It is better for a man to be young if he has ambition first. Brother and brother are holding hands to do military exercises. The soldier holds the command knife and the soldier fires the gun. The dragon flag flutters and the bronze drums chime. Exercise once, and then exercise every day until you are healthy. In the future, men will make contributions to the war and aim high.

This is China's first school song, which was born in 1903. 100 years ago, modern civilization was exposed in the new school, and the goal of new education was to cultivate a healthy body and a sound mind. 1904 There are more than 4,200 new schools nationwide with about 260,000 students.

Students, students, students, read carefully. Go flat and enter four tones, and every word should be clear. Pronunciation should be accurate, reading should be diligent and explanation should be clear. Pay attention to the pronunciation and meaning of every word, and progress will win over others.

Scholars are very different from the past. Students with pigtails are sitting in the lecture hall, studying English, geometry, chemistry and biology. Braids also have a new function, which can be used as compasses to draw. Physical education and music are the most interesting and popular subjects. Students sing about the rivers and mountains of the motherland and encourage training and self-cultivation.

the Yangtze River

Very long, the Yangtze River, the largest river in Asia. It comes from Qutang, Xixia, Qinghai, winding like a dumpling python. Rolling down Jingyang, thousands of miles away, the Yellow Sea and the Yellow Sea. Running my country is the glory of history.

Dragon, Dragon, Yangtze River Longevity The Yangtze River Longevity is boundless. Excellent people are influenced by spirit, and happiness belongs only to me. Training and self-cultivation, the country will strive for self-improvement in ten years. The Yellow River faces north and the Pearl River faces south. Brothers should not forget each other.

Meowed, the whistle flew out of Huang Xie Pu. Wusonggong * * * Jiangmen new commercial port opens. There is no old fort, and there is a live sand shop at the bottom of the river. Turning the rudder in the northwest, looking back 36 miles, the smoke is blurred.

These songs 100 years ago have a specific name, called school songs. Some foreign students who were influenced by modern music recorded the children's joy in those years by using the melody of European, American and Japanese songs and filling in the lyrics that can be written as well.

kite

It's sunny in February and March, so I finish my homework and leave school early. Spring breeze and warm paper owls have been given to my parents for a long time. My parents smiled and told me that my homework was very good and I regarded it as high as the sky.

There are also some songs that describe the feelings of young people in Shan Ye who are close to the countryside and nature.

cattle rearing

Put the cow on the mountain, and the grass will grow on the mountain; Let the cows go down the mountain, and the flowers will smell under the mountain. The old cow ate happily and even praised the food. The shepherd boy had a good time and sang folk songs casually.

Jiangnan in spring always makes people want to sing loudly. The Yangtze River Delta is the area where China first came into contact with western civilization. In the childhood memory of that era, there are also distant echoes of school songs brought by swallows and springs.

Yan Yan

Yanyan! Yanyan! Don't come next year. Fly! Fly! Lend you two or three rafters. Your old nest portal is incomplete. Go and fetch the soil and grass and mend it while it is still light.

Yanyan! Yanyan! Do not stay indoors. Close the window! Close the window! I have to ask you to come back. You'd better move your new nest under the eaves. It's convenient for you and convenient for me. We haven't been like each other for a long time.

The contact between ancient China and modern civilization was accompanied by concessions, unequal treaties, huge trade deficit and humiliation. At that time, intellectuals also recorded their sense of responsibility for the rise and fall of the country through school songs and learned the sense of hardship of modern civilization.

Xue mian

The slaves and the red race were consumed one after another, but I, the yellow race, snored and didn't wake up. Yadong mainland will sink and become king in one song. Listen. Life must be learned in time, and a hundred days will be good. At the end of the day, time is idle and the old man is sad. Close to Japan, far from Europe and America, the world civilization is the second. Teenagers try to love themselves, but sometimes they won't come back.

The slaves and the red race were consumed one after another, but I, the yellow race, snored and didn't wake up. 1in the winter of 904, Japan and Russia fought for colonies in China, which triggered the Japanese-Russian war between Dalian and Lushun. The cowardly Qing government actually declared neutrality. Yang Du, a Hunan poet who studied in Japan, wrote the poem "Yellow River", feeling that the country had been weak for a long time and was bullied by others. Shen Xingong, another student studying in Japan, wrote Yellow River, the earliest campus music song written by the Japanese themselves.

the Yellow River

Yellow River The Yellow River comes from Kunlun Mountain and flows into the Great Wall from Mongolia. The ancient sages gave birth to this river. On the independence embankment, my mind is open.

Outside the Great Wall, beside the Hetao River, yellow sand and white grass are barren. Thinking of 100,000 soldiers, they marched to the northwest, drank in Liang Hai, and rode on the Wulashan Mountain, never losing. Blow the cymbals and watch me win.

At that time, the number of schools in Shanghai was the largest in China, and news about students studying in Japan was often heard on campus. Chen Tianhua jumped into the sea and died, Zou Rong was a pawn in the revolutionary army, Qiu Jin's generosity, and some radical publications spread the revolutionary thought of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty in China. China Boy, a widely sung school song, best reflects the bloodiness and determination of overseas students at that time to devote themselves to the revolution.

Chinese men

China people, China people, hold up the sky with one hand. A lion sleeping for a thousand years, a lion sleeping for a thousand years. The Yangtze River, the east of Asia, the Kunlun Mountains in Hubei, the Great Wall with long wings, and the land of abundance, is the god of multi-purpose macro and Yellow Emperor. Wind, tiger, dragon, all countries come together, and the favored ones are vertical and horizontal. China people, China people, hold up the sky with one hand. A lion sleeping for a thousand years, a lion sleeping for a thousand years. I have a treasure knife, generously joined the army, fought the middle stream, fought the battlefield, and won the battle. I have many strange husbands since ancient times, and my blood is still red.

"I can't be a man, but my heart is stronger than a man." 1904, Qiu Jin broke free from the shackles of his family and went to Japan to study and join the league. Two years later, Qiu Jin, who returned to Shanghai, founded China Women's Daily to publicize women's liberation and equality between men and women and criticize feudal ethics and customs that oppressed women. The newspaper was blocked by the Manchu government after only two issues. In the second issue, Qiu Jin's school song "Encourage Women's Rights" was published, and the lyrics first mentioned the talent of equal rights between men and women.

Encourage women's rights

My generation loves freedom and encourages it with a glass of wine. Men and women are given equal rights. Why not stay behind the cow? I am willing to extricate myself and wash away the shame of the past. If you are a colleague, you can restore your hands.

Old habits are the most shameful, and women are even like cattle and horses. Dawn is new and free, leading independently. May slaves be eradicated and knowledge and experience gained. The responsibility lies with the shoulders, and the national women's excellent period is not negative.

At the beginning of last century, in China, where the phenomenon of female infanticide was still common, girls had very few opportunities to receive modern education. 1906, there were only 306 female students in China. Besides teaching female students, there were also songs specially written for women's gymnastics classes in the school songs.

Gymnastics (women)

Jiao Jiao, a good term, is definitely not suitable for us. I want both knowledge and health. Fuck, fuck, in the twentieth century, my generation was also a hero.

Jiao Jiao, a good term, is definitely not suitable for us. He is afraid to be as tall as the white man and as small as the yellow man. Fuck, fuck, in the twentieth century, my generation was also a hero.

Jiao Jiao, a good term, is definitely not suitable for us. My head is held high every day, and my feet are not shaking. Fuck, fuck, in the twentieth century, my generation was also a hero.

Many songs in the school songs promote the spirit of martial arts, hoping to inspire people to resist foreign aggression. Liang Qichao, a thinker, once cried out loudly: China especially lacks the spirit of making great efforts to govern without military songs, which is the key to restraining the national movement from rising instead of falling. He once filled in the school song "From Military Music".

Join military music

From military music, tell the people. In the world, countries coexist and compete for survival. No one can devote himself to protecting the country. My hero, don't give in, make a vow to be a soldier, make a vow to be a soldier.

From military music to former enemies. Guns are everywhere, smoke is surging and stars are everywhere. Our army is ambitious. Looking at the enemy camp, the color is white, and the flag is lowered side by side.

With the introduction of modern education into China, in addition to the sound of reading, there are magnificent songs in the new school.

March in the snow

My brother's towel is good for making flags, my brother's bamboo pole is good for riding horses, and my neighbor's brother comes with a gun to be a soldier in the mountains. There is heavy snow everywhere in the mountains, and there are no birds on the road. The north wind blows like scissors, and all the black clothes turn white. I'm not afraid of death, even if it's snowy. Dude, you're the commander. You can talk fast and slow.

Students of all ages in the school do gymnastics, play football, fight boxing, run and keep fit. Schools have become the most important stronghold to open people's wisdom and spread modern civilization, and the storm of overthrowing the Manchu government has also begun to brew.

It was the students who marched in the snow. I will win this battle for you in the future, so that everyone in China will have peace and everyone will enjoy peace.

19110 June10, Wuchang new army captured the governor's office of the two lakes, and then recovered three towns in Wuhan. Uprising has been launched everywhere. At the beginning of the following year, the provisional government of the Republic of China was established and the Revolution of 1911 was successful. March in the Snow has new lyrics to commemorate the victory of the revolution.

Revolutionary monument

10 10, the banner of righteousness was raised, and the revolutionary army set off from Wuchang. With the thunder of Jiang Hanping, the trees in Hanyang, Hankou were silent. The provinces are fighting in their own way, Qin, Jin, Yunnan and Guangdong are all anyway. The Jiangsu-Zhejiang Coalition forces leveled Jinling, and the south of the river was unknown.

After the success of the revolution, Wuxi Renhua filled in "* * * and the people" according to the tune of the earliest school music song "People go high first", which already included advanced words such as people, * * * * and stressing learning and opening up knowledge.

* * * and the people

The first degree in the country is high, regardless of age, tireless in knowledge, and early in knowledge. Morality is really important for encouraging moral integrity. Study hard in physical education class, with strong physical fitness and good brain power, reaching the same level, which is praised by people all over the world. My compatriots in the 20th century all have high national qualities.

The atmosphere in the school is different from that in the past. In the song, the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty has been changed to the five-color flag of the Republic of China.

Starting style

School starts today and I got up early in the morning. The students are quite comprehensive, and greeting each other is very polite. The national flag flutters in five colors, and the rising sun rises. The faster we make progress from here, the more knowledge we have.

The students in the new school sang "Sailing Song" to school, and sang "Evening Song" after school. This school song is adapted from a folk music "Old Liu Ban" which is circulated in many places in China.

Evening song

Time flies, and soon, the sun sets. Students, go home from school. Let's think it over. Did you understand today's lesson? Have you ever violated what Mr. Wang said? Our parents are expecting their children to come back, and we wander all the way. Go home and greet your elders. Don't waste your warm lessons. Everybody work hard! See you tomorrow, class.

From 1904 to 19 14, the number of schools in China increased from 4,222 to 32,438, and the number of students increased from about 260,000 before 1905 to 3 million in 19 12. Li Shutong was also invited to be a music and art teacher in Zhejiang No.1 Normal School. Under the auspices of Li Shutong, the atmosphere of art education in the school is very strong. In the studio of the First Normal University, mannequins were first used in art teaching.

Song of the motherland

Up and down for thousands of years, one vein extends, and civilization transcends shoulders. Tens of thousands of miles, fertile land, exclusive natural welfare. China is the oldest country in the world, and the people of China are Asians. Alas, big citizen! Alas, I am the only national! Fortunately, the world is precious, and the sound price is multiplied by ten. I will ride a lion across Kunlun Mountain and a crane across the Pacific Ocean. Who fights with me and wields a knife? Alas, big citizen! Who advocates celebrating peace with me?

spring outing

The spring breeze is thinner than yarn, and the clothes of spring people are lighter than paintings. Traveling in a pictorial world spring people walk, spring people fly under flowers. Pear flowers are pale and cabbage flowers are yellow, willow flowers are fragrant, people cry and go home, and the sunset is sent by the clock outside the flowers.

During his teaching in Zhejiang First Normal University, Li Shutong's music creation also entered the most brilliant stage. "Spring outing" is the first chorus song written by China, and his lyrics "Farewell" became the masterpiece of school music songs.

say goodbye to

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. The evening breeze blows the flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountain. The horizon, the horizon, intimate friends are half scattered. A ladle of muddy wine makes me happy. Say goodbye to Meng Han tonight.

Farewell is a cool song written by Li Shutong, and it is also one of the representative works of Li Shutong school songs. The composer was originally an American pop songwriter from John P. Odway. The name of this song is Dream of Home and Mother. Because this song is very beautiful, Japanese lyricist Tong Qiuxi wrote a lyric called "The Sorrow of Travel" according to its melody. Li Shutong was keen on music while studying in Japan, and he was deeply impressed by The Sorrow of Travel. Farewell was written by Li Shutong after he returned from studying in Japan. At this time, he has begun to contact Buddhism and has a deep study of Buddhism. Before becoming a monk, there was a man named Xu among the five friends of Tianya. One winter, heavy snow fell, and old Shanghai was desolate at that time. Xu Yuanhuan stood outside the door and shouted, "Uncle, brother, my family is bankrupt. I will come to see you again." Say that finish, crying goodbye, even the door of a friend didn't go forward. Li Shutong stood in the snow for a whole hour, looking at the distant backs of her former friends. Even the repeated cries of Miss Ye could not be heard. Later, just visible back to the house, closed the door, and Miss Yuzryha played the piano. He wrote tearfully: "By the ancient road outside the pavilion, the grass is beautiful ... when will you come here?" Don't hesitate to come. " The word "Farewell" describes the feelings of parting in the world, tells the beautiful fate in the world, but constructs the scenery of life. There is Zen in this poem, which is a vivid and touching picture, and the works are filled with immortal true feelings. Many of Master Hongyi's works embody the connotation and spirit of China culture. "When you hear it, everything disappears." The master's works are full of philosophy of life, quiet, elegant and enlightening. The mage's words are like a cup of fragrant tea, light and pure, and see the true taste in the light.

From the words Farewell, we can feel Li Shutong's attitude towards the society at that time and his thinking about life. Through the understanding of the joys and sorrows of life and the course of learning Buddhism, the author realized the truth that "everything is like a dream bubble", which made the listener and the author have a strong voice. Farewell was later used as the theme song and episode by China films Early February and Old Things in the South of the City. The song tells a feeling of parting and sings like complaining.

When Li Shutong wrote songs, it was the beginning of modern music in China, while modern songs in China began to develop from school songs. In the creation of school songs, Shen Xingong and Li Shutong are the most outstanding performers. It should be said that compared with the songwriters in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, many of Li Shutong's songs are far superior to his contemporaries in artistic value and communication. It is precisely because of his promotion of western composition that China's song creation entered a new stage, so it can be said that he played a pioneering and leading role in the history of China's song development. In this sense, he is a pioneering figure in our century-old music scene.

Li Shutong became a monk. By the time he became a monk, Li Shutong had composed more than 50 school songs.

Singing "Farewell", I realized the fate of Li Shutong, and the distant school song came back to life. Feng Zikai's wish in his words more than 70 years ago has now come true: "... I am amazed at the great relationship between music and children." Adults make music, but appreciating the beauty of music for a while is like singing a glass of wine while intoxicated. Children's singing, then immerse yourself wholeheartedly, and never lose your lifelong obedience. I think, how many beautiful and moving songs have been passed on to countless music teachers with rich literacy, and they have been taught to countless innocent boys and girls all over the world? If we can do this, the world of the next generation will be much more peaceful and happy than it is now. Because music can keep people childlike forever. The gods of peace and happiness only come to the world where there is innocence. In a childlike world, in a deceitful and evil society, the gods of peace and happiness will cease to exist. "
