National Day (guó qìng jié 国庆节) originally refers to the good or festive time. In ancient times of China, the most festive thing of one country must be the new emperor enthroned or the birthday of the king, which was regarded as the National Day. Since the People’s Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949 with a ceremony at Tian’anmen Square, the Central People’s Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the PRC (guān yú zhōng huá rén mín gòng hé guó guó qìng jié de jué yì 关于中华人民共和国国庆日的决议) on December 2, 1949 and declared that October 1 is the National Day. When the anniversary is a multiple of five (e.g. the 50th, 55th, or 60th), large scale official celebrations may be held, including an inspection of troops on Tian’anmen Square. More notable of these events included the inspection in 1984, the inspection in 1999 and the inspection in 2009. 国庆节 1949年12月3日,中央人民政府委员会第四次会议接受全国政协的建议,通过了《关于中华人民共和国国庆日的决议》,决定每年10月1日,即中华人民共和国宣告成立的伟大日子,为中华人民共和国国庆日。
