According to Chinese tradition, the seventh day of the first month of the lunar year (i.e. today) is regarded as the date for everyone’s birthday, also known as the “Human Victory Festival”, “Human Day,” “People” and “People on the 7th”. It is said that Creation legend Nu Wa came to the world to create the animals, such as dogs and pigs and cows…etc, to create people in the seventh day, so this day is the birthday of mankind.

Chinese people traditionally prefer foods which symbolize good luck in the Lunar New Year, in the seventh day, they normally enjoy eating rice with sort of soup which is made of seven vegetables in order to get rid of evils and heal the diseases. (Source: Wikipedia)
