The National Day of the People’s Republic of China is China’s statehood day, which is celebrated on October 1, in honor of the anniversary of the founding of the PRC at Tiananmen Square in 1949 with Mao Zedong’s proclamation in the square.
It was officially declared the National Day of China on December 2, 1949, by the People’s Political Consultative Conference of China, which at that time performed the function of the Constituent Assembly.
From 1949 to 1959, a large military parade was organized every year on the occasion of the National Day, and after a multi-year break, the next parade was organized in 1984.
Since 1999, parades have been organized every 10 years, and since that year National Day has become “Golden Week” and the entire week is non-working.
