Father's DayorBā bāDay (爸爸節),Bā Bāis Mandarin for "father" and "8-8", or August 8. (Mongolia,Taiwan)
In Taiwan and Mongolia, August 8 is celebrated as Father's Day (Bā Bà Day), playing on the Mandarin word for father and the date 8-8.
Bā Bà Day was first proposed in Taiwan as a pun on the Mandarin word for father ('bà') and the date 8/8.
Families celebrate by giving gifts, sharing meals, and expressing gratitude to fathers for their guidance and support.
In Mongolia, similar traditions have been adopted to honor paternal bonds and family unity.
The day highlights the role of fathers in East Asian cultures, emphasizing respect, filial piety, and family togetherness.
While less formal than Mother's Day, it has grown into a cherished occasion across both regions.
