Why is Teacher's Day on holiday in 2022?

In 2022, Teacher's Day is September 10, and Saturday is August 15th of the lunar calendar, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Teacher's Day is a legal holiday in China, but it is not a legal holiday. The reason for our holiday is the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

In the history of China, there are many dates as Teachers' Day. It was not until 1985 that the Ninth Session of the Sixth National People's Congress passed the proposal to establish Teachers' Day that it was truly confirmed that 1985 10 was the first teachers' day in China. Is Teacher's Day a traditional festival?

Teacher's Day is not a traditional festival in China. There are different celebrations in different places every year, but there is no unified and fixed form. Every Teacher's Day, students thank their teachers in various ways.

But it is a common habit that students make greeting cards and send flowers to teachers themselves. In the government and schools, teachers' day celebration and commendation meetings are held to award bonuses and certificates to teachers. How many years have Mid-Autumn Teachers' Day happened on the same day?

About once every 20 years. Mid-Autumn Festival and Teacher's Day were not the same day, but in 2022, these two festivals happened together by coincidence.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a beautiful reunion day, but Teacher's Day made this festival more lively, which means that teachers are going to have a holiday.

The last time of the day was 1909, 1928, 1984, but at this time, Teacher's Day has not been decided. It was only in 1985 that September 10 was decided as Teacher's Day.
