Origin of Chinese National Day 5, Origin of Chinese National Day

The word "National Day", which originally referred to the celebration of the country, was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty. Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, once recorded in the article "On the Fifth Class Princes" that "the National Day is a unique benefit, and the main worry is not harmful". In the feudal era of our country, the major events of the country's celebration were the emperor's enthronement and birthday (the Qing Dynasty called the emperor's birthday the Long Live Festival) and so on.

Therefore, in ancient China, the emperor's enthronement and birth were called "National Day". Today, the anniversary of the founding of the country is a national holiday.

October 1, 1949 is the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It should be noted here that many people have the impression that on October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was held in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, which was attended by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Actually, this impression in people's minds is not accurate.

Because, the ceremony held in Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949 was the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, not the founding ceremony. In fact, the "founding" of the People's Republic of China, that is, the founding of the People's Republic of China, had already been announced a week before October 1 of that year. At that time, it was not called the "Founding Ceremony", but the "Founding Ceremony".

The date was September 21, 1949. On this day, the director of the preparatory committee for the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference*** announced the birth of new China in his opening speech at the first session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

So, what about the National Day on October 1st? At the first meeting of the First National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Xu Guangping said: "Member Ma Xulun asked me to come on leave, and he asked me to say that the founding of the People's Republic of China should have a national day, so I hope that this committee will decide to designate 1 October as a national day."

"We should make a proposal, make a proposal to **, and let ** decide." "On October 2, 1949, **People** passed the "Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China", stipulating that October 1 of each year is the National Day, and this day is used as the day to proclaim the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Since then, October 1 every year has become a festival for the people of all ethnic groups across the country to celebrate.

Do you know the origin of the National Day?

It's very simple: On October 1, 1949, Mao announced the founding of China at Tiananmen Square.

October 1, 1949 is the commemoration of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
