关于国庆节的英语简介

The National Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a country.Often the National Day will be a national holiday.
The National Day is often taken as the date on which a state or territory achieved independence.Other dates such as the country's patron saint day,or a significant historic date are sometimes used.Most countries have a single National Day per year,though a few,for example,India and Pakistan,have more than one.Besides that,each of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China,namely Hong Kong and Macao,celebrate the day of the establishment of the special administrative region,as well as the National Day of the People's Republic of China.
The importance attached to the National Day,and the degree to which it is celebrated,vary enormously from country to country.In France,for example,National Day is 14 July and is known as Bastille Day.It is widely celebrated and the French Tricolour is much in evidence,while the President of the Republic attends a military parade on the Champs-Élysées of Paris.In the United States,the Fourth of July celebrations are widely celebrated with fireworks and barbecues.In the Republic of Ireland,St.Patrick's Day,March 17,has been the National Day and a Public Holiday for many years,and in recent years it has been observed as a full Public Holiday in Northern Ireland too.However,in the rest of the United Kingdom the constituent countries' patron saints' days are low-key affairs.
Most countries have a fixed date National Day,but some have movable dates.An example here is Jamaica,which celebrates its National Day on the first Monday in August.This commemorates independence from the United Kingdom which was attained on Monday,6 August 1962 - the first Monday in August of that year.Another example is Thailand which celebrates the birthday of the King on 5 December.This date will change on the accession of the heir to the throne.

“国庆”一词，本指国家喜庆之事，最早见于西晋。西晋的文学家陆机在《五等诸侯论》一文中就曾有“国庆独飨其利，主忧莫与其害”的记载、我国封建时代、国家喜庆的大事，莫大过于帝王的登基、诞辰（清朝称皇帝的生日为万岁节）等。因而我国古代把皇帝即位、诞辰称为“国庆”。今天称国家建立的纪念日为国庆。
1949年10月1日，是新中国成立的纪念日。1949年10月2日，中央人民政府通过《关于中华人民共和国国庆日的决议》，规定每年10月1日为国庆日，并以这一天作为宣告中华人民共和国成立的日子。 从此，每年的10月1日就成为全国各族人民隆重欢庆的节日了。
