Still, this does not mean that our country does not respect and love mothers. On the contrary, we have been taught from an early age to honor our mothers, and the love of our country and our nation for our mothers is rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese culture, with the excellent cultural connotation of the Chinese nation and the foundation of a specific national spirit.

Ancient poetry conveys the deepest love for one's mother

Modern people have children's songs to express their love for their mothers, and in ancient times, people also used poetry to praise maternal love, and Mengjiao's popular "Wandering Son" is the pinnacle of praising maternal love, which has been passed down through the ages.

"The mother's hand is threaded, and the wanderer's shirt is clothed." The seams are tightly sewn, and I am afraid that I will be late. Whoever says anything will be rewarded with three Chunhui. The whole poem has no flowery words, no sensational words, and tells the scene of the mother sewing clothes for her children. There is no love word in the poem, but it shows the mother's deep affection for her son; there is no word of sensationalism in the poem, but it makes the mother's wordless and most innocent, selfless, and unrequited love story, which makes people cry.

"Wandering Son"

Other famous poets have written poems about their mothers. For example, Bai Juyi's "Mother and Son, Son And Mother, Dayless Crying and Suffering"; Li Shangyin's "Mother's Love Has Nothing to Repay, What Is Life To Ask For"; Li Bai's "Old Mother and Son Farewell, Calling heaven and wild grass." The white horse circled the flag, and the mournful song chased after each other."

And Jiang Shiquan's "Coming Home at Dusk" in the Qing Dynasty is one of the best works. The poem tells the scene of the poet returning home for the New Year, especially in the second half of the poem" "Meet the pity and be thin, and ask the pain." Humble and ashamed of the son of man, do not dare to sigh the wind and dust", people sigh, yu has a relationship.

"Twilight Home"

The mother was distressed about her emaciated son who had returned from a trip and asked if it was hard to work outside for a year. And "I" was originally unable to fulfill my filial piety as a son of man, and I could not bear to tell my mother about the hardships outside, which caused my mother to worry and worry. This is really like the way you workers go home at the end of the year for the New Year, in the face of the old mother's concern, they only dare to report good news and do not report worry.

Where has the time gone? Express love without waiting for Mother's Day

Whether it is ancient poetry or modern songs, in fact, its essence is the expression of the most basic and simple emotions of human beings, which are not distinguished between ancient and modern, and are not limited to China and foreign countries. In ancient times, "filial piety" was advocated, and modern people celebrate Mother's Day, which is an expression of love for mothers.

When we came into this world and made our first cry, our mother became the most important character in our lives. We have been living under the watering of maternal love, and my mother has broken her heart for our growth, bent over tiredly, and stained her head white.

Looking at the wrinkles on my mother's face, we often feel guilty that we can't often accompany my mother. So we chose to express our gratitude to our mother by writing greeting cards, sending flowers and cakes on Mother's Day.

But more importantly, in ordinary years, often care about the mother, do not need any gifts, maybe just a phone call and a text message can make the mother happy all day.

Suppose you work in the field, generally speaking, you can only go home during the New Year or the "Eleventh" long holiday in a year, and you can only stay at home for 14 days when you are full. In addition to the time spent visiting relatives and friends, there is even less time to spend with the mother. Isn't that the song "Where Has Time Gone" just like that?

So, don't wait for "Mother's Day", pick up the phone now and talk to your mother.
