The origin and significance of Arbor Day in 2014
When is Arbor Day in 2014? Arbor Day 2014 is Wednesday, March 12, 2014, the twelfth day of the second lunar month.
The origin of Arbor Day: March 12th every year is Arbor Day in our country. In fact, this day is the anniversary of the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. This day is determined to be Arbor Day, firstly, considering the tree planting season; secondly, to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s achievements in advocating afforestation throughout his life. Sun Yat-sen was the first person in modern Chinese history to realize the importance of forests and advocate afforestation. In the political document "Li Hongzhang Shu" drafted by him personally, he proposed that if China wants to be strong, it must "rapidly develop agriculture and pay attention to arboriculture." After the Revolution of 1911, Dr. Sun Yat-sen proposed a large-scale afforestation plan in northern and central China. In 1924, he emphasized in a speech in Guangzhou: The fundamental way for us to prevent floods and droughts is to continue to plant trees, and to build large-scale forests. In addition, he repeatedly emphasized the dangers of deforestation and the importance of afforestation in many books and speeches, and practiced it by planting trees himself. Under the initiative of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, my country first stipulated that Qingming Festival be Arbor Day on July 30, 1915. After Sun Yat-sen passed away on March 12, 1925, it was decided to designate March 12, the date of Sun Yat-sen's death, as Arbor Day to commemorate his contribution in promoting afforestation.
The significance of Arbor Day: 1. Arbor Day helps to raise the awareness of the whole society about tree planting, greening and beautifying the environment, and promotes the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. 2. Arbor Day is conducive to promoting the development of land greening and ecological environment construction, and plays a role in expanding mountain forest resources, preventing soil erosion, protecting farmland, regulating climate, and promoting economic development. 3. Arbor Day is conducive to motivating the whole nation to actively participate in afforestation activities, protect forestry resources, beautify the environment, maintain ecological balance, and improve the human living environment.
As we all know: the earth is becoming desertified, and the area covered by deserts is increasing year by year - but we seem to feel that these are still far away from us. In fact, the significance of Arbor Day is not that everyone should plant a tree on Arbor Day, but that through the coming of Arbor Day again, people's awareness of environmental protection will continue to increase and they will pay more attention to issues of greening and environmental protection. And we understand that tree planting is a major event for all mankind and a great cause that benefits future generations.
