　　為了紀(jì)念1927年8月1日爆發(fā)的南昌起義，打響了中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨武裝反抗國(guó)民黨反動(dòng)派的第一槍。新中國(guó)成立以后，中國(guó)把8月1日定為中華人民共和國(guó)解放軍建軍節(jié)，并把“八一”定為解放軍軍旗和 軍徽的主要標(biāo)志。
每當(dāng)這一天，中國(guó)各地都會(huì)開(kāi)展一些活動(dòng)，來(lái)紀(jì)念中國(guó)人民解放軍的誕生，比如慰問(wèn)、文藝演出等等。建軍以來(lái)，這支部隊(duì)的名字幾經(jīng)改編，但是它所擁有的精神和優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)卻沒(méi)有變，依然是那支紀(jì)律嚴(yán)明的軍隊(duì)，依然是中國(guó)人民的保護(hù)神。
