国庆节，是由一个国家官方制定的用来庆祝并纪念国家的国家地位或国家本身的法定假日。它们通常是这个国家的建立、独立、革命、签署宪法、元首诞辰或其他有重大纪念意义的周年纪念日；也有些是这个国家守护神的“圣人节”。
National Day is a legal holiday officially designated（指定） by a country to celebrate and commemorate（纪念） the country's national status or the country itself. They are usually anniversaries（周年纪念日） of the establishment（建立）, independence（独立）, revolution（革命）, signing of the constitution（宪法）, the birthday of the head of state（国家元首） or other significant（重大的） commemorative events（纪念事件） of the country. Some are also 'saints' days' of the patron saint（守护神） of the country.
中文 “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。中国古代国家喜庆的大事，莫大过于帝王的登基、诞辰（明清两朝称皇帝的生日为万寿节）等。因而中国古代把皇帝即位、诞辰称为 “国庆”。今天称国家建立的纪念日或独立日为国庆。
The Chinese word 'National Day' originally refers to national celebrations. It was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty（西晋）. Lu Ji, a writer of the Western Jin Dynasty, once wrote in his article 'On the Five Ranks of Princes' that 'National Day alone enjoys its benefits, and the lord's worries have nothing to do with its harms.' In ancient China, the greatest events of national celebration were nothing more than the enthronement（登基） and birthday（诞辰） of the emperor (in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor's birthday was called the Longevity Festival（万寿节)). Therefore, in ancient China, the enthronement and birthday of the emperor were called 'National Day'. Today, the anniversary（周年纪念日） of the establishment（建立） or independence（独立） day of a country is called National Day.
In 1949, on October 9, the first session（会议） of the first National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held in the Diligent Government Hall in Zhongnanhai. Ma Xulun, a member（委员） of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, entrusted（委托） member Xu Guangping to submit a proposal（建议） to the conference due to illness, suggesting that 'the government should clearly designate（指定） October 1 as the National Day of the People's Republic of China to replace the old National Day on October 10.' The conference decided to submit it to the central people's government for adoption（采纳） and implementation（实施）.
国庆节期间会举行各种纪念活动，纪念中华人民共和国革命先烈。自 2008年起，每逢国庆节，党和国家领导人都会向位于天安门广场的人民英雄纪念碑敬献花篮。世界多地华侨社区，也会举办庆典、巡游或升旗仪式等活动庆祝。
During the National Day period, various commemorative（纪念性的） activities are held to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs（革命先烈） of the People's Republic of China. Since 2008, on every National Day, the Party and state leaders（党和国家领导人） will lay flower baskets at the Monument to the People's Heroes（人民英雄纪念碑） in Tiananmen Square. Overseas Chinese communities（华侨社区） in many parts of the world will also hold celebrations（庆典）, parades（巡游） or flag-raising ceremonies（升旗仪式） and other activities to celebrate.
After 1999, National Day is a 'Golden Week' holiday. The legal holiday（法定假日） time for National Day is three days. Then the two weekends before and after are adjusted（调整） to a total of seven days off together. It is also called the Golden Week holiday.
