On this day, the ancient Greeks paid tribute to Hera, the mother of the Greek gods. Of course, the ancient people's worship of goddesses was nothing more than superstition, which is very different from people's respect for motherhood today. The modern Mother's Day originated in the United States and was initiated by Anna Jarvis, who remained unmarried throughout her life and always stayed with her mother. Anna Jarvis started the campaign in 1907 to apply for Mother's Day to be made a legal holiday. The festival officially began on May 10, 1908 in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, USA. The Origin of Mother's Day in ChinaIt is said that a long time ago, there was a beach on the outskirts of Xiongyue City. There was a poor family by the sea, consisting of only a mother and her son, who depended on each other for survival. The mother loves her son very much and hopes that he will study hard and achieve academic success in the future. In order to support her son's education, she worked hard in the fields during the day and spun yarn and wove cloth at night. That year, the imperial court held a major examination to select talents, and his son decided to go to Beijing to take the exam. The mother worked in the fields during the day and wove at night, waiting for her son to return. However, there has been no news from his son. The mother was worried, so she went to the beach to look out every day. Until the elderly mother turned into a stone statue, she still did not see her son return.The villagers were moved by the great maternal love, and named the towering Duxiu Peak "Wanger Mountain". They built the Motherly Tower on the top of the mountain and the Motherly Pavilion at the foot of the mountain so that future generations could remember the mother's ordinary yet great kindness. To this day, the people of Bayuquan still retain the ancient custom of respecting and loving their mothers. On Mother's Day in May every year, various activities to respect and love mothers are carried out. |
