Why is July 1 day the birthday of the party? What's the special significance?

Because in May 1938, when the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was preparing to commemorate the 7th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC)/KLOC-0, a large number of attendees, such as Dong, only remembered that the first congress was held in July, but could not remember the specific date, so they took the first month of July as the party's birthday anniversary. Mao Zedong said in "On Protracted War": "July 1st this year is the 17th anniversary of the founding of China * * * Production Party."

194 1 year, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of China's * * * production party, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China officially issued the instructions of the central authorities on the 20th anniversary of China's * * production party and the 4th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, pointing out: "July 1 day this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s birth." Since then, July of 1 year has been symbolically designated as the birthday of the party.

Liberation Daily also commemorated the 20th anniversary of the founding of China's * * * production party with a full-page special issue, and published "China * * * production party and revolutionary war" written by Zhu De and "China * * production" written by Lin.

Around this time, the newspaper also reported a lot about the activities of Yan 'an party and government organs and people's organizations to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Party. This is the largest commemorative activity in the 20 years since the founding of the Party.

1 945 April 2 1 day, Mao Zedong said at the preparatory meeting of the seventh national congress in the Communist Party of China (CPC): "192 1 year, the first congress of our party was held in July, and we now set July1day as the party's anniversary." Since then, "July 1st" has been officially designated as the party's birthday.

It was not until the end of 1970s that the opening date of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was clearly verified by party history workers. According to the newly discovered historical materials and research results, the opening date of the first congress is determined to be 192 1 year on July 23rd.

Although the anniversary of the birth of the Party is not the specific date of the Party's first congress, July 1st, a glorious festival, has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the whole Party and people of all ethnic groups in China, and has become an important festival to be commemorated every year and a part of China's festival culture.
