Single's Day shopping carnivalor Double Eleven（Double 11 shopping carnival）Single's Day is an unofficial Festival, which is popular on the Internet and among the people.There are many opinions about its origin, and it is widely recognized that it originated from Nanjing University. In 1993,four senior students in Nanjing University held 「sleeping talk」 in the dormitory every night. The theme of the talk was to discuss how to get rid of the bachelor's state. They came up an idea to organize some activities on the upcoming November 11, named 「Single'sday」. The four ones in 11.11 symbolize 「bare branches」, a Chinese slang for bachelors. Since then the Single's Day gradually become an interesting campus culture in many universities. Many students confess feelings to that special one in heart on this day.With a group of students saying goodbye to the campus, this festival has been gradually brought into the society. Since about 2010, online retailers have transformed the holiday, also known as 「Double 11」,into an epic online shopping carnival similar to Cyber Monday inAmerica.光棍節是非官方節日，盛行於網絡及民間。關於它的來歷有多種說法，其中被廣為認可的是起源於南京大學。1993年，南京大學的四個大四學生每晚都在宿舍舉行「臥談」，臥談的主題都是討論如何擺脫光棍狀態，臥談中創想出把即將到來的11月11日作為「光棍節」來組織活動。11.11象徵著「光棍」，光棍是漢語中的俚語，代表單身人士。從此，光棍節逐漸發展成為大學裡的一種校園趣味文化。很多學生借這個日子打趣，在這一天向自己心儀的對象表白。隨著一批批學子告別校園，這個節日被漸漸帶入社會。大約在2010年之後，又稱「雙11」的光棍節，被網絡零售商轉變成了和美國的「網購禮拜一」相似的網購狂歡節。
