The two tiger songs are derived from military songs

[Two tiger songs are derived from military songs] Two tigers turned out to be military songs? "Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast, one without ears, one without a tail, it's strange, it's strange..." The children's song "Two Tigers" is a household name, but what many people don't know is that there are multiple other original versions of this nursery rhyme. In July 1926, the National Revolutionary Army swore an oath to the Northern Expedition, in order to boost morale and mobilize the people, the instructors of the Whampoa Military Academy arranged and filled in the lyrics, and the "National Revolutionary Song" turned out to be a complete success. "Down with the great powers, down with the great powers, except for the warlords, for the warlords, for the national revolution, for the national revolution, for the national revolution, for the struggle together." Subsequently, the "Song of the National Revolution" was changed to "Down with Old Chiang Kai-shek" and "Song of the Agrarian Revolution" and other versions. After the founding of New China, the "National Revolutionary Song" was passed on by word of mouth in the form of the nursery rhyme "Two Tigers". (Hubei Daily, National Humanities and History)
