The basic positioning of Girls' Day
As one of the most representative and interesting cultures in the development process of colleges and universities, university education should not only teach students specific knowledge, but also use its own accumulated cultural traditions to cultivate students' humanistic quality. Respect for women, boys and girls are social builders and indispensable, so some representative and popular forms of activity culture have been forged. As the leading force of future social development, college students guide the change of the world pattern. Therefore, promoting a healthy and positive outlook on life and values plays a key role in the development of college students' lives. With the help of the university's own cultural traditions and humanistic spirit to cultivate students, it is not only conducive to improving students' sense of identity and belonging to university culture, but also conducive to cultivating students' sound personality and comprehensive quality, and adapting to the needs of cultivating high-quality talents for the all-round development of society. The power of university culture has deeply cast the vitality, creativity and appeal of universities.
Therefore, university culture is the soul of the quality, status and brand of a university education. In the new century, the status and role of culture as a kind of soft power in the competition of comprehensive national strength are becoming more and more prominent, and cultural construction has important strategic significance. University as a carrier of culture, university culture as a form of culture, with its unique conditions and unshirkable historical responsibility, stands at the forefront of building and disseminating China's advanced culture. Caring for girls, Girls' Day is also a distinctive campus culture slowly derived from Chinese universities. The main theme of Girls' Day is a kind of human care, which is positioned to promote culture in the development of universities.
White-collar workers join Girls' Day
The Women's Day in 2012 was coming soon, and many young women had joined the ranks of "but it's eight or seven" because they thought Women's Day was "old-fashioned".
"Although I am no longer a college student, and although I have a job, I still have a youthful and restless heart." Many young female white-collar workers said that "Girls' Day" should not be just for little girls, and little women can also celebrate "Girls' Day".
A male-to-female IT company at Goldman Sachs Science Park in Southtown has curated a creative "Girls' Day" where four women in the company write seven wishes or requests, and the 28 men in the company "draw lots" to complete whichever they catch.
Awen, from Jiangxi, said that people were not soft-hearted. Some of the requirements on the note were impossible tasks, such as "use your mouth to lick your toes"; others were pure tricks, such as running to the gate to deliver a bouquet of roses to the male security guard.

The significance of organizing Girls' Day
Girls' Day provides a platform for female college students to learn and exercise. Many college students believe that holding Girls' Day has far-reaching significance. It can not only enrich campus life, reflect the school's fashion of respecting and caring for girls, promote sincere exchanges between male and female students, and show students' youthful demeanor. It can also gain useful knowledge. In the 1990s, the China Women's Federation called on women to "self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-improvement." Some colleges and universities across the country responded to the call of the Women's Federation and held "Girls' Day" to provide a stage for college students to show their own image. Through a series of Girls' Day activities, many talents of girls were discovered. The activities were lively and interesting, but also had certain inspirational significance, and were unanimously welcomed by girls.
The more important significance of Girls' Day is to guide the majority of girls to pay more attention to their own moral cultivation, cultural connotation, mental health, calm self-confidence and other comprehensive qualities, to help girls see and examine themselves correctly, and to help girls walk the road of growth, success and success. They hope that this event will bring them some innovative and valuable gains, making the campus especially gorgeous because of the presence of girls.
The social value of Girls' Day
The birth of Girls' Day reflects the improvement of women's status in education, and also reflects the rise of women's social status. It is hard to imagine that there were celebrations of Girls' Day in the past. In the past, women's status in society was very low, especially in feudal society. In republican society, the situation has not been fundamentally improved: women are still discriminated against and oppressed by others. Even after liberation, society promoted equality between men and women, and women's status did improve a lot, but it was far from equal. However, after the reform and opening up, with the development of the social economy, the integration of traditional and foreign cultures has allowed more foreign cultures to penetrate into the minds of the Chinese people (at least, the idea of having a boy and a girl has sprouted and grown among people since the 1980s), causing people's ideas to continue to change (such as gentleman style).
There are more and more female college students in contemporary times, which used to be a very common thing in the past. And female master's students and doctoral students are more common, which reflects the improvement of women's educational status (the proportion of education) very prominently. The formation and growth of female students also fundamentally contributed to the formation of Girls' Day. The direct consequence of the improvement of women's education is the improvement of their social status, and the prosperity of business culture further promotes the improvement of women's social status. Nowadays, women's faces are not uncommon in senior leaders in all walks of life, whether in industry, commerce, entertainment, or education. Therefore, the status of women has been improved, and people's concepts are constantly changing. The "birth" of Girls' Day is also a matter of course.
The birth of Girls' Day reflects the development of higher education in China. As mentioned above, the improvement of women's status is closely related to the development of Chinese education, especially higher education. The continuous development of Chinese education has made more people have the opportunity to receive education and even higher education, and women have received unparalleled opportunities and substantive education in it, which directly leads to the rise of women's education level, which in turn enhances their social status. On the contrary, if women want to improve their status, they must first improve their own education level, which promotes the development of China's higher education from a certain perspective. In China's higher education institutions, the proportion of women is constantly increasing, and the increase in the number of female students has made the structure of college students more reasonable, and has also expanded and diversified the number of students. The intensification of learning competition and the formation of academic style are not unrelated to the increase in female students. Of course, the increase in female college students is not only the result of the development of higher education, but also related to their own efforts.
The birth of Girls' Day shows that Chinese women are struggling to change their destiny. In today's world, it is almost impossible for a person to change their destiny and improve their social status through normal means without receiving education. And if women want to change their status, they need to receive higher education. This requires competition, hard work, and we can often see that many women are very diligent in their studies, which is a corner of women's struggle in many aspects. Therefore, the birth of Girls' Day can be said to be the result of women's efforts being greatly rewarded.
Foreign festivals - Japanese Girls' Day
In foreign countries, in addition to Women's Day, some countries also have girls' festivals, such as Japan's Girls' Day.
In Japan, every year, March 3 is the happiest day for girls, because this day is the traditional Japanese "Girls' Day". Girls' Day is also called "Peach Blossom Day". Because in the past, Girls' Day was on March 3 of the old calendar (about one month later than March 3 of the Gregorian calendar), when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, hence the name. Setting up dolls at home is a traditional celebration of Girls' Day. On this day, families with girls will set up a stepped doll stand in the living room, on which various small dolls (dolls) wearing Japanese kimonos are placed to celebrate the healthy growth of girls. These dolls are made by themselves and bought by others. As long as a girl is born in Japan, her parents, grandparents or relatives and friends will give her a set of exquisite and beautiful little dolls. A set of dolls, usually 15, includes the emperor and empress, 3 court ladies, 5 musicians, 2 ministers and 3 guards. These dolls are different and lifelike. Japanese girls usually don't wear kimonos (traditional Japanese clothing). But on Girls' Day, they all wear beautiful kimonos and invite their closest friends to sit in front of the doll stand, chatting, laughing, playing, and celebrating the festival happily.
Girls Day
The Japanese have designated March 3 as a holiday for praying and blessing girls to thrive. It is also known as "Peach Blossom Festival" because it coincides with the blooming of peach blossoms. According to reports, "Girl's Day" has a history of more than 600 years in Japan. There is a habit of going to the river to "exile dolls". "Exile dolls" are quite similar to the ancient Chinese "" ceremony. The dolls and offerings dressed in red paper are placed on the dome, and then slowly released into the river, allowing them to drift away. Zhizi explained that the "exile dolls" hope that the dolls can float away with the pain and disaster in their place. He looked around, but he saw the dolls in the river everywhere, colorful and fluttering, like a leaf boat, carrying beautiful blessings and floating into the distance...
A "Girls' Day" makes people understand the value of family, friendship and health. More Japanese people learn to cherish happiness, create life and enjoy life through "Girls' Day".
