Is Children's Day a traditional festival?

Children's Day is an international holiday, not a traditional Chinese holiday. It was established in Moscow in 1949.
There was no concept of Children's Day in ancient my country, but there was a holiday set up for children during the Anti-Japanese War.
During my country's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, as the war intensified, the Chinese Anti-Japanese Children's Corps was established. At that time, the little heroes in the mountains also had their own Children's Day, but it was on April 4th.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were hundreds of thousands of anti-Japanese children's corps members in China's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, including the famous anti-Japanese young hero Wang Erxiao, and later the martyr Dong Cunrui in the War of Liberation. Many more children's corps members became the backbone of socialist construction after experiencing the magnificent new democratic revolution.
Old members of the Children's League recalled that on Children's Day, as long as the Japanese did not come to "raid", the county and district would organize activities and hold meetings. Sometimes singing competitions are held, sometimes exercises are organized, and children's groups from several villages compete with each other to see who sings better and exercises more neatly. The winners will receive prizes, which are usually pencils, etc.
In order to improve the ability to deal with the enemy, military training is also an important part of the children's group. Summer camps were organized in the border areas, and the backbone members of the children's corps were gathered together for training in the mountains. They learned how to shoot, assassinate, and bury mines, and also conducted marches, air defense drills, and fire prevention drills. In order to improve the ability to resist "mopping up" operations, the Children's Group also organized a "Charge Month" activity, gathering the children together every night, living together, holding emergency assemblies in the middle of the night, packing their backpacks and running through the woods.
In 1932, the Executive Yuan of the National Government officially promulgated April 4 as Children's Day. Later, as June 1st of each year was designated as International Children's Day, "April 4th" Children's Day was replaced by "June 1st" Children's Day, but regions such as Hong Kong and Taiwan still follow the custom of celebrating Children's Day on April 4th.
