The arrival of the seventh day of the first month symbolizes the end of the Spring Festival holiday. The seventh day is also the time for everyone to start work, which is the first day of work. So what kind of traditional festival is the seventh day? What kind of traditional customs are there? Is there anything to pay attention to? Let's take a look together. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month

there are many stresses in the new year customs, and there are corresponding traditional customs almost every day. These folk customs symbolize people's longing for a better life and look forward to a smooth and prosperous life. According to traditional folklore, the seventh day of the first month is the birthday of human beings. According to legend, Nu Wa created animals such as chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep and cows before creating human beings on the seventh day, so this day is also called "People's Day".

the ancients believed in "the unity of heaven and man". Gao Shi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "People send Du Er's Addendum every day": This year, people will remember the sky, and next year, people will know where. In ancient times, the "People's Day Festival" on the seventh day of the first month not only had folk activities such as divination, celebration, sacrifice, eating noodles, climbing mountains and chanting poems to pray for Naji, but more importantly, it reflected the respect for "people" itself and added a layer of thoughts of missing relatives and friends. It was a very warm festival. Why do you want to eat noodles on the seventh day of the first month

In the tradition of China people, what you eat in various festivals is very particular. For example, you eat jiaozi on the first day of the first month and Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month, but you want to eat noodles on your birthday. Eating bowls of "longevity noodles" and "birthday noodles" makes your good days last a long time. Since the seventh day of the first month is "the birthday of mankind", eating noodles has become a holiday food on this day.

In the old days, people would make long and thin noodles to eat on the seventh day of the first lunar month. Thin is similar to "thin", while "thin" is homophonic with "longevity"

, so eating noodles on the seventh day of the first lunar month means to entangle the years with noodles, so as to achieve people's long-cherished wish that time will be slower.

It is also full of people's long-cherished wish to pray for health and longevity. In addition, some places think that the seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh days of the seventh lunar month are "People's Day", and many older generations regard the date of the seventh lunar month as a good day. Eating noodles in these days has the meaning of protecting people's health and longevity. Seven-dish soup or seven-dish porridge

China people always like to use auspicious food in the Lunar New Year, and they will eat seven-dish soup or seven-dish porridge on Human Day;

Seven-dish soup is a soup made of seven kinds of vegetables. People choose to eat it on a human day, hoping to get a good omen. In the traditional saying, eating seven-dish soup on a human day can eliminate evil spirits and cure all diseases. There is no fixed seven kinds of vegetables for the seven-dish soup, and the real estate is different, the materials are different and the intentions are different.

Seven dishes in Chaoshan, Guangdong: mustard, kale, leek, spring vegetables, celery, garlic and thick-petaled vegetables;

Seven dishes of Hakka soup: celery, garlic, onion, coriander, leek with fish, meat, etc.

Taiwan Province and Fujian seven vegetables soup: spinach, celery, onion and garlic, leek, mustard, shepherd's purse, Chinese cabbage, etc.

All kinds of dishes in the seven-dish soup can represent different meanings. For example, celery and onion mean wisdom, garlic means calculation, mustard means longevity, and Hakka people like to use fish with ulterior motives. Eating fish means eating more than enough. The funniest thing is that if someone is missing a few vegetables and goes to someone else's field to pick up seven pieces, he will not be treated as a thief that day. Fishing raw fish

Fishing raw fish, also known as colorful raw fish, is short for fishing, fishing raw fish or fishing raw fish ("fishing" means "mixing" in Cantonese). Fishing on People's Day is popular in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and there are also fishermen in Guangdong. On this day, they replace seven dishes of soup or seven dishes of porridge with raw fish.
