李中堂樂
The Tune of Li Zhongtang (simplified Chinese: 李中堂乐; traditional Chinese: 李中堂樂; pinyin: Lǐ Zhōng táng Yuè) is the first semi-official national song of China, written by Li Hongzhang in 1896 during the Qing dynasty. As an unofficial anthem for the dynasty, it was so named because "Zhongtang" was a bureaucratic title meaning viceroy or grand secretary.[1]
In 1896, (the 22nd year of Guangxu), Li Hongzhang (李鴻章), Minister of Beiyang and Governor of Zhili, paid a diplomatic visit to Western Europe and Russia. As a national anthem was requested for the welcome ceremony, Li Hongzhang adopted a Tang dynasty poem by Wang Jian for the event.
As a former commander of the Beiyang Fleet, Li also wrote an anthem for it to the same tune.[1]
In the Golden Palace, amongst the overlapping purple pavilions, Like a jade lotus flower in an immortal's palm, The Son of Heaven of Supreme Peace pays tribute to Heaven's sun, In its five-colour chariot of clouds, drawn by six dragons.
