How did Father's Day come about in China? Is it the same day as in foreign countries?
We all know that China attaches great importance to filial piety, so why is Father's Day a foreign holiday? In fact, China has its own Father's Day. Let us learn more about it. The fifth month of the lunar calendar is considered a poisonous month in Chinese folklore. It is known as the most poisonous month of the year. The Fortune Teller website will help you understand the days of the fifth lunar month in 2018!Which is Father's Day in China?Father's Day is not an imported holiday. China also has its own Father's Day. The origin of Father's Day in China can be traced back to the Republic of China period. On August 8, 1945, Shanghai launched an event to celebrate Father's Day and the citizens responded immediately. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly requested the Shanghai Municipal Government to submit to the central government to designate August 8, which is homophonic with "dad", as the national Father's Day. On Father's Day, people wear flowers to express their respect and miss for their fathers.There is no official Father's Day in mainland China. However, people in mainland China usually use the third Sunday of June as Father's Day; Father's Day in Taiwan is August 8th. This is because "baba" (88) is similar to "dad" (daddy), and the two words together look like the word "father", so Father's Day is specially set on August 8th. What are the customs of Father's Day?On Father's Day, people choose specific flowers to show their respect for their fathers. People adopted Mrs. Dodd's suggestion and wore red roses to show their love for living fathers and white roses to mourn their deceased fathers. Later in Vancouver, people chose to wear white lilacs, and Pennsylvanians used dandelions to pay tribute to their fathers. Red or white roses are the recognized flowers for Father's Day. It took longer for Father's Day to be established as a holiday across the United States than it did for Mother's Day. Because the idea of establishing Father's Day was so popular, businessmen and manufacturers began to see business opportunities. They not only encourage children to send greeting cards to their fathers, but also encourage them to buy small gifts such as ties and socks for their fathers to express their respect for their fathers. |
