Information about Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is a holiday to thank mothers du. Mothers usually receive gifts on this day. Carnations are regarded as flowers dedicated to their mothers, while Chinese mother flowers are Hemerocallis flowers, also known as forget worry grass.

Mother’s Day in the modern sense originated in the United States. In 1914, the US Senate and 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. It 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 their children, took their efforts for granted.

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

4. Anna Jarvis’ own choice of the day was the second Sunday in May, which was the anniversary of her mother’s death. This move was supported by many people. After her efforts, Philadelphia held the first Mother’s Day celebration on May 10, 1908. This kind of event soon 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 have followed suit. The United Kingdom, 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 it is also a stable social and cultural psychological foundation for a country. Chinese-style filial piety represented by the new “24 filial piety” has become the happiness code of Chinese families. Experts say that in the context of the prevailing culture of guilt in the West, the cultural value of Chinese filial piety needs to be re-examined. As China enters a new era, the traditional filial piety culture needs to be further creatively inherited and carried forward.

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. Taking filial piety as the foundation 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 want their children to live a better life, and children want their parents to live a happy life in their later years. Therefore, the vast majority of them are based on blood affection and ethical mission, and do not expect any return. “Altruistic filial piety”. In Western culture, the corresponding references to’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, Chinese people have attached great importance to family and blood and kinship relationships, and have expanded outward with family as the core layer, forming a close relationship based on human feelings between family-family-society-country. Home has become the origin of people’s spiritual destination. Western culture emphasizes that the individual is the core, and people establish a contractual relationship based on law. This relationship is loose, so the concept of family is not strong.
