Thanks to the revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, a special Tree Planting Day was established in China in 1981, in which every adult resident of the country is obliged to take part. This man fought, among other things, for greening the country - on his initiative, residents of the PRC organized actions to plant green spaces. Since then, it has been established at the legislative level that any citizen from 11 to 60 years of age is obliged to plant at least three trees a year.

The name of the day partly comes from the name of St. Procopius Decapolitus, revered by the Orthodox Church on this date. Residents of Prokop Perezimny tried to postpone long-distance travel. When going out on a sleigh, there was a risk that the snow would finally turn into water, and it would be impossible to get back. In general, the day of Prokop Perezimny was devoted to household work. Residents prepared tools for field work and took out seeds for planting. In the evening we heated the bathhouse and took a steam bath.
