Mother’s Day is a warm festival celebrated all over the world. In China, we have our own days to show
for our mothers. There are two traditional Chinese Mother’s Days.
The first one is on the second day of the fourth lunar month. It is the birthday of Mencius (孟子), a
ancient thinker (思想家). His mother was a very wise (明智的) woman. She moved their home three times to give her son a good
for learning. This festival is to show our love for great mothers
Mencius’s mother.
The second one is on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. On this day, Yellow Emperor, the ancestor (祖先) of the Chinese people, married Leizu. Leizu taught people how to raise silkworms (养蚕) and make
