Introduction to the Development of Labor Day
As a product of the European and American workers' movement, Labor Day originated from the struggle of European and American workers for an eight-hour working day at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century.
It was introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
As a new thing introduced from the west, it was gradually spread and developed in China under the conditions of the growing workforce, increasing strength and the widespread rise of the workers' movement in modern China.
Although it was imported, it played an important role in the development history of modern workers' movement in China.
Whether in modern times or in modern times, workers are a group that needs special attention, and Labor Day, as a collective festival of this group, deserves the same attention.
It is generally believed that the modern workers' movement in China really developed after the 1920s. 19 19 The May 4th Movement broke out, which marked that workers entered the historical stage as an independent political force and showed great strength from the very beginning.
It is from this period that the commemoration of "Labor Day" was really held widely and on a large scale.
It was in 19 19 that Labor Day was truly introduced in an all-round way, and commemorative activities were widely publicized and expanded in the society. Li Dazhao is one of the important propaganda and organization figures.
The May 4th Movement made the workers' collective identity, or class identity, improved unprecedentedly. The broad masses of workers began to realize the existence of their own strength, began to pay more attention to realizing their own interests, and at the same time made all sectors of society pay more attention to this group.
It is under such a general trend that since the 1920s, the commemoration of May Day has been held on a larger scale.
