How many anniversaries is 2018 National Day? the origin of National Day

National Day is a legal holiday made by a country to commemorate the country itself. National Day is a day of national celebration, which is always remembered. 2018 is the 69th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China, which is the 69th national day.

They are usually the independence of the country, the signing of the constitution, the birth of the head of state or other significant anniversaries; some are the saint's day of the country's patron saint.

Although most countries have similar anniversaries, due to the complex political relationship, this festival in some countries can not be called National Day. For example, the United States has only independence day and no national day, but they have the same meaning.

In ancient China, the emperor's accession to the throne and birth was called "National Day".

Today, the national day of China refers to October 1, the anniversary of the formal establishment of the people's Republic of China.
