Introduction to Mother's Day

1, the origin of Mother's Day in China

According to legend, a long time ago, the outskirts of the city of Xiong Yue was a beach. There was a poor family on the beach, only mother and son, dependent on each other. The mother loved her son very much and hoped that he would study hard and be successful in his future endeavors. In order to pay for her son's education, she worked hard during the day, spinning and weaving at night. That year, the court held a big examination to select talents, and her son decided to go to the capital to take the examination. The mother worked day and night, waiting for her son to return. However, she never heard from her son. Anxious, the mother went to the sea every day to look at the sea. Until the old mother turned into a stone statue, she did not expect her son to return.

The folks were touched by the great love of mother, the rising Duxiu Peak is called "Wanger Mountain", built on the top of the mountain Cimu Pagoda, in the mountain below the repair of Cimu Hall, so that future generations to remember the mother's ordinary but great kindness. So far, the people of Mackerel still retain the ancient style of honoring and loving their mothers. In May every year, "Mother's Day" this day, to carry out a variety of activities to honor and love their mothers. Many people are still in the mother museum for their mothers to set up a monument, in order to express the reverence for their mothers.

The Chinese Mothers' Day Promotion Association will also select one million students in China and issue them with free copies of the Action Plan for Caring for Mothers, which is designed for primary school students, secondary school students and university students to choose ways and means of caring for their mothers according to their actual situation. There are also plans to hold Chinese competitions such as the Mom Story Essay Contest.

The Chinese people, in response to the growing popularity of foreign festivals and the coldness of national festivals, have taken action to return to traditional festivals, such as organizing the "Chinese Valentine's Day" - the "Tanabata Cultural Festival". The "Tanabata Cultural Festival" and the "Chinese New Year" are examples of the actions taken by the public to return to traditional festivals, such as organizing the "Chinese Valentine's Day" - "Tanabata Cultural Festival", investing in efforts to explore the cultural connotations of the Spring Festival, etc., and the creation of the "Chinese Mothers' Day" has continued this cultural revival.

May 13, 2007 is the Western "Mother's Day", and at that time, some Chinese Confucian researchers and young people's ethical and moral educators also kicked off the first folk "Chinese Mother's Day" prelude, advocating that the Chinese people with their own way of remembering The first of these is the "Mother's Day".

The third lecture of the National Lecture Hall: Family Sentiment and Family Tradition and the symposium on the documentary "Chinese Mothers" was held on September 30, 2017 in Beijing.

Secretary General of the National Lecture Hall for Leading Cadres, Qi Chongfeng, General Producer of the documentary "Chinese Mothers": the long and splendid ethical civilization of the Chinese nation is a nation that attaches great importance to the love of parents and children and the heart of fraternity, and has given birth to many great and very influential images of mothers. Chinese mothers are the bloodline of the nation, motherhood has the greatest and most selfless love. The Chinese people in the five thousand years of China's long history of culture has always focused on the filial piety of the mother. It is with this filial piety, which focuses on the mother's family, that the Chinese people and the Chinese nation's deep-rooted self-confidence and pride. The documentary "Chinese Mothers" aims to maintain the bloodline of Chinese culture, cultivate the spirit of the Chinese nation, embody the great Chinese mothers and the spirit of traditional filial piety, with the intention of awakening a strong sense of respect for mothers and care for mothers among modern people. To promote the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and cultural self-confidence, as an important part of governance.

Initiative

December 13, 2007, Mother's Day Promotion Association was founded and the first plenary meeting was held in the hometown of Mencius - Zoucheng City, Shandong Province. At the meeting, an initiative was issued to create a Chinese Mother's Day, the full text of which is as follows:

Who in the world has no mother? Good design of the Chinese Mother's Day, so that the world's parents have a heart to be manifested, was recognized by the heart of the festival, so that the world's children have a heart to be awakened, exquisite expression of the festival, in the construction of a harmonious society today, should be mentioned on the agenda. This is an excellent platform for the inheritance of Chinese virtues, strengthening the education of minors, improving the quality of human mothers, for the harmony of the family, for the cultivation of the whole society's love and the enhancement of the moral standard of the whole society.

The Chinese nation has a long and splendid ethical civilization, and is a nation that attaches great importance to the love of parents and children and benevolence, and has nurtured many great and influential mother figures. We should have our own Chinese Mother's Day, a Chinese Mother's Day overflowing with excellent cultural connotations and national spirit of the Chinese nation, rather than foreign Mother's Day, which is the need for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Looking back at the history of the Chinese nation, Mencius' mother, the Equuschick, is the most prominent image of the Chinese mother, after Mencius lost his father when he was three years old, she took on the full responsibility of raising him. The stories of "The Three Moves of Mencius' Mother" and "The Broken Machine Teaching Mencius" have been told for more than 2,000 years. From the external environment of the child's growth to the internal rules of learning, she has paid attention to all of them, and finally made the child become a great man, and she herself has become a mother's model in educating her children. She herself became a model of a mother who educated her children, and is known as "Mother Teaching One", which is still passed down as an example, and can be used as a representative of the image of Chinese Mother's Day to highlight the greatness of mothers and great motherly love, to inspire mothers from generation to generation, and to stimulate love and filial piety as a son of a human being.

The birth of a child is the beginning of motherhood, the Chinese Mother's Day under the banner of Meng mother selected on the day of Meng mother gave birth to Mengzi, because this day the Equuschick only became the mother of Meng. Nowadays, some children only think of their own happiness on their birthdays, but in the traditional virtues, birthdays should be grateful to their mothers, so they call birthdays "Mother's Difficulty Day" or "Mother's Difficulty". To designate Mengzi's birthday as Mother's Day, which is represented by the image of Meng's mother, means that one should be grateful for mother's grace and love when celebrating one's birthday.

Mengzi's hometown of Zoucheng City, Shandong Province, has been passed down through the generations to commemorate the birthday of Mengzi, and in the Ming Wanli book "Sanqian Zhi" and other documents have a corresponding basis. The birthday of Mencius is the second day of the fourth month of the Zhou calendar. It is more appropriate to take this day as Chinese Mother's Day. In order to promote the establishment and development of Chinese Mother's Day, we scholars and social workers from all over the country voluntarily formed the "Mother's Day Promotion Association" and carry out our work according to the law. We believe that: Mother's Day in the United States is a place by the Philadelphia first up, we may as well operate from the hometown of Mencius Zou City, a number of places first, as long as the practice has proved conducive to the construction of a harmonious society, will gradually form a climate, the blue for the festival, will be dedicated to this endeavor, I hope to get the recognition of the community and support.

Another scholar, Xue Gang, a writer of rhetoric, wrote an article "Mother's Love Fugue", suggesting that the Chinese female ancestor of the birth of Rayon set up for the Chinese Mother's Day. The reason is: Rayon is the Chinese humanities ancestor of the Yellow Emperor's wife, is the history of the humanities female ancestor, its cultural roots more thick.

Can be matchless, North Hall daylily show; Polygonum polygonum, Kai Feng green full of wild barren. And the gas is overflowing, the earth is beautiful; benevolence and virtue, the sun and the moon are light. The God of the Valley will not die, Kun Yu hold the beginning as the root; Heaven and earth will always exist, the family love Park Yongfang. Spring Myrtle, not because of the dark clouds a little less; world events, why hinder the care of crazy growth. Mother's love is the basis of the blessing of reproduction; children are encouraged, new benefits of chaste and strong.

Establishing the meaning

Mother's love is the greatest and most selfless. Mother's love is a wonder in the world of human emotions, is a sincere and noble and lasting love. It is because of its inheritance of life, there is "the beginning of man, the nature of goodness" of the road; there is love - the eternal theme of the world. A mother's whole life is toiling for her children, carrying a child to term, providing sustenance for the fetus; a baby sucking the mother's milk to leave the swaddling clothes; meticulous care and attention in childhood; training and education in the juvenile period, and after adulthood, the marriage, family and career issues, none of which does not touch the mother's heart. Ancient Mencius mother in order to make the child have a good learning environment, toil and trouble, many times to move; in the 5-12 Wenchuan earthquake, a young mother in order to save their own children, take the body to block the collapsed house, with their own lives in exchange for the child's second life, her actions to the world to show the greatness of mothers, to show the charm of motherhood.

"Filial piety" is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, in China's 5,000 years of long history of culture, has always paid attention to filial piety. 24 filial piety charts, recorded in the story of Liu Heng, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, tasted the medicine, his mother was sick for three years, he often did not cross his eyelashes, clothes do not know how to wear; his mother took the medicine, he tasted it before letting his mother take; Hanoi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the mother of the mother to take the medicine. The story of Ding Lan, a native of Hanoi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who missed the kindness of his parents' upbringing, so he carved a statue of his parents out of wood and offered it to his parents. Chen Yi, the Vice Premier of the People's Republic of China, washed the diapers of his sick mother with his own hands; General Feng Yuxiang regarded his birthday as the "Mother's Day of Trouble" and went on a hunger strike for a day to commemorate his mother. Mr. Chiang Ching-kuo wrote the words "Wash blood with blood" next to the house where his mother was killed by a Japanese plane, in order to avenge his mother's death. All these reflect the love and filial piety of the Chinese for their great mother. Confucian classics have many treatises on filial piety: "Xiaojing" has "filial piety, the basis of virtue, the teaching of the birth of the same." "Therefore, from the son of heaven to the common people, filial piety is not always, and those who suffer from less than, not yet there." In the Analects of Confucius, there is the saying, "A gentleman is a man of the world, and the way is born when he is a man of the world. Filial piety and brotherhood is the foundation of benevolence!" In The Great Learning, it says, "To be a son, one stops at filial piety; to be a father, one stops at compassion." In the Book of Rites, it says, "The filial piety of a man is a good successor to the will of others, and a good description of the will of others." In the chapter of "Advising on Repaying Parents' Favor," there is: "Heaven and earth emphasize filial piety as the first step, and the whole family is at peace with one word of filial piety. One must be filial to one's parents, and filial piety is like honoring heaven." In the Rules of Discipleship, it says, "First filial piety and fraternal duty, then honor and trust." In the Analects of Confucius? The disciple line has: "filial piety, the beginning of virtue; brotherly love, the order of virtue."

The establishment of our own Chinese Mother's Day is of great significance:

To emulate the example of respecting parents and caring for mothers. The great figures of each era are all examples of filial piety and respect for mothers. The Analects of Confucius says: "The filial piety of the present is to be able to raise. As for dogs and horses, all of them can be raised. If you don't respect them, how can you be different?" It means that parents should not only be "nurtured", but more importantly, "honored", otherwise they are no different from dogs and horses. There is also a saying in Mencius, "The most important thing a filial son can do is to honor his parents." Many students have learned some knowledge, book knowledge straight up, and some often more than their parents, and therefore feel that they have grown up, the parents' teachings as "superfluous", easy to argue, and some even speak out of turn, the lack of due respect and courtesy. The first thing that we need to do is to get the best out of the world, and we're going to do it in a way that's going to make us feel better about ourselves.

Starting from the side, learn to be grateful. As the old saying goes, "The kindness of a drop of water is repaid when it springs from the spring." Mother gave us life, and painstakingly raised us, this grace is higher than the sky, deeper than the sea. We should be grateful for this gift of life, this uncomplaining pay, should learn to return the mother, know how to be grateful. A person who does not even know how to be grateful to his mother, how dare he expect to treat his teachers and friends well? When the country is in trouble, how can we expect him to throw his head and blood for her? If everyone is so selfish, how can there be warmth in society? With a grateful heart, start from caring for your parents, learn to treat life well, thank your parents, and be grateful to society.

Promoting motherhood and filial piety. Filial piety education is the basic project of the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, which gives the word "filial piety" a more profound connotation, not only require us to parents to do the filial piety of children, but also advocate us to respect the elderly and love the young, help the weak and help the poor, the community has a sense of responsibility and know how to return to their parents, teachers, other people, the community and the heart of thanksgiving, requires us to the motherland to do the loyal heart. The following are some of the most important things that we can do for our motherland. Huang Xiang warmed the bed for his father, Lu Jie wai dry oranges and left his relatives, these stories that have been passed down for a long time, reflecting the sincere feelings of filial piety of the ancient working people to serve their relatives. However, in today's part of the youth, but it is difficult to see the continuation of this virtue and carry forward. Some students at home is the "little emperor", always contradict their parents, selfish and capricious, unfilial and disrespectful, which affects the sound development of their personality. In contemporary times, we should widely promote the mother's love, so that children feel the hard work of their parents and not easy, so that the world's parents have a heart to be manifested, be serious about the experience of the holiday, so that the world's children have a heart to be awakened, and the exquisite expression of the holiday, in order to the spirit of the Chinese filial piety permanent circulation.

In summary, to maintain the Chinese cultural lineage, cultivate the spirit of the Chinese nation, China should set up its own Mother's Day, which reflects the greatness of Chinese mothers and the traditional spirit of filial piety, awakening the modern people to be more respectful of their mothers, caring for their mothers' consciousness, so that they have a heart of thanksgiving, know how to return to their parents, teachers, other people, the community, and to the motherland to do their best to fulfill their filial piety. Li Hanqiu and some experts and scholars advocate the mother of Meng Mengzi born on the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar as the "Chinese Mother's Day", can be the first choice; in addition, the lunar calendar, "the spring equinox" contains the meaning of life revival, a piece of vitality, is also a good choice, it is worth recommending. Mother's Day on what day, not the key to the problem, can be voted by the public on the Internet, should be in line with public opinion. But the establishment of China's own Mother's Day is imperative.

Reasons for Establishment

On July 15, 2006, the second Nüwa Mountain and Water Tourism Festival was opened in Guling Mountain, Qi County, Henan Province. Some scholars have suggested that the date of Nüwa's birth should be recognized as "Chinese Mother's Day".

Why do we need Chinese Mother's Day

The image of Mother's Day in different cultures represents different cultural personalities, flowing with the blood of their own national cultures and carrying the national spirit of their own people. When the children of China sucked the cultural milk of Mother's Day, the mother of the representative is a foreign mother, such a thing should not continue. To maintain the bloodline of Chinese culture and cultivate the spirit of the Chinese nation, we need our own Chinese Mother's Day. This is not to "follow the foreigners", on the contrary, in order to maintain the main body of Chinese culture.

Why the image of Mencius as a representative

In the many Chinese mothers, Mencius has five advantages:

1, the actual person, not a legendary figure, not a mythological figure, but a historical figure.

2, the virtuous mother is informative and rich. Some of them have only one thing and lack of plot. The Western Han Dynasty "Han Shi Wai Zhuan" and the great historian Liu Xiang's "Martyrs' Biography" has recorded several things of the Mencius' mother, the Equuschick, at different stages of teaching her children, with plots and stories, from the external environment of children's growth to the internal rules of learning, all noted, forming a systematic teaching of children's ideas and methods. It can be told and passed on for others to follow.

3, the time is earlier, and there are relics of the past generations for admiration. The Equuschick was born Mencius in 372 BC, and has been with the Chinese nation for 2,379 years. After the Tang Dynasty, there are many relics left behind. The forest of Mengmu, the hall of the bedchamber of the Holy Spirit, the three relocations of Mengmu, the shrine of the three relocations of Mengmu, the monument of Mengmu's broken machine and so on are available for the children of China to look forward to and memorialize.

4, household name, high visibility and influence. Liu Xiang remembered the mother of Meng taught five things, "the mother of Meng three moves", "break the loom metaphor for learning" two things spread the most far-reaching, the Southern Song Dynasty "Three Character Classic" in the "former mother of Meng, choose a neighbor, the son does not learn, break the loom! In the Three Character Classic of the Southern Song Dynasty, the saying, "In the past, Mencius' mother chose her neighbor, and her son did not learn by breaking the loom. Until 1994 my "New Three Character Classic" also "former Meng mother, Ru bitter Xin, break the loom, good choice of neighbors."

5, the effectiveness of teaching children. Meng Ke became a great thinker in ancient China, a representative of Confucianism. He was known as the Sage, and his first teacher was Mencius' mother. The first teacher was Meng Meng's mother, who taught her children for thousands of years.

Why set on the day of Mencius mother gave birth to Mencius

Positioning perspective is the mother rather than the other, the Equuschick gave birth to Meng Ke to become the mother of Meng, so the day of the mother of Meng gave birth to Meng Zi is the sign. The Chinese tradition calls one's birthday "Mother's Day", or "Mother's Difficulty". This is to show that one's birthday is not forgetting the kindness of one's mother's upbringing. The day of the birth of Mencius as the Chinese Mother's Day, and by extension, each person in the celebration of their own birthday to be grateful to my mother who gave birth to me.

Mengzi's mother, the Equuschick, is the most prominent image of the Chinese mother, "Meng mother three moves", "break the machine to teach the child" story recited for more than two thousand years, Mengzi's birthday as a Mother's Day, in order to allow people to celebrate their own birthdays should be grateful for mother's grace, Thank you for your mother's love. Since then, eighteen Confucian scholars and educators of ethics and morality for young people in China have jointly launched an initiative to designate China's Mother's Day, hoping that the day when Meng's mother gave birth to her son would be designated as "China's Mother's Day". "On December 13, 2006, the Founding Meeting of the Association for the Promotion of Mother's Day was held in Zoucheng City, Shandong Province, the hometown of Mencius. Confucianism from all over the country, groups, scholars in the field of ethical and moral education of young people through the "Mother's Day Promotion Association Charter" and "the creation of Mother's Day initiative" to determine the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar for the Chinese Mother's Day, and decided to the second day of the fourth month of the year Dinhaili (May 18, 2007), the first Chinese Mother's Day in the city of Shijiazhuang held.

Why the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar

Chinese Mother's Day Mengzi's hometown of Zou (southeast of Zoucheng, present-day Shandong Province) for generations, the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar to commemorate the birth of Mencius, and so far, also known as the people's **** know. This is the people's collective memory, has formed folklore, which is the most reliable. In Fangzhi and other documents also have corresponding records, not alone. Chinese traditional festivals as well as on the birthday of the age of the people to the lunar calendar, every year will not forget the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival is which day, visible as long as the community attaches importance to, even if the lunar calendar to the festival is not afraid of not good to remember. It is recommended that the annual calendar in this day marked "Chinese Mother's Day", which will be even more will not forget.

How to do and promote recognition

The love of mankind begins with the love of mothers, love of mothers, Mother's Day is the need of all mankind. Therefore, once ignited, it is easy to form a prairie fire. Mother's Day in the United States began in 1907 in Philadelphia, after seven years of hard work, gradually recognized by some states, to 1914 before the official set the second Sunday in May for the U.S. Mother's Day. Chinese Mother's Day can also be gradually converged and prairie fire, the first Chinese Mother's Day in Zoucheng, Shijiazhuang, Qufu and other cities to organize large-scale celebrations, Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Fuzhou, Harbin, Liuzhou, Xinxiang, Taiyuan, Yushe, Zaozhuang, Dezhou, Surabaya, Laixi and other dozen of cities in some of the first schools to carry out. Schools are a natural place to carry out Chinese Mother's Day activities, but also very simple: before the second day of April (May 18 on the solar calendar), before the second Sunday in May (13th), the students are assigned to do a good deed for their mothers in the name of Chinese Mother's Day (including making a phone call, writing a letter), and write an essay. This does not increase the burden on teachers and students, so why not.

Chinese Mother's Flower

Long before carnations became a symbol of mother's love, there was also a mother's flower in China, which is the daylily.

The daylily has a history of thousands of years in China, and it is also known as Deceit Grass, which means to forget. The earliest written records are found in the "Poetry - Wei Feng - Bo Ruoxi": "Where to deceive the grass, the back of the word tree". Zhu Xi said: "Deceive the grass, make people forget; back, North Hall also."

Another title forgetfulness (forgetfulness grass), from the "Museum": "Daylily, eating it makes people good joy, forgetfulness, so it is called forgetfulness grass". The Poetry Scripture says: "The darkness of the north hall can be planted with daylilies"; the north hall represents the meaning of mother. In ancient times, when a child traveled far away from his mother, he would plant daylilies in the north hall, hoping to alleviate his mother's longing for her child and to forget her worries. In the Tang Dynasty, Meng Jiao wrote in his poem "Poem of the Traveling Child": "The daylilies are born on the steps of the hall, and the traveling child travels to the end of the world; the mother is leaning on the door of the hall, but she does not see the daylilies".

Wang Coronation's "Occasional Book" says, "The wind and sun are good today, and the daylilies are in front of the hall. Throughout the ages, the literati have also often used it as a subject for chanting, Cao Zhi made an ode to it, Su Dongpo made a poem for it, Xiahou Zhan made a fugue for it, one by one, pointing out the status of daylilies in life.

Daylily is also known as 'Yiman Grass', the 'Terroir Records' cloud: 'expectant mothers to wear its grass is born male', so called this name. Anciently known as mother's room for daylily, later because of daylily for mother or mother's residence of the pronoun [mothers room].

The north hall has daylilies, how can I forget my worries?

Origin of the festival

The tradition of Mother's Day originated in ancient Greece. On January 8, the ancient Greeks honored Rhea, the mother of the Greek gods (English: Rhea, Cybele, Greek: Ρα, mother of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, Hera, and Hestia, hence Mother of the Gods). In ancient Rome, these events became much larger, with celebrations often lasting up to three days. Of course, the worship of the goddesses in ancient times was nothing more than a superstition, and it was very different from the honoring of motherhood that is practiced today.

In the mid-17th century, Mother's Day spread to the United Kingdom, where it was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. On this day, young people who had been away from home would return home with small gifts for their mothers.

In 1876, America was still mourning the dead of the Civil War. Mrs. Anna Jarvis, who taught a chapel class on America's National Day of Remembrance, said in her prayer after telling the stories of the heroes who gave their lives in battle, "May it be that somewhere, sometime, someone will create a Mother's Day to honor and praise the mothers of the United States and the world."

Mrs. Chavez served her chapel for more than 25 years, and when she died at age 72, her daughter, Anna, 41, set her mind to creating a Mother's Day to fulfill the wish her mother had prayed for so many years before. Anna wrote to many prestigious figures asking them to support the establishment of a Mother's Day to promote filial piety. The initial response was lukewarm, but she continued to appeal to all sectors of the community.

On May 12, 1907, the Andre Methodist Church held a service for mothers at Anna's invitation. The following year, the service was held in Philadelphia, and the response was so enthusiastic that it finally gained the support of the Governor of Victoria, who proclaimed Mother's Day in that state in 1910.

By 1911, the celebration of Mother's Day had become so widespread that it had not only swept through every state in the United States of America, but was also celebrated in Canada, Mexico, and a number of countries in South America. In the United States of America, leaflets publicizing Mother's Day were issued in 10 different languages to all countries in order to increase their impact. In the years that followed, the fervor of the movement to celebrate Mother's Day continued unabated.

In 1912, the United States of America created the International Association for Mother's Day.

In May 1913, the House of Representatives of the United States of America unanimously passed a resolution calling on the President and all officials of the Cabinet, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the federal government to wear white gypsophila on Mother's Day.

In 1914, the Congress of the United States of America officially named the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day and asked the President to issue a proclamation calling on government officials to fly the flag on all public **** buildings. Immediately thereafter, President Wilson notified the citizens of the nation to also fly the flag on their homes to express their love and respect for all mothers in the United States of America. Since then, the President of the United States of America has issued an annual proclamation to the same effect. Since then, Mother's Day has been celebrated in various countries.
