The founding of the People’s Republic of China was proclaimed on October 1, 1949. This was the greatest change in Chinese history. . At the first session of the CPPCC in September 1949, it was decided to designate October 1 as National Day.

The term "National Day" originally refers to national celebrations and was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty. Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, once recorded in his article "On the Five Classes of Princes" that "only enjoy the benefits of the National Day, and do not worry about the harm". In my country's feudal era, the country's most festive events were no greater than the emperor's enthronement and birthday.
