When is 520 in history?

520 is not a special festival in history.

In fact, 520 refers to May 20th, which was not an important festival in ancient times. Generally speaking, Xiaoman comes on May 20th, May 2nd1Sunday and May 22nd, so according to the normal ancient calendar, 520 is a festival called Xiaoman.

But the special day of 520 was discovered by netizens, and it has another commemorative significance. It is said that many people found that Pan Jinlian poisoned Wu Dalang at 520 in the Water Margin, so many netizens joked that 520 was the anniversary of the poisoning of ancient Wu Dalang and the love between Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing, which was somewhat ridiculous. ?

520 is habitually called Valentine's Day on the Internet, because the annual May 20th, referred to as 520, is like a homonym of "I love you". There are many similar numbers on the Internet, such as 23 1, which means homophonic.

Of course, it was originally because of Mavis Fan that 520 became an online Valentine's Day. It is said that there was a song called "Digital Love" in Mavis Fan at that time, which was translated into "I love you" by 520, and Wu Yulong's song also linked it with online lovers, which eventually evolved into online Valentine's Day.
