Teacher’s Day is the only three industry festivals in my country including Nurses’ Day and Journalists’ Day. Since 1931, our country has had four Teachers' Days with different dates and natures in different historical periods.
The earliest Teachers’ Day in our country’s history was in 1931. At that time, well-known professors in education such as Tai Shuangqiu and Cheng Qibao initiated contact with people in the education circles in Beijing and Shanghai to designate June 6 as Teachers' Day every year, and issued the "Teachers' Day Declaration", proposing to improve teachers' treatment. Three goals: ensuring teachers’ work and improving teachers’ cultivation. Although
the birth of Teachers' Day was not recognized by the Kuomintang government at the time, it had a certain impact across the country.
In view of the fact that the "June 6th" Teachers' Day was established by teachers' voluntary organizations and was not recognized by the Kuomintang government, in 1939 it was decided to establish August 27, the birthday of Confucius, as Teachers' Day
And issued the "Interim Measures to Commemorate Teachers' Day". It was not implemented nationwide at that time.
In 1951, the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Education and the All-China Federation of Trade Unions jointly agreed to regard May 1st as International Labor Day as Teachers' Day. Due to various reasons
Teachers' Day has actually gradually disappeared.
"I don't know why, but as soon as I got up that morning, I suddenly thought that teachers should have their own holiday." Professor Wang Zikun, the earliest creative person of Teacher's Day and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said this.
That was December 9, 1984. Professor Wang told the Beijing Evening News about the idea that day. The next day, "Beijing Evening News" published an article "Principal Wang Zikun
Suggests to carry out activities to respect teachers and value education month", which aroused strong response from readers. On December 15, Beijing Normal University’s Zhong Jingwen, Qi Gong, Wang Zikun, Tao Dayong, Zhu Zhixian, Huang Ji
, and Zhao Qinghuan jointly proposed the establishment of Teachers’ Day. On January 21, 1985, the ninth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Sixth National People's Congress decided to designate September 10 every year as Teachers' Day.
In order to carry forward the fine tradition of "respecting teachers and valuing education" and improving the status of teachers, the ninth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Sixth National People's Congress on January 21, 1985 determined that
each year September 10th is Teachers’ Day in China. On the first Teachers' Day, the then President Li Xiannian sent a letter of condolences to teachers across the country to congratulate the holiday. The capital held a celebration meeting with thousands of people
During Teachers' Day, 20 provinces and cities recognized 11,871 provincial-level teachers. Excellent teachers collectively and individually.
In fact, as early as 1932, the Kuomintang government designated June 6 as Teachers' Day. After liberation, Teachers' Day on June 6 was abolished and replaced by "May 1st International Labor Day".

Teachers’ Day, but teachers do not have individual activities and have no characteristics. The reason why Teachers' Day is set on September 10 is to take into account the beginning of the new school year in universities, middle schools and primary schools across the country, and schools must have a new atmosphere. When new students enter school, they begin to respect teachers and teach well, which can create a good atmosphere for "teachers teach well and students learn well."
September 10, 1985, was the first Teachers’ Day established after the restoration of China
Since then, teachers have had their own holiday
