大年初十:祭石感恩
The 10th day is believed to be the birthday of the God of Stone which played a very important role in the agricultural society of ancient China.
初十被认为是石头神的生日,在古代中国的农业社会占有非常重要的地位。
On this day, people are forbidden to move any stone, including stone rollers, stone mills1 and herb grinders, and should not cut into a mountain for rock or build a house with rocks, otherwise bad things will happen to the crops.
这一天切忌移动石头,包括石碾、石磨、研磨器具等等,也不能开山采石或用岩石建房子,否则这年庄稼就会遭殃。
People also burn incense2 and candles for the stones and offer pancake to the God of Stone.
人们还会焚香、点蜡烛以供奉石头,向石头神上贡烤饼。
