Why do Hong Kong and Taiwan call women "March 8th Festival"?
"March 8th" is the standard "provincial curse" in Taiwan Province Province, which means "this woman is frivolous, reckless, crazy and not serious enough". Mr. Zhu, who has been studying China proverbs for forty years, found the source of the word "March 8th" in the article "Special Colors of Etiquette and Custom in Taiwan Province Province". The article points out that vulgarity refers to being blunt in nature, doing things in the opposite direction, saying "March 8" and telling people that there are prostitutes in the north, who are beautiful and rude, and people call them Zhang Ba. Kou Zhongyu (that is, Kou Zhun) asked for poems (when Song Taizong entered the customs), and Yeyun gave poems: You were born in the North Island, Zhang Ba, and I am familiar with Wei San, Xizhou. It's not surprising that you didn't laugh before, and you haven't known each other long. The popular saying seems to be based on this. March 8 is the ranking of Wei San Zhang Ba.
There is another saying: Before the Opium War, in 1930s, Guangzhou was an important port city, and the 8th,18th and 28th of each month were the days when the British were allowed to enter the city for trading, so people who did nothing but do good things met to see the March 8th Festival. In this way, 38 originally refers to ghosts, not women. It's said that in Hong Kong and Macao, it's the Eight Bitches, not the so-called three old ladies. It seems that this has become another word destroyed by Chinese people.
