Dai people living in Lahu Township, Milla, Jinping Miao, Yao and Dai Autonomous County still live a traditional festival-Men's Day. On the "Men's Day" on the 29th day of the first month of every year, the whole village celebrates by killing pigs and chickens, which is very lively.
According to legend, a long time ago, in order to resist the harassment and invasion of foreign enemies, the Dai people here went to the front line to defend the border against the enemy. By the time they defeated the foreign enemy and returned home in triumph, the most solemn and lively festival in the village had passed. In order to thank the brave and tenacious warriors who came back from the enemy, the whole village, men, women and children, under the leadership of the stockade master, greeted them with the noblest and most enthusiastic etiquette of the Dai people: greet the warriors with clean hometown water, wash their hair with rice washing water, help them comb their unkempt hair with barbed branches, and then prepare new year's supplies to make up for the men who came back from the enemy. This is the so-called "off-year". Because it is specially for men, it is also called "Men's Day". Since then, the Dai people in Jami Township have celebrated Men's Day on the 29th day of the first month after the Spring Festival every year.

The annual Tibetan calendar 1 1 to 15 is a unique and interesting festival for Kejia in Pulan County-Men's Day. The Kejia men from 18 to the oldest are regarded as gods. They all gather in the square at the entrance of Kejia Temple, drinking and watching plays, sitting comfortably on the mat, and women and children standing and watching until the end of Men's Day.
On Men's Day, the prestigious old people in the village set out to raise funds in advance and stipulated the quantity of rice flour, ghee, meat and firewood to be provided by each family. In the past, the poor had to give up because they couldn't afford food and grass, but now it's different. Everyone is celebrating their own festival. For a long time, there were 105 people in each family. Every day, women are assigned to pour drinks for men in turn. In this era, men are supreme. After the festival, men and women get along equally.

According to the survey results of the All-Russian Polling Center, many Russians think that February 23rd is Russia's "Men's Day".
February 23rd is Russia's "Defender of the Motherland Day". Since 2002, the Russian government has declared this day a national holiday.
Although the Russian government has never acknowledged the term "Men's Day", among the people, this festival, which originally belonged to soldiers, has become a festival for all men. On this day, women should congratulate men and give gifts, while men can enjoy life and drink as much as they like on their own festivals. Someone explained: "Because all men here have to perform military service, Army Day has become a festival for all men."
Last year, Russian state department stores were covered with posters of "Men's Day" to promote various commodities. The most popular gifts are not traditional men's products such as electric shavers or high-end ties, but men's perfume and men's skin care products.

"Men's Day" was originally the Army Day of Mongolia. 1921March 18, with the firm support of Soviet Russia, the "Mongolian People's Army" launched an attack on Russian troops (Gao) stationed in the trade city (now Chaktu), but was defeated because of its carelessness and underestimation. Part of the Russian troops who broke up went back to the mainland, and the other part went north to the northeast via China. As a result, Outer Mongolia, which was originally a part of China, took a crucial step towards independence. At that time, domestic warlords were fighting, and no one was willing to spare no effort to safeguard national unity. So in that year, the so-called "red hero" Sukhbaatao easily established a pro-Soviet and pro-Soviet "constitutional monarchy".
In order to commemorate the crucial day of Mongolia's independence, the later Mongolian government designated March 18 as "Army Day".
Because Mongolian soldiers are almost all men, I don't know when this "Army Day" became a "Men's Day". On the day of "Men's Day", men become a hot potato, and women in many units will chip in to invite men to dinner to make men's festivals full of happiness and happiness. It is a great pleasure for a woman to pour wine and pass cigarettes for a man and talk with him.
