Introduction: We all know that a country's national anthem, national flag, and national emblem represent their confidence and pride in the face of foreigners, and to put it bluntly, they are the symbols of the country. They express the three views of the country. So let's talk about our National Anthem of China, every time you hear the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, it will make people feel very excited. So much so that at some extraordinary moments, just listening to the accompaniment in front of you will bring tears to your eyes. Because after all, this is the national anthem of the Chinese nation. This song records the history of our Chinese nation for thousands of years. There is also the endless life of yanhuang's descendants.
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army made a sophisticated plan, and their railway "garrison" destroyed the tracks of the South Manchuria Railway around Wicker Lake in Shenyang, and wanted to put the matter in the hands of the Chinese army. The Japanese used this as an excuse to create the infamous September 18 Incident. This is also the starting point of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the next fourteen years.
On September 19, 1931, the Japanese army occupied Shenyang. Later, it directly occupied the three northeastern provinces and formed a puppet regime of puppet Manchukuo. At the juncture of life and death for the country, many enthusiastic young people stood up to resist Japan. With their lives and spirits, they built an indestructible Great Wall of Steel, and in 1945 we succeeded in driving the Japanese army out of China.
Although a long time has passed since this incident, we must not forget the unforgettable history of that time, because the peace now was brought to us by countless revolutionary martyrs with their blood and even their lives. Speaking of Japan, they also have their own national anthem, but the lyrics of the Japanese national anthem record a completely different content. The name of Japan's national anthem is "Jun's Generation".
The song was originally composed by a musician named Okyoshi in the Japanese Imperial Palace, and then the leader of the infantry team, Oyama Iwa, listened to the score and created a word to match the national anthem. We all know that the national anthem is different from ordinary pop songs, and it is not possible to write lyrics according to personal preferences. The national anthem generally contains a very long historical connotation, and there is also a certain patriotic feeling that is integrated.
Japan's Meiji era began in 1868, and at that time Japan slowly began to move towards a modern country and began to transform, but at that time there was still no song that could be used as a "national anthem". So in 1869, a music teacher in the British Army who was working in Yokohama at that time was named John. William. The people of Fenton knew that Japan did not have a national anthem, so he played the British national anthem "God Bless My King" to the musicians of the Japanese Military Band.
He also told them about the importance of the national anthem to a country, and he said at the time that if anyone could come up with lyrics, he would do his best to help compose the music. After the Japanese band members told their superiors about it, they hoped that Oyama Iwa, the leader of the Satsuma Domain Infantry Brigade, who was very accomplished in Japanese and history, as well as literature, would design very good lyrics for the Japanese national anthem. Later, using traditional scales for modification, they decided to use the tone designed by Hayahiro Mori. On The day of Emperor Meiji's birthday on November 3, 1880, the newly designed national anthem was played for the first time in the imperial palace. It has been used in Japan until now. The name of the Japanese national anthem is "Jun's Generation", and the whole song has a total of four sentences and 28 words.
When we turned it into a Chinese version, we found that it was very similar to the seven sentences in Chinese Tang poetry. But it is precisely because we have turned it into Chinese that we realize that the ambitions of the Japanese have reached such a large point. Let's first explain the lyrics of the Japanese national anthem: Our emperor ruled for thousands of generations, passed down to eight thousand generations, waiting for small stones to become boulders, waiting until the boulders were covered with moss.
What does this song mean? We only need to understand the first half to be very easy to understand. "Jun's Generation" probably means to praise the japanese emperor's rule for passing on to thousands of generations, and even to the eight thousand generations. Wait until the small stones become huge stones, and wait until the huge stones are covered with moss.
Conclusion: I think that qin shi huang was equally cheeky after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty and said that he was "ordained by heaven and lived forever". He was the first emperor in Chinese history, and those behind him can only be said to be the second, third, or even wanshi.
