Is Children's Day a traditional festival?

Children's Day is not a traditional festival in China.

The so-called traditional festivals are an important part of the long history and culture of the Chinese nation. The formation of traditional festivals is a process of long-term accumulation and cohesion of national or national history and culture. Children's Day, also known as International Children's Day, is a festival for children all over the world, and there is no historical and cultural precipitation of a country or a nation, so Children's Day is not a traditional festival.

Since 1 June 19491was established as the International Children's Day, countries all over the world have abolished the original Children's Day and unified it into "June 1 International Children's Day". On February 1949, China announced "Children's Day on June 1st" to replace the original "Children's Day on April 4th".

At present, many countries in the world have designated June 1 as Children's Day, especially socialist countries. In Europe and the United States, the date of Children's Day is different, and public celebrations are rarely held.

Proposals for Children's Day:

The concept of "International Children's Day" was first put forward by 1925 at the International Child Welfare Conference held in Geneva, Switzerland.

Representatives from 54 countries that care for children gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, to hold the "International Conference on Children's Happiness" and adopted the Geneva Declaration on the Protection of Children. In the declaration, there were heated discussions on children's spiritual enjoyment, assistance to poor children, avoiding children from engaging in dangerous work, giving children a chance to make a living, and how to save and raise children.

Starting from this congress, on the one hand, in order to inspire children and make them feel happy, on the other hand, in order to attract social attention and love, governments of various countries have successively stipulated "Children's Day".
