Chinese Language Day
In 2010, the United Nations Department of Public Information (now the Department of Global Communications ) announced the launch of the United Nations Language Day. This initiative aims to celebrate the use of multiple languages and cultural diversity, and to promote the equal use of the six official languages in the United Nations. Among them, the Ministry of Information has set the Chinese Day as the “Gu Yu” of the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar to commemorate the contribution of Cangjie, “the ancestor of Chinese characters”.
Over the years, the United Nations Chinese Day has become a window for people to understand Chinese culture. Every year around Chinese Day, the United Nations Headquarters in New York will launch a series of colorful activities, including painting exhibitions, Chinese learning forums, special lectures, fashion and traditional opera exhibitions, etc.
In addition, United Nations offices in Geneva, Bangkok, Nairobi, Vienna, and other United Nations agencies will also hold exhibitions, lectures, fun knowledge tests and other activities to highlight the charm of Chinese and Chinese culture.
