Pay attention to the 23rd day of the first lunar month.

On the 23rd day of the first month, don't let cattle and horses work, let them rest at home. People in places where "Cattle Festival" is celebrated think that cattle should rest on this day, and they should not eat slaughtered cattle or beef. There is also a folk proverb called "On the 23rd day of the first month, cattle and horses have a day off", and there is a saying in another area that after the 23rd day of the first month, spring ploughing will begin immediately. On this day, cattle and horses have to take a day off to recharge their batteries and plough the fields and pray for a bumper harvest. The 23rd day of the first month is also the "festival of the ox", which originated from the legend of "the elixir saves lives".

As the saying goes, "a hundred miles of different customs, a hundred miles of different winds." Every traditional folk custom has a meaning endowed by the local people. Although there are different opinions, they all hope for prosperity in the future.
