The term National Day, which originally referred to national celebrations, was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty. Lu Ji, a literary scholar of the Western Jin Dynasty, once recorded in the article On the Fifth Class Princes. In China's feudal era, the country's festive events were no greater than the enthronement and birth of the emperor, so in ancient China, the emperor's ascension to the throne and the birthday were called National Day.
