Shantou University Girls' Day The source of China Girls' Day: Japanese Girls' Day.

In Japan, March 3rd is the happiest day for girls every year, because it is the traditional "Girls' Day" in Japan.

Girls' Day is also called Peach Blossom Festival. In the past, Girls' Day was celebrated on March 3 of the old calendar (about one month later than March 3 of the Gregorian calendar), when peach blossoms were in full bloom, hence the name.

It is a tradition to set up a doll rack at home to celebrate girls' day. On this day, all families with girls will set up a ladder-shaped doll rack in the living room and put all kinds of dolls (dolls) wearing Japanese kimonos on it to celebrate the healthy growth of girls.

Some of these dolls are made by themselves and some are bought. Whenever a girl is born in Japan, her parents, grandparents, relatives and friends will give her a set of exquisite and beautiful dolls. A set of dolls, generally 15, has an emperor and a queen, three ladies-in-waiting, five musicians, two ministers and three guards. These little dolls have different postures and are lifelike.

Nowadays Japanese girls usually don't wear kimono (traditional Japanese clothing). But on Girls' Day, they all wear beautiful kimonos and invite their closest partners. Everyone sat around the doll rack, laughing and playing, and celebrating the festival happily.

In today's China, because many girls are dissatisfied with the inherent need to celebrate Women's Day at a young age, "Girls' Day" was first born in some science universities where girls are valued for their scarcity, and gradually spread to other schools. Because different schools have different views and enthusiasm, some schools' Girls' Day refers to a certain day, such as March 7, and Girls' Day is March 7. Because March 8 is Women's Day, girls are younger than women, so March 7 is set. Show that girls precede women; In other schools, Girls' Day is a period ranging from a few days to more than a month. For example, the Girls' Day of Guangdong University of Technology, which has a long history, is the third week of each year 1 1 and lasts for a whole week.
