[Edit this paragraph] The origin of Father's Day
Kenichi
The first Father's Day in the world was born in the United States in 19 10. It was initiated by Mrs. Dodd who lives in Spokane, Washington, USA. Mrs. Dodd's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her sixth child, Mrs. Bruce Dodd; Mrs. Dodd's father, Mr William smart, took part in the civil war. After his wife died, he was alone on a rural farm in eastern Washington State, and took on the heavy responsibility of raising and educating six children. Mrs. Dodd is the second child and the only girl in the family. A woman's meticulous nature makes her more aware of her father's hard work: Mr. Smart works hard during the day and takes care of housework and the lives of every child when he comes home at night. After decades of hard work, the children finally grew up. Just as the children were looking forward to letting Mr. Smart enjoy his old age, Mr. Smart died on 1909 due to years of overwork. In the year when Mr Smart died, Mrs. Dodd especially missed her father, especially after attending the Mother's Day Thanksgiving service in the church. Mrs. Dodd knows that in the process of raising children, his father's love and hardship are no less than any mother's. Mrs. Dodd told Pastor Rasmus of the church how she felt and hoped to have a special day to commemorate this great father in the world. Her idea was praised by the pastor and supported by various church organizations. Mrs. Dodd immediately wrote to the mayor and the state government to express her thoughts, and suggested that her father's birthday-June 5th every year be regarded as Father's Day. The mayor of Spokane and governor of washington publicly agreed that the state government would change the holiday date to the third Sunday in June while adopting this proposal. 1910 June19, Spokane, Washington, where Mrs Dodd lives, held the first Father's Day celebration in the world. At about the same time, people in other towns in the United States began to celebrate Father's Day. On Father's Day, people choose some flowers to show their respect for their fathers. People adopted Mrs. Dodd's suggestion, wearing red roses to express their love for their living fathers and white roses to express their condolences for their dead fathers. This custom has been passed down to this day. At first, the date of Father's Day was different. Some places use dandelion as a symbol of Father's Day, while others pay tribute to their fathers with white lilacs lined with green leaves. 1924, US President Coolidge expressed support for the proposal to establish a national Father's Day. 1966, President Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday in June of that year as Father's Day in the United States. 1972, President Nixon of the United States signed an official document, which designated the third Sunday in June every year as the National Father's Day and became a permanent memorial day in the United States. Father's Day is not a holiday, and China also has its own Father's Day. The origin of Father's Day in China can be traced back to the Republic of China. On August 8th, 1945, Shanghai launched an activity to celebrate Father's Day, and the citizens responded immediately. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly requested the Shanghai Municipal Government to forward it to the central government, and designated August 8th as the National Father's Day. On Father's Day, people wear flowers to show their respect and miss for their fathers. Father's Day is not as grand as Mother's Day, but the love for parents is unparalleled.
Genji
The idea of a day to commemorate mother was first put forward in the United States in 1907. Two years later, a woman in Washington State, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, suggested that there should be a day similar to Mother's Day to pay tribute to her father. Mrs. Dodd lost her mother when she was young and was brought up by her father. She loves her father very much. In the same year that Mrs Dodd put forward her idea (1909), the governor of Washington responded by declaring the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. This idea was officially approved by President Wood Wilson in 19 16. 1924, President John Calvin Coolidge suggested making Father's Day a national holiday, so as to "establish a closer relationship between fathers and children and remind fathers of all their responsibilities". Red roses or white roses are considered as Father's Day flowers. Father's Day is established as a holiday throughout the United States, which is longer than Mother's Day. Because the idea of establishing Father's Day is very popular, businessmen and manufacturers are beginning to see business opportunities. They not only encourage children to send greeting cards to their fathers, but also encourage them to buy small gifts such as ties and socks to show their respect for their fathers. During World War II, American soldiers stationed in Britain asked to send Father's Day cards back to China. The American soldier's request was answered by the British greeting card publisher, and the greeting card was printed. Although the British public's acceptance of this artificial festival has been low, nowadays, the British celebrate Father's Day on the third Sunday in June, which is similar to the way in the United States. Father's Day seems far less important than Mother's Day. No children give gifts to their fathers. However, American fathers still think their fate is much stronger than that of fathers in many other countries, because fathers in those countries don't even have a nominal holiday.
Origin three
While celebrating Mother's Day, people have not forgotten their father's achievements. 1909, it is suggested to confirm Father's Day. It is said that Mrs John Bruce Dodd in Washington was the first person to put forward this proposal. Mrs. Dodd's mother died very early, and her father took on the heavy responsibility of raising and educating children alone. 1909, Mrs. Dodd is grateful for his father's upbringing and is going to hold a celebration for him. At the same time, thinking of all fathers' contributions to family and society, she wrote to a local clergy association and suggested that the third Sunday in June be designated as Father's Day. The association submitted the proposal to its members for discussion and was approved. 19 10 In June, people celebrated the first Father's Day here. At that time, everyone whose father died wore a white rose, while those whose father was alive wore a red rose. This custom has been passed down to this day. But in the beginning, the date of Father's Day was different. In some places, dandelions were used as symbols of Father's Day, while in others, white lilacs lined with a green leaf were used as symbols of Father's Day. It was not until June 1934 that the third Sunday in June was designated as Father's Day by the United States Congress. Later, more than 20 countries around the world commemorated Father's Day through church ceremonies, cards and gifts. The United States spends more than/kloc-0 billion dollars on gifts for 56 million respectable fathers every year, but there are almost no other kinds of gifts except ties and cigars. Many people think it is the most difficult to buy a gift for their father. In fact, there are many interesting and suitable ones.
The Origin of Father's Day in China
Can be traced back to the Republic of China. On August 8, 1934 (1August 8, 945), the Shanghai Academy of Scholars held a celebration of Father's Day. The citizens responded immediately and held a warm celebration. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, celebrities and gentlemen from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly requested the Shanghai Municipal Government to transmit it to the Nanjing Central Government, and designated August 8 as Father's Day. In fact, this provision is more in line with China culture, because the homonym of Chinese characters in China was added, and on August 8th, two eights overlapped and deformed into "father". It is necessary to point out that the China government does not stipulate that the third Sunday in June is Father's Day every year.

Later in Vancouver, people chose to wear white lilacs, and Pennsylvania people used dandelions to show their respect for their fathers.
