The inauguration ceremony was held in Beijing 1949, 10, 1. 192 1 July 1 day China * * * production party has been born for 28 years. At that time, there were 54 ethnic groups in China (there are 56 now, and two of them were later confirmed). Therefore, these 54 salutes symbolize 54 nationalities (65438+September 2 1 0949) who participated in the first session of China People's Political Consultative Conference. Twenty-eight rings marked the twenty-eight years of heroic struggle of the people of all ethnic groups in China under the leadership of the China Production Party.

Other explanations:

① Nie Rongzhen inspected the salute team: "Twenty-eight rings represent the * * * production party for 28 years, which is of great significance." Kelvin Tong drafted a description of the salute, which read the 28th ring representing the 28th birth year of the * * * production party, and Mao Zedong signed it after reading it.

(2) Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui were 28- 16-year-old girls when they first fell in love, and Mao Zedong was 28 when she got married; 1949 is the 28th wedding anniversary;

③ The second is Yin and Yang, and the eighth is gossip. This is the essence of China traditional culture;

1949-7-7, commemorating the anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War 12, with 49 guns fired; 1949-9, the opening of the new CPPCC sounded 54 shots;

1949 10 10/day, People's Republic of China (PRC) founding ceremony fired 28 salutes. According to international practice, the highest etiquette of major ceremonies is to salute 2 1. Why does founding ceremony in New China ring 28 times? Speculation is endless.

Americans say that China's * * * production party finally won through hardships, which made Mao Zedong full of passion for China's * * * production party, so the word "* * *" is composed of "20" and "8", which is 28, which is the reason for ringing 28.

The Soviets believed that China had 28 stars since ancient times, and the 28 heroes of Mao Zedong represented the people who participated in the revolution in Qian Qian. Salute is a tribute to the revolutionary people represented by 28 heroes.

The British people think that he is a person who advocates individual freedom and respects his feelings very much: when he first fell in love with Yang Kaihui, Yang 16 years old, they were just 28 years old when they got married, and when Yang Kaihui died, they were just 28 years old when they got married in founding ceremony. So the 28-gun salute is a reflection of Mao Zedong's personal feelings.

The Japanese think. Mao Zedong is very good at Zhouyi. The 28-gun salute contains the meaning of "28", that is, yin and yang, and "8" is gossip, which is the essence of China traditional culture.

1972, when President Nixon visited China, he asked Premier Zhou Enlai what "28" meant. Zhou Enlai said that Chairman Mao had decided to fire a 28-gun salute at that time, so he arranged it. As for the meaning, he didn't ask Chairman Mao. Nixon asked Zhou Enlai how he understood it. Zhou Enlai said that 90 days before he left founding ceremony, President Mao Zedong said that the China Communist Party was 28 years old. In the past 28 years, we have won the revolutionary war, but we still have a lot to do, just like the first step of the Long March. Later, Zhou Enlai asked Nixon: "Do you think I can take the chairman's words as my understanding of' 28'?" Nixon said discontentedly, "I want to get its standard answer." Zhou Enlai said, "Then please ask the chairman yourself." But when Nixon met with Mao Zedong, he didn't mention it.

Mao Zedong did have his unique insights and ideas in doing things: at the opening of the first session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) on September 26th, a 54-gun salute was fired, representing 54 units attending the CPPCC. Tang Shuijian, the organizing committee of the ceremony, wrote that the 28th Ring Road represents the 28 years since the birth of China's * * * production party, and Mao Zedong signed it immediately after reading it, expressing his approval of this statement. /% D4 % C2 % B6 % F9 % CC % EC % B5 % D8/blog/item/7398 a2c 4430749 ab 8226 ACA 3 . html
