#竹酔日 — Public Fediverse posts

In China the birthday of the bamboo 'tree' falls on the 13th day of 5th month, which is known as 'Bamboo Intoxication Day' (竹酔日). Bamboo is said to be a tricky grass to transplant and so it was thought best to do it when the bamboo was drunk (celebrating its birthday).

even if it does not rain
they plant on bamboo planting day-
a mino-raincoat and a rain-hat
降らずとも
竹植る日は
蓑と笠
-Matsuo Bashō (松尾芭蕉).

It was believed that bamboo planted on the 13th day of the 5th month would flourish. In China this day was known as 'Chikusuijitsu' (竹酔日).
