February 11th - In the Chinese creation myth, Nüwa (goddess of creation) became lonely, and so for company she created a different animal every day. She created people out of the yellow earth on the 7th day. So even now, this is the day when all Chinese people get one year older. This is why people often have two ages, the one they tell you (according to the lunar calendar) and the one on their ID card (Gregorian calendar).
