Military Anthem of the People's Liberation Army
The Military Anthem of the People's Liberation Army of China (simplified Chinese: 中国人民解放军军歌; traditional Chinese: 中國人民解放軍軍歌; pinyin: Zhōngguó Rénmín Jiěfàngjūn Jūngē), also known as the March of the Chinese People's Liberation Army of China (simplified Chinese: 中国人民解放军进行曲; traditional Chinese: 中國人民解放軍進行曲; pinyin: Zhōngguó Rénmín Jiěfàngjūn Jìnxíngqǔ), is a patriotic song of the People's Republic of China. The song was written by Zhang Yongnian and composed by Zheng Lücheng. The song was originally written as March of the Eighth Route Army (simplified Chinese: 八路军进行曲; traditional Chinese: 八路軍進行曲; pinyin: Bālùjūn Jìnxíngqǔ), and was one of the six songs in the Chorus of Eighth Route Army (simplified Chinese: 八路军大合唱; traditional Chinese: 八路軍大合唱; pinyin: Bālùjūn Dàhéchàng), all of which had Gong Mu as song writer and Zheng Lücheng as the composer. The song became known as the "March of the Liberation Army" (simplified Chinese: 解放军进行曲; traditional Chinese: 解放軍進行曲; pinyin: Jiěfàngjūn Jìnxíngqǔ) during the second Chinese Civil War. The lyrics were re-edited by the General Political Department in 1951 and the song renamed to March of the Chinese PLA in 1965. On July 25, 1988, the Central Military Commission decided to use the song as the official anthem of the People's Liberation Army. VariantA variant form of the song called Parade March of the PLA (simplified Chinese: 分列式进行曲; traditional Chinese: 分列式進行曲; pinyin: Fēnlièshì Jìnxíngqǔ) is used as the main theme of the marching of formative military parade, such as that in Chinese National Day Parade. From 1949 onwards, this has been the march past tune of the PLA in every military parade. See alsoExternal links
