Since the national flag was first raised in Tian'anmen Square on Oct 1, 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, the flag-raising ceremonies have marked numerous historic events for the nation and have evolved as the country has developed.
• Oct 2, 1949 — June, 1976
The flag-raising duty is handed over to the Beijing Power Supply Bureau. As there is no detailed plan for the ceremony, the bureau assigns a staff member to the task until June 1976.
