Origin of Labor Day:

International Labor Day, also known as "May Day", is a common holiday for working people all over the world. In July 1889, the Second International, led by Engels, held a congress in Paris. The conference adopted a resolution establishing a procession of international workers on 1 May 1890 and decided to designate May 1 as International Workers' Day.

May Day is an international holiday, which does not belong to the scope of traditional festivals in China, that is, May Day is not a traditional holiday. May Day is a national holiday in more than 80 countries around the world. It is scheduled for May 1 of each year. It is a festival shared by working people all over the world.

The variety of traditional Chinese festivals is an important part of China's long history and culture. The traditional Chinese festivals developed from the ancient ancestors clearly record the rich and colorful social life and cultural content of the Chinese nation, and are unique festivals of the Chinese nation.

Labor Day is coming, and for workers and student parties, the Labor Day holiday is simply a blessing. For Labor Day, many people only know the International Labor Day on May 1, but they don't know that in fact, there was Labor Day in ancient China, not on May 1, so what day is Labor Day in ancient times? When is Labor Day in ancient times?

Let's follow me to find out.

The International Labor Day, which we are now familiar with, originated from the workers' strike in Chicago, USA in 1886, and was established to commemorate the movement, so it is a holiday belonging to the working people and a national holiday in many countries.

In ancient China, there was actually its own Labor Day, on the second day of the second lunar month, it was the day when spring ploughing began, and its history can be traced back to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. According to the ancient book "Imperial Century", the head of the "Three Emperors" Fuxi "heavy agriculture and mulberry, ploughing the field", so on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar every year, the day of the beginning of spring ploughing, he will personally lead the leaders of the hidden and declining departments to "drive and plough", and hold the ceremony of "persuading the people to farm mulberry", in order to show that he attaches great importance to the stove of farming, and the people will also start to work in the fields on this day.

This festival has continued to later generations, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou would hold a grand ceremony on the second day of the second month of February, kicking off the prelude to the country's farming, and would personally lead the Manchu civil and military officials to plough the fields. During the Song and Yuan Dynasty's Shoufan period, the second day of the second month of February was not only the prelude to spring ploughing, but also the "Flower Dynasty Festival" and "Walking Green Festival". In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tradition of February 2 was still preserved.

Regardless of that period, February 2 represents the beginning of spring ploughing, a day of people's labor, and the traditional Labor Day.

It comes from the victory of the struggle for the rights and interests of the proletarian working people, and the custom is to play on vacation.

On May 1, 1886, there was a large-scale workers' strike in Chicago to fight for the legitimate rights and interests of the working class. In 1889, when socialists rallied in Paris, Engels proposed that May 1, the day of the American strike, be designated as International Labor Day to celebrate the rights and interests of workers. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, International Labor Day was set as a statutory holiday.

Since Labor Day is a worldwide international holiday, the customs vary from country to country. The main custom of Chinese Labor Day is to have a statutory holiday, on which people will travel, walk on the wheel chain to visit relatives and friends, and so on. In addition, various schools will also organize students to draw hand-copied newspapers, write articles, and perform literary and artistic performances, and some television stations will also hold some special evening parties to celebrate May Day and commemorate the legitimate rights and interests of proletarian laborers.

Labor Day is not a traditional festival in China, it is an international holiday, and this day is the festival of the working people of the world. Traditional festivals refer to festivals with Chinese characteristics, which record the rich and colorful social life and cultural content of the Chinese nation, and have the significance of cultural inheritance.
