The History of National Day?

On October 10, 1911, a revolt broke out in Wuchang, a city in Hubei Province, led by revolutionary forces opposing the Qing Dynasty. This uprising spread rapidly across China and led to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, ending over 2,000 years of imperial rule.

The Xinhai Revolution, named after the year 1911 in the Chinese calendar system, set the stage for the creation of a modern Chinese republic.

On January 1, 1912, the Republic of China (ROC) was officially proclaimed in Nanjing, with Dr. Sun Yat-sen as the provisional president.

The Republic of China (ROC) adopted October 10, the start of the revolution, as its National Day, celebrating the overthrow of monarchy and the birth of republican governance.

Following the Chinese Civil War, the People's Republic of China (PRC) was established on the mainland by the Chinese Communist Party in 1949.

The Republic of China (ROC) government, led by the Kuomintang (KMT), retreated to Taiwan, where it continued to govern under the ROC Constitution.

Despite losing international recognition as "China" after the 1970s, the Republic of China (ROC) in Taiwan continued to celebrate October 10 as its National Day, emphasizing its own historical continuity and identity.
