nóng lì农历zhēng yuè正月chū shí初十dào到le了。

The tenth day of the first lunar month has arrived.

zài在zhōng guó中国chuán tǒng传统wén huà文化zhōng中,shù zì数字“shí十”yǒu zhe有着fēi cháng非常tè shū特殊de的yì yì意义。

In traditional Chinese culture, the number 'ten' holds a very special meaning.

tā它de的zì xíng字形héng shù横竖xiāng jiāo相交,xiàng zhēng象征zhe着dōng nán xī běi东南西北gè gè各个fāng xiàng方向dōu都zhǔn bèi hǎo le准备好了,suǒ yǐ所以“shí十”dài biǎo代表zhe着yuán mǎn圆满hé和wán bèi完备。

Its character is formed by intersecting horizontal and vertical strokes, symbolizing that all directions—east, south, west, and north—are prepared, so 'ten' represents completeness and perfection.

zhèng正yīn wèi因为zhè yàng这样,mín jiān民间bǎ把zhè这yī tiān一天chēng wéi称为“shí quán shí měi十全十美rì日”,xī wàng希望zài在xīn新de的yī nián一年lǐ里shì shì事事shùn lì顺利。

Because of this, people call this day the 'Day of Perfection,' hoping that everything will go smoothly in the new year.

wèi shén me为什么zhēng yuè正月chū shí初十zhè me这么zhòng yào重要ne呢?

Why is the tenth day of the first lunar month so important?

mín sú民俗rèn wéi认为,chū jiǔ初九shì是“tiān rì天日”,ér而chū shí初十shì是“dì rì地日”,yě也jiù shì就是dà dì大地de的shēng rì生日。

Folk customs believe that the ninth day is the 'Day of Heaven,' and the tenth day is the 'Day of Earth,' which is the birthday of the earth.

tóng shí同时,zhè这yī tiān一天yě也bèi被chēng wéi称为“shí tou jié石头节”。

At the same time, this day is also called the 'Stone Festival.'

zài在gǔ rén古人kàn lái看来,shí tou石头shì是dà dì大地de的gǔ tou骨头,xiàng zhēng象征zhe着jiā yè家业wěn gù稳固。

In ancient times, stones were seen as the bones of the earth, symbolizing a stable family foundation.

wèi le为了biǎo shì表示duì对dà dì大地de的zūn zhòng尊重,zhè这yī tiān一天yǒu有hěn很duō多yǒu qù有趣de的jiǎng jiū讲究。

To show respect for the earth, there are many interesting customs on this day.

shǒu xiān首先,zài在chū shí初十zhè这yī tiān一天,dà jiā大家tōng cháng通常bú huì不会bān dòng搬动shí tou石头,yě也bú huì不会dòng tǔ动土。

First, on the tenth day, people usually do not move stones or disturb the soil.

wú lùn无论shì是jiā lǐ家里de的shí mò石磨hái shì还是shí jiù石臼,dōu都yào要ràng让tā men它们hǎo hǎo好好xiū xī休息。

Whether it is the stone mill or stone mortar at home, they should be allowed to rest well.

rén men人们xiāng xìn相信,zhǐ yǒu只有bǎo hù保护hǎo好dà dì大地de的wěn gù稳固,yī nián一年de的shēng huó生活cái néng才能píng ān平安。

People believe that only by protecting the earth's stability can life be safe throughout the year.

chú le除了bù不dòng动shí tou石头,bǎo chí保持xīn qíng心情yú kuài愉快yě也fēi cháng非常zhòng yào重要。

Besides not moving stones, keeping a happy mood is also very important.

chū shí初十jiǎng jiū讲究“hé qì和气”,dà jiā大家huì会tè bié特别zhù yì注意bù不hé和jiā rén家人chǎo jià吵架,yě也bù不shuō说bù hǎo不好tīng听de的huà话。

The tenth day emphasizes 'harmony'; people pay special attention to not quarrel with family members or say unpleasant words.

yòng用wēn hé温和de的yǔ qì语气shuō huà说话,cái néng才能bǎ把xīn nián新年de的fú qì福气liú zhù留住。

Speaking in a gentle tone helps keep the blessings of the new year.

lìng wài另外,zhēn xī珍惜liáng shí粮食yě也shì是zhè这yī tiān一天de的zhǔ tí主题。

Also, cherishing food is a theme of this day.

jì rán既然chū shí初十shì是dà dì大地de的shēng rì生日,ér而suǒ yǒu所有de的shí wù食物dōu都lái zì来自dà dì大地de的kuì zèng馈赠,nà me那么làng fèi浪费fàn cài饭菜jiù就huì会bèi被kàn zuò看作shì是bù不zūn zhòng尊重de的biǎo xiàn表现。

Since the tenth day is the earth's birthday and all food comes from the earth's gifts, wasting food is seen as a sign of disrespect.

dà jiā大家huì会tí xǐng提醒zì jǐ自己,zhēn xī珍惜měi每yī lì一粒mǐ米,jiù shì就是shǒu hù守护zì jǐ自己de的fú bào福报。

People remind themselves that cherishing every grain of rice is protecting their own blessings.

zuì hòu最后,chū shí初十bú yào不要zhěng tiān整天guān关zhe着mén门duǒ躲zài在wū屋lǐ里shuì jiào睡觉。

Finally, on the tenth day, people should not stay indoors all day with the doors closed, sleeping away the time.

rén men人们gǔ lì鼓励dǎ kāi打开chuāng hù窗户,ràng让yáng guāng阳光hé和xīn xiān新鲜kōng qì空气jìn lái进来,huò zhě或者chū mén出门zǒu走zǒu走,hé和lín jū邻居jiāo liú交流。

People encourage opening windows to let in sunlight and fresh air, or going out for a walk and chatting with neighbors.

rén qì人气wàng旺le了,jiā lǐ家里de的shēng huó生活yě也huì会gēn zhe跟着yuè lái yuè越来越hóng huǒ红火。

When the household is lively, life at home will become more prosperous.

zhēng yuè正月chū shí初十de的zhè xiē这些xí sú习俗,qí shí其实shì是rén men人们duì对zì rán自然de的jìng wèi敬畏,yě也shì是duì对xìng fú幸福shēng huó生活de的xiàng wǎng向往。
