Information on the 2008 National Day handwritten newspaper

October 1st every year is China’s National Day. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have fought successively and achieved great victories in the people's revolution. On October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was held in Tiananmen Square, the capital, Beijing. Amidst the rumble of gun salutes, Chairman Mao Zedong of the Central People's Government solemnly declared the founding of the People's Republic of China and personally raised the first five-star red flag. Three hundred thousand soldiers and civilians gathered in Tiananmen Square for a grand military parade and celebratory procession. The establishment of New China achieved the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation and ushered in a new era of Chinese history.

Introduction to National Day

Annals of the People’s Republic of China

On September 27, 1949, the first plenary session of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference unanimously adopted the National Day The Republic of China adopts the AD calendar.

National Day of the People's Republic of China

On December 3, 1949, the Fourth Session of the Central People's Government Committee accepted the recommendations of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and passed the "On the People's Republic of China" "Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China" decided that October 1st of each year, the great day when the People's Republic of China was proclaimed, would be the National Day of the People's Republic of China.

National Day is a characteristic of modern nation-states. It emerged with the emergence of modern nation-states and has become particularly important. It has become a symbol of an independent country, reflecting the country's national system and political system.

Once the special commemoration method of National Day becomes a new, national holiday form, it will carry the function of reflecting the cohesion of the country and the nation. At the same time, the large-scale celebrations on National Day are also a concrete manifestation of the government’s mobilization and appeal. Showing strength, enhancing national confidence, reflecting cohesion and exerting appeal are the three basic characteristics of the National Day celebration.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, the form of National Day celebrations has changed several times. The picture on the lower right shows Tiananmen Square where flowers are placed to celebrate National Day.

gqIn the early days of the founding of New China (1950-1959), large-scale celebrations and military parades were held every National Day. In September 1960, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council decided to reform the National Day system in line with the policy of building the country through diligence and thrift. Thereafter, from 1960 to 1970, grand rallies and mass marches were held in front of Tiananmen Square every National Day, but no military parade was held.

From 1971 to 1983, Beijing celebrated National Day on October 1 every year with large-scale garden party activities and other forms, without holding mass parades. In 1984, the 35th anniversary of the National Day, a grand National Day military parade and mass celebration parade were held. In the following ten years, other forms were used to celebrate National Day, and National Day military parades and mass celebration parades were no longer held. On October 1, 1999, the 50th anniversary of the National Day, a grand National Day military parade and mass celebration parade were held. This was the last grand National Day celebration held by the Republic of China in the 20th century.

Since the founding of New China, China has held 13 military parades during the National Day celebration. There were 11 times between 1949 and 1959, two times in 1984 on the 35th anniversary of the National Day, and 1999 on the 50th anniversary of the National Day.

After the parade, people often gather in parks or public places to celebrate the festival, singing and drinking.

Edit this paragraph about the origin of National Day

National Day in China

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 "On National Day, we only enjoy its benefits, and we should not worry about its harm." In my country's feudal era, the most important national celebrations were the emperor's enthronement and birthday. (The Qing Dynasty called the emperor’s birthday Long Live Festival) and so on. Therefore, in ancient my country, the emperor's accession to the throne and birthday were called "National Day". Today, the anniversary of the founding of the country is called National Day.

At the first session of the CPPCC in September 1949, it was decided to designate October 1 as National Day.

The founding of the People's Republic of China was proclaimed on October 1, 1949. This was the greatest change in Chinese history. At 3 pm on October 1, 1949, 300,000 people in Beijing held a grand ceremony in Tiananmen Square to celebrate the establishment of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China. Chairman Mao Zedong solemnly declared the founding of the People's Republic of China and the Central People's Government, and personally raised the first five-star red flag. Chairman Mao read out the "Announcement of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China": "The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the people of the People's Republic of China. All parties willing to abide by equality and mutual benefit This government is willing to establish diplomatic relations with any foreign government that respects the principles of mutual respect for territorial sovereignty and other principles." A military parade and mass demonstrations were then held. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De reviewed the navy, army and air force and announced the "Order of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Headquarters", ordering the Chinese People's Liberation Army to quickly eliminate all remaining armed forces of the Kuomintang and liberate all unliberated lands. On the same day, Beijing Xinhua Radio Station conducted a live broadcast of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in Tiananmen Square. This is the first large-scale live broadcast in the history of China People's Broadcasting, and it is broadcast simultaneously by People's Broadcasting Stations across the country.

People are celebrating National Day

October 1, 1949, is the anniversary of the founding of New China. It should be noted here that in many people’s minds, the founding ceremony of the People’s Republic of China was held in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949, with the participation of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. In fact, 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 Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, not the founding ceremony of the country. In fact, the "founding" of the People's Republic of China, that is to say, the establishment of the People's Republic of China, had been announced a week before October 1 of that year. At that time, it was not called the "Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China", but the "Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China". The time is September 21, 1949. On this day, Mao Zedong, director of the preparatory meeting for the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, announced the birth of New China in his opening speech at the first session of the CPPCC.

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 spoke: "Commissioner Ma Xulun was unable to come on leave. He asked me to say that the founding of the People's Republic of China should be celebrated as a National Day, so I hope this council will decide to designate October 1 as National Day. "Mao Zedong said: "We should make a proposal to the government and let the government decide." On October 2, 1949, the Central People's Government passed the "About the People's Republic of China". "Resolution on the National Day of the Republic of China" stipulates that October 1st of each year is the National Day, and this day is used as the day to declare the founding of the Republic of China. Since then, October 1st every year has become a festival celebrated grandly and joyfully by people of all ethnic groups across the country.

National Days in Foreign Countries

Countries around the world have various bases for determining National Days. According to statistics, there are 35 countries in the world that use the time when the country was founded as its National Day. Countries such as Cuba and Cambodia celebrate the day they capture their capital as their National Day. Some countries regard Independence Day as their national holiday. On January 1, 1804, the Haitian people annihilated Napoleon's 60,000-strong expeditionary force and declared independence in Port-au-Prince. Since then, January 1 each year has been designated as National Day. The same is true for countries such as Mexico and Ghana. There are also some countries that use the anniversary of the armed uprising as their national day. July 14th is France’s Bastille Day. On this day in 1789, the people of Paris captured the Bastille, a symbol of feudal rule, and overthrew the monarchy. Some other countries regard major conference days as national holidays. The United States celebrates its National Day on July 4, 1776, when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. Canada celebrates the day when the British Parliament passed the "Great Britain North America Act" on July 1, 1867 as its national holiday. There are also countries where the birthday of the head of state is the national day, such as Nepal, Thailand, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and other countries.

National Day is an important holiday in every country, but its name is different.

Many countries call it "National Day" or "National Day", and some countries call it "Independence Day" or "Independence Day". "Day", "Liberation Day", "National Renaissance Day", "Constitution Day", etc., and some directly add "Day" to the name of the country, such as "Australia Day", "Pakistan Day", and some use the King's birthday. Or the enthronement day is the National Day. If the king changes, the specific date of the National Day will also be changed. Every National Day, various countries hold different forms of celebrations to enhance the patriotism of their people and enhance the cohesion of the country. Countries should also express congratulations to each other. National Days fall every five or ten days, and some even expand their celebrations. To celebrate National Day, governments of various countries usually hold a National Day reception, hosted by the head of state, head of government or foreign minister, and invite envoys from various countries stationed there and other important foreign guests to participate. However, some countries do not hold receptions, such as the United States and the United Kingdom.
