What festival is the seventh day of the first month?

On the seventh day of the first month, it is said that this day is the birthday of mankind, that is, the birthday of human beings. People once called this day "People's Day", "People's Day" or "People's Victory Day". Folklore experts said that "Men's Day" reflected the desire of working people in ancient China to pray for Naji and peace, and their respect for "man" itself.

In ancient times, there was a custom of wearing "male victory" on "Men's Day". "Mansheng" is a kind of headdress, also called "color victory" and "Hua victory". Since the Jin Dynasty, people cut the ribbon for flowers, cut the ribbon for people, or carved gold foil for people to stick on screens or windows and wear in their hair. Therefore, "Full Day" is also called "Full Victory Festival".

People's Day is also a day for ladies to travel and literati to climb mountains and write poems. The Tang poem "People send the day to pick up the remains" says: "People send the day of poetry to the thatched cottage, pity the old friends and miss their hometown. Wicker can't bear to see, plum blossoms are full of branches and heartbroken. Being in the south, I have no experience, and my heart is full of worries. This year, people will remember each other. Next year, where will people know? "

In most places, there is also the custom of eating jiaozi on this day, which means wrapping the legs of years with jiaozi in order to live longer.
