The significance of national day
National Day celebrations are conducive to displaying the national image and guiding people to establish a correct view of the country. National image is an important embodiment of national soft power. National Day celebrations vividly show the world the image of China as a civilized country with profound historical background, diverse nationalities and harmonious cultures, as well as an oriental country with clear politics, economic development, cultural prosperity, social stability, people's unity and beautiful mountains and rivers.
National Day celebrations concretize the abstract Chinese cultural spirit through flags, slogans, music, songs, pictures, dances and other forms, which is conducive to enhancing people's cultural self-confidence, guiding people to establish a correct cultural outlook, stimulating the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation, and constantly consolidating the cultural foundation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
