Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's
Day,but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from abroad.
Mother's Day originated(起源)in America during the early 20 th century.The festival
spread to China as early as the 1980 s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China?In fact,Chinese traditional cul-
ture has always encouraged filial(孝顺的)devotion to parents.There are many stories
which show filial respect in ancient China.For example,the story of “ Taste Liquid(液体
的)Medicine for Mother ” tells us the filial virtue(美德)of Emperor Wen off the Western
Han Dynasty.His mother had been sick for three years.He often stayed up by her bed-
side and looked after her day and night.He tasted the liquid medicine first before she
drank it.Also,mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems,like “ Song of
the Parting Son "(《游子吟》)by Meng Jiao,a poet of the Tang Dynasty.Now this poem
is still a must in the school textbooks.Children in China are brought up with the
education of filial devotion.
On special days,people often use roses or forget-me-not s to express love.
Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world,but few
know that China has its own for mothers-the tiger lily.
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression.The most important thing is
love,not the festival itself.What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression
of love from their children.
