The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is commonly referred to as “Ren Ri” (the day of human),
because according to the legend, Nu Wa ( a Goddess in Chinese mythology who is believed to create the world and human beings) created human beings on the seventh day.
Legend has it that Nüwa created mankind because she felt lonely. She molded humans from clay into different shapes and sizes. Hand making humans became tiring, so Nüwa helped human learn about marriage; so human could reproduce themselves.
Therefore, the seventh lunar day of the year becomes everyone’s birthday.
And so it goes
