此節源於美國芝加哥城的工人大罷工.1886年5月1日,芝加哥的二十壹萬六千余名工人為爭取實行八小時工作制而舉行大罷工,經過艱苦的流血鬥爭,終於獲得了勝利.為紀念這次偉大的工人運動,1889年7 月第二國際宣布將每年的五月壹日定為國際勞動節.這壹決定立即得到世界各國工人的積極響應.1890年5月1日,歐美各國的工人階級率先走向街頭,舉行盛大的示威遊行與集會,爭取合法權益.從此,每逢這壹天世界各國的勞動人民都要集會,遊行,以示慶祝.
為紀念這次偉大的工人運動,1889年7月，在恩格斯組織召開的第二國際成立大會上宣布將每年的五月壹日定為國際勞動節，簡稱“五壹”。這壹決定立即得到世界各國工人的積極響應。1890年5月1日,歐美各國的工人階級率先走向街頭,舉行盛大的示威遊行與集會,爭取合法權益。從此,每逢這壹天,世界各國的勞動人民都要集會、遊行,以示慶祝。
中國人民慶祝勞動節的活動可追溯至1918年。這壹年,壹些革命的知識分子在上海、蘇州、杭州、漢口等地向群眾散發介紹“五壹”的傳單。
1920年5月1日,北京、上海、廣州、九江、唐山等各工業城市的工人群眾浩浩蕩蕩地走向街市、舉行了聲勢浩大的遊行、集會。李大釗專門在《新青年》上發表了《“五壹”運動史》，介紹“五壹”節的來歷和美法等國工人紀念“五壹”的活動，號召中國工人把這年的“五壹”作為覺醒的日期。陳獨秀也為慶祝這個節日發表了《上海厚生紗廠湖南女工問題》壹文，揭露資本家剝削工人剩余價值的真相。陳獨秀又在上海船務棧房工界聯合會作了《勞苦者的覺悟》的演說，闡明了“勞動創造世界”。“做工的人最有用最貴重”的觀點。在北京，壹些青年外出宣傳，散發《五月壹日勞工宣言》，喚起工人為反對剝削、爭取自身權利而鬥爭。這是中國首次紀念“五壹”國際勞動節的活動，也是中國歷史上的第壹個“五壹”勞動節。
新中國成立以後,中央人民政府政務院於1949年12月將5月1日定為法定的勞動節,是日全國放假壹天。每年的這壹天,舉國歡慶,人們換上節日的盛裝,興高采烈地聚集在公園、劇院、廣場,參加各種慶祝集會或文體娛樂活動,並對有突出貢獻的勞動者進行表彰。
1920年5月1日,北京,上海,廣州,九江,唐山等各工業城市的工人群眾浩浩蕩蕩地走向街市,舉行了聲勢浩大的遊行,集會,這就是中國歷史上的第壹個五壹勞動節.放後,中央人民政府政務院於1949年12月將五月壹日定為法定的勞動節,是日全國放假壹天.節日,舉國歡慶,人們換上節日的盛裝,興高采烈地聚集在公園,劇院,廣場,參加各種慶祝集會或文體娛樂活動,並對有突出貢獻的勞動者進行表彰.
1886年5月1日芝加哥城的工人大罷工
5月1日,國際勞動節,它是全世界工人階級鬥爭的歷史紀念,每個國家都很重視它,尤其是美國,加拿大,南非.事件起因是, 1880年美國工人遊行集會要求8小時工作制.1884年,聯邦貿易組織通過了壹項解決方案,以立法的形式規定從1886年5月1日開始執行每日8 小時工作制,但此後,工人們仍然被強迫每天工作10小時,12小時,甚至14小時,這使得該項立法明有實亡,而各地的聯邦首腦對此卻表示出十分冷淡和不友好的態度,於是壹場為爭取8小時工作的罷工開始了.
世界各國過"五壹" 慶祝特色各千秋
壹年壹度的“五壹”國際勞動節又到了，為了紀念這個全世界勞動人民團結戰鬥的節日，世界各國壹般都會舉行相應的慶祝活動。不過，並不是所有國家都將5月1日定為勞動節，那些同過“五壹”的國家，具體的慶祝方式和習慣也大不相同，我們不妨壹起來看看其他壹些國家是怎麽度過勞動節的。
***美國：勞動節發源地不過“五壹”
勞動節起源於美國。19世紀80年代，美國資產階級為了進行資本積累，對工人階級進行殘酷的剝削壓榨，他們用各種手段，迫使工人每天從事長達12到16小時甚至更多時間的勞動。美國廣大工人逐漸認識到，為了保障自己的權利，必須起來進行鬥爭。
從1884年開始，美國先進的工人組織通過決議，要為實現“每天工作8小時”而戰鬥，並提出“8小時工作；8小時休息；8小時娛樂！勞動者創造全部財富！”等口號。
1886年5月1日，美國芝加哥的工人舉行大罷工。那壹天，以芝加哥為中心，美國全國約35萬工人參加了罷工和遊行，要求改善勞動條件，實行8小時工作制。這場鬥爭震撼了整個美國。工人階級團結戰鬥的強大力量，迫使資本家做出了讓步，美國工人的這壹大罷工取得了勝利。
1889年7月，由恩格斯領導的第二國際在巴黎舉行代表大會。為了紀念美國工人的這次“五壹”大罷工，會議通過決議，將每年的5月1日定為國際勞動節。從此，世界各國的工人團體在這壹天舉行盛大慶祝活動，許多國家還放假壹天。
但是，特殊的是，美國政府後來在設立勞動節時，自行規定每年9月的第壹個星期壹為勞動節，所以美國人的勞動節不在5月，而在9月。
每逢9月的勞動節，美國人可以放假壹天，全美各地的民眾壹般都會舉行遊行、集會等各種慶祝活動，以示對勞工的尊重。在壹些州，人們在遊行之後還要舉辦野餐會，熱鬧地吃喝、唱歌、跳舞。入夜，有的地方還會放焰火。
***俄羅斯：遊行、集會、娛樂壹個都不少
自國際上設立勞動節以來，俄羅斯壹直比較重視這個特別的節日。“五壹”這天，俄羅斯全國放假，並舉行各種慶祝活動及群眾性遊行。
過去，上述活動主要是由政府組織，遊行隊伍中包括各企業、機關的代表。現在，除政府統籌的慶祝活動外，各種不同政見的非政府組織、勞工團體，都會在這壹天自發舉行各種慶祝活動，既可以借這個機會充分闡述各自的政見，又能擴大本組織的影響。
壹般來說，“五壹”遊行的隊伍要先穿過城市的主要街道、廣場，最後在古老的或者寬闊的中心廣場舉行大型集會和慶典。同時，俄羅斯各地的各種俱樂部還會舉行內容豐富、色彩繽紛的娛樂活動，人們的節日情緒很高。
***日本：勞動節逢“黃金周”
日本是壹個節日比較多的國家，5月1日前後的節日就很多，如4月29日植樹節、5月3日憲法紀念日、4日國民假日、5日兒童節，這些假日連起來，壹般日本人至少有壹周休息時間，最長的甚至達11天。
對工薪階層來說，這個長假的意義真是不同尋常。因此，在日本，勞動節專門的慶祝活動日漸被“五壹黃金周”所取代。而且從4月29日開始，日本就已經進入了“黃金周”。
日本全國的許多飯店、溫泉等娛樂設施，紛紛在“五壹”前打出各種廣告招攬遊客，普通旅館的房間價格也比平時提高壹倍以上。
今年4月29日，日本成田機場迎來了假日的第壹個高峰，當天從這裏出國的遊客超過4萬人，預計“黃金周”期間該機場運送旅客將達到81萬人。許多遊客選擇到夏威夷、塞班島、中國和東南亞等地旅遊。
***加拿大：9月勞動節標誌夏天結束
同為北美國家，加拿大與美國壹樣也是在每年9月的第壹個星期壹慶祝勞動節。在渥太華、多倫多等城市，每年勞動節時都會舉行遊行和集會，以此表彰工會組織下的工人對加拿大社會所做出的貢獻。
另外，比較與眾不同的是，在大多數加拿大人的概念中，這個9月的勞動節標誌著夏天的結束。壹般情況下，家長們會利用勞動節的假期給孩子買新學期的學習用品，商家也往往借機促銷文具。
***泰國、秘魯：放假壹天
泰國於1932年首次頒布勞工條例，隨後將每年的5月1日確定為國家的勞動節，以此嘉獎辛勤工作的勞動者。這壹天，泰國全國統壹放假壹天，在首都以及壹些大城市會有相關的慶祝活動，不過規模壹般都不會太大。
和泰國的情況比較類似，南美國家秘魯也規定5月1日為國家的勞動節，而且全國放假壹天。
***意大利：不慶祝不放假
英國、法國等歐洲國家都將“五壹”確定為勞動節，不少國家都放假壹天，還有的國家則根據情況將公***假期放在5月的第壹個星期壹。
不過，和世界大多數國家不太壹樣的是，意大利盡管承認“五壹”國際勞動節，政府也表示尊重勞工，但壹般人並不舉行專門的慶祝活動，也沒有全國性的“五壹”假期
