1. The origin of 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 Tiananmen Square in Beijing 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 happened to the National Day on October 1? At the first meeting of the First National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Xu Guangping said: "Commissioner Ma Xulun cannot come because he is on leave. To me, the founding of the People's Republic of China should have a National Day, so I hope this council will decide to designate October 1 as the National Day. "Mao Zedong said, "We should make a proposal to the government. Government decision. "On October 2, 1949, the Central People's Government passed the "Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China", stipulating that October 1st of each year is the National Day, and this day is used as a day to declare the independence of the People's Republic of China. *The day when the Republic of China was founded.
Since then, October 1st every year has become a festival celebrated grandly and joyfully by people of all ethnic groups across the country.
