People's Republic of China (PRC) National Day is a national characteristic, which appears with the emergence of the country and becomes particularly important. It has become a symbol of an independent country, reflecting the country's state system and polity. Once the National Day, a special commemorative way, becomes a new and national holiday form, it will carry the function of reflecting the cohesion of this country and nation. At the same time, the large-scale celebration of the National Day is also a concrete manifestation of the government's mobilization and call. Showing national strength, enhancing national self-confidence, embodying cohesion and exerting appeal are the three basic characteristics of National Day celebrations.
The term "National Day" originally refers to a national celebration, which was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty. Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, once recorded in the article "On the Five Permanent Members" that "the National Day is only beneficial, and the main worry is not harmful". In the feudal era of China, the national festive events were nothing more than the emperor's accession to the throne and his birthday. Although most countries have similar anniversaries, due to complicated political relations, this festival in some countries cannot be called National Day. For example, the United States only has independence day and no national day, but the two have the same meaning.
