When is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year in 2021?

February 21, 2021 in the Gregorian calendar is the tenth day of the first lunar month in the year of Xinchou [Year of the Ox], the Gengyin month, the Gengzi day, and the tenth day of the new year.
The first month of the Chinese lunar calendar is generally called the first month. The first month, also known as the first month of the year, the Duanyue, the Zouyue, the Liuyue, the Chuyue, the Jiayue, the Xinyue, and the Kaisui, is the first month of the year. The first day of the first lunar month is the traditional Chinese Spring Festival. We are accustomed to calling January the "first month". This is because in ancient times, the first month of each year was different in different dynasties. The Xia Dynasty took January as the first month, the Shang Dynasty took December as the first month, and the Zhou Dynasty took November as the first month. Every time these dynasties corrected the order of the months, they called the corrected month the "first month." In addition, the ancient emperors mostly accepted the worship of civil and military officials in January. In order to show solemnity and supremacy, they changed January to "the first month".
Taboos on the tenth day
1. It is forbidden to dig the ground on the tenth day, especially to use stone objects and tools, as well as stone tools such as mills, pestles, and rollers. Friends who are born in the years of the snake, tiger, pig, monkey or rat should be especially cautious.
2. It is forbidden to kill mice at home on the tenth day of the lunar month, especially those who are born in the Year of the Rat should be extra cautious.
3. Friends who are born in the Year of the Rat or the Year of the Horse should be cautious when getting engaged or married on this day, otherwise it may be detrimental to their relationship and marriage in the future.
4. Friends who are born in the Year of the Rat should not stay out all night on the tenth day of the lunar month, otherwise it will cause problems in their career and financial luck.

Are there any customs?

Stone Birthday
On this day, people avoid using stone tools and moving stones. Instead, they worship the millstone god, grinding god, mortar and pestle god, Taishan Stone God, etc. In the past, after pasting Spring Festival couplets on these stone tools on New Year's Eve, it was forbidden to use them before the tenth day of the first lunar month. After the tenth day of the first lunar month, you can open it and use it without any particular restrictions.
Congratulations to the Mouse on His Daughter's Wedding
An old folk belief. The rat worship activity held in the first month of the lunar year is also called "rat's daughter's wedding" or "rat's wedding". The specific date varies from place to place. Some are on the seventh day of the first lunar month, some are on the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, and in many areas it is on the tenth day of the first lunar month. On the tenth day, people in many places light lamps, burn incense and offer paper in the corners of houses, walls and water jars to celebrate the wedding of mice.
Hanging Lanterns
The lanterns hung on the tenth day are called "Adding a Son Lanterns". The name of the Tianding Lantern comes from the fact that the pronunciations of “deng” and “ding” in Cantonese are similar, and “tiandeng” means “adding a son”. In the past, in Zhu Village, if a baby boy was born in the village, the whole family would go to the altar of land and grain to hang lanterns on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Thoughtful elders will even write the name of the newlywed on the lantern.
Lantern wine
Every year on the tenth day of the first lunar month, families who gave birth to boys in the previous year would go to community temples and ancestral halls to hang lanterns. Lanterns are usually made of bamboo frames, covered with patterned paper, and written with auspicious riddles; oil lamps are lit inside the lanterns, which need to be refilled with oil every day.
Eat oat noodles
The tenth day of the first lunar month is the Manchu Tiancang Festival. On this day, the Manchu and Han people in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia pinch glutinous rice noodles into "small bowls" and steam them to eat, while the Manchu and Han people in the western part pinch oat noodles into "small bowls" and steam them to eat. Some Han people in the central and western Inner Mongolia call the tenth day of the first lunar month the Rat Wedding Festival.
