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 Five Permanent Members" that "the National Day is only beneficial, and the main worry is not harmful". In the feudal era of our country, the great events celebrated by the whole country were nothing more than the emperor's accession to the throne and his birthday (the Qing Dynasty called the emperor's birthday Long live the festival). Therefore, in ancient China, the emperor's accession to the throne and birthday were called "National Day". Today, the National Day 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 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.
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: "Member 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.
