❂ Salad ❂
According to Chinese legend, the goddess Nu Wa spent six days creating animals out of mud, while on the seventh she created humanity.
Ren Ri, the Day of Humankind, is correspondingly celebrated on the seventh day of Chinese New Year. To celebrate this day, the Chinese hence enjoy a special dish comprising seven symbolic delicacies, which we know as Yu Sheng.

When we eat Yu Sheng, the ritual is to toss the mixed ingredients high in the air with a shout of “Loh Hey!” and other auspicious wishes. This literally means to “move upwards”, a symbol for our fortune to rise and expand in this new year. This is why we stand up and toss the ingredients together. The higher, the better!
Yu Sheng usually comprises strips of raw fish (commonly salmon), shredded vegetables and other ingredients which are mixed together thoroughly when the dish is eaten. The taste of the dish is enhanced by its special sauce which imparts a distinctive flavour. It is symbolic of good luck, prosperity, health and all things auspicious.
