The source of the seventh day of the first month

The seventh day of the first month is the "People's Day" in our traditional festivals, that is, "People's Birthday", which has a history of at least two thousand years in our country. Traditional folks in China call the seventh day People's Day, People's Victory Day or Seven-Yuan Festival.

According to Dong Fangshuo's "The Challenge Book" in the Han Dynasty, the eighth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of people and different livestock crops, followed by "one chicken, two dog, three pigs, four sheep, five cows, six horses, seven people and eight valleys"

Dong Xun of Jin Dynasty recorded that "the first day of the first month is a chicken, the second day is a dog, the third day is a pig, the fourth day is a sheep, the fifth day is a cow, the sixth day is a horse, and the seventh day is a man." ?

So every year, the first day of the first month is the birthday of chicken, the second day is the birthday of dog, the third day is the birthday of pig, the fourth day is the birthday of sheep, the fifth day is the birthday of cow, the sixth day is the birthday of horse, the seventh day is the birthday of man, the eighth day is the birthday of valley, and then the ninth day is the birthday of heaven and the tenth day is the birthday of earth.

It is said that Nu Wa made human beings, including chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows, horses and other animals in sequence, and made human beings on the seventh day, so the seventh day is a person's birthday. Therefore, traditional folk customs believe that the seventh day of the first month is people's birthday, commonly known as "People's Day".
