It celebrates the beginning of its new government on October1, 1949.
It is one of two Golden Weeks in the country, along with the Chinese New Year.
The Mandarin Chinese name of the holiday is Guóqìng Jié, which means "Nation-Celebrating Holiday" or "Holiday of National Celebration".
It is written  in traditional characters and  in simplified characters.
The holiday has also become a common given name in China, with around 420,000 people named "Guoqing" in 2010.
From at least the time of the Western Jin dynasty in the late 3rd century, the birthday of the emperor was celebrated as a national holiday.
After the Xinhai Revolution, the Republic of China celebrated its national day on October10.
Near the end of the Chinese Civil War, Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party began the People's Republic of China on September21, 1949.
This is sometimes known as "Chinese Independence Day".
The PRC leaders and 300,000 Chinese celebrated the creation of the new government on October1 in Tian'anmen Square.
At the first meeting of the first CPPCC on Oct.9, Xu Guangping introduced Ma Xulun's suggestion that China have a yearly national day celebrated apart from the birthday of the Communist Party.
They recommended it be October1, the day of Mao's public message.
The Central People's Government passed their suggestion on December2, making Oct.1 a yearly holiday.
National Day was celebrated with military parades in Beijing every year from 1949 to 1959.
By 1960, the problems during the Great Leap Forward caused the government to suggest saving money on celebrations.
From 1960 to 1970, there were no military parades but the day was still celebrated with large gatherings in Tian'anmen Square.
After the Ninth Congress, the big meetings in Beijing were discouraged in favor of smaller events at parks and other locations from 1971 to 1983.
1984 saw the first military parade in many years, celebrating the PRC's 35th anniversary.
There was another large military parade at the 50th anniversary in 1999, and a third at the 60th anniversary in the year after the Beijing Olympics.
Since the year 2000, National Day has been one of the country's Golden Weeks: there are three days of paid time away from work from Oct.1 to Oct.3 and two weekends around it are moved to make a 7 day long holiday.
The 2017 National Day was 8 days long, because it also included the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In 2014, the day before National Day became Martyrs' Day, celebrating the soldiers and other Chinese who died creating the PRC.
The holiday is associated with large military parades in Beijing.
The leaders of the Chinese Communist Party give speeches and watch from Tian'anmen, the southern gate of the Forbidden City, and millions of Chinese people watch from Tian'anmen Square and on television.
China no longer has these parades every year, but the idea now is to have a smaller parade every 5th anniversary and a larger parade every 10th anniversary.
When these parades occur, the city tries very hard to keep everyone safe and to make the event look good.
For the 2009 parade, the city police added 1,120,000 volunteers to patrol the streets.
50,000 policemen and women worked more than 25 hours without stopping for rest or sleep.
Every year, many large groups of flowers are put along Beijing's Chang'an Avenue.
The 2017 centerpiece measured  across its base and stood  high.
Lan Hailang and dozens of other designers and officials made it from April to September, with at least 70 big design changes.
The finished designs should show how China is getting better and what it plans to do next.
Parts of the 2017 flower designs show the Belt-and-Road Initiative to make China's connections with Central Asia better; other parts show ways Beijing and Tianjin are going to be better over the next few years.
In the evening, fireworks are set off in Beijing, Hong Kong, and other large cities.
There are also some singing, dancing, painting, and calligraphy celebrations.
In Shanghai, the Tourism Festival's Music Fireworks Festival happens during the weeklong holiday.
It is one of Asia's largest fireworks shows.
The long holiday also helps Chinese tourism, with millions of people traveling around the country visiting family members or sightseeing.
This leads to higher prices and crowds, though, so foreign visitors are usually encouraged to come at other times of the year instead.
The 1st day of the 2017 National Day vacation set records for the national rail system: more than 15 million trips were taken over 24 hours.

A hollow structural section (HSS) is a type of metal profile with a hollow tubular cross section.
The term is used predominantly in USA, or other countries which follow US construction or engineering terminology.
In the UK, or other countries which follow British construction or engineering terminology, the term HSS is not used.
Rather, the three basic shapes are referenced as CHS, SHS, and RHS, being circular, square, and rectangular hollow sections.
Typically, these designations will also relate to metric sizes, thus the dimensions and tolerances differ slightly from HSS.
A Structural pipe fitting, also known as a slip on pipe fitting, clamp or pipe clamp is used to build structures such as handrails, guardrails, and other types of pipe or tubular structure.
They can also be used to build furniture and theatrical riggings.
The fittings slip on the pipe and are usually locked down with a set screw.
The set screw can then be tightened with a simple hex wench.
Because of the modular design of standard fittings, assembly is easy, only simple hand tools are required, and risks from welding a structure are eliminated.
Other advantages of using structural pipe fittings are easy installation and reconfigurable design.
Since there are no permanent welds in the structure, the set screws of the fittings can simply be loosened, allowing them to be repositioned.
The project can be disassembled and stored if needed, or even taken apart with fittings and pipe recycled into a new project.
Fittings used for strong structures are galvanised malleable iron castings, and come in many styles such as elbows, tees, crosses, reducers and flanges.
The fittings are not threaded; they simply lock onto the pipe with the supplied hex set screws.
There are 3 arrondissements in the Isère department.
1790 : creation of the Isère department with four districts: Grenoble, Saint-Marcellin, La Tour-du-Pin and Vienne.
1800 : creation of the arrondissements: Grenoble, Saint-Marcellin, La Tour-du-Pin and Vienne.
1926 : the arrondissement of Saint-Marcellin was eliminated.
Perforated pipe is a pipe fitting that is made from perforated sheet and is often used as filter tubes but also used for various installments.
It comes in various forms, mostly round and square sections.

Charles "Teenie" Harris (July 2, 1908–June 12, 1998) was an American photographer.
The main things that he took pictures of were people in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US.
Harris was born in 1908 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
His father and mother had a hotel in the part of the city called the Hill District.
Early in the 1930s, he bought his first camera.
After that he opened a photography studio.
He took pictures for the magazine Flash!
From the 1936 to 1975 Harris took photos of those living in the black neighborhoods of the city.
Another publication called the Pittsburgh Courier published his photographs.
People called him "One Shot" because he did not make people sit for a long time when he took their photos.
He took more than 80,000 pictures in his life.
He wan't like other well-know photographers.
Other photographers either took portraits or photographs of other places.
Harris was unusual because taking photographs was part of his regular job in one city.
His photos were not often seen in other places until after his death in 1998.
Harris also photographed famous Negro League baseball players of the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords.
Harris himself played baseball for the Crawfords when they were known as the Crawford Colored Giants.
He let another businessman, Dennis Morgan sell his photographs in 1986.
Harris filed a lawsuit in 1998 for unpaid royalties and the return of his collection.
He won the case after he died.
The Carnegie Museum of Art purchased the collection from the Harris estate in 2001.
Since 2003, the museum has scanned and cataloged nearly 60,000 images.
Many of these are available online.
Many people help to identify the people in his photographs.
