When Parents' Day was first established, the entire week with the 8th day was designated to be a week to respect the elderly, but respecting elders in the month of May was abolished in 1997 with October becoming the month designated for respecting the elderly.
當父母節初步成立時，整一周包括第八天被定為尊敬長者的一周，但在五月份尊重長者的規定在1997年被取消，而十月成為尊重長者的月份。
