Today is March 12, 2022, Arbor Day.
Arbor Day origin
Arbor Day in the modern sense began in 1915, when the government decreed that the "Qingming Festival" was called Arbor Day. Later, in order to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who advocated afforestation, in 1928, the National Government designated March 12, the day of Sun Yat-sen's death, as Arbor Day. After 1949, New China carried out many large-scale "greening campaigns". In 1979, the Fifth National People's Congress officially designated March 12 as Arbor Day. Since then, voluntary tree planting activities have been carried out for the whole people every year.
There is a saying in the Book of Rites: "The moon of Meng Chun, Sheng De is in wood." ”
Trees are the wealth of nature, nurturing one side of the water and the soil and the other.
