The Seven Herb Rice Porridge 七草粥

In the morning of January 7th, people eat this special porridge.
This is an image of 7 herbs on the bag. 

A book written in the ancient southeast China in the 6th century has a report that people made soup with seven herbs on 7th January. 6世紀中國南朝的著作『荊楚歳時記』說「正月七日為人日、以七種菜羹」。

  8. 🐰 我個人理解 : 「人日」即農歷正月初七; 原來日本風俗也有一月七日吃七草粥的習俗, 謝謝分享🙏
