The origin of international children's day
Children are the future masters of the country. Therefore, how to provide a good family, social or learning environment for children is the goal of all countries in the world. The concept of "International Children's Day" was first put forward by 1925 at the International Child Welfare Conference held in Geneva, Switzerland.
At this conference, representatives from 54 countries that care for children gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, to hold the "International Conference on Children's Happiness" and adopted the Geneva Declaration on the Protection of Children. In the declaration, there were heated discussions on children's spiritual enjoyment, assistance to poor children, avoiding children from engaging in dangerous work, giving children a chance to make a living, and how to save and raise children.
Since this congress, on the one hand, in order to inspire children and make them feel happy, on the other hand, in order to attract social attention and care, governments all over the world have designated "Children's Day" one after another.
Especially during the Second World War, in June of 1942, German fascists shot and killed 140 male citizens over the age of 0/6 and all their babies in Dize village, Tekly, and took women and 90 children to concentration camps. All the houses and buildings in the village were burned down, and a good village was destroyed by German fascists. In order to mourn the children who died in the fascist war of aggression in Lidice village and other parts of the world, to oppose the abuse and poisoning of children by imperialist warmongers, and to protect children's rights, the International Democratic Women's Federation held an executive committee in Moscow in June 1949+0 1, and formally decided that June 1 every year would be International Children's Day.
1 951April, the international democratic women's Federation held a meeting in Moscow, the Soviet Union, and decided that June1day every year would be International Children's Day. The resolution calls for the protection of children's rights to survival, health care and education in all countries of the world. It is pointed out that all democratic groups and adult men and women in the world should oppose the employment of boys and girls, and the state should protect children's health and meet their needs by cutting military spending.
1949 65438+In February, the International Democratic Women's Federation held a meeting in Moscow. At the meeting, representatives of working women in China and other countries in the world exposed the crimes of imperialism and reactionaries in various countries persecuting children. In order to protect the basic rights of children all over the world, such as the right to life, health care and education, the General Assembly designated June 1 day as International Children's Day. February 23rd 1949 1949 the State Council, the Central People's Government of People's Republic of China (PRC), issued a notice, stipulating that "June 1st" International Children's Day is a festival for children in China.
Children's Day is a festival for children all over the world, and it is also a day for the whole world to love peace and fight for children's rights to survival, health and education. 1925, the International Association for the Promotion of Children's Happiness held its first international conference. After it published the Principles on Children's Welfare, some countries successively stipulated Children's Day, such as10,31in the United States and 7 1 in the United Kingdom.
After the end of World War II, the world economy was depressed, and thousands of workers lost their jobs and lived a life of hunger and cold. The situation of children is even worse, and some are infected with infectious diseases and die in batches; Others are forced to work as child laborers, tortured, and their lives are not guaranteed. In order to fight for the children's rights of survival, safety and education all over the world, and to strengthen the friendship among children in various countries, the International Democratic Women's Federation held an executive committee in Moscow on June 1 June 9491/and formally decided that June1was the International Children's Day.
China's Children's Day is held in 193 1 as early as April 4th every year at the suggestion of the Salesian Society of China. After the founding of New China, the working people became the masters of the country, and the children also became the small masters of the country. In order to cultivate children's spirit of internationalism, 1949 February, 1949 The State Council of the Central People's Government issued a notice to abolish the old "4 4" Children's Day and designated June 1 day as China Children's Day. Unified with "June 1st" International Children's Day. Since then, every year on this day, children all over the country will hold various activities to celebrate their festivals. Many public places of entertainment are open to children free of charge. On this day, all organs, organizations and enterprises also give gifts to employees' children and kindergarten children. This is the happiest day for children.
At present, many countries in the world have designated June 1 as Children's Day, especially socialist countries. In Europe and the United States, the date of Children's Day is different, and public celebrations are rarely held. Therefore, it is often misunderstood that only socialist countries will designate June 1 as Children's Day. In fact, in recent years, some organizations in the United States have also begun to consider setting Children's Day in June 1.

Poetry about Children's Day
Flowers bloom, laughter is sweet,
The noodles in June are fragrant.
White ducks swim in clear water,
Shuang Mu paddles and swings to draw a boat.
Chang 'e envies Children's Day,
Weaver girl is too lazy to be a fairy.
Who is in charge of Yaotai?
Xin Lei in her childhood.
In the days of flowers and noise
June bid farewell to the season of spring breeze.
Shining.
To be clear, my heart is about to explode.
Jade curtains slowly opened.
Little angel with makeup on the stage
Let the baby talk in detail.
The tree is full of brilliant stories.
The sky is as blue as water.
The sun on June 1st.
Why is it so brilliant?
Flowers of June 1st.
Why does it smell so good?
"June 1" red scarf
Why is it so bright?
Children of "June 1st"
Why are you so happy? ...
You know, he knows,
Everybody knows that.
The youngest festival in the world.
Has arrived,
The most naive festival in the world
Right now.
Song of "June 1"
Why is it so beautiful?
"June 1" dance
Why are you so sentimental?
The story of "June 1st"
Why is it so attractive?
"June 1" rally
Why are you so happy? ...
You know, he knows,
Everyone knows that.
Songs and dances, stories, parties
Express children's happiness,
Today's Miao,
Grow into a towering tree.
We are eagles out of the nest,
It will fly high tomorrow.
We are little flowers in bud,
Tomorrow will be colorful and charming.
We are who we are,
The red scarf burns on the chest.
Please see you tomorrow.
We will lift mountains and stir rivers,
Hold up the modern motherland,
Fly to the golden goal ...
I want to live in a world that will never grow up.
People are naive and kind, and don't hurt each other.
Even if you quarrel, you will make up soon.
Even if you cry, it will stop soon.
In the bedroom, in the playground, by the river.
Just like our toys.
The sky is blue and the earth is white.
Wherever you go, there are small windmills.
Little wooden horse, little flower
Show a shy smile
The world today is depressing.
I don't like it This cannot be changed.
Especially when time sends us to youth.
Step into middle age and old age
We live a hard life and enjoy it.
There is only one night every year.
Spent a little time.
There is only one night every year.
Think of distant things
Opposed to moving, eclipsed.
