  • It is known to all that Valentine’s Day is on February 14th, while another similar day called White Day is celebrated1 a month later. It is said that the day originated in the Roman Empire. A young couple was executed for breaking the rule, the emperor saved the couple on February 14th. Then a month later, the couple decided2 to stay together forever, so people named this day the White Day to in honor of the eternal relationship. White Day first get popular in Japan, in order to attract more customers, the manufacturers advocate the meaning of White Day. As a result, more and more young people buy chocolates and flowers then give them to the one they love. What’s more, the color white means pure emotion, the same with wedding dress.

    众所周知,2月14日是情人节,而另一个同类型节日——白色情人节则在一个月后庆祝。据说这个节日起源于罗马帝国。一对年轻的情侣由于违反规定被执行死刑,皇帝在2月14日拯救了这对情侣。一个月后,这对情侣决定永远在一起,所以人们把这一天叫做白色情人节来纪念这样永久的关系。制造商为了吸引更多的顾客宣扬白色情人节的含义,因而白色情人节开始在日本流行。因此,越来越多的年轻人买巧克力和鲜花给他们所爱之人。更重要的是,白色意味着纯粹的情感,和婚纱一样。
