3. What festival is14?

3. 14 is daylight.

The origin is as follows:

Legend has it that white day originated from Japanese folk: in Japan, if someone receives a lover's gift from the opposite sex on February 14 to express their love and has the same affection or affection for the other person, they will return the lover's gift to the other person on March 14, indicating that they are soul mates this year. So they designated March 14 as "white day".

According to textual research, white day was first born in 1977, initiated by Shi Cun Wanshengtang, a dessert manufacturer in Bode District, Fukuoka City, Japan, in order to advocate that recipients should return gifts to each other as a means to promote candy. This festival was originally called "Candy Giving Day". Since 1980, the candy used for candy is white, so it was renamed "Day". This is the origin of the meaning of day.

Soon, chocolate manufacturers found that they could also benefit from this festival, so they also began to promote white chocolate. Now, on this day, there are other gifts besides candy and white chocolate.

Therefore, white day also calls it back etiquette, which means that if you receive a gift on Valentine's Day, you can give it back on March 14 a month later, and of course only give it to the person who wants it back.
