Legend has it that when Nuwa first created the world, after creating animals such as chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows, horses, etc., she created humans on the seventh day, so this day is mankind’s birthday. The custom of Human Day began in the Han Dynasty and began to be taken seriously after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In ancient times, there was a custom of wearing "Rensheng" on Human Day. Rensheng is a kind of headdress, also called Caisheng or Huasheng. Since the Jin Dynasty, people have cut ribbons into flowers, people, or gold foil into people to paste on screens, and also wear it on their hair. In addition, there is a custom of climbing high places and writing poems.Customs of the seventh day of the first lunar month:Wearing a human figure <br /> During the Human Day Festival, Han women use colored paper, silk, soft gold and silver to make a human figure and wear it on their heads. It is also pasted on screens and other places.Flower Gift <br /> On this day, people make various flower gifts (human-like gifts with flower shapes) and give them to each other. Eat Seven Treasures Soup <br /> During the Human Day Festival, people use seven kinds of fresh seasonal vegetables and rice flour to make a soup, which is called "Seven Treasures Soup". Traveling and climbing mountains <br /> The Human Day Festival is also a day for ladies to travel and for scholars to climb mountains and write poems. Tang Gao Shi's poem "On the Day of the New Year, I Sent to Du Ershiyi" says: I wrote a poem on the Human Day and sent it to Caotang, expressing my sympathy for my old friend who misses his hometown. I can’t bear to look at the willow branches turning pale, and I’m heartbroken by the plum blossoms filling the branches. I have encountered nothing in Nanban, and my heart is filled with worries and concerns. This year's People's Day is just a memory, but who knows where will it be next year?" Weighing <br /> In some places, on birthdays, men, women, young and old all weigh themselves on a scale. Since it is a person's birthday, it is natural to be concerned about the person's physical condition. Lo Hei <br /> In some areas of the south, people have the custom of "Lo Hei" during the Human Day Festival. When making Lo Hei, many people often gather around a table, pour the fish, ingredients and sauces into a large plate, and everyone stands up, waving chopsticks to stir the fish ingredients, and constantly shouting: "Lo! Lo! Fortune! Fortune!", and the scoop should be higher and higher to show that they will rise step by step. |
