the origin of festivals
August 8th Festival
Men's Day
The origin of "August 8th Festival" is related to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. On August 8, 1945, during the period of China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, some patriots in Shanghai launched "Father's Day" to celebrate and commemorate the fathers who died for their country on the battlefield. This idea immediately received a positive response from Shanghai residents. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the government designated August 8 every year as Father's Day and ordered the whole country to observe it. Father's Day is scheduled for August 8th every year, because "August 8th" has the same sound as "Dad" and the word "August 8th" is just like a "father" after being linked in the form. Since then, August 8th has become China's Father's Day, also known as "August 8th Festival" or "Father's Day".
Section 83
"Men all over the world unite-celebrate a festival". August 3rd will be the first real Men's Day in China proposed by Thin Horse. On this day, more than 5 enterprises will give their male employees a day off to celebrate.
211 Men's Day
[1] "According to the results of opinion polls, most people think August 3rd is an ideal Men's Day. This happens to correspond to International Women's Day on March 8, which has certain significance and embodies the theme that men need decompression and care. " In the coffee-scented "Fashion" meeting room in Beijing COFCO Plaza, the 39-year-old thin horse, editor-in-chief of "Fashion Men's Wear", explained his proposed "Men's Day" cause with a serious expression, while his clothes and body language conveyed a fashionable and relaxed message casually. Just like the concise LOGO pattern of "Men's Day", in a closed and meticulous circle, a profile of a man with a comfortable mouth outlined by lines is loosely connected to an electric plug, which means "Men are not plugged in today", symbolizing that men are completely relaxed.
Reasons for establishment
1. Release male pressure and promote physical and mental health. The establishment of "83 Men's Day" is definitely an improvement in concept. The word "male" of a man, with the word "field" above and the word "strength" below, just shows that a man is a person who works and runs around outside. From ancient times to the present, men have appeared in the image of hard-working and hard-working. In our traditional culture, men should "cultivate themselves, keep the family in order, govern the country and level the world". Men are given too much pressure and can only be the image of the strong, and there is no room for showing weakness. In today's society, the mountains of buying a house, medical care and children's education make people, especially men, a snail with a heavy shell. Some surveys have found an interesting phenomenon: the probability of men coquetry at home far exceeds that of their wives and children. That is to say, it is very likely that all adult men in the world are more vulnerable and need comfort than women or even children. No wonder Andy Lau's "It's not a crime for men to cry" will cause countless men to sing! Set up Men's Day to liberate men from the body of the strong, so that the affected men have a space to vent their indulgence, be a real flesh-and-blood man, and promote the healthy development of men's body and mind. In fact, the regional male crisis, including Japan and Taiwan Province, is fully reflected in the rising suicide death rate and the depressed population. China has a population of nearly 7 million men, accounting for about a quarter of the global total. If it causes physical and mental health problems or endangers social security, it means that it will not only be a national problem. We must face up to the present situation, pay attention to the situation of male gender roles and advocate the promotion of work, and setting up a men's day is a useful attempt. 2. Pay attention to men's rights and ensure gender equality. Not only that, but we also need to see the reality: while we are trying to carry out the "anti-sexual harassment" legislation on women's rights protection, have we seen that the cases of men being abused and sexually harassed by women are also increasing rapidly? In recent years, women's federations in various provinces and cities have received more and more complaints in this regard, and relevant news has long been common in the media. Some places have been "forced" to set up "male care lines", which reflects only the tip of the iceberg. Because men are hindered by traditional face, they can't "talk about things" and there is no "men's association" to make them complain with confidence. Domestic violence is no longer the traditional pattern of "women are the weak". Men, also very hurt. Ignoring such realistic problems and the increasingly equal situation of men and women in today's society, of course, it is impossible to calmly consider the establishment of men's day. 3. Strengthen emotional communication and build a harmonious family. Just as festivals such as Women's Day, Children's Day and Youth Day attract corresponding attention, Men's Day should become a festival that the whole society cares for men. If there is Men's Day, women can give their husbands a chance to relax and care for their husbands, and tell him through their care: "In fact, my family and I have been thanking you for your hard work." This is a psychological comfort and spiritual enjoyment for men, but also a rare emotional exchange between husband and wife, which is essential for family harmony and emotional consolidation. 4. Stimulate the holiday economy and stimulate domestic consumption. The influence of festival economy is undeniable, especially in today's financial crisis and the urgent need of stimulating domestic demand to promote economic development. We see that regardless of Women's Day or any other festivals, merchants will help create an atmosphere, which is both a discount and a discount. If there is a Men's Day, the merchants will immediately put up the corresponding holiday cards to create a festive atmosphere. At this time, men will proudly accompany their girlfriends (wives) to go shopping happily, which is not only relaxed and harmonious, but also promotes economic development. Why not? In Russia, February 23rd is "Defender's Day of the Motherland" every year. Since 22, this day has become a national legal holiday in Russia. Today, this festival, which originally belonged only to Russian soldiers, has been extended to all Russian men. Although the Russian government has never recognized the saying of "Men's Day", it has become a common practice among the people. All Russian men can rightfully regard this day as their own festival: from time to time, ladies can hear songs on demand for their husbands, fathers and brothers on the radio, and electric razors, high-grade ties and wallets in shopping malls have also become the best-selling goods. Think about it, ladies, if you give him a new Nokia mobile phone, maybe you can recycle a diamond necklace then, as an investment in March 8th! 5. Choose August 3rd, which is rich in connotation and easy to remember. The date of International Women's Day is March 8, and the date of "Men's Day" is just reversed, which is simple and easy to remember; Moreover, the connotation is corresponding, which has certain significance and embodies the theme that men need decompression and care as well. In similar online and folk surveys, the choice of dates is very colorful, and August 3 is the most popular. On August 3, 26, more than 5 enterprises in Shanghai responded to the initiative and gave their male employees a day off to celebrate their "August 3 Men's Day", which was a gratifying progress. Men's Day is only the starting point of a series of topics about men. What is important is why we should care about the other half of the population equally. This is a more complicated and arduous historical task than the women's movement. To paraphrase a famous saying, "It is difficult to be a man, it is difficult to be a man, and it is difficult to be a man". May men cherish themselves and look forward to a bright future. Let us say with confidence: Why not apply for Men's Day?
