First, the origin of Arbor Day
In order to stimulate people's feelings of loving forests and afforestation, improve people's understanding of forest functions, promote land greening, achieve the purpose of loving forests and protecting forests, expand forest resources and improve the ecological environment, China has designated March 12 as Arbor Day every year to encourage people of all ethnic groups to actively participate in the team of greening the motherland and improving the environment. Students should also actively participate in tree planting activities and strive for each child to plant a tree by himself every year!
Due to the evolution of the times, the Arbor Day in China has been revised three times.
Sun Yat-sen was also the first person in modern China who strongly advocated afforestation. Li Shang Hongzhang's Book, a political document drafted by him himself, pointed out that in order to be strong, China must urgently popularize agricultural science and attach importance to tree art. After the Revolution of 1911, in the fourth year of the Republic of China (19XX), at the initiative of Sun Yat-sen, Zhou Ziqi, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, presented the president-in-waiting, designated Tomb-Sweeping Day as Arbor Day every year, selected tree species, and the participation of governments, institutions and schools at all levels in the country was 7.
17 (1928) After the Northern Expedition was completed, the XXX government issued an order to the whole country on April 7: The Qingming Arbor Day in the old calendar should be changed to plant trees to commemorate the death of the Prime Minister. 18 (1929) On February 9, the Ministry of Agriculture and Mines promulgated the Provisional Regulations on Tree Planting in Commemorating the Death of the Prime Minister in Provinces by ministerial order. Yi Peiji, Minister of Agriculture and Mines of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, actively advocated planting trees according to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's wishes, and submitted it to the Executive Yuan and the National Government in February of the Republic of China 19 (1930). March 9 to 15 is the publicity week of tree planting campaign, and a tree planting ceremony will be held on the anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's death on 12. In the northern region, it is early March, and the cold has not disappeared, so it is not suitable for planting trees. It is specially stipulated that tree planting will still be held on March 12, and the greening publicity activities will be extended to Tomb-Sweeping Day this week. And by the Ministry of Land and Resources announced the "provincial, municipal and county afforestation campaign publicity week program" 7, so that all localities can follow suit. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), 1979 February, at the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth NPC, Luo Yuchuan, director of the General Administration of Forestry, submitted the Forest Law (Trial Draft) for consideration, and explained the decision to designate March 12 as China Arbor Day, which was adopted by the General Assembly. 19811February 13, the Fourth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress discussed and adopted a resolution on launching a nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign. Since then, the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign has been implemented as a law throughout the country. The following year, the State Council promulgated the "Implementation Measures for Carrying out the National Voluntary Tree Planting Campaign".
