国庆节的由来和习俗

国庆日是由一个国家制定的用来纪念国家本身的法定假日。它们通常是这个国家的独立、宪法的签署、或其他有重大意义的周年纪念日;也有些是这个国家守护神的圣人节。虽然绝大部分国家都有类似的纪念日，但是由于复杂的政治关系，部分国家的这一节日不能称为国庆日，比如美国只有独立日，而没有国庆日，但是两者意义相似，所以这里放在一起介绍。

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为国庆。

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。

美国国庆节布什发表广播讲话

Amercian President"s Radio Address for 2005 Independence Day

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Laura and I wish all Americans a happy Fourth of July weekend. I look forward to celebrating Independence Day with the people of Morgantown, West Virginia.

On the Fourth of July, we remember the vision and conviction of America"s Founders. We remember the ideals of liberty that led men from 13 colonies to gather in Philadelphia and pen a declaration of self-evident truths. And we remember the extraordinary personal courage that made their efforts a success. Doctor Benjamin Rush said that signing the Declaration of Independence was like signing your own death warrant. He signed it anyway -- right above his fellow Pennsylvania delegate, Benjamin Franklin.

On Independence Day, we are also mindful that the promises of the Declaration have been secured by the service and sacrifice of every generation. America"s first defenders were mostly farmers, artisans, and shopkeepers who waged a desperate fight for independence. Our Union was preserved through the costly battles of the Civil War -- including one at Vicksburg that ended on Independence Day, 1863. And we live in freedom because Americans prevailed in the hard-fought struggles of the 20th century, from the Marne and Normandy to Iwo Jima and Inchon Bay. America is home to 25 million military veterans -- and we will always be grateful for their unselfish courage.

Today, a new generation of Americans is defending our freedom against determined enemies. At posts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world, our men and women in uniform are taking the fight to the terrorists overseas, so that we do not have to face the terrorists here at home. And by freeing millions from oppression, our Armed Forces are redeeming a universal principle of the Declaration that all are created equal, and all are meant to be free. Those who serve today are taking their rightful place among the greatest generations that have worn our nation"s uniform.

The burden of war falls especially hard on military families, and I thank them for the support they give our troops in their vital work. Some of America"s finest men and women have given their lives in the war on terror, and we remember them on Independence Day. We pray for the families who have lost a loved one in freedom"s cause. And we know that the best way to honor the lives that have been given in this struggle is to complete the mission, so we will stay in the fight until the fight is won.

In this time of testing, all our troops and their families can know that the American people are behind them. On this Fourth of July weekend, I ask every American to find a way to thank men and women defending our freedom -- by flying the flag, sending letters to our troops in the field, and helping the military family down the street. The Department of Defense has set up a website - AmericaSupportsYou.mil. You can go there to learn about private efforts in your own community. At this time when we celebrate our freedom, we will stand with the men and women who defend us all.

In the summer of 1776, John Adams called the American Revolution the most complete, unexpected, and remarkable of any in the history of nations. And 229 years later, history has proved him right. The Fourth of July is a day to be proud of our heritage as freedom"s home and defender. It is a day to be confident in the future, because the spirit of our founders still shapes the conscience of our country. Above all, it is a day to give thanks to God for His many blessings on America, and for the privilege to call ourselves citizens of this special land.

I hope all Americans enjoy a memorable and safe Independence Day celebration. Thank you for listening.
