The origin of Arbor Day is 50 words.

March 12 is the anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's death. Dr. Sun Yat-sen attached great importance to forestry construction before his death. Shortly after the establishment of the Nanjing government of the Republic of China, in which he served as interim president, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was established in May 19 12, and the Forestry Department was in charge of the State Forestry Administration.

The significance of Arbor Day:

Trees are the lungs of the earth. I hope everyone can protect trees and trees and make city life greener! Protecting trees means protecting the earth and protecting us!

But for all of us, Arbor Day means more than just planting a tree. The significance of Arbor Day to us is not only to plant more trees, but also to cultivate the concept of caring for nature and living a low-carbon life for our general public.

19811February 13, the fourth session of the Fifth National People's Congress discussed and adopted a resolution on launching a nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign. This is the first major resolution made by the highest organ of state power on greening the motherland since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). Since then, the national voluntary tree planting campaign has been implemented nationwide as a law.

On 1982 Arbor Day, Comrade Deng Xiaoping set an example and planted the first tree of voluntary tree planting in Yuquan Mountain.

The general provisions of the Forest Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which was revised at the 7th meeting of the 6th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) in September, stipulate that "planting trees and protecting forests are citizens' obligations", and afforestation is included in the legal scope.

1990 March 12, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued a set of four stamps for "greening the motherland". The first stamp is "voluntary tree planting by the whole people".

On March 201September 1 1 day, the 40th anniversary of China Arbor Day and the issuing ceremony of the first commemorative stamp for Arbor Day were held in Beijing. The first commemorative stamp issued on "China Arbor Day" is 1 set 1 piece with a face value of 1.20 yuan.
