If you guys get to check the Chinese title of the original video, the name of this song is called “旅程-蔣渭水交響詩 ; 第二樂章：龍沉日出” which literally means “The Life Journey--Symphonic poem in memory of of Tsiúnn Uī-Suí (the Hokkien pronunciation of蔣渭水；otherwise it could be pronounced in Mandarin as Jiang Wei Shui) ; the second movement: the dragon disappeared(龍沉) and the sun rose up (日出) (This means that the dragon flag of the Qing empire got replaced by the national flag of Japan. Representing the beginning of the Japanese colonial era of Taiwan, which was also the young age of Tsiúnn Uī-Suí at the same time)”. As the title said, this Chinese symphonic song mainly describes the life story of Tsiúnn Uī-Suí.

The Qing anthem should be sung in the language of Mandarin and accompanied with the melody between 0:00~2:46 while the singing part of the woman is actually in Taiwanese Hokkien language and the melody is based on the traditional Taiwanese Hokkien opera which is called 歌仔戲.

And I do believe that many of you guys are not able to ensure it either.
Both China and Japan goes into isolation. Japan was forced to open up and it rapidly modernise. Sadly China resisted too long and by the time it woke up it was surrounded by wolves
The British offered the Chinese Emperor a trade deal. The Emperor declined, and sent a response back - in Latin, for that was the language of the Romans, the Europeans the Chinese had former trade deals with. In order to fully understand and appreciate the history of China, you mustn’t think in terms of decades or centuries, but millennia.
Yes, It was always great... Until Mao attacked taking advantage of the instability of the Nationalist that fighting the Japanese and other Cliques with Mao's forces collect strength

Qing China: Fuck that shit, Brit! That’s some addictive ass drugs I’m gonna ban! British Empire: Oh, you messed up now. Hong Kong’s mine forever and you can’t do fuck about it! Plus, Germany, France, Russia and Japan will soon stomp on your ass soon enough.
The story of Qing dynasty: He defeated Ming Dynasty He defeated Great Shun He conquered Tibet He conquered Xinjiang He was so big, and so proud then. One day, Britain gave him guns and machines, but he refused to use them. He hasn’t refused opium from Britain. He was sick, and he wanted to be healthy. Therefore he burned all the opium from Britain. Britain beat him for this. Britain and France beat him again. Japan beat him on the sea. Eight countries established an ally to beat him. He cried. His people were in poverty and starvation. They knelt for Europeans and gave all their money to the foreigners. He knew he would die soon. In 1911 he died.
鞏: consolidation/defend 金甌: Golden Grail which represents the imperial throne and the national territory. It was based on the formats of the national anthems of UK and Japan. They also took references from US, France, German Empire, Austrian Empire and Russian Empire. The main theme was peace. The melody was based on the royal music during Emperor Kangsi+Qianlong (1622-1799). lyrics: The English version was also made by Yan Fu himself (famous Chinese expert in Translation) 鞏金甌 承天幬 Firm and Stable be the "golden cup" (which means the empire) domed by the Celestial concave. 民物欣鳧藻 In it men and things happily prosper. 喜同袍 清時幸遭 Glad are we who live in the time of Purity. 真熙皞 帝國蒼穹保 May Heaven protect and secure us from enemies and help us to reach the truly golden age! 天高高 海滔滔 Oh!

@@רועיכהן-ל1י if you look at Chinese history though, they have always been ruled with an iron fist, every Imperial Dynasty from the Shang all the way up to the Qing are famous for having brutal totalitarian rulers, the Ming Dynasty which lasted from 1368 to 1644 even had its own secret police called the Jiniywei.....one could say that it's pretty much tradition for China to have tough and power hungry rulers and many even consider the CCP to be the new "imperial dynasty" of China especially given how the president's are treated, just look at how people worship Mao to this day and even Xi Jinping gets praised like he's gods gift to Earth, I mean the Chinese used to believe that their emperor's had the "mandate of the heavens" and that the emperors were divine being, very similar to the cults of personality surrounding Mao and other communist leaders.
@@cyborgchicken3502 What you're describing is literally every monarchy before the rise of republicanism, "brutal totalitarian rulers" were common in every country during the ages--Roman emperors, English kings, Ottoman sultans, they were all authoritarian and had absolute power. China had as many good emperors as it had bad. And the "personality cult" around emperors you're describing is literally just how monarchies work. Egyptians believed their pharaohs were literal gods, European rulers were given the divine right to rule.
Hold the Cup of Solid Gold Under the rule of Heaven, All life will cease to struggle, United in happiness. During the rule of the Qing, The empire is filled with light, Its borders broad and firm. Its skies reach high, And its seas brim fiercely.
It sounds fantastic. I was wondering how any western country would be able to arrange for this to be played...for a visiting dignitary at a state function, for example... Nothing has been gained trying to adapt this for a western orchestra; all has been lost in the effort.
Hearts of Iron IV with Kaiserreich soundtrack. This song came on as a combined Republican-Communist-Warlord-Imperial force drove the Japanese into the sea. Beautiful.

@@MCShvabo The current Chinese anthem is not a communist hymm. Its actually about struggling against the Japanese. I believe the song was made between the first and the second sino-japanese war.
While western instrumentals are nice sometimes its way better to preserve tradition and make an anthem with traditional instruments Bangladesh, Israel are great examples of anthems which use traditional instruments
Fun fact, the lyrics has NOTHING TO DO with the Qing dynasty. It's about Chiang Wei Shui, a famous Taiwanese cultural and activist leader in Japanese colonial era. This is only the First Part of the symphony. In the first sentence, she is saying the city he was born in Yilan, (3:00) 宜蘭城邊小街市 In the Second sentence she is describing that city, ("The wind is clear and the moon is bright"), (3:40) 風清月明好安居 In the Third sentence, she said that Chiang Wei Shui was born. (BTW he was born in 1891). (4:08) 渭水先生初出世 In Fourth sentence she says "At sunrise, thw dragon is sinking. The flag is changing" meaning that Qing was ceded Taiwan to Japan (that happened in 1895) . That's why you can hear a fragment of the Japanese national anthem in end of the overture. (4:40) 日出龍沉換國旗
@@SargentoBonzo As you said it was anexed :) Then all anexed territories except the Japanese mainland (Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and some 6,000 small surrounding islands) was renounced by Japan in the Unconditional Surrender after World War II and the Treaty of San Francisco
@@zhiqianwen Exactly, that what happened. So, why you told me that; "Are you aware that Taiwan was a province of Qing?" I mean, I was aware of that, but keep in mind that Chiang Wei Shui lived during Japanese colonial era.
@@SargentoBonzo Chiang was born in 1890, before Japan took Taiwan. Japanization started several years after Chiang's death. he was never a Japanese national. Chiang would be pissed if you call him Japanese.
This isn't actually the anthem, it's a modern composition performed in Taiwan which comprised lots of traditional Chinese music. The anthem is the first one and goes up to 1:19.
That is a great movie, a spectacular task, director and intelligent composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto who absolutely adds the extra effects needed to perfect the movie. Sadly, even if he surrounded to the United States in Japan instead of getting captured by the Soviet Chinese - Russian Armies, chances are he still would've been sent back to Communist China or or KMT China, both being bad options, one possibly being worse than the actual option that played out in real life.
Right. To think that this was at one point played for the last Emperor of China, one of the richest men in the world, and now anyone can listen to it is also very interesting.
@@XfromDarkHorse I don't think the orchestra recording in that video is the same though. They sound very similar but if you pay attention to when the woman sings and what follows the singing you'll see it's different
@@AcaiTiger It's exactly the same. I played two tracks at the same time and they perfectly matched. (I also checked the lyrics because it's in Taiwanese Hokkien and I am Taiwanese :P)
It's the first time I hear it. It reminds of traditional folk music(usually play in festival ceremonies) in southern China. Thanks for sharing:) Didn't notice that we had a national anthem in Qing.
This isn't from The Last Emperor. Not only does it not match the style of music, but the movie came out in 1987. This version would've surfaced long ago.
This version is from Taiwan, because I heard the lady singing Taiwanese Opera ,with the dialect called "Taiwanese Hokkien", interestingly this dialect is more similar to classic Chinese than modern Mandarin, just like Japanese onyomi and Korean Hanja reading . the uploader mistaken the opera piece as anthem, the actual anthem end in about 1:19
This is super cool and Chinese. It breaths China! It is hard to "imagine" China without an Emperor and Confucianism. Even though China is ruled by the Communists, I send my love to all the Chinese. I always loved your culture and country. God bless you!
Imagine being a composer, doing your best to create anthem for your country, only for your work to fall in disuse after just one year because the government was overthrown and the new system was installed.

My great grandpa emigrated from China during the end era of the Qing Dynasty in the early of 20th century, to West Borneo of Dutch Indies (now Indonesia).

The dragon was the symbol of every emperors, not only Qing’s emperors (who have choosen to rule in the chinese way). It would be strange that the communists chose to keep the emperors’ symbol as they pretended to stand with the smallfolks, and not the monarchists. But in general, the communists have destroyed several aspects of chinese cultures and traditions. And yes I would love to see a dragon again on the chinese flag, as we got a new emperor who is likely to rule until his death #xijinping
red dragon represent the subject (the People) of the emperor and the Yellow Dragon represent the Son of Heaven, the Emperor (Dragon), the Empress (Phoenix) and his imperial families.
Chinese dynasties used music for various ceremonies, but never had official anthems representing the country. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, Qing China was constantly in contact with foreign countries and started to require a national anthem "for diplomatic convenience." Qing diplomats were the first to suggest adopting an official anthem. Zeng Jize (1839-1890) - eldest son of statesman Zeng Guofan - was the Qing envoy to France, Britain, and Russia for several years starting in 1878. Around 1880, he composed a song called Pu Tian Yue to be played as China's anthem in various state ceremonies and suggested the Qing adopt it as its official anthem, but the court did not approve. That song's lyrics and melody have both been lost for a very long time. However, an instrumental version of the anthem has been found and a part of what is seemingly the lyrics. When Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) visited Western Europe and Russia in 1896 as a special envoy charged with learning about foreign institutions after the disastrous end of the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, he was again asked to provide China's national anthem for performance at state receptions. He hastily adapted some court music to a slightly modified juju poem by Tang-dynasty (618-907) poet Wang Jian and presented that song as the Qing anthem. That song later became known as the Tune of Li Zhongtang but was never officially recognized as a national anthem. Another non-official anthem was written for the new Qing ground forces that were established in 1906. Entitled Praise the Dragon Flag, it was played on ceremonial occasions, but like the songs promoted by Zeng Jize and Li Hongzhang, was never officially adopted as the Qing national anthem. A Chinese version of the Japanese national anthem Kimigayo (adopted by the Meiji regime in 1888) was played in the new-style schools that taught modern topics like science and engineering. The Chinese lyrics - "To unify old territories, our ancient Asian country of four thousand years sighs in sorrow for the Jews, India, and Poland. Reading the history of those who have lost their countries, we shiver in our hearts!" - emphasized the Social Darwinist themes of ethnic crisis and loss of national territory, but many considered these too far from the usual themes of ceremonial music to be acceptable.
This slaps, the country they made this for totally should adopt it, I bet after that it’s gonna stand for a long time with this anthem. I bet nothing bad would happen once this is adopted
Right? Makes you hope that the Chinese Empire will be restored. It should be. All we need to do is amend the laws and add a constitution, and the Western countries will surely cry.
@@Kujir2340The Manchus discriminated againest the Chinese and killed anyone who didn’t follow the Manchu hair style, and they blocked technological advancements just so they could hold on to power againest the majority Chinese population, and the Manchus didn’t allow Chinese to settle in Manchuria, so the Manchus didn’t get assimilated early on, they just got influenced.
@Matthew No, the queue is the symbol of your Qing imperial citizenship. It represents honor and identity. Qing is Ok to build arsenals and buy warships but they would never cut the queue.
The Republic of China didn’t split up the Qing dynasty though after when the Republic of China overthrow the dynasty tibet declared independence and so did Mongolia
I like how this anthem played out in each segment. The early part is about the rise of Qing Dynasty and how they successfully conquered back XinJiang and Tibet from the lost of Ming Dynasty. The middle part is about the start of colonialism from the West, particular the British Empire and France, they brought many problems to the Dynasty such as the Opium War and then created many inner conflicts such Boxer Rebellion and Taiping Rebellion. This eventually weakened the Dynasty. Finally the last 2 minutes of anthem foreshadowing and the inevitable, Dr Sun Yat Sen was frustrated how the Dynasty had became and seeing China became rotten almost to the core due to the incompetent and stubbornness of the Qing Dynasty, he decided to end the entirety of Chinese Dynasty circle.
@@arandomyoutubeaccount3166 the orgininal quote "Those who do not miss the Soviet Union have no heart. Those who want it back have no brain," was from Vladimir Putin. This is the Chinese version of the quote
Ou (甌) was a kind of wine vessel. Jin'ou (金甌／金瓯), or golden wine vessel, symbolized an "indestructible country". The Qing emperor used such a vessel for ritual purposes. Inlaid with pearls and gems, it was known as the "Cup of Eternal Solid Gold" (Jin'ou Yonggu Bei 金甌永固杯). Because gong 鞏 means "to consolidate" or "to strengthen," the entire title may be translated as "strengthening our hold on the golden cup. Yan Fu, who wrote the lyrics, glossed the title and the first line of the anthem as "Firm and stable be the 'golden cup' (which means the empire)."
After Qing Dynasty has ended... Sun Yat-sen: "Finally, the revolution proved to be successful." A few moments later... Yuan Shikai: "Oops, looks like I'm in charge right now. Buenas Noches, Sun." Sun Yat-sen: "bruh."

If you did QUTOE any other creator’s original content, it would be the most primary for you to mention the original RESOURCE. Not to mention that such MISUNDERSTANDING between the Qing anthem and the Taiwanese orchestra--causing that almost the whole world of UA-cam considers THIS is the REAL CONTENT of the national anthem of Qing empire: ) Plus, I can't even make sure that whether the owner of this channel @Norwegian Baron had the official affirmation given from the original owner of this soundtrack before he uploaded this video.

The British offered the Chinese Emperor a trade deal. The Emperor declined, and sent a response back - in Latin, for that was the language of the Romans, the Europeans the Chinese had former trade deals with. In order to fully understand and appreciate the history of China, you mustn’t think in terms of decades or centuries, but millennia.
truly, china has stayed so dormant yet was so turbulent for so such time
Can I get a source for the response in Latin? I can't seem to find anything about it, but it sounds quite interesting indeed.

He defeated Ming Dynasty
He defeated Great Shun
He conquered Tibet
He conquered Xinjiang
He was so big, and so proud then.
One day, Britain gave him guns and machines, but he refused to use them.
He hasn’t refused opium from Britain.
He was sick, and he wanted to be healthy. Therefore he burned all the opium from Britain.
Britain beat him for this.
Britain and France beat him again.
Japan beat him on the sea.
Eight countries established an ally to beat him.
He cried.
His people were in poverty and starvation. They knelt for Europeans and gave all their money to the foreigners.
He knew he would die soon.
In 1911 he died.

Fun fact, the lyrics has NOTHING TO DO with the Qing dynasty. It's about Chiang Wei Shui, a famous Taiwanese cultural and activist leader in Japanese colonial era. This is only the First Part of the symphony.
In the first sentence, she is saying the city he was born in Yilan,
(3:00) 宜蘭城邊小街市
In the Second sentence she is describing that city, ("The wind is clear and the moon is bright"),
(3:40) 風清月明好安居
In the Third sentence, she said that Chiang Wei Shui was born. (BTW he was born in 1891).
(4:08) 渭水先生初出世
In Fourth sentence she says "At sunrise, thw dragon is sinking. The flag is changing" meaning that Qing was ceded Taiwan to Japan (that happened in 1895) . That's why you can hear a fragment of the Japanese national anthem in end of the overture.

Emperor Pu Yui was the last to rule. I suggest watching the movie The Last Emperor. It’s a great film but also depressing.
Yuan Shikai also tried to rule as Emperor.
great suggestion, he had a sad but extraordinary life considering the circumstances he was born into compared to when he died.
That is a great movie, a spectacular task, director and intelligent composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto who absolutely adds the extra effects needed to perfect the movie. Sadly, even if he surrounded to the United States in Japan instead of getting captured by the Soviet Chinese - Russian Armies, chances are he still would've been sent back to Communist China or or KMT China, both being bad options, one possibly being worse than the actual option that played out in real life.

Chinese dynasties used music for various ceremonies, but never had official anthems representing the country. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, Qing China was constantly in contact with foreign countries and started to require a national anthem "for diplomatic convenience."
Qing diplomats were the first to suggest adopting an official anthem. Zeng Jize (1839-1890) - eldest son of statesman Zeng Guofan - was the Qing envoy to France, Britain, and Russia for several years starting in 1878. Around 1880, he composed a song called Pu Tian Yue to be played as China's anthem in various state ceremonies and suggested the Qing adopt it as its official anthem, but the court did not approve. That song's lyrics and melody have both been lost for a very long time. However, an instrumental version of the anthem has been found and a part of what is seemingly the lyrics.
When Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) visited Western Europe and Russia in 1896 as a special envoy charged with learning about foreign institutions after the disastrous end of the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, he was again asked to provide China's national anthem for performance at state receptions. He hastily adapted some court music to a slightly modified juju poem by Tang-dynasty (618-907) poet Wang Jian and presented that song as the Qing anthem. That song later became known as the Tune of Li Zhongtang but was never officially recognized as a national anthem.
Another non-official anthem was written for the new Qing ground forces that were established in 1906. Entitled Praise the Dragon Flag, it was played on ceremonial occasions, but like the songs promoted by Zeng Jize and Li Hongzhang, was never officially adopted as the Qing national anthem.
A Chinese version of the Japanese national anthem Kimigayo (adopted by the Meiji regime in 1888) was played in the new-style schools that taught modern topics like science and engineering. The Chinese lyrics - "To unify old territories, our ancient Asian country of four thousand years sighs in sorrow for the Jews, India, and Poland. Reading the history of those who have lost their countries, we shiver in our hearts!" - emphasized the Social Darwinist themes of ethnic crisis and loss of national territory, but many considered these too far from the usual themes of ceremonial music to be acceptable.

第一段听出了大好河山和安乐生活。第二段听出了战斗意志。到了人声听出了1840年后的委屈。最后是委屈过后的复兴。作曲水平很厉害
事實上，原曲是《旅程-蔣渭水交響詩》的第一樂章〈龍沉日出〉。
前6分鐘是大清國歌《鞏金甌》轉歌仔調，中版七字調，舒緩地演奏。
這一段是說蔣渭水先生在大清出生，後來龍沉日出
(日本從大清手中接手台灣)，因此從大清國歌轉為日本國歌(然而影片中只擷取前6分鐘清朝國歌的部分，因此後面4分鐘沒有出現)
另外，替您介紹中間由石惠君女士演唱的歌詞(非普通話)：
3:04 ~ 3:36 ： 「宜蘭- 城邊------ 小街市」
3:41 ~ 4:02 ： 「風清- 月明-- 好安- 居---」
4:08 ~ 4:29 ： 「渭水先生-- 初出世--- (1891年蔣渭水先生出生)」
4:41 ~ 5:01 ： 「日出- 龍沉---- 換-國--旗--- (1895年日本從大清接手台灣)」
影片6分鐘還勉強算是「鞏金甌」占大部分，不過歌詞中的「宜蘭」、「渭水先生」、「日出龍沉」要作為大清整體，似乎不太合理。
m.ua-cam.com/video/uJdboB2-UBE/v-deo.html

I'm not going to lie I cried to this. I've never heard a more beautiful song.
Right? Makes you hope that the Chinese Empire will be restored. It should be. All we need to do is amend the laws and add a constitution, and the Western countries will surely cry.
@@Kujir2340The Qing isn’t a Chinese Empire, it’s a Manchurian One
@@grimtheiceking5717 The ruling dynasty assimilated pretty quickly to Chinese culture
@@Kujir2340The Manchus discriminated againest the Chinese and killed anyone who didn’t follow the Manchu hair style, and they blocked technological advancements just so they could hold on to power againest the majority Chinese population, and the Manchus didn’t allow Chinese to settle in Manchuria, so the Manchus didn’t get assimilated early on, they just got influenced.
Imagine this played as their national anthem during football match, and the players hairstyle are queue
Something tells me the queue is probably not made for sports at all. Especially if someone is a little... angry
Shaolin soccer players with this anthem in world cup would be amazing!
If the Qing still existed they would probably abolish this weird hairstyle to keep the people from revolting
@Matthew No, the queue is the symbol of your Qing imperial citizenship. It represents honor and identity. Qing is Ok to build arsenals and buy warships but they would never cut the queue.
This anthem composed in 1911, too bad in 1912 Qing dynasty is dissolved.
@Alex Lee China now is just a current Soviet China! Look at this anthem! 100% pure Chinas!
@Alex Lee hell no the republic of china took the rest of china and split up i think
@Alex Lee moa also killed millions doing so
@@coetrupe Actually the Republic of China overthrew the Qing dynasty
The Republic of China didn’t split up the Qing dynasty though after when the Republic of China overthrow the dynasty tibet declared independence and so did Mongolia

I like how this anthem played out in each segment. The early part is about the rise of Qing Dynasty and how they successfully conquered back XinJiang and Tibet from the lost of Ming Dynasty. The middle part is about the start of colonialism from the West, particular the British Empire and France, they brought many problems to the Dynasty such as the Opium War and then created many inner conflicts such Boxer Rebellion and Taiping Rebellion. This eventually weakened the Dynasty. Finally the last 2 minutes of anthem foreshadowing and the inevitable, Dr Sun Yat Sen was frustrated how the Dynasty had became and seeing China became rotten almost to the core due to the incompetent and stubbornness of the Qing Dynasty, he decided to end the entirety of Chinese Dynasty circle.

The quotation marks suggest that this is a quote. Who from, if so?
@@arandomyoutubeaccount3166 the orgininal quote "Those who do not miss the Soviet Union have no heart. Those who want it back have no brain," was from Vladimir Putin. This is the Chinese version of the quote

I could hardly call myself a fan of the Qing, but this is an amazing anthem!
This is by far the best anthem I've ever heard -- a truly magnificent composition and a brilliant performance! Thanks for sharing.
Imperial China is absolutely magnificent.
The Drums were Epic as Hell!
Ou (甌) was a kind of wine vessel. Jin'ou (金甌／金瓯), or golden wine vessel, symbolized an "indestructible country". The Qing emperor used such a vessel for ritual purposes. Inlaid with pearls and gems, it was known as the "Cup of Eternal Solid Gold" (Jin'ou Yonggu Bei 金甌永固杯). Because gong 鞏 means "to consolidate" or "to strengthen," the entire title may be translated as "strengthening our hold on the golden cup.
Yan Fu, who wrote the lyrics, glossed the title and the first line of the anthem as "Firm and stable be the 'golden cup' (which means the empire)."
I am Japanese. Traditional Japanese culture was influenced strongly by China. When I listen to this music, I feel relax and as if I am in hometown.

I've got to say that not that much people pay attention to Chinese History, it's so underrated.
After Qing Dynasty has ended...
Sun Yat-sen: "Finally, the revolution proved to be successful."
A few moments later...
Yuan Shikai: "Oops, looks like I'm in charge right now. Buenas Noches, Sun."
Sun Yat-sen: "bruh."
