What day is the tenth day of the first month? The custom of the tenth day of the first month.

The tenth day of the first month is the Stone Festival.

The 10th day of the first month is one of the traditional folk festivals in China, called the Stone Festival, which is the birthday of the Stone God. On this day, stone tools such as stones and grinders are not allowed to move, otherwise it will hurt crops. On this day, it is also forbidden to build houses with stones, and it is customary to burn incense to stones and provide pancakes at noon.

In other places, the custom of carrying a stone god is very popular: on the night of the ninth day, a crock was frozen on a smooth stone, and on the morning of the tenth day, ten girls or young men took turns carrying the crock. If the stone never falls, it indicates a bumper harvest in the new year; If a stone falls to the ground, it means that this year is not good. The tenth day of the first month is also called the rat wedding day, commonly known as the ten-finger marriage.
