Origin 1: from Guangzhou Women's Day

In 1991, Guangdong Institute of technology, the predecessor of Guangdong University of technology, was born in the specific environment of more men than women in engineering colleges. With the purpose of "caring for women", the women's Day was set to be the third in November every year, which led women to pay attention to their ideological quality, moral cultivation, cultural connotation, professional ability, mental health and other comprehensive quality improvement by carrying out high-grade and high-style humanistic activities It will be held for one week.

Since then, there has been a women's day. According to a popular saying, 'girls and women are only one day away', we all call March 7, the day before March 8, 'girls' Day'

3、 Valentine's Day derivatives

Chinese Valentine's Day (the seventh day of the seventh lunar month) and Western Valentine's Day (the 14th February of each year) are both winter and summer holidays, and the most indispensable thing on campus is love, so girls' Day was born. On this day, boys express their love to girls who have been deeply in love for a long time, or boys celebrate holidays for girls, looking for girls who can make themselves moved.

Time for girls' Day

Many colleges and universities are on March 7, while some colleges and universities are a week or even a month. The opening of the girls' Day is the third week of November and the time is one week.

Foreign girls' Day

In foreign countries, in addition to women's day, some countries also have girls' festivals, such as: Japanese girls' Day

In Japan, March 3 is the happiest day for girls every year, because it is the traditional Japanese 'girls' Day'. Girls' Day is also called Peach Blossom Festival. In the past, girl's Day was on March 3 of the old calendar (about a month later than March 3 of the Gregorian calendar), when peach blossom was in full bloom, so it was named. It's a traditional celebration of girls' day to set up a frame at home. On this day, every family with girls will set up a ladder shaped frame for dolls in Japanese kimonos in the living room to celebrate the healthy growth of girls. These little puppets are made and bought by themselves. As long as a girl is born in a Japanese family, her parents, grandparents or relatives and friends will send her a set of exquisite and beautiful dolls. A set of puppets, generally 15, including the emperor and empress, 3 palace ladies, 5 musicians, 2 ministers and 3 guards. These little puppets have different postures and are lifelike. Today's Japanese girls usually don't wear kimonos. But on girl's day, they all wear beautiful kimonos and invite their closest friends to sit in front of our frame, laugh, play and enjoy the festival.
