The central bank specially chose Mother's Day to issue the issue, and the intention is self-evident: to celebrate mothers all over the world, Happy Mother's Day!

Published in this commemorative coin are the four characters "Cuncao Chunhui", and the origin of these four characters idioms is what we have learned from elementary school to adulthood, symbolizing the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

It comes from the poem "Wandering Son Yin" by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. ?The thread in a loving mother’s hand, the clothes on a wanderer’s body. Before leaving, I was afraid of returning late. Whoever speaks of an inch of grass will be rewarded with three rays of spring light. ?In Baidu Encyclopedia, "Cuncao Chunhui" means that the meager kindness of the grass cannot repay the affection of the spring sunshine. It is a metaphor for the heavy kindness of parents and it is difficult to repay. Cuncao Chunhui has been quoted many times in history. For example, He Jingming in the Ming Dynasty wrote in the poem "Passing the Tombs of Ancestors to Show Peng Tianzhang": "This body is like the spring light of an inch of grass, how can I respond to the spring light of an inch of grass?"; Another example is that Fang Chengpei of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Leifeng Pagoda? Pagoda Sacrifice" Said: "The spring glow of an inch of grass has no roots, and it is useless to teach the osmanthus to spit out the strange fragrance." ?

Filial piety has been a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times. Filial piety is the first of all good deeds and the source of all evils. If you always have benevolence and filial piety, you will not be able to bear to do anything that is not allowed in the world. ?From the late Qing Dynasty's modern work "Weilu Night Talk". It means that honoring parents is the first among various virtues. If a person does not know how to honor parents, it is difficult to imagine that he will love the motherland and the people.

The story of the Twenty-Four Filial Piety has been passed down from ancient times to this day and is well known to the public. Among them is the story of Shun, the leader of an ancient Chinese tribe, whose filial piety moved heaven. According to legend, Shun's father Gusou, stepmother, and half-brother Xiang wanted to kill Shun many times. When Shun was repairing the roof of the barn, they set fire under the barn. Fortunately, Shun escaped. Not only that, they tried to kill Shun many times, but Shun escaped one by one. Not only did Shun not bear any grudge against them, he was still respectful to his father and loving to his younger brother. His filial piety moved Emperor Yao of Heaven. Emperor Yao heard about his filial piety and his ability to deal with political affairs, so he married his two daughters Ehuang and Nvying to him. After years of investigation, Shun was selected as the successor. Yao's successor. After Shun ascended the throne, instead of punishing his parents and younger brother, he made Xiang a prince and remained respectful and friendly to him.

In addition to the story of Shun, there is also the story of Emperor Liu Heng of Han Dynasty that impressed me deeply. Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng was the third son of Han Emperor Liu Bang and was born to Empress Dowager Bo. He became emperor in the eighth year of his reign. He is famous all over the world for his benevolence and filial piety. His mother had been ill for three years, but he never slacked off in serving her. She couldn't take off her clothes and couldn't blink her eyes. He would personally try all the decoctions her mother took before letting her take them. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty reigned for 24 years, emphasizing virtue, wisdom, and etiquette. During his reign, the Western Han Dynasty had social stability and economic recovery and development. Later generations will call his reign with Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty the "Government of Wen and Jing."

On Mother’s Day, the Central Bank issued the Chunhui Commemorative Coin to express its heartfelt respect to mothers all over the world, and to spread and inherit the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of respecting the elderly, loving the elderly, and being filial to parents.
