Peking Opera Song "Zhonghua"
In the four directions, the land of China,
The descendants of the dragon are Tianxingjian, and China's self-improvement lasts forever.
I am Chinese, Kunlun Taihang Qiankun Lang,
Houde towered over the world, and the mighty spirit soared into the clouds.
I China, the Yellow River Yangtze River ancient flow,
The blood veins blend into hundreds of rivers, and the tide races forward.
Looking back, the people are generous,
Lide made meritorious deeds and made promises, and searched up and down for five thousand years.
Heroes gather in the galaxy, and spring and autumn wait for the future sages.
Looking back on the past, the truth leads,
The red ship sails on the mission, and the divine blood recommends Xuanyuan.
Five stars out of the east, the avenue is wide in heaven and earth.
Look at this dynasty, the Great Wall and the country inside and outside the country,
Looking at this dynasty, green waters and green mountains are all over the holy world.
The red flag of the great cause of prosperity is bright, and the soul of the nation is built into a dream.
China is great, the country is the people,
Great China, the people are the country!

The work adheres to the people-centered creative orientation, gives the most enthusiastic praise to the great process of the people creating history, gives the most affectionate praise to all the fighters who struggle for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and all the heroes who sacrifice and dedicate themselves to the people, and at the same time highly condenses and shows the Chinese cosmology, world view, social view, and moral outlook, telling the Chinese story with heart and heart, showing the world a credible, lovely, and respectable Chinese image, so that the world can understand China, read the Chinese, read the Communist Party of China, and Read the Chinese nation.
Chinese civilization has a long history, is broad and profound, and is a unique spiritual identity of the Chinese nation. China's excellent traditional culture is the crystallization and essence of the wisdom of Chinese civilization, the root and soul of the Chinese nation, and the foundation for us to gain a firm foothold in the turmoil of world culture. With a strong historical initiative and grand historical perspective, "Zhonghua" extracts the theme from the changes of the times, the progress of China, and the call of the people, extracts the theme to show the beauty of Chinese history, the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the beauty of culture, carries forward the great spirit of party building and China's excellent traditional culture, expresses the aspirations of the Chinese nation's struggle, the power of creation, and the fruits of development, and shows the Chinese spirit, Chinese values, and Chinese strength in the new era in an all-round panoramic way. The work takes Peking Opera music as the element, combines the song structure with the Peking Opera plate cavity, and combines symphonic music with Peking Opera re-singing and chorus, which not only maintains the artistic characteristics of the traditional Peking Opera vocal cavity, but also integrates the modern music vocabulary and the means of expression of Chinese and Western music, forming a distinct artistic personality and characteristics. The rotation singing of the emotionally full and full of charm of Peking Opera veterans and Tsing Yi actors forms a stark contrast between the bright and beautiful tones of life and dan. The work combines the iconic melody of the song "The International Song" and "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" to form a resonant door. At the end, he repeatedly sang the praises of "China is great, Jiangshan is the people, great China, the people are Jiangshan", pushing the whole work to a climax.

Sons and daughters of China, let us sing the song "Zhonghua" together, enhance historical consciousness, strengthen cultural self-confidence, enhance national pride, gather up magnificent strength, and unite and struggle for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
