The Origin of Father's Day

It began around the beginning of the twentieth century. The date of Father's Day varies from country to country, and there are also various ways to celebrate it, most of which involve giving gifts, family gatherings or activities. There are 52 countries and regions in the world that celebrate Father's Day on the third Sunday of June every year. Corresponding to Father's Day is Mother's Day. Mother's Day in the West is on the second Sunday in May.
Dating back to the Republic of China era. On August 8, 1945, Shanghai literati initiated an event to celebrate Father's Day, and the citizens immediately responded and held enthusiastic celebrations. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, celebrities and gentlemen from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly requested the Shanghai Municipal Government to submit a report to the Nanjing Central Government to designate August 8, which is homophonic to "Dad", as Father's Day. In fact, this rule is more in line with Chinese culture because it incorporates the homophony of Chinese characters, and the two eights in August 8th overlap and transform into "father". It is necessary to point out that the Chinese government has not officially stipulated that the third Sunday in June be Father's Day.
