The chosen day is the Gregorian date of 11\/11. It is also called \u53cc\u5341\u4e00 (shu\u0101ng sh\u00edy\u012b, literally means \u201ca pair of elevens\u201d).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u5149\u68cd\u8282\u4e8e1990\u5e74\u4ee3\u8bde\u751f\u4e8e\u5357\u5927\uff0c\u968f\u540e\u4f20\u64ad\u5230\u5404\u5730\u5927\u5b66\u3002<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gu\u0101ngg\u00f9n ji\u00e9 y\u00fa 1990 ni\u00e1nd\u00e0i d\u00e0nsh\u0113ng y\u00fa n\u00e1nd\u00e0, su\u00edh\u00f2u chu\u00e1nb\u00f2 d\u00e0o g\u00e8d\u00ec d\u00e0xu\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>China Singles\u2019 Day was generated in the 90\u2019s in Nanjing University, and soon after<\/p>\n<p>was spread to universities around the country.<\/p>\n<p>Every holiday has its traditional dish.

Alibaba, which started the mercantile bonanza in 2009, hosted a lavish gala in Shanghai last year, with celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, to help count down the moments before releasing their Singles\u2019 Day deals.
