The Origin of Children's Day

Children's Day is not a holiday that was created out of thin air. There is a real history behind it:
During World War II, the German fascists launched a brutal massacre. They imprisoned women and children and burned down many houses and buildings. The economy was in depression all over the world and everyone lived a life of hunger and cold. Many children died of infectious diseases, while others were forced to work as child laborers and suffered all kinds of torture. Their lives were not guaranteed.
After the end of World War II, in order to commemorate the children who died in the war, oppose child abuse, protect the right to survival, health care and education of children in all countries, and improve children's lives, it was decided at the 1949 International Democratic Federation Conference to designate June 1st of each year as International Children's Day.

Which Children's Day is it in 2020?

On March 30, 1950, the old Children's Day on April 4 was abolished. On June 1, 1951, the International Children's Day was named. 1951 was the first Children's Day, so 2020 is the 70th Children's Day.

Children's Day around the world

"China:
Since 1949, the People's Republic of China has officially designated June 1st of each year as International Children's Day. Schools generally organize relevant group activities for this purpose and require students to dress formally (white shirts and blue trousers before the popularization of school uniforms). Although Hong Kong is now part of the Republic, the date of Children's Day in Hong Kong remains the same as that of the Republic of China, on April 4, under popular convention. The common way of celebrating is to give toys and gifts to children, or to take the children out for a big meal or outing.
》Japan: Three Children's Days a Year <br /> Japan is the country in the world that celebrates Children's Day the most. They celebrate Children's Day three times a year, and the way they celebrate is very interesting and full of Japanese style.
1. March 3 is Girls' Day, a holiday specially set up for little girls in Japan. On this day, parents with daughters will set up a display stand at home and put beautiful girl dolls wearing Japanese kimonos on the stand as holiday gifts for their daughters.
2. On May 5th, Boy's Day, in order to wish the boys in the family health and happiness, every household in Japan will use paper or cloth to make colorful ribbons shaped like carp, then string these ribbons on bamboo poles, tie them together with golden windmills, and hang them on the roof. The reason for doing this is that the Japanese believe that carp are the most energetic and vibrant, and they hope that all boys in the family will be like carp, so this day is also called "Carp Day."
At the same time, Japanese parents will also place dolls at home on this day, but they are all dressed as samurai and look scary.
3. November 15th is "Shichi-Go-San" Children's Day. In Japanese customs, three, five and seven years old are three particularly lucky ages for children, so on this day every year, there will be a lively celebration for children of these three ages.
On this day, children will wear their best traditional kimonos and carry a small paper bag with patterns of pine trees, turtles or cranes painted on it. The bag will be filled with candies and toys bought by their parents. After dressing up, parents will take their children to the Japanese shrine to pray and thank the gods for bringing health and happiness to their children.
》Colombia: Wearing masks and acting like clowns on Children's Day <br /> Colombia, a Central American country, designates July 4 as Children's Day. During this festival, schools across the country hold various lively celebrations. Children often put on various masks, dress up as clowns and play in the streets happily.
》Brazil: See a doctor and get an injection, health comes first <br /> Brazil’s Children’s Day is on August 15, which also happens to be Brazil’s “National Epidemic Prevention Day”. Therefore, every time this day comes, doctors from all over the country will see children and give children under the age of 5 years old vaccinations against polio, showing that the government cares very much about children's health. In addition, October 12, Brazil's "Miracle of the Virgin Mary Day", is often celebrated as Children's Day, and there are celebrations across the country.
The editor has something to say: The origin of every festival is a long history. If you are interested in learning about it, I believe you will definitely gain something!
