The story of June 1st originated from which ancient people?

The story of June 1st originated from Ouyang Xiu, a poet in Song Dynasty.

The story of "June 1st" comes from Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of June 1st by a layman": A guest asked the Japanese, "What is June 1st?" The layman said, "My family has a collection of 10,000 books, including 1,000 copies of epigraphy of three generations, a piano and a chess game, and always a pot of wine." The guest said, "It's for Wuyi Er. What can I do? " The layman said, "I am not an old man in these five things?"

Ouyang Xiu's title of "six-year-old layman" comes from six things that he was fascinated by at home in his later years. As mentioned in the original text, there are 10,000 books at home, including 1,000 inscriptions since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, a piano, a chess game, and often a pot of good wine, plus his aging self among these five things.

Development of Children's Day on June 1st;

At first, Children's Day on June 1st was a branch of International Children's Day, which was established internationally to commemorate children. It was published by UNESCO in 1949. Later, on June 1950, the government of China decided to set up a domestic children's day and began to celebrate it on June 1. In the early days, Children's Day was not a national holiday.

In the1980s, China's economic development brought about the growth of children, and Children's Day received more extensive attention and was given more significance, for example, celebrating children's contribution to society, commending outstanding children, and at the same time carrying forward and inheriting China's traditional culture and virtues. In addition, in order to popularize children's culture and promote children's sports culture, various beneficial activities have been held in various places, including children's sports games, painting competitions and composition competitions.

Today, Children's Day has become an entertaining festival, which has widely spread the concept of respecting children and protecting their rights and interests. It has also become a gathering time for children and parents, making people pay more attention to the growth and development of children.
