Interesting enough, the Single's Day's date clearly symbolizes the day with all ones (four ones) from the eleventh day of the eleventh month 11.11. Single's day in Chinese is referred to as "GuānggùnJié光棍节". The significance of this day is for singles to celebrate and socialize at hosted events, festivals, parties, shopping quarters, bars, and etc.
What also makes this holiday seem fresh and appealing is that 11.11 in China kind of has two separate elements that represents the day. One aspect is the single guys and girls enjoying their single life, joining singles parties and meeting up with other singles for potential dating prospects, and the other is spending the day looking for amazing deals.
During this shopping festival there are some Chinese expression you might hear in shops or see on market signs and WeChat friend circles.
买买买 mǎimǎimǎi – This expression will be uttered by an eager shopper that see something they want to buy. Something they must have. It will be said three times to emphasize their desire.
剁手党 duòshǒudǎng – This word is to describe an online shopaholic. For instance, someone who does a lot of e-shopping, buys tons of items off Taobao, or simply likes to shop for amusement.
吃土chītǔ – Means you don't have much money or you're so poor you're only able to eat dirt, figuratively speaking.
