The first military Day celebration
The army day was born in 1927. Her first celebration was held in Ruijin, the capital of the Central Soviet Area, on June 26, 1933.
On June 26, 1933, the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area of the Communist Party of China issued the decision on the August 1 International Anti War struggle day and the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army. The decision pointed out: 'in order to commemorate the Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission has determined & lsquo; August 1 & rsquo; as a day to be commemorated by the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army. Later, the members of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission made such an explanation for why they decided to establish the August 1st military day as follows: 'on August 1st, 1927, nanchang uprising led by the Communist Party, a proletarian party, took place. This uprising was the beginning of the anti imperialist agrarian revolution and the source of the heroic Red Army of workers and peasants. In the arduous wars over the years, the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army has broken the previous attacks of the imperialist Kuomintang and fundamentally shaken its rule in China. It has become one of the basic levers for the upsurge of the revolution, the organizer of the revolutionary struggle of the Chinese working masses and the main force for the thorough National Revolutionary War. In order to commemorate the victory of the Nanchang Uprising and the establishment of the Red Army, the Committee has decided to commemorate the establishment of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army on August 1 every year since 1933. On July 1, the Provisional Central Government of the Soviet Republic of China made a resolution on the commemoration of the August 1 movement: "it approved the proposal of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and stipulated that the anniversary of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army should be" August 1 "every year. '

The second is an oath. The Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has given the newly established Red Army workers' division and the international division of the Communist Party of China military flags, and issued orders to the two divisions to fight bravely to kill the enemy on the front line. The workers' division and the international division of the Communist Party of China formed two square arrays, with the commanders holding their fists high and swearing.
The third is to give flags and awards. The leaders of the CMC awarded school flags to each Red Army school, battle flags to each Red Army team and Red Star medals to the outstanding red army commanders. The central government and representatives of all parties and groups delivered congratulatory speeches, and the separation began.
