After the Revolution of 1911, Dr. Sun Yat-sen put forward the plan of large-scale afforestation in North China and Central China, and planned the prospect of agricultural modernization. 1924, in his speech in Guangzhou, he stressed: "We know that the fundamental way to prevent floods and droughts is to build forests and build forests on a large scale throughout the country." Since then, in many of his books and speeches, he has repeatedly emphasized the harmfulness of deforestation and the importance of afforestation. 19 15, at the initiative of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the then Beiyang government officially announced the regulation of taking Tomb-Sweeping Day as Arbor Day every year. Since then, there has been Arbor Day in China.
