guó qìng jié国庆节wèi shén me为什么dìng定zài在10 yuè10月1 rì1日？
October 1 every year is China's National Day.
Many people have a day off, travel, or get together with their families on this day.
But do you know why National Day is set on October 1?
There is an important piece of history behind it.
On the afternoon of October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
The Central People's Government of New China officially announced its establishment to the world, and hundreds of thousands of people witnessed this historic moment.
In fact, when New China was first founded, the exact date of National Day was not decided immediately.
Later, someone suggested that October 1, the day the Central People's Government was established, was the most suitable date for National Day.
Everyone agreed with this idea.
In December 1949, the government officially passed a decision: starting in 1950, October 1 each year would be the National Day of the People's Republic of China.
Today, National Day is not only an important commemorative day, but also a long holiday that people look forward to.
On this day every year, a solemn flag-raising ceremony is held in Tiananmen Square, and streets and alleys are filled with Five-Star Red Flags.
At this time, people rest, travel, and reunite with their families.
October 1 allows people to enjoy life while looking back on history and cherishing today's peace and happiness even more.
Wishing everyone a happy National Day!
