The parade starts at 10 o'clock.
Generally speaking, the National Day parade is a small celebration in five years and a big celebration in ten years, so there is usually a parade every five and ten years, and the next most likely time for a parade will be the 70th anniversary of the founding of the country (2019), the 80th anniversary of the founding of the country (2029), the 88th anniversary of the founding of the country (2037), and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country (2049).
After the founding of New China, military parades were included as an important element of the National Day Ceremony according to a decision of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. From the Founding Ceremony in 1949 to the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1959, New China held a large-scale National Day parade in Tiananmen Square once a year, before and after **** held 11 times.
Origin of the parade
The earliest record of a military parade in Chinese history can be traced back to a meeting at Tushan more than 4,000 years ago. In Huai Nan Zi - Yuan Dao Xun (淮南子-原道训), it is said that once upon a time, Jiu Ji, the leader of the Xia tribe, built a very high wall to defend himself, and everyone wanted to leave him, and the other tribes were eyeing on Xia. Later, Yu became the leader, tore down the wall, filled up the moat, distributed the property to everyone, destroyed the weapons, and taught the people with morality.
It is said that at the assembly, Yu's men held weapons decorated with feathers and sang and danced to music to show their grand welcome to the chiefs of the southern tribes. The leaders of the clans and tribes who came to the meeting brought valuables like jade and silk to show their submission to Yu. Although Yu did not send a single soldier to the meeting at Tushan, his show of force was enough to intimidate the lords, thus "turning war into peace". Yu's behavior was, in fact, a prototype of the "military parade".
In the 11th century BC, King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty held a large-scale "military parade" at Mengjin and declared that he was going to conquer the Zhou Empire in order to do justice to heaven. Thereafter, King Wu led a large army eastward across Mengjin to fight the Shang army at Muo Ye, defeating King Zhou's main force and laying the foundation for the Zhou Dynasty.
