The origin of August 1st Army Day

After Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei launched "Qing * * *" in Nanjing and Wuhan on April 12 and July 15, 2007, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provisional Political Bureau in Hankou, and decided to use the National Revolutionary Army under the control and influence of the * * * production party to hold an uprising in Nanchang, and appointed Zhou Enlai as the secretary of the former enemy committee. During the uprising, it was commanded by the former enemy Committee and military leaders.

1927, 1 in August, the former enemy committee, with Li, Yun and Peng Pai as members, organized and led the Nanchang Uprising, which fired the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the people's army led by China Producers' Party was born. However, for quite some time after the Nanchang Uprising, people did not realize its symbolic significance. 1The Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held in June-July, 1928 held that the Guangzhou Riot of 1927 was the beginning of the Soviet revolution in China, and officially decided "Guangzhou Riot Day" (February 1 1 day) as a fixed anniversary. From 65438 to 0929, a serious economic crisis broke out in the capitalist world. * * * The international community believes that this economic crisis will inevitably turn into a new imperialist war. Therefore, * * * Production International decided on August 1 day to call on the proletariat and oppressed nations all over the world to mobilize and unanimously oppose the imperialist war. 1929 On July 27th, China * * * Central Committee responded to the international call of * * * production and issued the Declaration of China * * * Production Party as August 1st International Red Day, calling for an anti-imperialist March on August 1 day. According to the decision of * * * Industrial International, China Central Committee designated August 1 day as "August 1 International Red Sun", also known as "August 1 Anti-Japanese War Day" or "August 1 Anti-imperialist War Day". Therefore, before 1933, "August 1st" was not regarded as Army Day of the People's Army, but was designated as "Anti-imperialist War Day" to commemorate it.

1On June 23rd, 933, the Provisional Central Committee of China made the Resolution on August 1st Anti-imperialist War Day, pointing out: "This August 1st Anti-imperialist War Day is suitable for commemorating the founding of the Red Army. It should be pointed out to the masses that only the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants is the only savior of the working people in China, and the people in the White Area should be mobilized to celebrate the victory of the Red Army ... "This is the first time that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has clearly designated" August 1st "as the anniversary of the founding of the Red Army. On June 30th, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission issued the order "Deciding August 1 day as the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants", pointing out: "1 August 9271day, the Nanchang riots led by the proletarian party and the anti-imperialist agrarian revolution were the source of the heroic Red Army of Workers and Peasants." On July 1 1 of the same year, the People's Committee of the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet held its 45th meeting and decided to take August 1 of each year as the Chinese Red Army Memorial Day. On the same day, the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet with Mao Zedong as its chairman approved this decision. From 65438 to 0933, Nanchang Uprising Day was designated as the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army and became the People's Army Day.

1On June 5th, 949, the People's Revolutionary Military Commission of China issued an order stipulating that the flag and emblem of the China People's Liberation Army should be marked with the word "August 1st". After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), this anniversary was renamed the Army Day of China People's Liberation Army.

Let's introduce what celebrations (customs) are generally held to build the army on August 1st ~ ~

1, supporting military activities. Mainly government departments and social organizations to carry out various forms of military support activities. Governments at all levels also organize grand military-civilian parties or vigils to invite representatives of the old Red Army, retired military cadres, demobilized soldiers, disabled revolutionary soldiers and families of martyrs to participate. At the same time, it also organizes activities to support the army and give priority to its dependents, publicize the glorious tradition of the people's army, check the implementation of preferential treatment, and solve problems and difficulties in time. ?

2. Pay tribute to the hero. August 1st Army Day is different from the solemnity of Tomb-Sweeping Day. They usually hold some commemorative activities in front of the monument, not so much to express their boring reverence and nostalgia for the revolutionary ancestors, but to commemorate their achievements and cherish their happy life now. The procedure of memorial service is similar to that of Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping. Generally, there will be cleaning, offering fruit and food, or planting trees, laying wreaths and offering prayers. After that, some military units will also visit the families of martyrs and listen to the teachings of their predecessors.

3. Visiting old comrades? . Visit retired military cadres and extend festive greetings and best wishes to them. I would like to extend my holiday greetings to them, thank the veteran comrades of the army for their contributions in the revolutionary war years and their long-term care and support for local economic and social development, and wish them a long and healthy life, happiness in their later years and a happy family.

4. Give love to poor families. In some remote areas or areas where family conditions are not very good, especially during festivals, it is really necessary to go deep into the grassroots, visit the poor and ask questions, effectively send the warmth of the party to the hearts of ordinary people, and effectively solve the practical difficulties of poor families.
