What is the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar

Chinese Mother's Day is celebrated on the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar.

In 2007, the Chinese people initiated to take the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, which is the birthday of Mencius, as the "Chinese Mother's Day".

Nowadays, some children only think of their own happiness on their birthdays, whereas in the traditional virtues, birthdays should be grateful for the mother's kindness, so they call birthdays "Mother's Day" or "Mother's Difficulty". The birthday of Mencius is designated as Mother's Day in the image of Mencius' mother, which means that when celebrating one's birthday, one should be grateful for one's mother's kindness and love.

As we all know, the true history of Meng's mother's teaching of her son to the sages has not only produced a great sage, but has also inspired and encouraged Chinese mothers to respect teachers and emphasize the importance of education, focusing on the family's culture, continuing the cultural and educational lineage of the Chinese nation, and nurturing the backbone of the Chinese nation and talents from one generation to the next. Nationals and overseas Chinese who promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture are celebrating their own Mother's Day!
