Mao Ze, October 1, 1949___ The founding of the people's Republic of Chinawas announced on Tiananmen Square, and the first five-star red flag of new Chinawas personally raised. 300000 people in the capital participated in the grandceremony.
In the north of Tiananmen Square, there is a main street running throughthe East and west of Beijing - Chang'an Street; the five-star red flag is flyinghigh along the north edge of the square; the monument to the people's Heroesstands in the center of the square; Chairman Mao's memorial hall is located inthe South of the monument, where the former Daming gate, Daqing gate andZhonghua Gate are located; Zhengyangmen tower and Jianlou tower are thebuildings at the south end of the square; the Great Hall of the people islocated in the west side of the square; The National Museum of China is locatedon the east side of the square.
First of all, let me introduce Chang'an Street. Chang'an Street in the Mingand Qing Dynasties was divided into two sections. The East Chang'an Street wasfrom the left gate of Chang'an to Dongdan pailou, and the West Chang'an Streetwas from the right gate of Chang'an to Xidan pailou, with a total length ofabout 10 Li, commonly known as "10 Li Long Street".

With a total length of 92 Li, it is known as"hundred Li Long Street".
After Chang'an Street, you can get to the north side of the square. Thefirst thing we see is the flag and flagpole. The designer of the national flagis Mr. Zeng Liansong. In 1991, China promulgated the national flag law. In orderto meet the requirements of the new ceremony of raising and lowering thenational flag, the original flagpole base and flagpole were reformed. Thereconstructed flagpole base covers an area of 36 square meters, surrounded bywhite marble railings and 2-meter-wide steps. The outer ring of the base ispaved with ochre red granite more than 2 meters wide, and the outermost layer isa green belt 5 meters wide. The guardrail outside the green belt is composed of56 golden copper isolation piers, symbolizing the unity of 56 nationalitiesunder the national flag. The new flagpole is made of seamless steel tube, 32.6meters high, assembled in 4 sections, weighing 7 tons. After special treatment,it can reach 20 meters___ No rust in years.
In addition, the "National Flag Law" stipulates that the flag raisingceremony is divided into two kinds: Festival flag raising and weekday flagraising.

At that time, 36 officersand soldiers of the national flag guard of the Chinese people's Armed PoliceForce and 60 members of the military band will form a guard of honor, and themilitary band will play the National Anthem live. During the flag raisingceremony, only 36 officers and soldiers of the national flag guard performed thetask of guard of honor, and the national anthem was recorded during theceremony. The rising and falling time of the national flag is determinedaccording to the time of sunrise and sunset every day. The whole process is 2minutes and 7 seconds.
