The third day of the Chinese New Year, also known as the "Pig Day." Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the traditional belief has been that the first day of the New Year is the "Rooster Day," the second day is the "Dog Day," the third day is the "Pig Day," the fourth day is the "Sheep Day," the fifth day is the "Ox Day," the sixth day is the "Horse Day," and the seventh day is the "Man Day." The Chinese folk legend holds that this is because when Nuwa, the creator of all things, made the creatures, she first made the six domestic animals and then the humans. Therefore, from the first to the sixth day, it is the day of the six domestic animals. The "Great Year" refers to the New Year. It is generally believed that it starts from the last day of the year (New Year's Eve) and ends on the Fifteenth Day of the First Month (Lantern Festival). There is also a saying among the people: "Dumplings on the first day, noodles on the second, and 'hezi' on the third." It is clear that on the third day of the New Year, there is a custom to eat 'hezi,' a type of Chinese pastry. 'Hezi' is a popular type of noodle dish in northern China, especially in Beijing and Tianjin.
