Is Children's Day a traditional Chinese festival?

No, Children's Day is not a traditional Chinese festival. It is one of the important international festivals.
The establishment of International Children's Day is related to a massacre that occurred during World War II - the Lidice Massacre.
On June 10, 1942, German fascists shot and killed more than 140 male citizens over the age of 16 and all babies in the Czech village of Lidice, and took the women and 90 children to concentration camps. All the houses and buildings in the village were burned down. A good village was destroyed by the German fascists. After the end of World War II, the economy was in depression all over the world, and thousands of workers were unemployed and lived a life of hunger and cold. The situation of children was even worse. Some contracted infectious diseases and died in large numbers; others were forced to work as child laborers, suffering torture, and their lives and lives were not guaranteed.
In order to mourn the Lidice massacre and all the children who died in wars around the world, to oppose the killing and poisoning of children, and to protect the rights of children, the International Democratic Women's Federation held a board meeting in Moscow in November 1949. Representatives from various countries angrily exposed the crimes of imperialists and reactionaries in various countries in killing and poisoning children.
In order to protect the right to survival, health care and education of children in all countries of the world and to improve the lives of children, the meeting decided to designate June 1st of each year as International Children's Day.

In order to protect the rights and interests of children all over the world, in November 1949, the International Democratic Women's Federation held an executive committee meeting in Moscow and decided to designate June 1 of each year as International Children's Day.
After the founding of New China, the State Council of the Central People's Government stipulated on December 23, 1949, to unify China's Children's Day with International Children's Day.

The first International Children's Day in New China is celebrated

On June 1, 1950, the little masters of New China welcomed the first International Children's Day.
Children are the future of the motherland. However, before liberation, the majority of the working people's children were deprived of the right to receive education, and also deprived of a happy childhood. After the founding of New China, the Party and the government attached great importance to the healthy growth of children. Despite the insufficient material conditions and numerous difficulties in the early days of liberation, the Party Central Committee still attached importance to the all-round development of children.
In November 1949, the Council of the International Democratic Women's Federation decided that June 1st would be International Children's Day.
The newly established Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China decided to designate this day as China's Children's Day.
The Party Central Committee attached great importance to the first Children's Day in New China. In order to prepare for the celebration of Children's Day on June 1 and respond to the appeal issued by the Democratic Women's Federation and other groups to "protect children's rights and strive for peace", 11 people's organizations and relevant departments of the Central People's Government in my country have specially formed a preparatory committee.
Mao Zedong wrote the inscription: "Celebrate Children's Day".
Commander-in-Chief Zhu earnestly hoped that "the children of New China will love the motherland, love science, love labor, and be ready to build New China well."
Party and state leaders such as Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Soong Ching Ling and Deng Yingchao also wrote inscriptions for the children.
On this day, 5,000 children gathered at the Zhongshan Park Concert Hall in Beijing to celebrate their own festival. Children and mothers from the Soviet Union, North Korea and other countries were also invited to attend the party.
Commander-in-Chief Zhu was very concerned about the healthy growth of the children. He said: "Although you are still young, you must study hard, learn all kinds of scientific knowledge, and make your body strong, so that you can prepare to participate in the work of building a new China and turn a poor and backward China into a China with a highly cultural and strong industrial base."
On this day, children from all over the country held parties.
From then on, every June 1st, various activities are organized across the country to celebrate the Children's Festival. The Party and the government are very concerned about the healthy growth of children and have created a good environment for their life and study. The children of New China are thriving under the sunshine of the Party.
