The Arbor Festival in China was initiated by forest scientists such as Ling Daoyang, Han An and Joseph Bailie in 19 15, and the time was originally set in Tomb-Sweeping Day every year. 1928, the National Government changed Arbor Day to March 12 to commemorate the third anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's death. 1979 after the founding of new China, at the suggestion of Deng Xiaoping, the 6th meeting of the 5th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) decided to designate 12 as China Arbor Day every year.

Arbor Day slogan:

Vigorously plant trees and prohibit indiscriminate logging.

One more green leaf, one more touch of color and one more warmth.

Cherish green and cherish our common home.

Trees are planted, which seldom provide shade.
