As the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday is approaching, in fact, Children's Day is also coming. Many people must not know that every year's Tomb-Sweeping Day, due to the influence of the solar term caused by the movement of the sun, is held between 4/4 and 4/6. Tomb-Sweeping Day may fall on any three days, but Children’s Day is fixed on April 4th!
Because the twenty-four solar terms are determined based on the position of the sun in the sky, and the twenty-four solar terms are actually a moment, not a day. Therefore, including Qingming Festival (yellow longitude is 15), each solar term will fluctuate within a three-day range; this is why Qingming Festival is not necessarily April 5th in the national calendar, but sometimes April 4th. , sometimes even April 6th.
However, in 1931, the Chinese Salesian Association proposed that April 4 be designated as Children's Day because "it is spring and the climate is suitable." After approval by the Executive Yuan, Article 5 of the "Regulations on the Implementation of Memorial Days and Holidays" stipulates that April 4 is Children's Day. Relevant agencies, groups, and schools will hold celebration activities and have a national holiday.
The law was revised again in 2012. If it falls on the same day as Qingming Festival, the holiday will be on April 3, the previous day. If it falls on a Thursday, the holiday will be on the next day.
Just like this year's Tomb-Sweeping Day falls on April 4th, but because that day happens to be Thursday again, it goes without saying that the Friday after the following day is a compensatory holiday for Children's Day, forming a continuous holiday that connects the Saturday and Sunday in red letters at the end. Four days.
Have you clarified this little allusion a little bit? In fact, when I was a child, I really couldn’t figure out the relationship between Qingming Festival and Children’s Day. Moreover, when I looked at the calendar every year, the day would often jump around.
There are also elders who will make inexplicable nonsense. For example, because Qingming is to commemorate the passing of a life, so it is celebrated with another newborn child, so it is designated as the same day. Such nonsense is made up by their own imagination.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is also known as the National Tomb-Sweeping Festival. Originally, after the Nationalist Government was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, it was decided that Tomb-Sweeping Day would not be a holiday. It was not until 1972 that the government changed Tomb-Sweeping Day into a national holiday, giving the entire country a day off.
April 5, 1975 coincided with the death of Chiang Kai-shek. In order to commemorate the late President of the Republic of China, the government designated that day as the death anniversary of the late President Chiang Kai-shek and held a holiday on this day.
It was not until 2007 that the liberals rose up and carried out a series of de-Chiangization policies. They abolished the anniversary of the death of former President Chiang Kai-shek, renamed the related Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to Freedom Square, and removed a series of cast bronze statues! It symbolizes that the people of Taiwan have stopped worshiping political figures, ended the long-term one-party dictatorship of the Chinese Kuomintang, and become a democratic society with freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. During this period, some media mistakenly thought that the Tomb-Sweeping Day was to be cancelled. A series of false reports.
The purpose of Children's Day is to encourage all countries around the world to establish a holiday for children. Firstly, it is to promote mutual communication and understanding between adults and children, and secondly, it is to ask people to take actions to benefit and promote The welfare of the world's children, and with the goal of promoting the establishment of the United Nations Charter to protect the welfare of children. A festival established to protect children's rights to survival, health care, education, custody and other rights, improve children's lives, and oppose child abuse and poisoning.
