The Seventh Day of the Chinese New Year

The following is a description of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year from Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year

"Seventh day

The seventh day, traditionally known as renri 人日, the common man's birthday, the day when everyone grows one year older. It is the day when tossed raw fish salad, yusheng, is eaten. This is a custom primarily among the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia and Singapore. People get together to toss the colourful salad and make wishes for continued wealth and prosperity.

For many Chinese Buddhists, this is another day to avoid meat, the seventh day commemorating the birth of Sakra, lord of the devas in Buddhist cosmology who is analogous to the Jade Emperor."

This is the first time I have heard of the term "yusheng," not to mention how to prepare it.

What a wonderful world! Myriads of new things to explore.
