Information about Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is a holiday to thank the mother du. Mothers usually receive gifts on this day. Carnations are regarded as flowers dedicated to their mothers, while the mother flower in China is the hemerocallis flower, also known as the nepenthes.

Mother’s Day in the modern sense originated in the United States. In 1914, the United States Senate and the House of Representatives designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

The origin of Mother’s Day:

1. The idea of establishing Mother’s Day was first proposed by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. Mrs. Jarvis died in Philadelphia, USA. Originally, this was not an extraordinary thing, but it was because of this wife that Mother’s Day became famous all over the world.

2. Mrs. Jarvis was an ordinary mother. Like many mothers, she was kind, kind, hard-working, and attentive to the human body. However, in the early 20th century, ordinary mothers often did not receive the respect they deserved. Many people, including her sons and daughters, take their efforts for granted.

3. But Mrs. Jarvis’ sons and daughters did not ignore this. Shortly after her mother’s death, Anna held a unique ceremony at the local church to pay tribute to her mother. At the same time, she was determined to make more children remember her mother. She wrote thousands of letters to important people and organizations, asking them to choose a special day as their mother’s holiday.

4. Anna Jarvis herself chose the second Sunday in May, which is the anniversary of her mother’s death. This move was supported by many people. After her efforts, Philadelphia held its first Mother’s Day celebration on May 10, 1908. This kind of activity quickly spread throughout the country. By 1913, the US Congress officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

5. After the establishment of mothers, many countries followed suit. Britain, Sweden, India, Mexico, Afghanistan, Costa Rica, Spain and other countries have begun to celebrate Mother’s Day. In recent years, China has also begun to celebrate this festival. This has formed the International Mother’s Day.

Social Influence:

1. Filial piety has always been an important part of traditional Chinese culture and a stable social, cultural and psychological foundation for a country. Chinese filial piety, represented by the new “24 filial piety”, has become the code of happiness for Chinese families. Experts say that in the context of the prevailing culture of guilt in the West, the value of Chinese filial piety culture needs to be re-examined. As China enters a new era, the traditional filial piety culture needs to be further creatively inherited and promoted.

2. “Economic support, life care, and spiritual comfort are the basic contents of Chinese people’s practice of filial piety from ancient times to the present. Filial piety is a long-standing human norm in the Chinese nation.” For some foreigners, the word “filial piety” with Chinese characteristics is still a novelty.

3. In China, parents hope that their children will live a better life, and children hope that their parents will live a happy life in their later years. Therefore, the vast majority of them are’altruistic filial piety ‘based on blood kinship and ethical mission, and do not ask for any return. In Western culture, the corresponding expressions of’filial piety’ include piety, gratitude, etc. This’Western filial piety ‘is mostly’self-interested filial piety’ based on market-oriented rules and the fulfillment of legal obligations. “

4.” There are also differences in Chinese and Western family views. “Since ancient times, the Chinese have attached great importance to family and blood kinship relations, and have expanded the family as the core layer, forming a close relationship based on human feelings. Family has become the origin of people’s spiritual destination. Western culture emphasizes the individual as the core, and people establish a contractual relationship based on law. This relationship is loose, so the concept of family is not strong.
