First, the subject of the festival: mainly young, unmarried girls. Due to the vigorous development and in-depth advancement of China's higher education, women's educational level has continued to improve, and their consciousness of subjectivity and gender equality have gradually awakened. In an era of rich and colorful material and spiritual life, college students pay more attention to their own social group image than any other group or in the past. They require self-expression and individuality, and they must keep up with the development of the times to satisfy their own gender value needs. Contemporary female college students are in a period of expressing their individuality and self-expression. They do not want to be 38 or 38, nor do they want to be women. So they created their own Girls' Day. In their eyes, 37 is a more refreshing holiday to show individuality and break away from the traditional Women's Day. As the influence of Girls' Day expands, women in society gradually join in. Girls’ Day is not only a festival for little girls, but also a festival for them. Celebrating Girls’ Day does not mean rejecting growth, but rather appreciating maturity while retaining the innocence and vitality of young girls.

Second, holiday symbols: banners, slogans, activities. Swiss linguist Saussure believed that a symbol is a binary relationship, including the signifier (symbol form) and the signified (symbol content), and their combination becomes a symbol. Therefore, the essence of symbols is the expression of meaning. Symbols can convey other meanings in different cultural backgrounds rather than themselves. Typical ritual symbols of Girls' Day are banners, slogans and various organized activities. Girls' Day has spread to many university campuses. In this festival that cares for college girls and shows their style, many schools will organize various activities to create a unique Girls' Day. Ladies: Wish you good luck and drink more hot water! Every year from January to March 7th, as long as the girl is not a gay (school name) girl, my mother will only designate her daughter-in-law! No matter who your woman is in the future, she will always be our goddess. Banners such as this express the concern of boys for girls and the new interactive relationship between young men and women.

Third, festival representation: unique campus culture. On college campuses, Girls' Day is mainly celebrated by boys for girls, as a way to express their care and love for girls. Gradually, celebrating Girls' Day has become a symbol of youth, fashion and individuality, helping young people to display their charm and relieve stress, and also provides a platform for male and female students to interact on university campuses.

The festival activities on Girls' Day are rich and colorful, including women's film screenings, competitions on girls' style, etiquette, and clothing, beauty, makeup, and body lectures, fun sports meetings, game activities, rose presentations, wish-making activities, psychology and physiology lectures for female college students, and female college students' psychology and physiology lectures. The launch of a series of activities such as love counseling, campus girls' drama performances, women's basketball games, and girls' safety prevention knowledge competitions have integrated professional learning and campus cultural activities, demonstrated the youthful style of contemporary college students, enriched campus life, and promoted The construction of a harmonious campus.
