Father's Day, as its name implies, is a holiday to thank your father. Father's savings began in the early 20th century, originated in the United States, and now it has been widely spread all over the world, with different festival dates in different regions. So what is the origin of Father's Day? Come and have a look with me next.

The Origin of Father's Day in China

Can be traced back to the Republic of China. On August 8, 1934 (1August 8, 945), the Shanghai Academy of Scholars held a celebration of Father's Day. The citizens responded immediately and held a warm celebration. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, celebrities and gentlemen from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly requested the Shanghai Municipal Government to transmit it to the Nanjing Central Government, and designated August 8 as Father's Day.

In fact, this provision is more in line with China culture, because the homonym of Chinese characters in China was added, and on August 8th, two eights overlapped and deformed into "father". It is necessary to point out that the China government does not stipulate that the third Sunday in June is Father's Day every year.

China officials have not set a specific date for Father's Day. At present, the most popular Father's Day on the Internet was put forward by Li Wenhao and belongs to China people.

The earliest source of father's day

The first Father's Day in the world was born in the United States in 1920.

1920_, Mrs. Dodd, who lives in Spokane, Washington, USA, was deeply touched after attending the Mother's Day Sunday worship organized by the church, and thought: Why is there no festival to commemorate his father in this world?

Mrs. Dodd's mother died when she was 13 years old, leaving six children. The father, Mr. Williams Matt, raised six children by himself. The second child, Mrs. Dodd, is the only girl in the family. A woman's meticulous nature makes her more aware of her father's hard work. Mr Smart works hard on the farm during the day, and at night he goes home to do housework and take care of every child's life. After decades of hard work, the children finally grew up. Just as the children were looking forward to letting Mr. Smart enjoy his old age, Mr. Smart fell ill and died because of years of overwork.

1920_, which happened to be the year when Mr. Smar died. After attending the Mother's Day Thanksgiving service in the church, Mrs. Dodd missed his father very much. Only then did Mrs. Dodd realize that in the process of raising children, her father's love and efforts were no less than any mother's. Mrs. Dodd told Pastor remus of the church how she felt. She hopes to have a special day to pay tribute to the great Mr. Smart and to commemorate the great father in the world.

Pastor remus was deeply moved by Mr Smart's spirit and love. He praised and supported Mrs. Dodd's efforts to promote Father's Day. So Mrs. Dodd began to promote the establishment of Father's Day in the spring of 1920_, and soon got the support of various church organizations. She immediately wrote to the mayor and the state government to express her thoughts and suggestions. Thanks to Mrs. Dodd's efforts, the mayor of Spokane and governor of washington publicly agreed, so Washington held the first Father's Day party in the world on June 1920_.

1920_, US President Coolidge supports Father's Day as a national holiday. 1966, US President Zhan Sen declared the third Sunday in June of that year as American Father's Day; 1972, US President Nixon signed an official document, which designated the third Sunday in June as the National Father's Day.
