The origin of the National Day
The term "National Day" originally refers to a national celebration, which was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, once recorded in the article "On the Wuchang" that "National Day is only for its benefit, and the main worry is not for its harm". In China's feudal era, the national celebration was nothing more than the emperor's accession to the throne and birthday.
Therefore, in ancient China, the emperor's accession to the throne and birthday were called "National Day", and today the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is called National Day.
1 949 65438+1October1is the anniversary of the founding of New China.
What needs to be pointed out here is that in the impression of many people, the founding ceremony in People's Republic of China (PRC) was held in Tiananmen Square, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians attending.
In fact, this impression in people's minds is not accurate, because the ceremony held in Tiananmen Square in June19491KLOC-0/was founding ceremony of China people and the Central People's Government, not founding ceremony.
In fact, the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), that is to say, the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), was announced as early as the week before the day of 10. At that time, it was not called "founding ceremony" but "founding ceremony".
The time is 65438+September 2 1 949. On this day, Mao Zedong, director of the Preparatory Committee of China People's Political Consultative Conference, announced the birth of the new China in his opening speech at the first session of CPPCC.
What about the National Day in June 1 Sunday?
At the first meeting of the first National Committee of the China People's Political Consultative Conference,
Xu Guangping said, "Commissioner Ma Xulun can't come on leave. He asked me to say that the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) should have a national day, so I hope this Council will decide to designate 10 1 as the national day. " Mao Zedong said, "We should make suggestions to the government and let it decide."
1949 10 On February 2nd, the Central People's Government passed the Resolution on China People's National Day, stipulating that 10/0 is the National Day every year, and this day is the day when the people of China are declared to be founded.
Since then, the annual 10 June 1 has become a grand festival celebrated by people of all ethnic groups in China.
