Before the founding of New China, two versions of Teachers' Day appeared.
The first was the "June 6" version of Teachers' Day , which was established in 1931 by people in the education industry, aiming to call for the improvement of to improve the treatment of teachers.
The second is Teacher's Day "August 27th" established by the Ministry of Education of the Kuomintang government in 1939. However, the former was not recognized by the Kuomintang government, while the latter was not implemented nationwide due to war and other reasons. It was not until September 10, 1985 that teachers across the country ushered in their first Teachers' Day.
In March 1981, at the fourth meeting of the Fifth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, 17 CPPCC members of the China Democratic Promotion Association jointly submitted a proposal: It is recommended to determine the date and content of the national teacher's festival.
In January 1985, the Premier of the State Council proposed a proposal to establish Teachers' Day at the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress passed this proposal and determined that September 10 of each year is Teachers' Day.
As of 2022, it is the 38th Teachers' Day in my country.
The significance of Teacher's Day
"Respect for teachers and education" is a fine traditional culture in China. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty in the 11th century BC, it was proposed that "disciples serve teachers and respect them as their fathers."
The word teacher has two meanings, "refers to both a social role and the bearer of this role."
The original intention of setting up Teachers' Day is to form a social trend of respecting teachers and respecting talents, promote the construction of the teaching team, and mobilize the enthusiasm of teachers to teach and educate.
At this point, "Thank you for your hard work, teacher!"
