Today is March 14th which is White Valentine's Day. White is regarded as naive, pure, spiritual in European countries, just like Westerners will wear white wedding dress when they get married. Gradually, "white" represents hope and happiness, which is blessing to lovers. This has become one of the most important source for the coming White Valentine's Day. White Valentine's Day is popular in Japan, Taiwan and other regions. What we know about it is a continuation of the Western Valentine's day. There are big differences in giving gifts between those two Valentines' day: in Chinese mainland, England, America and Canada, the boy will send a gift to the girl on February 14th, Valentine's day. Most of the gifts are roses or chocolates. In Japan and Taiwan, the situation is opposite. In Japan, usually the female would like to express her love to her lover and would send gifts to the male on Valentine's Day (February 14th). And the male will return gifts and tells the girl his love on March 14th. Of course, he will only send gifts to the one he would like to. In some places of Asia, the young people will celebrate this festival, too. All the lovers, enjoy your day! |
