Yusheng (鱼生) is a customary Lunar New Year dish, traditionally served on the 7th day of Chinese New Year, known locally in Singapore as Renri (人日). Renri means “every man’s birthday” with people becoming a year older on this day. In the past, yusheng was only eaten on renri, however these days it is normal for a family to eat yusheng numerous times throughout the New Year period and it is usually served at the start of every meal.

As the Chinese meaning of yusheng represents raw fish, salmon is the focal point of the dish and is served uncooked and cold alongside other ingredients. Arranged on a very large circular plate, an important feature of the dish, Yusheng (鱼生) is one of the most colourful cuisines of all Chinese New Year food. It is made up of shredded carrot, green and white shredded radish, pickled ginger, crushed peanuts, pomelo, cinnamon, pepper, golden pillow crackers and is accompanied by a variety of condiments.

The present Qi Cai Yu Sheng (七彩鱼生) or seven-coloured raw fish salad was developed by four master chefs from Singapore in the 1960s who were inspired by the Cantonese tradition of consuming raw fish strips during Chinese New Year. The chefs added new ingredients and entwined symbolic significance into the dish and presentation. Yusheng has become iconic in Singapore remaining unchanged for 5 decades, recently gaining popularity in Malaysia and other Chinese communities. For modern day convenience, many supermarkets have introduced ready-made yusheng kits to be brought home for consumption that strictly maintain the traditional ingredients.

Hello! I was wondering if I could have a cloud themed stimboard? Light blues, whites and creams, silvers, that sort of vibe. Thank you!

Starting off with the piece in my icon! Seems fitting.

I've gotten really into pottery this year -- it's the impetus for this blog, to be honest -- and while I won't be posting only pottery here, that's definitely likely to be the bulk of what I talk about. Because I'm very into it, and because I'm having a lot of fun with it and reasonably proud of most of the stuff I make, and because it's a hobby that produces a whole lot of physical objects.

This is one of the first pieces I made this summer, and the first one I was really satisfied with. Sure, it's got some wobbles and flaws, but I like the shape and I love how the design came out. I had grass/wheat designs in mind early on, but I tried the colored slip + sgraffito on a whim and a teacher's suggestion.

Renri (人日) is the 7th day of Zhengyue (正月), the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar. According to Chinese customs, Renri was the day human beings were created. It is celebrated not only in China, but also in the surrounding region influenced by Chinese culture. In Chinese mythology, Nuwa (女娲) was the goddess who created the world. She created the animals on different days, and human beings on the seventh day after the creation of the world. And the seventh day of Zhengyue is viewed as the common "birthday" of all human beings.

The custom of having Yusheng (鱼生) on the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, also known as Renri (人日), was brought to Singapore with the migration of Cantonese and Teochew people from China in the 19th century. It is believed that the Chinese from Jiangmen, Guangdong province, were the first to start selling the dish in Singapore, which comprised raw fish slices tossed with ginger slices, spring onion, coriander, sesame seeds, lime juice and oil.

Today’s ritual of eating yusheng or Prosperity Toss during Chinese New Year involves all the people at the table tossing the salad and uttering auspicious phrases. The dish is deemed auspicious because of the homonymic meanings behind its ingredients, which suggest blessings and good fortune for the new year: yu is a homonym for “fish” and “abundance”, while sheng means both “raw” and “life”. Together, yusheng implies “abundance of wealth and long life”. In the Cantonese dialect, the dish is known as Lohei (捞起), where lo implies “tossing up good fortune” and hei means “to rise”, again a reference to a prosperous business and thus its popularity with businessmen during the new year celebrations.
