By the eighth and ninth day of the Lunar New Year, city workers had to end their holidays and return to their posts. Likewise, in the countryside, it was time to press on with preparations for the farming season.

The work in the fields was set aside for now; if they couldn't get to it in time, they could just hire some help later.
