The Birthday of All Mortals - Ren Ri (農曆正月初七-人日)

Start:     Feb 13, '07 12:00a
End:     Feb 13, '07 12:00a

The 7th Day of Lunar 1 Month is consider as the Birthday of All Mortals.

On this day, the Chinese will celebrate Ren Ri with Yu Sheng (魚生) - a dish invented by the Cantonese - known as Loh Hei (撈起).

Besides eating Yu Sheng, All Taoists are encouraged to visit Temples with Altars dedicated to Nv Wa (女媧), cos in myth, Nv Wa was the one who created All Mortals.

And so, during this joyous occasion, remember to pay gratitude to our "Ancient Mother" :P
