What does it mean that January 7th in the yellow calendar is a lucky day?

People in China call the seventh day "People's Day", "People's Victory Day" or "Seven Yuan Day". According to folklore, when Nu Wa created human beings, she created chickens, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses six days ago and created human beings on the seventh day. Therefore, the Han people think that the seventh day of the first month is "the birthday of mankind".

The ancients believed that the sun was shining on the seventh day of the first month, which meant a long life and a harmonious world. There is a saying in Dong Fangshuo's "The Challenge Book" in the Han Dynasty: "On the seventh day, from Dan to dusk, the moonlight is clear, and the stars are seen at night. The people are safe and the monarch and the minister will meet." It can be seen that the saying of "people's day" has been circulated at least in the Han Dynasty.

In ancient times, there was a custom of wearing "Men win" on "Men's Day". Mansheng is a kind of headdress, also called Caisheng and Huasheng. Since the Jin Dynasty, there have been ribbon-cutting flowers, ribbon-cutting people, or gold foil people sticking on screens or windows and wearing them in their hair. Therefore, "man's day" is also called "man wins the festival"

Luo said that in some places in China in the past, there were customs such as "lighting a lamp with hemp stalks", "cooking porridge with beans to cure headaches", "women walking around to eliminate all diseases" and "climbing mountains to write poems". But with the development of the times and social progress, most of these customs have disappeared.

At present, some areas in southern China still have the custom of "fishing for raw fish (similar to eating sashimi)", which means "the higher you catch, the higher you climb"; In northern China, fried rice is mixed with maltose and made into spherical or square food, which is called "ringing peace" and means "peace and happiness".
