What is the origin of Arbor Day? Does it have more than ten legal holidays?

What is the origin of Arbor Day in China? The reason why China's Arbor Day is designated as 12 every March is actually to commemorate the third anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's death 1928 National Government.

This decision was officially recognized by the Fifth National People's Congress 1979.

In other words, China's current 3? 12 Arbor Day, its origin is like this.

But you know what? The earliest Arbor Day in China was not actually 3? Arbor Day was founded in 12, but in 19 15? Qingming Arbor Day? .

19 15, a group of China foresters suggested that Tomb-Sweeping Day be designated as Arbor Day every year.

It was the suggestions made by these foresters that paved the way, and considering that Dr. Sun Yat-sen had always advocated afforestation and environmental protection before his death, the National Government later decided to set Arbor Day as 3? 12。

This is the complete origin of China Arbor Day.

Why not have a holiday on Arbor Day? In fact, in China in recent years, Arbor Day has never had any sense of existence. Why?

Because many primary schools used to organize children to participate in tree planting activities on Arbor Day. But in recent years, under the heavy study, Arbor Day has long been strange to children in primary schools? Tradition.

Besides, there will be no holiday on Arbor Day? Many friends want to know, why not have a holiday on Arbor Day?

Actually, the reason is that Arbor Day is not a legal holiday in China!

It is not so much a festival as a non-mandatory public welfare activity, so from a legal point of view, Arbor Day has no reason to have a holiday.

Secondly, from the production point of view, if enterprises have a day off on Arbor Day, the scale of delayed production will be huge, and as we all know, employees may be more willing to work and earn more money than taking an extra day off to plant trees.

In addition, according to my personal opinion, after all, China has made great achievements in greening, so I think it is more important to do a good job in greening than to have a national holiday and plant trees symbolically.
