According to custom, the traditional foods to be eaten on the seventh day of the first lunar month are: noodles, Qibao soup, pancakes, yusheng, Poon Choi, steamed buns, dumplings, etc.

1. Dumplings Dumplings are one of the most popular traditional delicacies in the north.

During festivals, dumplings can be considered a frequent guest on people’s tables.

Dumplings have a variety of fillings and look like ingots. Eating dumplings on the seventh day of the first lunar month has the implication of attracting wealth and good luck.

2. People in Shanxi Province have the custom of steaming people's buns for "seven days".

Depending on the number of people in the family, one steamed bun per person.

However, in some places, one more will be steamed in the hope that the family will have more children and a prosperous family.

Sometimes dates are placed on the steamed buns and coins are placed in one of the steamed buns. Whoever eats the dates or coins is a lucky person, and good luck will accompany them throughout the year.

3. Lao Yusheng Because in the south, "lao" means making money, and "raw" means high promotion, so on the "Man's Seventh Day", many places have the custom of eating raw fish slices.

The whole family gathers around the dinner table and eats while shouting: "Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it", which means you can make a lot of money, get rich, and get promoted step by step.

However, because raw fish can cause discomfort, we always make boiled fish or pickled fish.

4. Longevity noodles are thin and long noodles, which means that they can be used to wrap around the legs of the years and express the meaning of "longevity".

Therefore, everyone eats noodles on their birthday and regards them as longevity noodles.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, "Human Day" is the birthday of human beings, and noodles are eaten to express longevity.

And use this to pray for long life and prosperity for the men, women and children in the family.

5. Eating Poon Choi When "Ren Seven Days" comes, there is a custom of eating "Pon Choi" (also known as "Ren Ri Choi") in many areas of Guangdong.

Poon Choi is made by putting more than a dozen ingredients such as sea cucumber, abalone, oysters, and jellyfish skin into a pot and cooking them.

Because the ingredients of Poon Choi are rich, diverse and all-inclusive, Poon Choi is eaten on the seventh day of the first lunar month to pray for abundant food and clothing in the new year.
