Origins
Singles' Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles' Day because the date consists of four "ones". Each one symbolizes an individual who is standing alone.
光棍節發源於90年代的江蘇省會南京的各所大學，光棍節定於11月11日是由於這一天的日期由四個“一”組成。每個“一”都暗示了一個單身的人。
These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
這批大學生畢業後就把學校的傳統帶到了社會中，自此光棍節流行於潮男潮女年輕人中間。
The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it's important that each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold "blind date" parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.
慶祝光棍節的常見的方式是朋友聚會，也有些人會在這天舉辦相親聚會，以藉機告別單身生活。但不管怎 樣，最重要的是在這一天秀出自己的獨立個性。。
Creative Celebration
For breakfast on Singles' Day, singles often eat four deep-fried dough sticks representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one steamed stuffed bun representing the middle dot.
廣大單身男女早餐通常會吃四根油條和一個包子來紀念這一特殊日子。
Some singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day: many attend "blind date" parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning "single",the four"nes" of the date can also mean "only one" as in "the only one for me". Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only "one" in their heart.
而很多人選擇在這天告別單身生活。有的人在這天參加相親聚會；有的選擇在這天結婚，因爲四個“一”同樣代表着“你是我的唯一”；還有的會在這天來一個“真情流露”
