Renri (Chinese:, Wade-Giles: Jen2-jih4, literally ''Human Day'') refers specially to the 7th day of ''zhengyue'' (正月, the first month in the Chinese calendar). According to Chinese customs, ''renri'' was the day human beings were created. It is celebrated not only in China, but also other regions influenced by Chinese culture. ==Origin== According to ''Questions and Answers on Rites and Customs'' () by Dong Xun in Jin Dynasty, the days on which different animals were created are: :First of ''zhengyue'' : Chicken :Second of ''zhengyue'' : Dog :Third of ''zhengyue'' : Boar :Fourth of ''zhengyue'' : Sheep :Fifth of ''zhengyue'' : Cow :Sixth of ''zhengyue'' : Horse :Seventh of ''zhengyue'' : Human. By ''Book of Divinationan'' (),an earlier of publication by Dongfang Suo in Western Han Dynasty, on the eighth of ''zhengyue'' was the creation of cereal. Hence, Chinese tradition set the first day of ''zhengyue'' as the "birthday" of chicken, the second day of ''zhengyue'' as the birthday of dog, etc. And the seventh day of ''zhengyue'' is viewed as the common "birthday" of all human beings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
