What is the symbolic meaning of Mother's Day?

Festivals are the crystallization and carrier of national culture. A large part of cultural memory is the memory of festivals. Many years later, many past events have been forgotten, but the festival scenes are still vivid in my mind. At the same time, festivals have the characteristics of wide coverage, constant repetition, and both educational and entertaining, which have a profound impact on people. Therefore, major human festivals are crucial to cultivating national spirit and cohesion. The real Mother's Day should be rooted in the heart to experience the love of mother. Our Chinese Mother's Day advocates maternal love and maternal education on the one hand, as well as loving mother and being filial to parents on the other. On the other hand, parents give their children life and have an instinctive and selfless love for their children. The establishment of Chinese Mother's Day is to provide a festival for the love of parents all over the world to be demonstrated, and for the filial piety of children all over the world to be awakened and have an opportunity to express it appropriately.
