Will there be a big parade in 2018? The first military parade originated in the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, the military parade began in the spring and Autumn Period in ancient China. The earliest National Day parade in modern times comes from France. The earliest National Day parade in China is the National Day parade of the Republic of China. In 1949, when the people's Republic of China was founded, according to the decision of the CPPCC National Committee, the military parade was listed as an important part of the National Day military parade.
In addition to last year's military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti Japanese War, China's military parade is usually on national day, but also on the 10th anniversary.
When the people's Republic of China was founded, according to the decision of the CPPCC National Committee, the military parade was listed as an important part of the National Day ceremony. From the founding ceremony in 1949 to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China in 2009, 14 National Day Parades were held. Eleven National Day Parades were held from 1949 to the tenth anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China.
Therefore, there should be no grand parade in 2018.

In 1964, the Ministry of Defense issued the military regulations, which listed the military parade clause for the first time. Subsequently, due to the 'Cultural Revolution' and other reasons, there was no National Day parade for 24 consecutive years.
In 1984, according to Deng Xiaoping's proposal, the CPC Central Committee decided to resume the military parade, and held a large-scale national day parade on the 35th anniversary of the National Day in 1984.
