Chinese Mothers' Garden
Jiujiang County in Jiangxi Province has deep ties to the culture of virtuous mothers and has been honored as the "City of Maternal Love" by the China Mother's Day Promotion Committee. Among the four traditional virtuous mothers in Chinese culture, three once lived or traveled through Jiujiang, with two of them (Mother Tao and Mother Yue) residing here long-term and being buried here after their passing. Mencius’s mother moved three times to choose a good neighborhood and cut off her weaving to teach her child; Mother Tao cut her hair to host a guest and sealed a jar of preserved fish to return a gift; Mother Ouyang painted a bow to teach her son and exhorted him to serve the public faithfully; Mother Yue tattooed characters on her son’s back and inspired him to join the army. These stories carry the spirits of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, courtesy, righteousness, trust, justice, and integrity. They have profoundly shaped the hearts of the Chinese people, forming an essential part of Chinese culture. Admired by all, they shine brilliantly. The Chinese Mothers' Garden is a cultural theme park centered on the local ties of Mothers Tao and Yue, and even Mother Ouyang. With the culture of virtuous mothers as its medium and cultural industry as its goal, it integrates cultural display, eco-leisure, and tourism into an educational and entertaining destination. The whole site functions as an educational base for patriotism, clean and people-loving governance, outstanding traditional Chinese culture, and the culture of virtuous mothers, as well as a research hub for maternal love culture. Major facilities include: “One Gate” (Gate of Maternal Love), “One Sculpture” (Central Theme Sculpture of Chinese Virtuous Mothers), “One Path” (Path of Benevolence), “Two Roads” (Road of Esteeming Virtue and Road of Gratitude), “Three Plazas” (Entrance Plaza, Plaza of Love, and Scenic Parking), and “Four Halls” (Hall of Exemplary Mothers Around the World [Chinese Mothers' Culture Museum], Mother Tao Hall, Mother Yue Hall, and - Garden).
