Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged to show our deep love to parents.

For example, “mother love” is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son 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 thanking our parents.

For example, “mother love” is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son 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 thanking our parents. On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express love. Carnations (康乃馨) are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flower for mothers—the tiger lily.
