Today is the Twentieth Day of the Chinese New Year and is the day of 女娲再补天 or Nüwa Patched the Sky Again.
Legends has it that on the Twentieth Day of the Chinese New Year, a really big hole appeared in the sky and the Goddess 女娲 (Nüwa)补天 had to expend great efforts to patch up the hole in the sky.
As for the Tenth Day, on this day, in our family, we all eat 年糕 (niangao) to commemorate Her deeds.
