On Women's Day, young women don't want to call themselves women or give up their holiday privileges. From then on, there was the nickname Goddess Day. The origin of this name may be the result of commercial speculation, or it may be a compliment to women. Later, March 7, the day before March 8, was called "Girls' Day", and some networks called it "Goddess Day".
The origin of women's day:
A series of women's movements originated in the early last century. With the rapid development of capitalist industry, the women's movement rose with the bourgeois revolution. The ideas of freedom, equality and natural human rights have played a positive role in promoting the women's movement. Advanced women began to break through the feudal shackles, go out of their homes and integrate into society, taking on the same jobs and roles as men.
The legend of the ancient Goddess Festival:
Goddess Day means that every household along the Qingjiang River prepares a banquet on the second day of August to offer sacrifices to the ancestor "Salt Goddess" of the chef. Legend has it that the goddess of salt invented salt for seasoning. Ten bowls with eight buckles. Mixed tastes and superb skills. Later, when the king found out, he asked him to cook the best dishes for the king. She seasoned it with salt water and cooked a sumptuous banquet for the king. After the king drank it, he repeatedly praised it.
A few days later, the king saw her collecting salt water in the Yanhe River and asked her what she was doing. She replied, I'll cook it for you with salt water. When the king heard this, he flew into a rage and said, "Sugar is delicious. Why do you want to taste me with salt?" The goddess of salt could not tell the truth and was killed by the king on the second day of August.
