What are the origins and customs of National Day?

National Day is a legal holiday formulated by a country to commemorate the country itself, which is usually the anniversary of national independence, the signing of the constitution, the birthday of the head of state or other significant commemorative days. Some are saints' day, the patron saint of this country.

Although most countries have similar anniversaries, due to complicated political relations, this festival in some countries cannot be called National Day. For example, the United States only has independence day and no national day, but the two have the same meaning. In ancient China, the emperor's accession to the throne and birthday were called "National Day".

Customs:

On National Day, all countries should hold different forms of celebration activities to enhance the patriotic consciousness of their own people and enhance the cohesion of the country. Countries should also congratulate each other. Every five or ten years, some celebrate the National Day.

To celebrate the National Day, governments usually hold a National Day reception, presided over by the head of state, government or foreign minister, and invite local ambassadors and other important foreign guests to attend. However, some countries do not hold receptions, such as the United States and Britain.
