Why is Teacher's Day on September 10th?

New semester, new atmosphere

Teachers' Day was set on September 10th because a new school year has begun for universities, middle schools and primary schools across the country and schools need a new atmosphere. From the moment new students enter school, they begin to respect teachers and attach importance to education, which can create a good atmosphere for "teachers to teach well and students to learn well". According to records at the time, when determining the date of Teacher's Day, people considered setting it in February, March and September, but September was felt to be better because February was only the beginning of one semester, while September was the beginning of a school year. If it is too early, the students have not started school yet, and if it is too late, it will affect the classes.

The Origin of Teachers' Day

In fact, as early as 1932, the Kuomintang government first agreed to designate June 6 as Teachers' Day, and then changed it to August 27 (Confucius' birthday). After liberation, Teachers' Day on June 6 was abolished and replaced by "May 1 International Labor Day" as Teachers' Day, but teachers do not have separate activities and have no characteristics. It was not until January 21, 1985 that the Ninth Session of the Standing Committee of the Sixth National People's Congress made a resolution to designate September 10 of each year as my country's Teachers' Day. Therefore, September 10th is now Teacher's Day for us.
