The origin of the 30 th social day on February 23 rd of the lunar calendar

For a long time in China's history, its social form was a typical traditional agricultural society. In such a social form, people have extremely deep feelings for the land. Although love is important, it must also be deified, so land has long been the object of people's sacrifice, called society; The key day of sacrifice is social day.

Compared with Spring Festival and Autumn Festival, Spring Festival has more activities. According to the fifth day after beginning of spring, the Spring Festival is generally around the second day of February, which is said to be the birthday of the land god, so the festival on this day is particularly grand. Yuan Jinglan's Wu Sui Jun Ji Hua Sheng recorded this custom in Suzhou:

February 2 is the birthday of the land god, and temples in the city have special shrines, where sacrifices are paid. In rural Tugu Temple, farmers also provide furniture to make wishes with pot pulp, while Li Shen, commonly known as Tiangong and Tianpo, was called Shegong and Shemu in ancient times. Social workers have no room and board, so it will rain on social day, which is called social worker rain. Giving money for meetings is called social money. Folding drums to pray for the New Year is called social drums. Drinking is a cure for deafness. Mixing rice with meat is called social rice. Fields will flourish, and society will make special sacrifices to pray for agriculture.
