Motherland, I am proud of you.
When the magnificent huabiao,
Let the tall and straight body be covered with dawn,
When the majestic Tiananmen Square,
Let the clouds meet the rising sun.
The ear of history,
The salute rumbled,
An avalanche of echoes,
It is the echo of the changes in China.
A giant looks down at the world,
A loud voice,
The whole world heard it,
People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded!
When the first five-star red flag Ran Ran was raised,
Flag of victory,
Flying in the wind of the sky,
People looked up,
The whole world saw it,
The people of China have stood up since then!
This period of history embodies greatness,
Indulge in the sunshine in October,
This momentum is full of passion,
A monument stands in the east of the world.
A glorious era,
With strong hands,
He wrote a glorious chapter of the new China,
People proudly pointed out the direction.
Suffering mother,
Wipe the tears from your eyes,
Show your inner joy, be happy sincerely,
The motherland bravely moves towards prosperity.
Praise our history,
There is a myth that Pangu created the world.
Generate the light that shines with life.
Praise our history,
There are four great inventions,
Sow on this barren land.
Praise our history,
With the wisdom of Laozi and Confucius,
The flame of thousands of years of civilization has illuminated us.
Praise our calendar.
National Day Poetry 1:
Qinyuanchun National Day
Wan Li has clear skies, magnificent mountains and rivers, and red flags flying.
Look at Kyushu Fiona Fang and celebrate the world; Rivers sing, fragrant everywhere.
Social stability, people's happiness, a new chapter in the spectrum of reform and opening up
Like the dragon of the world, New China stands tall in the East.
Today's glory depends on the direction of the party, government and national policies.
Looking back on the eventful years, life is ruined; There are many difficulties for the people, but the night is endless.
Bullets, risk one's life for a new red sun.
Cherish it and let the rivers and mountains go red forever.

I love the flowers of my motherland in October. I love the flowers of my motherland in October.
I love the flowers of my motherland in October,
She's smart,
Because she is in my heart.
There are 56 incense-
Ah, this fragrance is unforgettable in my heart for four seasons.
From the peach blossoms in the north in spring,
In the severe winter, the smell of rice and flowers in Hainan is fragrant.
From the mountain village of Fujian where litchi trees are full in summer,
In autumn, the grapes are ripe and the fruits in Turpan are full of fragrance. ...
Colorful flowers bloom every day,
Harvest is in sight,
Among these perfumes,
I saw the most beautiful sight-
Her snow white and green,
As beautiful as the clear sky at dawn,
Hope for the future ...

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 on June 1949 10 1 was founding ceremony of the Central People's Government of People's Republic of China (PRC), not founding ceremony. In fact, the "founding of the People's Republic of China" of People's Republic of China (PRC), that is, the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), was announced as early as the week before 10+0. At that time, it was called "founding ceremony" instead of "founding ceremony". The time is 1949 September 2 1. 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.

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.

Everyone's chest is hung with beautiful silver ornaments, and some are covered with matching cloaks and ethnic hats of different colors. It's really colorful.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is no grand and solemn celebration in the capital, although it is held every Friday and every ten days. Citizens of the capital can still enjoy themselves in front of the Brandenburg Gate in the rare bright sunshine in autumn.

The first flagpole was used by President founding ceremony 1949, with a height of 22 meters.
1 991may1day, the flag pole was rebuilt, with a height of 32.6 meters. Replacing flagpoles is based on two considerations. First, the flagpole of the 42-year-old national flag is indeed somewhat aging; Second, great changes have taken place in Tiananmen Square and Chang 'an Avenue. The great hall of the people, the history museum and the chairman Mao memorial hall have all been built, and the height of the flagpole has been obviously reduced, which is incompatible with it.
The rebuilt national flagpole base is quite exquisite, which is divided into three layers: the inner layer is surrounded by a white marble railing with a height of 80 cm, and the east and west sides have access channels with a width of 2 meters; The second floor is the ochre granite belt with a width of more than 2 meters around the base, which symbolizes "the people's mountains and rivers are red for generations"; The third floor is a 5-meter-wide green belt with evergreen seasons, which symbolizes the prosperity of the socialist motherland.

Change the national flag
1990 The National Flag Law stipulates that damaged, defaced, faded or substandard national flags shall not be hoisted. In order to ensure the sanctity and integrity of the national flag, the national flag over Tiananmen Square is basically changed every day. Every major festival, the new national flag must be replaced. Even if the national flag is not damaged, the longest hanging time cannot exceed 10 days.
National Emblem of the People's Republic of China
The national emblem of China consists of the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears, ears of wheat and rice, symbolizing the new-democratic revolutionary struggle of the China people since the May 4th Movement and the birth of the new China of the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class based on the alliance of workers and peasants.

The birth of the national emblem
On June 1949, Zhou Enlai presided over the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Preparatory Committee for the new CPPCC and decided to set up six working groups under the leadership of the Standing Committee. The task of the sixth group is to study and draft the national flag, national emblem, national anthem, calendar year and national capital, with Ma Xulun as the team leader and Ye Jianying and Shen Yanbing as the deputy team leaders.
In July 1949, 10, the preparatory meeting of the new CPPCC proposed to put forward requirements for the design of the national emblem in the Notice on Collecting the National Flag and National Anthem Patterns: (1) China characteristics; Characteristics of political power; (3) The form must be solemn and rich. "On September 25th, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai held a meeting in Fengzeyuan, Zhongnanhai to discuss the national flag, national emblem and national anthem. At this meeting, everyone was dissatisfied with the draft application for the national emblem. Mao Zedong finally said: The national flag has been decided. Whether the national emblem can be decided in the future, or the original team will continue to design it, and the government will decide later. At the first plenary session of the new China People's Political Consultative Conference held on September 27th, four resolutions were discussed and passed, namely, the national flag, the national capital, the Gregorian calendar and the national anthem. The Presidium of the Congress decided to invite experts to design the national emblem independently. Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts received the invitation of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, and respectively formed the design team of Tsinghua University Architecture Department headed by architects Liang Sicheng and Lin and the design team of the Central Academy of Fine Arts headed by artists, and launched a design competition.
1On June 20th, 950, the National Emblem Evaluation Group held a meeting, and made the final evaluation of the scheme put forward by the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and finally determined the scheme of the National Emblem designed by eight teachers, including Liang Sicheng and Lin from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and sent it to the General Assembly for voting. Since then, according to Premier Zhou Enlai's opinion, the detailed image of the national emblem has been improved.
1950 On June 23, at the second plenary session of the first session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, President Mao Zedong presided over the adoption of a resolution agreeing to the report of the inspection team of the national emblem and the proposed national emblem pattern. On September 20th, Mao Zedong, president signed the order of the Central People's Government, and announced the design and explanation of the national emblem of China: "The national emblem consists of the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears, ears of wheat and rice, symbolizing the new democratic revolutionary struggle of the China people since the May 4th Movement and the birth of the new China of the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants." 1950 In the second half of the year, the Central People's Government entrusted the production of the national emblem to Shenyang No.1 Machine Tool Works. 1 951may1day, China's first metal national emblem, which was cast by young workers Jiao Baishun, Pei Qingjiang and Zhu Fengyi of Shenyang No.1 Machine Tool Plant, was officially hung on Tiananmen Gate.
The birth of the national anthem
On the eve of the founding of New China, CPPCC held a meeting to discuss the national anthem. Famous painter Xu Beihong and famous architect Liang Sicheng strongly recommend March of the Volunteers as the national anthem. Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai immediately expressed their support for their views. However, some people think that the new China is about to be established, and the lyrics of this song "The Chinese nation is at its most dangerous time" are out of date, and they advocate changing the lyrics. Zhou Enlai made a speech to remind everyone to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and not to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Leave this sentence and let our ears ring. 1On September 27th, 949, the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference passed a resolution to adopt March of the Volunteers as the national anthem before National Anthem of the People's Republic of China was formally formulated.
Nie Er (19 12- 1935). March of the volunteers was born in 1935, written by Tian Han; Nie Er, the founder and composer of China New Music Movement. This song was originally the theme song of the movie "The Son of the Storm". The film "The Son of the Storm" describes that after "September 18th", Japanese imperialism invaded three northeastern provinces of China, and the Chinese nation was at a critical juncture of life and death. Under the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, some intellectuals bravely marched to the anti-Japanese front from depression and hesitation. Tian Han was arrested by reactionaries after he finished writing this movie story. The theme lyrics are written on the tin foil lining paper of cigarettes. Nie Er took the initiative to get the lyrics, completed the first draft of the score before going to Japan, and sent it back soon after arriving in Japan. With the screening of movies and the development of the national salvation movement, songs spread all over the motherland, which is called the horn of Chinese national liberation.
During the Cultural Revolution, because Tian Han was knocked down, the lyrics were not allowed to be sung, and the national anthem could only be played by a band. 1On March 5th, 978, the first meeting of the Fifth National People's Congress adopted the March of Volunteers' New Words. After changing the lyrics of the national anthem, there have been different opinions from all sides, demanding that the original lyrics of the national anthem be restored. Until1982,65438+February 4th, the Fifth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress passed a resolution on the national anthem of China, revoking the new words adopted by the National People's Congress on March 5th, 1978, and restoring March of the Volunteers composed by Tian Han as the national anthem of China. On March 14, 2004, the Second Session of the Tenth National People's Congress passed a constitutional amendment, stipulating that "the national anthem of China people is march of the volunteers."
