1: Nantah Sleeping Club
There are many explanations about the origin of Singles Day. It is widely accepted that it originated from the dormitory culture of Nanjing University. In 1993, four senior students in the dormitory of Nanjing University held a "lie-down talk" every night. For a period of time, the theme of the lie-down talk was to discuss how to get rid of the bachelor state. In the lie-down talk, they came up with the idea of organizing activities with the upcoming November 11th as
Singles Day. Since then, Singles Day has gradually developed into a kind of campus fun culture in Nanjing universities and even universities around the world. As a group of students bid farewell to the campus, this festival has been gradually brought into the society. With the huge group of adult single men and women, as well as the spread of group activities and online media, Singles Day has become popular in the society, and it has developed into a "naked festival". Other accounts of the origin of Singles Day were later fabricated.
2: Love Story
The hero Mu Guangkun was born on November 11th, 197. Because of the special name, the nickname is "bachelor" from elementary school to university. He started a love affair with a girl when he was a sophomore in Nantah. I just didn't expect that happiness was so short-lived, and the girl suddenly found out that she was terminally ill and eventually passed away. On the day she left, Mu Guangkun ran to the top floor, lit candles and played the flute all night. Since then, Mu Guangkun seems to be a different person. On November 11th, his senior year, which was also his birthday, his roommates were drinking with him on the roof of the First Dormitory of Nantah to celebrate his birthday. Since then, the story about Mu Guangkun has spread in Nantah, and his birthday has been designated as "Singles Day". This story was later adapted into a campus microfilm by NTU students.
Third: Jinggong Singles' Day
It may originate from the "Jinggong Singles' Day" of Beijing Institute of Technology. This statement means that the statement of "Singles Day" originated from Beijing Institute of Technology in 1992. In order to pass the coming weekend, several students came up with the idea of getting together with girls. The next day, a poster with the words "Jinggong Singles Day" was posted at the entrance of the canteen.
Four: Mahjong
According to the legend, there are four men, all of whom are bachelors, that is, those who have no wife, girlfriend, lover or so-and-so partner. They get together to play mahjong. From 11 am to 11 pm. Winning or losing is secondary. Strangely, in the process of rubbing hemp, no matter who plays cards, touches himself or receives guns, it is all with four. So from beginning to end, there are four, four, four. Finally, someone who lost a lot got angry and said, four, four, four what? The other three said, four is four, and four is what.
four what? This was not a problem at first. In mahjong tiles, four is four, and there is nothing to talk about. However, after playing mahjong, they went to take a shower together and took off their clothes and pants, and the answer came out soon. The man who lost money was very excited and cheered at the water's edge. I know four things, I know four things!
Later, these four bachelors set this as Singles' Day in memory of finally knowing what the four are. As luck would have it, this day happened to be November 11th. On the calendar, it was just right, no more, no less, that is, four ...
It is said that all bachelors have to eat candied haws on that day and eat them all at once. This is called "naked", otherwise, they will remain bachelors next year.
