“Uống nước nhớ nguồn” – “When you drink water, remember the source.” This saying is deeply ingrained in the spirit of our nation. Especially on October 20th, this gratitude is even more cherished. So, what exactly are the “40 dyers” of preschool on 20/10? Are they really 40 fabric dyers coming to preschool to prepare for Vietnamese Women’s Day? Let’s explore the interesting meaning behind this phrase with me, a preschool teacher with over 12 years of experience!
The Meaning Behind “40 Dyers”
Actually, “40 dyers” is not about 40 real fabric dyers. It’s a playful, metaphorical way to refer to the silent contributions of preschool teachers. Just like meticulous dyers carefully work on each thread, these teachers tirelessly nurture and educate, “dyeing” the souls of young children with beautiful colors. They are the ones who lay the first foundation for the development of future generations. Especially on October 20th, this dedication is even more recognized and appreciated.
“40 Dyers” and October 20th
On October 20th, preschools often organize activities to show gratitude to the teachers. This is an opportunity for children to express their feelings and appreciation for those who have guided them. Heartfelt wishes and small, handmade gifts from the children are invaluable treasures for the teachers. As Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, principal of Hoa Sen Preschool in Hanoi, shared in her book “Cherishing Green Shoots”: “Nothing is happier than seeing the smiles of the children; that is the greatest motivation for us to continue dedicating ourselves.”
Common Activities on October 20th at Preschools
- Children making cards for their teachers.
- Children singing songs for their teachers.
- Organizing fun games and activities.
- Parents giving flowers and gifts to the teachers.
“40 Dyers” – A Spiritual Perspective
Vietnamese people always value the spiritual element. In folk beliefs, children are likened to fresh young sprouts, bringing luck and fortune to the family. Caring for and educating young children is also considered a noble job, bringing blessings and virtue. Therefore, the image of “40 dyers” – those who nurture the future generation – becomes even more sacred and meaningful.
Conclusion
“40 dyers” is not just a playful phrase but also contains deep respect and gratitude for preschool teachers – those who silently dedicate themselves to the cause of education.
