Happy 人日 (Ren Ri)

As the Lunar New Year festivities continue to unfold, we arrive at a significant milestone: Ren Ri, the seventh day of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Today, we commemorate the creation of mankind according to Chinese mythology—a day of reflection, gratitude, and communal feasting. Join us as we delve into the traditions of Ren Ri and explore the symbolism of seafood in bringing prosperity and abundance to this auspicious occasion.

Ren Ri: Honouring Creation and Togetherness Ren Ri, or “Human Day,” holds a special place in Chinese culture, marking the creation of humanity by the Goddess Nuwa. Legend has it that on this day, Nuwa sculpted mankind from clay, breathing life into them and granting them the gift of companionship. As we celebrate Ren Ri, we honor the spirit of creation, gratitude, and togetherness that defines this auspicious day.

A Symbol of Prosperity and Harmony In Chinese culinary tradition, seafood has long been revered for its symbolism of prosperity, abundance, and harmony. As families come together to share a bountiful feast on Ren Ri, seafood takes center stage on the dining table. Join us at Goodearth Gourmet and enjoy a bowl of our seafood soup and celebrate the blessings and good fortune for the New Year.
