Mother's Day is in mbth. Mother's flowers are day lilies and carnations.
Mother's Day in the modern sense originated in the United States, but it has a much longer history in China.
After the American Civil War, anna jarvis's mother thought that the mother who lost her son should be given a comfort and an anniversary, and hoped that someone could create a Mother's Day to praise mothers all over the world. After her mother died, anna jarvis was determined to realize her long-cherished wish. To this end, she appealed to the society and won strong support from all sides. 19 14, the US Senate and House of Representatives designated the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day every year, and stipulated that every family should hang the national flag during the festival to show their respect for their mothers.
And Mrs Jarvis's favorite carnation flower has also become the mother flower (carnation, also known as Dutch Dianthus, carnation, is a flowering plant of Dianthus). According to custom, on Mother's Day, people wear carnations on their chests: white carnations for those whose mothers died, and red carnations for those whose mothers are alive. Sometimes, pink carnations are given to mothers to show their respect.
The most native Mother's Day in China is the Orchid Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. Magnolia is a transliteration of Sanskrit Ullambana, which means "upside down". The basin belongs to China, and it is a right vessel. The combined "eye bug basin" is a legendary ritual of crossing ancestors.
On July 15 in Buddhism, the Kasahara Festival has two meanings: one is to educate people to support religious monks, and the other is to advocate filial piety. Thus, the annual Bonin Festival or Bonin Festival was formed in the Han nationality Buddhism temples. Buddhists have the habit of offering sacrifices to their dead ancestors on July 15 in the summer calendar to comfort and commemorate their mothers who are still alive.
After that, the Kasahara Festival gradually became a custom, and both the imperial court and the people held activities on July 15, which became a national ceremony and a folk festival of filial piety, in order to transcend ancestors and repay Zude. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival on July 15 can also be called "Mother's Day" in China.
