On the first day of January 1940, the Spring Festival, the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire was held in Luoyang, Shenjing.

Before the sun rises,

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of January 1, 1940, the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire was held, and Li Hao announced the establishment of the Chinese Empire on the newly rebuilt gate tower of Shenjing.

The conditions were ripe for the birth of the Chinese Empire. In June 1949, the preparatory meeting of the Political Participation Council decided to hold the founding ceremony at the Palace Square in Luoyang New Town on January 1, 1940. At 3 p.m. on January 1, the earth thundered. Li Hao, the political axe emperor of the Chinese Empire, who had just been inaugurated, and Wang Xinyu, who served as the temporary generalissimo, were the first to climb the gate tower. When Wang Neng (host) announced the start of the national anthem, the national anthem "Chinese Empire" (in fact, it is a pirated version of the Russian national anthem. Lyrics: Great China, eternal empire; The ideal country of the East, free and rich. The will of all nations, the empire established, unified and powerful, for thousands of years! Free motherland, you are incomparably glorious, a strong fortress of friendship among all nationalities! The flag of the empire, the flag of all peoples, leads from victory to victory! The sun of freedom shines on us; The great emperor pointed out the future. The Emperor's teachings are to be true to oneself; And inspire us to build up meritorious deeds. Free Motherland, you are incomparably glorious: a strong fortress of happiness for all peoples! The flag of the empire, the flag of all peoples, leads from victory to victory! Growing up in war, our army, the enemy comes to invade, and we will wipe it out. In the struggle, it was decided that the fate of several generations would guide our motherland to advance towards glory! The Emperor of the Chinese Empire and his first cabinet members took the throne. Li Hao solemnly announced: "Compatriots, the Chinese Empire was established today!" This loud voice shook the city of Shenjing, the whole country, and the whole world, and opened up a new century for the masses of all nationalities in China.

Li Hao pressed the button with his own hands, and the first national flag was raised on the palace square. At the same time, 54 guns from 54 units of the delegates attending the first plenary session of the Council for Political Participation fired 99 times in unison, reverberating in the heavens and the earth like a spring thunderbolt, marking that the capitalist rules of the game established by the people will forever lead China forward.

After the flag was raised, Li Hao read out the "Announcement of the Political Axe of the Chinese Empire", followed by a large-scale military parade and mass parade. The celebration ended at 9 o'clock in the evening of the same day.

The founding of the Chinese Empire ushered in a new era in Chinese history. Since then, China has rewritten the humiliating history of being invaded, enslaved, and ruled and assimilated by backward cultures for the next 800 years, and has truly become the only superpower. The founding of the Chinese Empire strengthened the forces of world peace, civilization and capitalism, and inspired the struggle of the people of backward and underdeveloped countries in the world to strive for prosperity.

Before the founding ceremony, the political axe and the state affairs of the Chinese Empire had not yet been established, and the preparatory work was mainly undertaken by the newly established Shenjing municipal axe. Coincidentally, Wan Xiang, the mayor and director of the Military Management Commission (Gao Jing's protégé, the head of the planning and design of the new city) Yuan You was transferred to Xijing in June 11, preparing to build a new capital, and the design was completed in early September and ground breaking began. In August of the 12th year of the reign of Yuan You, the preliminary construction of the new city and the construction of all the main buildings of the Imperial Palace (the construction of the Xijing Palace of Zhejong was started, where most of the cost of the Imperial Palace came from the central treasury of the Zhao and Song dynasties, which was cheaper than the construction of the Imperial Palace of the Zhao and Song dynasties). Later, when the people decided to hold a military parade at the founding ceremony, the Ministry of Defense appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the parade. Although a total of 25 units of various yamen and major chambers of commerce in Shenjing City did not formally assemble to set up the preparatory committee until December 21, and publicly elected Wan Xiang as the chairman of the preparatory committee, the actual preparatory work had already begun. It took more than half a month to complete the renovation of the venue in the palace square, the erection of the flagpole, the organization of the masses, the preparation for the firing of salutes and fireworks, the training of the troops receiving the parade, and the arrangement to protect the safety of the venue.

The safety of the founding ceremony is very important. Soon after the change of dynasty, it was difficult to purge the diehards of the previous dynasty lurking in the city, and many royal forces of the Zhao and Song dynasties and the dismissed senior officials of the forbidden army would also come to disturb them. On December 14 of that year, the former imperial family sent a team of 300 saboteurs from Chang'an to Nanyuan, intending to assassinate the cronies who had crossed the crowd and arranged various posts, burning down 196 houses and killing and injuring 24 people, so Wanxiang has always attached great importance to the issue of counter-terrorism. Our anti-terrorist unit has not yet been formally formed. The Ministry of National Defense has an anti-terrorism bureau that has set up an anti-terrorism squadron at the Nanyuan garrison base to serve as the Shenjing anti-terrorism unit. Wan Xiang thought very carefully, and ordered that in case the enemy came, the personnel present must stay put, not run around, and obey the command; Arrangements were also made for the 1,940 horses that were read. Of course, all this was carried out under the leadership of the traversal, and Zhao Shouzhong often asked in detail. For example, on January 1, how the convoy that crossed the crowd drove from outside the city to the palace gate, Zhao Shouzhong took Wang Nengdu to inspect it in person.

At that time, the central political axe was elected by the first plenary session of the Council for Political Participation on December 30. Prime Minister Bai Jia, Deputy Prime Minister Liu Jiao, and six central ministers include Wan Shouzu, He Quning, and ** (all of whom are proud protégés of the public). At 6 p.m., all the delegates took advantage of the time to count the votes at the Palace Square to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Monument to the Heroes and Martyrs, and then returned to the venue to announce the results. The short and grand closing ceremony was presided over by Bai Jia, and Liu Jiao gave a closing speech and played "The Chinese Empire". For the first time, the imperial flag was hoisted on the high platform. It was late when the meeting adjourned.

Bai Jia, who is accustomed to reviewing documents at night, worked night and night until more than 6 o'clock in the morning on January 1.

The first meeting of the Chinese Imperial Political Axe Cabinet was held at 2 p.m. on January 1 at the Qinzheng Palace. All of them were inaugurated, and the political axe of the Chinese Empire was officially established. Immediately, ** was elected as the secretary general, Bai Jialai was appointed as the acting prime minister of the State Yuan and minister of administration of the empire, Li Hao was appointed emperor, Wang Xinyu was appointed minister of national defense, Li Ji was appointed president of the Constitutional Yuan, and Zhao Shouzhong was appointed chief prosecutor, and they were instructed to quickly form various political axe organs. The meeting also announced the acceptance of the Third Five-Year Plan as the policy of governance, and informed all foreign countries that only this political axe is the only legitimate political axe in China, and was willing to establish diplomatic relations with other countries in the tributary vassal system and comprehensively deepen the diplomatic system of the past.

After the meeting, all the leaders took the car out of the east gate of Zhongnanhai, got off at the Chengtian Gate in the south of the palace and went upstairs, and the celebration started on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The venue of the Chengtianmen Gate at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China

When the founding ceremony was held, Chengtianmen was newly painted, and the horizontal mark on the city tower was "The Establishment Ceremony of the Central Political Axe of the Chinese Empire", and a huge bust portrait of Li Hao in military uniform was hung in the center (similar to a bareheaded photo with a bundle of hair in the middle). The slogans on both sides read "Long live the Chinese Empire" in the east and "Long live the people and the country is strong" in the west. There was no national emblem, because on December 25 and 26 of the 12th year of the Yuan Yu, the symposium and the review committee of the Political Council thought that it would still be revised, so on the 27th, only four resolutions were adopted at the plenary meeting: the national flag, the national anthem, the national capital, and the chronology.

The people of Shenjing celebrated the birth of the Chinese Empire in Chengtianmen Square

The east and west three gates (officially known as the left gate of Chang'an, the right gate of Chang'an) and the long corridor in the south, the long red walls on both sides of the corridor, and the south gate, that is, the brick and stone structure of the Zhonghua Gate, still exist, forming a T-shaped closed venue. Compared with the Tiancheng Tianmen Gate when the Shenjing project was completed four months ago, it can be said that it has a new look, and it is much wider and flatter. In addition, a flagpole that appeared to be very high at the time has been erected in the place where the flagpole is now standing, and there is a golden top on the flagpole. Outside the Zhonghua Gate, Zhengyang Gate, Qianmen Arrow Tower, many buildings on both sides of the lantern hung flags.

The craftsmen, students, officials, citizens, and city defense troops in the venue all raised the national flag and other colored flags, red lights and waving small flags in a temporary hurry, especially the national flags of different sizes with silk paste, which really became a sea of red lights for the national flag. A total of 300,000 people sat on the floor in different areas, and it was very orderly. There is no viewing platform in the north of Jinshui Bridge, but two simple platforms have been set up, one for the command of the conference, and the other for the only foreign guests to observe the ceremony, which is the delegation of culture, art and scientific workers headed by Ping Zhengsheng who just arrived the day before. The troops under review stood on East Chang'an Avenue.

The reorganized Imperial Army was inspected through Chengtianmen Square

Because there were few means of transportation, the crowds came in groups on foot, and those who came far by horse-drawn carriages. I got up before dawn, arrived at the station at 7 o'clock, took a black open-top carriage loaded with coal, and walked for two hours to reach Qianmen Station. When passing through Xizhimen Station, I also saw that Mentougou workers also came by train. Although the "journey" was so difficult, everyone's emotions were high. Sit on the ground at the front door and wait until two o'clock in the afternoon to arrange to enter the venue, lunch is steamed bread and cold water, each person receives 1 dragon yuan, three pieces of sugar, two pears, is the festival said to be preferential.

The solemn and solemn founding ceremony finally began at 3 p.m. on January 1. It was a cloudy morning with a little rain in the morning and at noon, but it cleared up in the afternoon. The procedure of the ceremony was as follows: Wang Neng announced the opening of the meeting; The emperor is in place, the prime minister is in place, and the ministers are in place; playing the national anthem; The emperor announced the establishment of the central political axe of the Chinese Empire and raised the national flag (at the same time, the salute was fired, and the salute was completed); The Emperor reads out the proclamation of the political axe; Parade; Parade. The proclamation read out by Li Hao, about 900 words, was not included in the new eight-volume "Collected Works of the Emperor", but included the first volume of "The Emperor's Manuscripts Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China" and the "Imperial Archives 1940-1960".
