Traditionally, martisoare are worn throughout March, after which they are tied to the branches of a fruit-bearing tree. This act is believed to bring abundance (富足) to one’s home. People also believe that if you make a wish while tying martisoare on a tree, it will come true right away.

传统上，人们在整个三月都要佩戴martisoare，然后把它们绑在一棵结满果实的树上。人们相信这样能带来财富，而且那时许下的愿望也能很快实现。

My friends and I took some colorful lucky martisoare charms and set off in search of a beautiful tree. After a short walk, we found a flowering tree and began to carefully hang the martisoare on its branches. It was a wonderful experience watching the tree come to life with those little symbols of spring. The trees become real works of art, decorated with colorful charms that dance in the wind.

我和朋友们带了一些五颜六色的幸运martisoare护身符，出发去寻找一棵美丽的树。走了一小段路，我们发现了一棵开花的树，就开始小心翼翼地把martisoare挂在树枝上。看着这棵树带着那些象征春天的小符号苏醒过来，真是一种奇妙的经历。这些树变成了真正的艺术品，装饰着五彩缤纷的幸运符，在风中起舞。
