Honoring the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. The old people for decades, for the family, for the community, for the nation to dedicate their strength. The whole society has the good will and obligation to honor the elderly and wish them a long and healthy life and a peaceful old age. The provisions of the Respect for the Elderly Day is one of its manifestations.
Before the Respect for the Elderly Day comes, it is very necessary to organize a love activity, which is a manifestation of our students to carry forward the national culture and tradition. We can organize a variety of service activities, arrange a variety of recreational activities, but also can make use of the customs of the Chongyang Festival to send blessings to the elderly and express respect.
One, the organization of service activities to the elderly home or old workers, old models, old cadres, old teachers or more than a hundred years old, the old man's home to pay a visit, cleaning, tidying up the environment, to help do housework. Especially to care for those widows and widowers of the elderly, they are a vulnerable group in society, they have no children, no children, no one to rely on, taste the sorrows of the world, and live a bleak old age. We have to treat them as their own relatives, kind words, warm greetings will make them feel relieved and happy.
Two, the organization of recreational activities for the elderly people's daily life can be said to be very calm and lonely, children are busy at work, their own activities are not very convenient, so often in a small space to live, there is no joy and vitality. Borrowing festivals we can carefully select and arrange small cultural and artistic programs, such as singing and dancing, in order to enliven the atmosphere of their lives. In the activities, we should actively involve them, even if it is just clapping and taking a walk, it will make them feel the pleasure they have not felt for a long time. At the same time, we should pay attention to the dress code, to be clean and decent, bright and colorful, in line with the festive atmosphere.
Three, the use of Chongyang Festival customs to carry out activities Chongyang Festival customs are many, the main one is to climb high hiking, eat Chongyang cake, the door insert dogwood, ornamental autumn chrysanthemums and so on. Climbing can be based on the physical condition of the elderly to do, the ability to help their climbing to see the sights. Chrysanthemum cakes are fine and can be used to honor the elderly and express blessings. The Chrysanthemum Festival coincides with the opening of the golden chrysanthemums. "The children of the world have no rhyme or reason, but only look at the Chrysanthemums on the first day of the festival". Enjoying chrysanthemums, sipping tea and reciting poems is a great fun.
In addition, no matter what activities we do, we have to maintain a care and respect in the process of getting along with the elderly, of course, the best way is to talk about the heart. You can ask about the recent health condition, diet, you can also tell the old people about some new things they encountered in life, etc., in order to achieve the purpose of communication.
In short, we should carefully organize and fully arrange all kinds of activities, not only to make the old people feel comfortable to have a good holiday, but also to make them feel that the society respects them.
