Eventhough it stated CNY cultural and Heritage celebration but according to Cheyenne's friend it is actually the celebration of renri?i'm not exactly sure but wtv it is i've decided to call it 'renri' from now on since 29th is really the seventh of zhengyue.This year is my second time attending this 'Renri' festival in Georgetown.This event is held yearly and usually in the month of February.What exactly is 'Renri'? 'Renri' also known as Human day refers specially to the 7th day of zhengyue.According to the chinese customs,renri was the day human beings were created.It is celebrated not only in China,but also other religions influenced by Chinese culture.The belief that each animal and human were created on different days :
First of zhengyue : chicken
Second of zhengyue : dog
Third of zhengyue : boar
Fourth of zhengyue : sheep
Fifth of zhengyue : cow
Sixth of zhengyue : dog
Seventh of zhengyue : human
Interesting isn't it?I might be a Christian and should not believe in all of these customs but i still find chinese cultures beautiful yet with a blend of tedious rules.To the bottom of everything,i am still a chinese and proud to be one(even if i do complain sometimes about ang mohs having a nicer skin tone,hair colour and eyes. =x)
