The origin of Mother's Day?

Mother's Day is a time to thank your mother. This festival first appeared in ancient Greece; Modern Mother's Day originated in America, and it is the second Sunday in May every year.

Mothers usually receive gifts on this day. Carnation is considered as a flower dedicated to mother, while China's mother flower is Hemerocallis, also known as the girl without sorrow. From June 5438 to February 2006, China People's Association Festival Emblem Cultural Committee and other organizations designated the second day of the fourth lunar month, the day when Meng Mu was born with Mencius, as China Mother's Day.

As we know today, Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May. On this day, mother will receive a bunch of carnations. But after all, it is a festival that originated in the United States and has nothing to do with our tradition.

What is really related to the lifeblood of our culture is "China Mother's Day", because it is the embodiment of filial piety culture. Although the West emphasizes respect for mothers, there is absolutely no concept of "filial piety". Therefore, the seemingly time difference is actually a cultural difference. The blood of traditional culture runs through our veins, so it is natural to regard Mencius' birthday as "Mother's Day in China", instead of imitating others at will.
