The time of Mother's Day in China

Mother's Day in China is on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.

Mother's Day first comes to mind on the second Sunday of May every year, which is 14 in May 2023. In fact, this day refers to "Mother's Day" in America. Mother's Day in China is not on this day, but on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. There is a folk saying "On June 6th, my daughter gave her mother a piece of meat".

The sixth day of June is the day when the Yellow Emperor married Lei Zu, and Lei Zu is China's mother, so China chose this day as his "Mother's Day". When Fuxi, the ancestor of China, invented gossip, "6" was both yin and old yin. On June 6, the old yin and the old yin merged, meaning old mother.

Lei Zu (léi, whose date of birth and death is unknown), also known as the daughter of a noble family in Xiling, is the yuan princess of Xuanyuan Huangdi, an ancient figure in China, and is known as a silkworm.

In fact, Mother's Day is not just a fixed holiday. Every day in our daily life, we should be grateful to our mother, be filial and have filial piety. If we can do this, then every day is mothers' day and every day is happy. Finally, in this important festival, I wish all mothers in the world happiness, health and happiness.

Ways and means of expressing love for mother

1, send jewelry

Women are born to love beauty. On Mother's Day, they will choose earrings, necklaces and other intimate ornaments for their mothers.

Step 2 send flowers

Sending a bunch of carnations on Mother's Day is also my little respect for my mother.

Step 3 send DIY projects

Parents who like to do it themselves send DIY gifts to their mothers, which is the most appropriate way to express their love for their mothers.

Step 4 send clothes

Most mothers give everything for their children all their lives. Mothers are very diligent all their lives, and even buy themselves a dress carefully and give you everything. At this time, you should buy a new dress for your mother and thank her for her care over the years.

Step 5 look through old photos together

In the eyes of mother, we will always be children, and we will always be the children who make her worry and worry. On Mother's Day, you can look through old photos with your mother and listen to her nagging childhood stories. Recall the past with my mother, listen to her talk, have fun with her, remember with her, and feel my mother's warmth and pure love for us again in the memory. Mom, you have worked hard.

6. Take a picture with your mother.

Photographs are a way for us to record good times. Record the moment when you and your mother are together, and then develop the photos and give them to your mother, so that her mother can see that you have been together all the time and make her feel gratified.

Step 7 make an album

Collect photos of mom's daily life, make an album and give them to her on Mother's Day, so that she can feel your intentions.

8. Take over the housework

Do well is better than say well. On Mother's Day, do what you can to express your sincerity and gratitude to your mother. For example, friends who seldom stay at home at ordinary times can pack up the housework of this day, so that mothers can enjoy the feeling of being served by their children and enjoy family happiness.
