What are the customs on the tenth day of the first lunar month?

1. On the stone's birthday , all stone tools such as grinders and mills cannot be used, and even sacrifices to stones are not allowed, for fear of damaging crops. It is also called "the immovable stone" and "the ten immovable stones". According to Henan custom, every family burns incense to pay tribute to the stone on this day. In places like Yuncheng, Shandong, there is a custom of carrying stone gods.
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.
2. It is an old folk belief to congratulate the mouse on his daughter’s wedding . 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.
However, in some places, people are forbidden to light lights or talk at night, so as not to disturb the wedding and offend the Rat God, causing trouble for the whole year. In some areas, people are accustomed to using grain flour to make steamed food, which is called "Shizituan". At night, it is placed in holes in corners of walls for mice to eat. 3. 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. Such practice was a big matter related to the inheritance at that time. The elder in the village who was responsible for recording the family tree would record the name of the newcomer, and from then on he would have a status in the clan.
4. Lantern Wine: On the tenth day of the first lunar month every year, families who gave birth to boys in the previous year will 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. If there are many families in the village who need to hang lanterns and there is no place to hang them in the community temple, they have to set up another lantern shed.
5. Eat oat noodles. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, there is a custom in the Mongolian and Shanxi regions of eating oat noodles to celebrate the wedding of mice. According to folk tradition, this day is also known as "Rat Wedding Day". Eating oat noodles is to please the Rat God and pray for good luck in the new year.
