Why is March 7th Girls' Day?
Goddess Day was born in colleges and universities in 1990s, and it is one of the representative products of campus culture. Because March 8 is Women's Day, many young girls don't like women's names, so March 7, the day before, was designated as Goddess Day (also called Girls' Day).

It is said that every year on March 8th International Women's Day, college girls don't want to call themselves women, and they don't want to give up their holiday privileges. Therefore, according to the sentence "Daughter's Day is only one day away", March 7, the day before March 8, is called "Daughter's Day" and "Goddess's Day". However, Goddess Day is not limited to that day, and some universities will hold festivals for a week or even a month.
