Introduction: I believe everyone is familiar with Women's Day on March 8th every year, but do you understand its origin and the profound festive significance behind it? Each festival has a different time and represents different meanings. The reason why it has been passed down as a commemorative day depends on its own meaning. So what is the profound meaning of Women's Day? Let’s follow the editor to find out. Mr. Shui Mo summarized many festivals and solar terms in the second month of the lunar calendar to help people better understand how to face every day in February.The Origin of Women's DayInternational Working Women's Day (IWD) is the full name of "United Nations women's rights and international peace day". It is also known as "International Women's Day", "March 8th" and "March 8th Women's Day" in China. It is a holiday established on March 8th every year to celebrate the important contributions and great achievements made by women in the economic, political and social fields.Since the strike and march of working women in Chicago, USA on March 8, 1909, more than a hundred years have passed until the 21st century. The focus of celebration varies in different regions, ranging from general celebration of respect for women, celebration of love for women to celebration of women's achievements in economic, political and social fields. Since the holiday began as a political event initiated by socialist feminists, it has become integrated into the culture of many countries, mainly in Europe, including Russia. Women's DayInternational Women's Day is a testimony to the history made by women. The struggle women have taken to achieve equality with men is a long one. International Women's Day is a glorious festival for working women all over the world to unite and fight. On this day, women from all continents of the world, regardless of nationality, race, language, culture, economic and political differences, come together to focus on women's human rights. Since modern times, the United Nations' four global conferences have strengthened the international women's movement. With the growth of the international women's movement, Women's Day has acquired global significance. These developments make International Women's Day a day for solidarity and concerted efforts to demand the restitution of women's rights and their right to participate in political, economic and social life.Summary: Through the above article, we know the origin of Women's Day and the festive significance behind it.
