Legendary story:

On the southern plain of Liaoning, there is an ancient city of more than 2,000 years-Bayuquan Xiongyue City. In the sea green fruit forest to the east of Xiong Yue, there is a mountain with a butte protruding. There is a blue brick pagoda on the top of the mountain, which looks like a loving mother from a distance, looking forward to her son's early return. This mountain is called Wanger Mountain.

According to legend, a long time ago, the suburb of Xiong Yue was a beach. There is a poor family by the sea, only mother and son live alone. The mother worked hard for her son to study, and the son was determined to repay his mother's kindness by studying hard and becoming a talent. Then my son went to Beijing by boat to catch the exam. Many years have passed and there has been no news of my son. Mother is very anxious and goes to the seaside to look out every day. One year, two years, three years ... the mother's hair turned white, but her son was gone. Mother called to the sea again and again, "Come back, my child!" " ! Mom misses you, misses you ... "The elderly mother fell down and turned into a stone statue, and she didn't expect her son to come back.

In fact, his son was on his way to Beijing to catch the exam, but unfortunately he capsized and fell into the sea and died. God was moved by the great maternal love, and a high mountain stood where the mother expected her son. The earth was moved by great maternal love, and the tears shed by the mother turned into underground hot springs, nourishing countless red apples; The villagers were moved by the great maternal love. They called the unique Xiufeng, which rose from the ground, "Wanger Mountain", built a loving mother tower at the top of the mountain and a loving mother pavilion at the foot of the mountain, so that future generations could remember the ordinary and great kindness of their mothers.

With the development, Bayuquan people still retain the ancient style of respecting their mothers. On Mother's Day in May every year, we should carry out various activities to respect our mothers. Many people also set up a monument for their mother in the mother's hall to show their respect for their mother.

Historical significance:

Festivals are the crystallization and carrier of national culture. A large part of cultural memory is festivals.

The memory of. Many years later, many past events have been forgotten, but the festival scenes are vivid. At the same time, festivals have the characteristics of wide coverage, constant repetition and entertaining, which have had a profound impact on people. Therefore, major interpersonal festivals are very important to cultivate national spirit and cohesion. The real Mother's Day should be rooted in the heart to experience the mother's love. We advocate maternal love and mother education on Mother's Day in China. While advocating loving mother and filial piety. On the other hand, parents give their children life and have an instinctive selfless love for them. Mother's Day in China was established to make the love of parents in the world a festival that can be seriously displayed and recognized; Let the filial piety of the children in the world have a festival that is awakened and exquisitely expressed.

The traditional festivals in China are generally comprehensive, lacking a single outstanding festival with the theme of interpersonal relationship, such as Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. And modern society has the need to express human feelings. China's traditional culture is gradually moving towards self-awareness, self-confidence and self-improvement, but the road is still far away, and more people of insight are needed to promote it and make continuous efforts.

The Chinese nation has a long and splendid ethical civilization and attaches great importance to the love and kindness of parents and children.

Many great and influential images of mothers were born. We should have our own Mother's Day in China, a Mother's Day in China full of Chinese excellent cultural connotation and national spirit, instead of foreign Mother's Day, which is the need of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Looking back at the history of the Chinese nation, the most prominent image of Mencius' mother Jia is China's virtuous mother. After Mencius lost his father at the age of three, she was in charge of educating Mencius. The story of "Meng Mu's Three Movements" and "Breaking the Machine to Teach Children" has been told for more than two thousand years. From the external environment of children's growth to the internal law of learning, she noticed it and finally made her a great tool. She has become a model of a mother who educates her children and is known as "one mother teaches one person". Even now, Meng Mu can be regarded as the image representative of China's Mother's Day to show her great and great maternal love and inspire mothers from generation to generation.

Having a baby is the beginning of being a mother. China's Mother's Day, the flag, was chosen on the day when Mencius was born, because children became children on this day. Nowadays, some children only think about their own happiness on their birthdays, but in traditional virtues, they should thank their mothers for their birthdays, so they are called "Mother's Day" or "Mother's Day". Taking Mencius' birthday as Mother's Day, represented by Meng Mu, means to be grateful for the kindness and maternal love of the mother when celebrating the birthday.
