Happy Mother's Day
Mother's Day is a day to thank mothers. The modern Mother's Day originated in the United States and is the second Sunday in May every year. Mothers usually receive gifts on this day, carnations are regarded as flowers dedicated to mothers, and the mother flower in China is Hemerocallis.
Mother's Day originated in the United States. The initiator of this festival was Philadelphia native Anna Jarvis, a woman who never married and had no children. On May 9, 1906, Anna Jarvis's mother tragically passed away, and she was deeply saddened. On the anniversary of his mother's death the following year, Jarvis organized a memorial service for his mother and encouraged others to express their gratitude to their mothers in a similar way.

Mother's Day
Festivals are the crystallization and carrier of national culture. A large part of cultural memory is the memory of festivals. Years later, many past events have been forgotten, but the scene of the festival is still vivid in my mind. At the same time, festivals have the characteristics of extensive coverage, continuous repetition, and entertainment, and have a profound impact on people. Therefore, major human relations festivals are crucial to cultivating national spirit and cohesion. The real Mother's Day should be stuck in the heart to realize the love of a mother. Our Chinese Mother's Day advocates maternal love and mother education on the one hand and the love of a mother and filial piety on the other hand. Parents, on the other hand, who give life to their children, have an instinctive and selfless love for their children. The establishment of Chinese Mother's Day is to let the love of parents all over the world have a festival that is manifested and recognized seriously; let the filial piety of children all over the world have a festival that is awakened and expressed delicately.
Chinese traditional festivals are generally comprehensive, lacking individual prominent human relations themed festivals, such as Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and so on. In modern society, there is a need to express human relations. The traditional Chinese culture is moving towards self-consciousness, self-confidence, and self-improvement step by step, but there is still a long way to go. It needs more people of insight to jointly promote and make continuous efforts.
The Chinese nation has a long and splendid ethical civilization. It is a nation that attaches great importance to parent-child affection and benevolence and has produced many great and influential mother images. We should have our own Chinese Mother's Day, a Chinese Mother's Day full of the excellent cultural connotation and national spirit of the Chinese nation, not a foreign Mother's Day. This is the need for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Looking back at the history of the Chinese nation, Mencius' mother, the Clan, is the most prominent image of a virtuous mother in China. After Mencius lost his father at the age of three, she assumed full responsibility for educating Mencius. The stories of "Meng's mother moving three times" and "teaching her son after breaking the machine" have been passed down for more than 2,000 years. From the external environment of the child's growth to the internal laws of learning, she has noticed it and finally made the child a great tool, and she herself has become an educator. The mother model of children, known as "the mother teaches one person", is still passed down as Yifan in modern times. A menu can be used as the image representative of Chinese Mother's Day to show the mother's greatness and great maternal love, and inspire generations of mothers. To inspire love and filial piety as a son of man.
The birth of children is the beginning of motherhood. The Chinese Mother's Day with Meng's mother as the banner is selected on the day when Meng's mother gave birth to Mencius because on this day she became Meng's mother. Nowadays, some children only think about their own happiness when they celebrate their birthdays. In traditional virtues, birthdays should be grateful to their mothers. Therefore, birthdays are called "Mother's Day", or simply "Mother's Day". Setting Mencius' birthday as Mother's Day, represented by the image of Mother Meng, means that when celebrating his birthday, he should be grateful for his mother's grace and love.
Filial piety has always been an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and it is also the social and cultural psychological foundation of a country's stability. Chinese-style filial piety represented by the new "24 filial piety" has become the current happiness code of Chinese families. Experts said that in the context of the prevalence of Western guilt culture, the value of Chinese filial piety culture needs to be re-examined. As China enters a new era, the traditional culture of filial piety needs to be further creatively inherited and promoted.
