What festival is September 10th?

Before the founding of New China, there were two versions of Teachers' Day. The first is the "June 6th" edition of Teachers' Day organized by educators of 193 1, aiming at calling for improving teachers' treatment. The second is 1939, the "August 27" version of Teacher's Day set up by the Ministry of Education of the Kuomintang government. However, the former was not recognized by the Kuomintang government, and the latter was not implemented nationwide because of war and other reasons.

Historical background:

Respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching is a fine tradition of China. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty in 1 1 century BC, the idea of "disciples should be teachers and respect their fathers" was put forward. Confucius, a great educator in ancient times, left a series of wise sayings, such as "teach without class" and "make the past serve the present". Teachers who preach, teach and dispel doubts are praised by the people of China as engineers of human soul.

In fact, as early as 1932, the government of the Republic of China has designated June 6 as Teacher's Day. After liberation, Teacher's Day on June 6th was cancelled and changed to "May 1st International Labor Day". However, Teacher's Day has no separate activities and features.

September 10 Teacher's Day is set in consideration of the new atmosphere of universities, middle schools and primary schools in China since the beginning of the new school year. Respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching at the beginning of freshmen's enrollment can create a good atmosphere of "teachers teach well and students learn well"1September 1985 10 is the first teacher's day in China. Since then, teachers have their own festivals to celebrate Teachers' Day and thank teachers.
