The National Day of the People's Republic of China (simplified Chinese: 国庆节; traditional Chinese: 國慶節; pinyin: guóqìng jié) is celebrated every year on October 1. It is a public holiday in the People's Republic of China to celebrate their national day.
The PRC was founded on October 1, 1949 with a ceremony at Tiananmen Square. The Central People's Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared that October 1 is the National Day.
The National Day marks the start of one of the two Golden Weeks in the PRC. However, there have been some recent controversies over whether Golden Weeks should be kept.
The National Day is celebrated throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau with a variety of government-organised festivities, including fireworks and concerts. Public places, such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing, are decorated in a festive theme. Portraits of revered leaders, such as Mao Zedong, are publicly displayed.
The University of Southern California U.S.-China Institute published a review of national day celebrations between 1949 and 1999 and discussed preparations for the 2009 extravaganza.US-China Today summarized press coverage and included images of the 2009 celebration.
中華人民共和國國慶節是中華人民共和國的建立紀念日，1949年9月，中國人民政治協商會議第一屆全體會議決定每年的10月1日為中國的國慶節；1949年10月1日，在北京天安門廣場舉行了開國大典，中華人民共和國中央人民政府正式成立。中國大陸、香港及澳門地區均訂為法定假日或公眾假期（澳門為2天，香港在1997年和1998年也曾是2天）。
1949年12月2日，中央人民政府委員會第四次會議通過《關於中華人民共和國國慶日的決議》，宣告：「自一九五〇年起，即以每年的十月一日，即中華人民共和國宣告成立的日子，為中華人民共和國的國慶日。 」
國慶節期間，中國大陸、香港及澳門都會舉行各種紀念活動，紀念中華人民共和國的建立。中國大陸自2008年起，每逢國慶節國家領導人都會向位於天安門廣場的人民英雄紀念碑敬獻花圈。在香港的維多利亞港，每年國慶期間更會舉辦煙花匯演，吸引海港兩岸數萬市民觀賞。而世界各地華僑社區，均會舉辦慶典、巡遊、或升旗儀式等活動盛大慶祝
