What does five twenty mean?
May 20th is nothing special in Japan, but because of the homophonic "I love you", it has been given a romantic meaning by some people in recent years, and it has become a "confession day" with quite a market. On the occasion of the annual "520", friends circle and QQ group are all kinds of show love, and those who choose to register for marriage on this day are even more impressive and spectacular.
Getting married on May 20, the so-called "Love Expression Day", is just to win a good title. In fact, it is similar to 13 14, which is endowed with the meaning of "lifetime", that is, artificially and subjectively injecting love into an originally ordinary day, that is, making an originally unremarkable day full of love and warmth.
Extended data:
"Homophonic" means "words have the same or similar phonology", and some people think that homophonic "is a rhetorical way to arouse people's association by using the homophonic or near-homophonic relationship of words". There are three kinds of new words produced by replacing the original words with homophones or near homophones:
The first category is homophonic words based on Chinese characters, including homophonic words in Mandarin, such as "refill (comparison), pear (pressure) and so on. Dialect words are homophonic words such as "blue thin (uncomfortable), mushroom (want to cry), gray machine (airplane)", "sauce purple (like this), you made it (do you know)" and so on.
The second is English-based homophonic words, such as "3Q (thank you), CU (goodbye), fans, shopping" and so on;
Third, new words composed of digital homophones, such as "520 (I love you), 13 14 (for life)" and so on.
