Chinese Language Day is celebrated on April 20th each year. It was established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote multilingualism and cultural diversity.
April 20th was chosen as Chinese Language Day to coincide with the date when Cangjie, a mythical figure in ancient China, is traditionally believed to have invented Chinese characters. The Chinese writing system, with its rich history and complexity, is one of the oldest writing systems still in use today.
Chinese Language Day aims to celebrate the beauty and cultural significance of the Chinese language, as well as to raise awareness about the importance of linguistic diversity and language learning. It provides an opportunity for people around the world to explore and appreciate the Chinese language and its contributions to human civilization.
