November 11, 2011 at 3:39 AMIt seems 光棍节 is turning into China's Black Friday. Every shop is having crazy mark downs to get single men and women spend money and celebrate themeselves.

November 10, 2011 at 3:04 AMMy take on yuezi is that the custom must have made sense hundreds of years ago when people didn't have running water and electricty. They probably had to go to the river to take a bath, which would be hard for someone who's just given birth. I also guess Chinese women typically had to work very hard all their lives taking care of children, parents, husbands and do farming as well. Yuezi was the only time of rest and peace for them. Of course to completely follow the old way of doing things is impractical and unnecessary. (There are indeed a lot of Chinese women who do shower and wash their hair during yuezi.) But people still honor the tradition, which is one of the few things that survived the tumultuous modern PRC history.
