The National Day of the Republic of China, also known as Double Ten Day, is celebrated on October 10th and commemorates the start of the Wuchang Uprising in 1911, which led to the establishment of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912. The holiday was originally celebrated in mainland China but is now mainly celebrated in Taiwan, with some overseas Chinese communities also participating. In Taiwan, the celebration typically involves the raising of the flag, a public singing of the national anthem, a military parade, and cultural performances, including traditional Chinese and Taiwanese music and dance. The holiday has been criticized by some, including former president Ma Ying-jeou, for being referred to as "Taiwan National Day", as Taiwan was not part of the Republic of China when it was founded in 1912.learn more on wikipedia
