Chapter 818: The National Anthem

It's no wonder that Naya wonders, after all, the scene in the distance is too weird.

It could even be said that almost all of them, with the exception of them and a few other docks where ships had just docked, were all concentrated in the clearing, around the pole that resembled a telephone pole, and next to the big horn above.

Although Naya is still very young and doesn't know how to read people, it can be clearly seen that the faces of the Chinese around the horn all show expressions of expectation and excitement, which makes Naya really confused――――――Well, in fact, not everyone is looking forward to it, but those who are not 'expecting' have basically been blown away.

On the other hand, just as the person in charge was about to answer, the horn suddenly sounded.

Seeing this scene, the person who had already planned to speak had no choice but to close his mouth again.

But...

He was going to take the Taris and his wife away, but now he seemed to have roots under his feet, and he was motionless. Obviously, his heart is also full of expectations for this speech.

It's not just him, at this moment, across the country, tens of millions of Chinese people around the broadcast, almost all of them are looking expectant, looking at the equipment set up in high places. At this time, in order to be able to hear Yan Shao's next speech clearly, even the slightest noise would be stopped by them.

The vehicles in those cities didn't even dare to honk their horns in the process of shading. I'm afraid it will affect the voice of the speech. Some even simply parked their cars on the side of the road, intending to wait until they were done listening to the speeches before walking...

Naturally, this qiΔ“ Yan Shao is invisible. Eleno, who was standing outside the studio, couldn't see either, as did Naya and Mr. and Mrs. Tarris, who were inexplicable.

But...

But someone saw...

The people who surround the broadcasting equipment, the journalists who are recording history...

At least this qiΔ“, they saw it...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just when Naya was curious, the horn suddenly sounded, and the man in black who had planned to explain before also raised his finger. Motioned for Naya to speak quietly. Then Naya felt that a strange scene had happened, all over the port, except for the horn that was constantly making some harsh sounds. Hardly any sound was ever heard again.

Those around you, even in the process of walking, will carefully slow down their pace, let alone speak loudly.

It can be said that the port of today. Except for that horn. The only sounds were the sound of the wind, the waves, and the chirping of seabirds in the sky, and this scene couldn't help but make Naya feel weird.

On the other hand, after the horn rang for a while, a sound finally came out...

"Hello distinguished listeners, this is China News Radio, sorry to disturb you in your busy schedule..."

A pleasant female voice came out of the speaker, albeit because of the wireless device. The sound quality is not very good. But at least the people in the harbor can hear it clearly, and to the people of this era. This is obviously one of the things that is very satisfying for them...

Almost under the attention of everyone around, the horn in the high place vibrated and kept coming out. It's just that the protagonist that everyone is looking forward to today is obviously not this person, so although the voice is so pleasant, even so pleasant that many young people begin to imagine how beautiful the owner of this voice will be, it doesn't take long for people to start getting impatient.

After all, the way everyone looks today is not to listen to this voice.

It seemed that the owner of the pleasant voice himself knew this, so after some explanation, after about a minute or two, the voice soon spoke. "Next, I would like to ask the President to address a national audience..."

As he spoke, a shrill sound came from inside the speaker, followed by a burst of passionate music.

Although the sound is more or less distorted because it is a wireless broadcast, the people on the port can still hear it, and the national anthem of the national government is played on the loudspeaker...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The national anthem, that is, the song that expresses the national spirit of a country, is a piece of music that is considered by the government and the people to represent the will of the government and people of the country, and is used to praise and encourage the confidence and cohesion of a nation. Generally speaking, they will have patriotic overtones and evoke people's deep feelings for the country.

The oldest national anthem in the world is the Dutch "Wilhelm? Every? Nasu, which was established as the national anthem in 1568.

The most borrowed national anthem is the British "God Save the King", which was first played in 1745 and was officially established as the national anthem in 1825. Switzerland, Tsarist Russia, and more than 20 other countries have used the score.

Naturally, as one of the major countries in the world, China also has its own national anthem. The earliest national anthem of China is probably "Gong Jinou" of the former Qing Dynasty. Naturally, before such a national anthem, China also had some other national anthems. For example, "Putianle", which was written by Zeng Jize, a diplomat in the Qing Dynasty, when he was on a foreign mission, but because there was no momentum, it attracted many criticisms instead of guΓ².

In addition, the 1896 "Li Zhongtang Music" was played by Li Hongzhang when he was on a foreign mission.

Then came the 1906 "Ode to the Dragon Flag", when the Qing Imperial War Department was established and composed an army song "Ode to the Dragon Flag", which was used by Qing Dynasty officials as the national anthem.

Yu Si Wannian, the Great Empire of Yadong!

The mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the rivers stretch the waves of civilization;

There are 400 trillion people and gods, and the land is large and rich.

Yang I Yellow Dragon Imperial Emblem. Sing the Song of My Empire!

After that, it was Gong Jinou in 1911, but not long after the national anthem was written. The Qing Dynasty perished.

As for the subsequent song, it is the "Song of the Republic of the Five Banners" composed during the period of the Nanjing Provisional Government, which was used in history until 1915, when it was replaced by Yuan Shikai's "China Stands in the Universe"...

Merely...

Not to mention the complex contradictions between Yan Shao and Sun Yat-sen, as a latecomer, Yan Shao himself does not appreciate the "Five Banners Republic Song" very much. After all, in Yan Shao's opinion, the lyrics or rhythm of this song are not very imposing. It doesn't meet Yan Shao's appetite at all.

Thereupon...

Not long after the establishment of the national government, Yan Shao ordered the national anthem to be changed.

Naturally, this incident also caused a lot of opposition at the time. After all, at that time, the Five Flags Republic Song had been used for a while, so it was impossible to change it so rashly without opposition...

However, the Kuomintang government at that time had just been established, and almost all the opposition forces in the country were defeated by Yan Shao. There are almost no voices that can oppose Yan Shao. And so it goes. Under Yan Shao's insistence, this order was quickly obtained―――――― of course, in the eyes of the people at that time, the reason why Yan Shao did this was entirely because of his personal enmity with Sun Yat-sen.

As the current president, Yan Shao would not like the national anthem of ZΓ i during the Sun Yat-sen period anyway, so it became inevitable to change it, so although he was a little dissatisfied. But there is nothing others can do but follow Yan Shao's order to solicit some more imposing. It's also more worthy of Chinese songs...

And then...

Didn't find it...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

It's not that the huge China can't even make a song, it's just that some artists or writers in this era can't produce songs that meet Yan Shao's requirements, whether it's music or lyrics.

Even if there are a few songs that look good, they also seem crepe and soft, which makes Yan Shao, who is used to the passionate music of later generations, feel a little disgusted with it.

The sound of glamour, this is not Yan Shao's liking―――――― of course, ordinary pop music is okay, but the national anthem is also like this...

But on the other hand, looking at the choice in front of Yan Shao, Yan Shao's heart was helpless. In the end, when there was no way, Yan Shao could only compose a very passionate song himself.

Of course, it seems a little incorrect to write it yourself, and the correct way to say it should be to copy it...

――――――――――――――――――――――

In later generations, if we talk about other music and songs, it may be really difficult to tell which country is better. But if you ask a person and ask him which country's military music is the best, then this person will definitely tell you without hesitation!

"Soviet Union!"

Indeed, no matter how many shortcomings the Soviet Union had in later generations, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, the military music of the Soviet Union was indeed the first-class in the world. It is not even possible to find out how many can be compared with the Soviet military music.

But...

What Yan Shao copied was not the military music of the Soviet Union, but should be said to be a piece of music composed according to the taste of Maozi in later generations.

Despite the hairiness of this piece, it was the Americans who wrote it.

And the name of this music is also very simple, and it is very direct ―――――― Su W Ae March!

In later generations, Yan Shao can be said to like this music very much, because this music is not only a tune, but even the lyrics are very exciting. It fully meets the requirements of Yan Shao's momentum, and it is also much higher than those soft music...

The only trouble is that the issue of copyright, fortunately, it seems that only Yan Shao has crossed over in later generations, so there is no need to worry...

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Yan Shao began to write the lyrics on the snow-white paper.

"The military song is loud and loud, and the red flag is fluttering. From Everest to the Pacific Ocean, this is our great China. Glory shines on the earth..."

When this song was announced, people were surprised that Yan Shao could actually write a song, and they were also surprised by the excitement of this song.

Although while listening. People can't help but frown at some of the overly aggressive lyrics in the song. But on the other hand, they do have to admit that compared with this song, those songs in the past, including the original 'Five Flags Republic Song', have been 'softer' in the past. It can even be said that there is no momentum at all.

Therefore, although there are still some people who oppose Yan Shao's mention yì, in the end, Yan Shao's mention yì still gets tongguò, and this song has thus become the national anthem of the national government. And resounded throughout the land of China, and even resounded in foreign lands with the expeditionary force to conquer Europe and the Middle East...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Listening to the song coming from the loudspeaker, although the sound was a little distorted, the hearts of the people around me became a little excited. Followed by. I don't know who started first, but suddenly someone started singing along with the music in the horn, and the first person took the lead. Soon more people began to sing along, and gradually, almost all the people around the horn began to sing spontaneously, gradually. The entire port. No, the whole city is boiling to be exact. Naya, who was covering her ears, even had the illusion that the ground and even the air were shaking during the song...

This is not a chorus of tens of thousands of people, but a chorus of hundreds of thousands of people across the city. In the face of such power, even the earth will be shaken.

Listening to the singing around them, Naya and Taris couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands, just like other foreigners in Tianjin Port now. After that, Naya and the others looked at the man in black who came to pick them up with some surprise and his companions. Singing there in a very passionate voice...

For the thoughts of these Chinese in front of them, Naya and Taris naturally do not understand at all. The expression of extreme excitement made them feel a little frightened. Only those who have suffered humiliation can understand the importance of a song that stirs up national feelings.

It is precisely for this reason that during the Great Patriotic War, Soviet Russia, which was already in a desperate situation, composed so many classic songs that were sung in later generations. No matter how much you have opinions about Soviet Russia, you have to admit one thing, that is, the military song of Soviet Russia is indeed the most exciting in the world, and it is also one that can boost morale...

Farewell to the Slavs, crossing the mountains and plains, sacred war, steppe, steppe, song of the defenders of Moscow, Katyusha, cranes, in the forests near the front, if the war is tomorrow, these are almost all classic Russian songs...

And for Yan Shao, who was anxious to boost the morale of the army at that time, there was nothing more inspiring than such a high song. In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Yan Shao didn't like the original national anthem, of course, the rhythm of the national anthem is very beautiful, and the lyrics are also very good, at least it is very gorgeous, but such a national anthem is definitely not suitable for China at that time.

At that time, China was almost in despair, and they needed songs that could make people burst out of power, not the kind that would be soft when they listened to it. Can you imagine that when soldiers are fighting on the battlefield, they sing a soft song in their mouths?

At least Yan Shao couldn't, so he abandoned the original one.

As for the relationship between him and Yan Shaona, it was not in his consideration.

Of course, Yan Shao didn't want to write by himself, but unfortunately, he didn't have that talent...

As for why Yan Shao did not choose the real national anthem of Soviet Russia in history, it is also known as the most majestic national anthem in the world, "Unbreakable Alliance". On the one hand, it's because you always have to save some face for Soviet Russia, isn't it? On the other hand, it's also because this song is too unlucky.

You see, an unbreakable alliance, the meaning is very simple, that is, Soviet Russia itself is unbreakable. But what happened to Soviet Russia in the end? The originally unbreakable alliance was finally shattered, although Yan Shaomian was reluctant to be an atheist, and he didn't believe in this kind of ghost and god thing, but he still had some jealousy in his heart...

So, although this song is also good, in the end, Yan Shao still chose 'Su W Ai March'...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the docks, the song was sung until it sounded again through the horns, and then stopped. Naturally, there are some people who are already addicted to singing and are unwilling to stop, but under the force of others, they finally have to keep their mouths shut obediently.

After all, they came today to listen to Yan Shao's speech, not to perform a chorus...

Having said that, the chorus that almost shook the world just now was still a great shock. While there was some regrettable pause, some people also made up their minds, thinking about whether to do a similar chorus after a while.

The chorus just now really made some people addicted...

"It's a very passionate song..."

After the song ended, he put down his ears and looked at the excited expressions of those around him, and Mr. Taris couldn't help but sigh.

And the excited expressions of those Chinese around him, I don't know why, also made him feel a sense of foreboding.

This also gave him the idea of leaving here as much as possible, at least before he could tell him about this thought to the man in black on the side, he heard a familiar voice suddenly come from inside the loudspeaker.

Although the business was a little distorted, and even though it had not been heard in a long time, it was still a voice that was all too familiar to Taris.

On the other hand, listening to the slightly magnetic voice coming from the loudspeaker, and looking at the excited expressions of the people around her, I don't know why, Naya suddenly wanted to meet this man who seemed to be her brother-in-law... (To be continued......)
