It is said that "eating seven" comes from "doing seven", which is unlucky! "Eat seven times" refers to people wolfing down or mocking others' mouths. This sentence originally came from "Do Seven".

It is recorded in "Guangdong New Language": "My funeral in Guangdong ended on July 7 after I died on the seventh day. 」

In many places (especially Yi and Lisu areas), relatives and friends are treated to food and drinks on July 7th, so they are called "eating seven meals". However, now that we are traveling back to the mainland, local tour guides usually order eight dishes instead of seven when ordering for us in restaurants.
