In memory of the development of Nu Wa's creation.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, it is also called "Everyone's Day". It is said that Nu Wa created the world from the beginning, and after creating animals such as chickens, dogs, pigs, cows and horses, she created people on the seventh day, so this day is the birthday of mankind.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the traditional view is that the first day of the first month is rooster day, the second day is dog day, the third day is pig day, the fourth day is sheep day, the fifth day is ox day, the sixth day is horse day and the seventh day is human day. Legend has it that this is because when Nu Wa created everything, she created six animals first and then people, so the first day to the sixth day is the day of six animals.

The origin of Man Day is related to the legendary story that Nu Wa creates a creature every day. According to the biography of Northern History Wei Shou, Dong Xun, a representative of Jin Dynasty, said in the custom of answering questions: "On the first day of the first month, you are a chicken, on the second day, you are a dog, on the third day, you are a pig, on the fourth day, you are a sheep, on the fifth day, you are a cow, on the sixth day, you are a horse and on the seventh day." It is added that the eighth day is Valley Day, the ninth day is Sunlight, and the tenth day is Earth Day.

After the Han and Wei Dynasties, People's Day gradually developed from a single divination activity to a festival including celebrations, sacrifices and other activities. In the Tang Dynasty, people still attached great importance to People's Day. There is a sad sentence in Gao Shi's poem "People send Toure to pick up the remains every day" that "this year people will remember each other, and next year people will know where it is". It is proved that the People's Day in the Tang Dynasty is not only dedicated to praying for good luck and wishing peace, but also adds an atmosphere of missing relatives and friends. Today, there are also wanderers who went home years ago and can't go to other places until after Everyone's Day. On People's Day, we don't travel far, visit relatives and friends, and get together at home. People usually eat long noodles in the afternoon, which is also called soul-pulling noodles. In other words, during the Chinese New Year, people are everywhere and their hearts are wild. At the end of the day, it is time to prepare for spring ploughing. So eat noodles, find your heart, and prepare for spring ploughing.

In ancient times, people had the custom of "men winning". Men's victory is a headdress, also called Cai Sheng and Watson. Since the Jin Dynasty, people cut the ribbon for flowers and people, or put gold foil on people's screens and put it on their hair. In addition, there is the custom of climbing high and writing poems. After the Tang Dynasty, more attention was paid to this festival. Every human day, the emperor would give his ministers a colorful victory, and they climbed up and gave a big banquet. If the weather is fine on the seventh day of the first month, the population will be safe and smooth in the first year. It is said that Nu Wa's birthday is on March 18 of the lunar calendar. Therefore, people from Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other provinces come to worship Nuwa every year from the first day to the eighteenth day, thus forming a far-reaching temple fair of Nuwa Palace, which has a history of more than 1000 years. Sacrificial activities are mainly to praise the merits of Nu Wa, the ancestor of human beings, to make people unearthed, to refine stones to make up the sky, to break feet, to erect four pillars, to control water, to marry and to make springs. The main contents include folk sacrifices, public sacrifices and sacrifices. The legend of Nuwa and its related folk customs, such as marriage, childbirth, life etiquette and festivals, constitute a peculiar folk cultural phenomenon.

"Nu Wa Festival" is one of the five ancestor worship ceremonies in China, and it was listed as the first national intangible cultural heritage in 2006. There is a sculpture of a goddess mending the sky in Xihua County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. Shaped like a goddess who fills the sky, he raises colored stones with both hands and stares up at the sky, which means that the goddess fills the sky.

There is a modern sculpture of Nuwa in Qilidun Triangle Garden, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. The shape is a goddess mending the sky, and human children are around the base, which means that Nu Wa made people (see Google Earth in Qilidun Triangle Garden, Tianshui City, Gansu Province for details).
