On June 6, the fourth phase of the country's first party building media outdoor music story program "Seeking Sound" jointly produced by Shandong Satellite TV and Tencent Video was broadcast on Shandong Satellite TV.
Strikingly, the Tang Dynasty Band, a rock band with a history of more than 30 years, re-sang the Internationale by the Yellow River.
At the end of 1991, the Tang Dynasty Band sang the "International Song", a song of the proletariat for freedom and equality, in the form of rock and roll in their debut album "Tang Dynasty", which made people's blood boil and aroused strong repercussions in society.
After 30 years of vicissitudes, the Internationale is still vigorous and powerful, and its spiritual core has never changed. This version of the "Internationale" integrates a variety of elements such as harmony, strings, keyboards, drums and other elements in the arrangement, and the performance is more magnificent and atmospheric.

At the beginning, it was the personal solo of Ding Wu, the lead singer of nearly 60 years old, accompanied by Ding Wu's unique high-pitched voice with personal recognition, and the song gradually entered the chorus part.
This was followed by an emotional chorus of people, with tang dynasty bands singing outdoors in the reeds at the mouth of the Yellow River, interspersed with precious images of the Tang dynasty band singing the "Internationale" in Berlin in 1993.
In the program, the singing picture of the chorus "Yellow River Chorus" was interspersed in the singing of the Tang Dynasty band, and the two magnificent songs, although the background of the era created were not the same, the connotation of expression and the spirit of pursuit were the same.
The high-spirited tune and the water of the Yellow River rushing into the sea complement each other perfectly.
As the lead singer, Ding Wu gave people a strong visual impact in this singing, and like 30 years ago, Ding Wu is still the image of wanton and free, still familiar with the roar and broken sound, not deliberately pursuing skills, full of blood and courage.
A witness to the times – the Tang Dynasty Band
Perhaps for many people of the grandfathers and uncles, the Tang Dynasty Band is not an unfamiliar name, this band is China's grand heavy metal band, but also China's first heavy metal style rock band.
In the past two decades, they have changed members, disbanded, and reorganized several times. Their song styles are diverse, the west is used in China, the ancient is used for the present, and their songs have surpassed the ordinary meaning of rock music, pursuing a more atmospheric national spirit and poetic mood, and striving to achieve the ultimate in artistic rock with Chinese characteristics, and leaving many popular works.
Representative works of the Tang Dynasty include "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", "Flying Bird", "Sun", "International Song", "Moon Dream", "Romantic Knight", "Drunken Madness", "Yanyi", "Mang thorn" and so on.
In China in the 1980s, young people continued to accept the influence of foreign ideas, and their ideas became more and more diverse, and rock music was introduced to China as a music genre carrying a variety of art forms, initially in Beijing Gongti, and occasionally there were jazz bands performing in residence.
Then Cui Jian came with "Rock on the New Long March Road" and woke up the youth of that era with a catalytic effect, who shouted youth and blood through rock music.
Immediately after, the Tang Dynasty band broke out of the cocoon, and four young people with long hair and fluttering hair once again inspired that era with a shocking album "Tang Dynasty". After that, the three masters of magic rock performed at Hung Hom in Hong Kong, and Chinese rock music reached its peak.
Wu Tun, the lead singer of the famous underground band Tongue, once said at the first Midi Music Festival: Rock and roll is not important, what matters is you. This sentence later became the cultural memory of a generation, inspiring the deaf and inspiring, symbolizing the spiritual connotation of Chinese rock music.

The "Internationale" sung by the Tang Dynasty band was once the meeting song of the First and Second Internationals, enthusiastically praising the lofty communist ideals and heroic and indomitable revolutionary spirit of the Paris Commune fighters, and fully expressing the indomitable heroic courage of the revolutionary proletariat.
In 1920, the Chinese edition of the Internationale, translated by Qu Qiubai, appeared for the first time in China. Later adapted by the Tang Dynasty Band, its spirit of pursuing equality and breaking through the shackles made it a very influential song in the history of Chinese rock.
Wherever there is a Tang Dynasty, there is an international song.
Time flies, in 1993, the Tang Dynasty Band took "Internationale" to the Chinese Modern Music Station in Berlin, Germany, setting off a storm of the Tang Dynasty.
I remember that when Beyond listed the heavy metal bands in the mainland, he recommended the Tang Dynasty band with reverence and praised the Tang Dynasty's music very well.
A few years ago, the voice of China, Jay Chou said that the first rock album he heard about in the mainland was "Tang Dynasty", and praised Tang Dynasty at the scene of the program recording, and said that several young people with long hair on the cover left a deep impression on him.
