Holiday meaning
In October 1919, the President held the autumn ceremony to worship Confucius, and at the same time organized the Four Cun Society, with the purpose of "Changming" and "Zhou Gong Confucius". In 1921, the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations on Commendation" was revised to further strengthen the feudal etiquette. Liang Qichao and Liang Shuming sang the theory of Chinese cultural superiority, opposed learning Western culture, opposed the Chinese revolutionaries, and resisted Marxism at the same time. In the May Fourth Movement, people opposed to Chinese morality, ideology and culture promoted the New Culture Movement, and even put forward slogans such as "Down with the Confucian Store" and "Down with the Chastity Memorial Arch". The May Fourth Movement further promoted the development of anti-feudal ideology, and formed a tit-for-tat situation with respect to the retro thoughts of Chinese culture. Most of the ideological origin of China's language policy comes from the Westernization theory during the May Fourth Movement.

If the fee is paid, you can apply to join the Chinese Communist Youth League.
Group members who are at least 28 years old and do not hold positions within the group should go through the procedures for leaving the group. This means that the age limit for the youth enjoying the holiday is exactly the same as the group members.
