China is a major economic powerhouse in innovation and technology. Many American companies have outsourced to China to improve their profits. Although China has its own economic laws and holidays, many Americans don’t know about Singles Day. Although it sounds odd, it is an integral part of Chinese culture. Let’s find out what it all means!

Many people feel sad that they are single. We don’t think this is a bad thing. Singleness allows you to focus on your own needs. They often remind us that we must learn to love ourselves before we can love others. Singleness allows you to be focused on the one.

This is something we should celebrate and not be ashamed of, and that’s precisely what the Chinese do. It was created to allow people to celebrate their singleness. This day is celebrated all over the globe.

Singles Day is an ancient Chinese holiday. It was created by Nanjing University as a celebration of singles in the 1990’s. Four “ones” represent four singles, and the date corresponds to them. Because four college students from the same university decided to celebrate being single, it was originally known as Bachelor’s Day.

The idea was adopted by many universities, and then became mainstream culture. It has become something that both men and women can appreciate. It is a day when people get together and socialize, and it has become one of China’s most popular shopping days.

Alibaba Group, a multi-national e-commerce conglomerate that operates in manufacturing and retail, made more than $25 billion in 2017. This surpasses the 2016 record of $17.6 million. This event is four-times the size of America’s largest shopping days, Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

The Chinese economy views shopping as a source for wealth and entertainment. According to Forbes.com, Alibaba claimed that more than 15 million products from over 140,000 brands participated during the holiday in 2017. 60,000 international brands also offered discounts on Tmall (a company owned by Alibaba), which saw its sales increase from 100,000 last year. Alibaba launched JD.com, a luxury online retail site, and opened its first automated, robot-managed warehouse, to ease the transition from the intense sales.

Singles Day is a great day to enjoy many traditions. You and your single friends could go on a “date” to celebrate independence and self-love. You can also go out to eat or watch a movie. You have the freedom to choose! There is no reason to feel restricted because you aren’t in a relationship. You can go out to eat or do the same things as a partner. You are your best friend, after all.

You can also celebrate by creating an appreciation list. Who are you grateful to? You, of course! Post a list of everything you love about yourself and make sure it is public.
