮牌,其玩法、符号和称谓术语无不与捕雀有关。
例如,“筒”的图案就是火药枪的横截面,“筒”即是枪筒,几筒则表示几支火药枪。“索”即“束”,是用细束绳串起来的雀鸟,所以“一索”的图案以鸟代表,几索就是几束鸟,奖金则是按鸟的多少计算的。“万”即是赏钱的单位,几万就是赏钱的数目。
此外“东南西北”为风向,故称“风”,火药枪射鸟应考虑风向。“中、白、发”:“中”即射中之意,故为红色;“白”即白板,放空炮;“发”即发放赏金,领赏发财。
麻将玩法的术语也与捕雀护粮有关。如“碰”即“彭”的枪声。又如成牌叫“糊”,“糊”“鹘”谐音,“鹘”是一种捕雀的鹰。除此还有“吃”、“杠”等术语也与捕鸟有关。那么为何又叫“麻将”呢?在太仓地方方言叫“麻雀”为“麻将”,打麻雀自然也就叫成打麻将了。

( 3 / 4206 )每年的2月2日是美国传统的土拨鼠日,在这一天,冬眠的土拨鼠要醒过来,从洞里出来预测春天。一般来说,土拨鼠要看自己的影子,如果看到影子了,就回洞里接着睡大觉去,因为春天还要再等6个星期才能到来,如果土拨鼠看不到自己的影子,就说明春天就要到了。
为什么要选择2月2日呢?因为这个日子来自“圣烛节(Candlemas)”,就是在圣诞节后第40天,这一天,天主教徒点起蜡烛来纪念圣母玛丽。这是个欧洲的传统,正如诗歌里唱的:

If Candlemas be fair and bright,
Winter has another flight.
If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,
Winter will not come again.
当德国移民在宾西法尼亚州定居以后,这些被称为Pennsylvania Dutch的人把这个传统带到了美国,预测春天的光荣任务就交给了美国的原住民“土拨鼠”。
一般来说2月2日这一天,土拨鼠从洞里出来,各大电视台都直播这一盛况,如果这一天是个好天气,土拨鼠就能看到自己的影子,按照传统的说法,如果2月2日阳光灿烂,那么以后6个星期天气会很糟糕,冬天还将延续。如果这一天天气不好,那么土拨鼠就看不到自己的影子,就说明春天到了。
美国官方的土拨鼠,或者说是政府认证的土拨鼠是宾州Punxsutawney的土拨鼠。
今年的官方土拨鼠

"As I look around me, a bright sky I see, and a shadow beside me.
Six more weeks of winter it will be!"
今年土拨鼠说:"还有六个星期的冬天!"
官方网站
There is a movie call <<Groundhog Day>>
中文叫 《偷天情缘》
在传统的土拨鼠日这一天,主人公陷入了一个偷天陷阱(这部片子的另一个译名),每当他第二天醒来,都是相同的一天:土拨鼠日。这永恒的一天中,永远都是相同的人与事。必然有一个人要在路上相遇,必然有一个人要被汽车撞死。在起初的一段痛不欲生的阶段之后,这个倒霉鬼发现自己即使四处捣乱被关进监狱,即使从十层楼顶跳下去,第二天清晨还是舒舒服服的躺在自己床上,开始又一个阳光灿烂的土拨鼠日。他开始大彻大悟:原来没有明天也就意味着一切行为都没有后果。没有明天也就意味着对于未来的全知全能。
