Festival source
Heaven and man originated from ancient creation myths and legends in China. The order of God's creation is: 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 human being. "On the seventh day, people were created. The seventh day is Man's Day, which symbolizes the origin of mankind. Because the first six days represented the birthday of animals, they were forgotten after a long time, but the seventh day was consciously preserved because it was related to humans. "
