National Day" originally refers to the national festive events, and was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty.

The Western Jin Dynasty writer Lu Ji once recorded in the article "On the Five Classes of Princes" that "National Day only benefits its benefits, and no one can harm it", the feudal era of our country, and the great events of the country are no greater than the ascension of the emperor and birth of the emperor (the Qing Dynasty called the emperor's birthday the Long Live Festival). Therefore, in ancient my country, the emperor's ascension and birth of the emperor were called "National Day" in ancient China. Therefore, in ancient my country, the emperor's ascension and birth of the emperor were called "National Day" . Today, we call the anniversary of the establishment of the country National Day.

The first person to propose ' National Day' was Mr. Ma Xulun, then member of the CPPCC and chief representative of the Democratic Progressive Party. "

On October 9, 1949, the first meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference The First National Committee of the First National Committee held its first meeting. Member Xu Guangping spoke: "Messenger Ma Xulun cannot come for leave. He asked me to say that the founding of the People's Republic of China should have a National Day, so I hope that this association will decide to set October 1st as National Day." Member Lin Boqu also spoke at the end and asked for a discussion. The meeting on the same day passed the proposal "Ask the Government to clearly define October 1 as the National Day of the People's Republic of China to replace the old National Day of October 10th", and sent it to the Central People's Government for its implementation.

National Day of the People's Republic of China On December 2, 1949, the resolution passed by the Fourth Session of the Central People's Government Committee pointed out: "The Central People's Government Committee hereby declares that since 1950, the great day of the founding of the People's Republic of China is the National Day of the People's Republic of China."

This is the origin of the People's Republic of China's "birthday", that is, "National Day".

Since 1950, October 1 of each year has become a grand festival for people of all ethnic groups in China.

In the early days of the founding of New China (1950-1959), large-scale celebrations were held every year during the National Day, and military parades were held at the same time. In September 1960, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council decided to reform the National Day system in line with the principle of thrift and frugality. Since then, from 1960 to 1970, grand gatherings and mass parades were held in front of Tiananmen Square every year during the National Day, but no military parade was held.

Since the founding of New China, a total of 14 military parades have been held at the National Day celebration. These are the 11 times between 1949 and 1959, and the 35th anniversary of National Day in 1984, the 50th anniversary of National Day in 1999, and the 60th anniversary of National Day in 2009.
