- Singing for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation

Pangu opened the sky and the sun rose in the east. Kunlun is majestic and the Yellow River is vast. Dahua is popular and all kinds of salty seals are available. The giant dragon soars into the sky and the colorful phoenix flies. Qian Dao becomes a man, Kun Dao becomes a woman. An eternal fire was lit in the cave on the top of the mountain, and loud singing came from Banpo Village. As long as there is love for mankind, there is China. What is China? It is said to be righteous and glorious! The sky is not tilted, Nuwa mends the sky to make it more beautiful; the earth is flooded, Dayu controls the water and the water flows eastward. Although the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were insignificant, Yao, Tian, ??and Shun could still be conquered. There is no right or wrong among the ancestors fighting for supremacy, and the descendants of all generations follow the Yanhuang tradition. Our ancestors were diligent and skilled in planting hundreds of grains, kneading wood to make lei (lei, an ancient agricultural tool that looks like a wooden fork), knotting ropes into nets, fishing on tenements, waiting for the wind and rain in the roofs and under the roofs; our ancestors were brave and martial, Fighting fierce beasts, subduing cattle and riding horses, overcoming thorns and thorns, trekking through mountains and rivers, and not losing sight of strong winds and thunderstorms. I especially praise the wisdom of our ancestors: they looked up at the astronomy, looked down at the geography, took in the bodies close by, took in the objects far away, created writing, and shocked the world and made the ghosts and gods weep! I think that China’s five thousand years of splendid civilization is due to the great contribution of the inheritance of magical words!
Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing. Dynasties change, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead; I hope nothing will change, and the dream of enriching the people and strengthening the country will be unified! During the Shang-Tang revolution, it is known that the people heard it and the heaven heard it; although the Zhou Dynasty was an old state, it felt that the reform could only be accomplished. The Duke of Zhou vomited food, made rituals and made music, and China's legal system has been preserved for thousands of years. The five hegemons and seven heroes each have their own ambitions, and the storm is turbulent, showing the true qualities of heroes. Sima Dafa Sun Wu seeks to stop wars with war. Since ancient times, attacking a city has not been the best strategy. The First Emperor proclaimed himself emperor and unified the whole world. The carriages tracked on the same track, the books and texts were written in the same language, and counties were established. The Great Wall still stands today. The Chu and Han Dynasties were at war, Gaozu had been in business for four hundred years, and the overlord's pride soared into the sky. In the reign of Wen and Jing, the warehouses were filled with money and decayed; while Emperor Wu was ambitious in his strategy, opening up territory and expanding territory. Although the Wei and Jin Dynasties were chaotic, they developed the south of the Yangtze River, the nationalities merged, and they realized life, and China also added new scenery; although the Sui and Zuo (zuo, the position of the monarch) was short-lived, they opened schools to recruit scholars, built righteous warehouses, famous bridges were left behind, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was clear. . Husband, I live in the Tang Dynasty, and I am even more proud: the sun and moon in Zhenguan are so beautiful, and the scenery in Tianbao is the most charming. Envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty once blocked the roads, and silk and bamboo from other countries could be heard everywhere. Alas! The genius of the generation, Genghis Khan, did more than just bend his bow and shoot the giant eagle: his cavalry once soared through the Chinese wind, and his athletes almost looked at the moon outside the country. How great is Zhu Di, how great is Zheng He: the treasure ship made seven voyages to the Western Ocean, and the huge waves could not stop it; it gathered dozens of friendly countries, and only spread benevolence everywhere. Kangxi and Qianlong were also prosperous, with a prosperous population, a prosperous life, and fifty ethnic groups celebrating together; the nine states were integrated, the territory was consolidated, and the treasure island of Taiwan was included in the territory.
Our Chinese culture is splendid, the sun and the moon shine together. Classical Chinese expresses all things, the nature of water is empty but becomes knotted; Hua Zhang contains the great road, the body of wood is solid but the calyx vibrates. "Three Tombs", "Five Canons", "Ba Suo" and "Nine Hills", there are canons in the prehistoric era; they are the only ones that are the best, and they are allowed to hold on to them, and the eternal Tao has been passed down with heart. Delete "Poems" and "Books", edit "Li" and "Music", praise "Book of Changes", compose "Spring and Autumn", create Confucianism, establish a pole for the people, God calls Confucius to collect it all; advocate benevolence, teach filial piety and brotherhood, abide by the principles of integrity, Guizhonghe, spread the six arts, the apricot altar is warm in spring, and Zhongni holds a candle to illuminate it for thousands of years. Lao Dan is also wise! See through the heaven and the earth, the Tao is natural, rule by doing nothing, be content and always happy, teach me how to live a trouble-free life; Mo Zhai is also great! Love all-in-one rather than attack, promote benefits and eliminate harm, rub the top and put aside the heels, help those in danger and relieve those in need, and sacrifice oneself to set an example for others. There are also famous schools, Legalists, Yin-Yang schools, and hundreds of schools of thought contending together. Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records", which includes chronicles, aristocratic families, and biographies. It covers the changes of ancient and modern times, and finally becomes the masterpiece of historians. Chinese dynasties have rewritten history, including "Hanshu", "Houhanshu", and "Three Kingdoms". History, the ancient and the modern are so erudite! Guan Guan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou, three hundred poems have begun to rhyme; "Li Sao", "Nine Songs", Qu Zi's chants, and later great poems all have their origins. Li Taibai is bold and romantic, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and rushes to the sea never to return; Du Zimei is majestic and strange, the spring scenery of Jinjiang comes to the sky and the earth, and the floating clouds of the jade barrier change the past and the present. Su Dongpo's poems are also wonderful. When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with wine; Li Qingzhao doesn't let his eyebrows go, chanting about the curtain blowing in the west wind, people are thinner than yellow flowers.
Articles about eternal events, Han Changli wrote "Yuan Dao" and "Shi Shuo", and his heroic writings rose from the decline of the Eight Dynasties; knowing the gains and losses, Fan Zhongyan wrote "Yueyang Tower", which later made the world happy. Fu Luo Guanzhong, Shi Naian, Wu Cheng'en, and Cao Xueqin, all have handwritings as high as the rafters reaching the sky; "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions" are all immortal masterpieces. The splendid culture of our country is truly indescribable. We still have calligraphy and painting, which are enough to gather the spirit of heaven and earth and express the emotions of the world!
The universe is only divided into yin and yang, and all things are classified into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Great wisdom can understand the way of heaven and earth. The Eight Diagrams can identify the past and the future, and the deduction depends entirely on the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Gao Miao is in harmony with ghosts and gods. The constellations are arranged in a row, and the stars are divided into twenty-eight fields. Everyone in the ancestors knows astronomy; observing the phenomena and telling time, there are twenty-four Qi in each festival, and the calendar is two thousand years ahead. Hetu and Luoshu, ninety-nine are unified, and with reference to their changes, Chinese arithmetic can lead to the underworld; all commercial merits are lost, the Pythagorean equation, Zushi's roundness, and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" can measure the sky. The four seasons are distinct, the weather is smooth, the family hopes for the prosperity of the livestock, and the grain is harvested during the National Day. Our country has always attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry; the capital Jiangyan was built, the district's field law was established, Jia's "Essentials for Elevating the People" and Guangqi's "Agricultural Administration Complete Book", sweat was exchanged for great achievements. There are years. There are treasures in the mountains, and great craftsmen have been produced from generation to generation. Gold, silver, copper, iron and tin are melted by the fire; Simuwu tripod is cast, finger-wrapped fine steel is refined, and the sword of the King of Wu, Jin Ge, and the King of Yue is handed down from generation to generation. Yao and Shun were good at pottery, and the origin of porcelain is from the same source. In the Tang Dynasty, there were three colors, in the Song Dynasty, there were green and red, and Jingdezhen porcelain became famous all over the world. It is as ice-like and jade-like, with a thousand peaks of green color. It is both for daily use and for appreciation, and it has actually replaced China's porcelain. Our people are good at construction. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, they built the Jiaoming Hall, with a blue dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right. It hides the wind and water and makes it pleasant for people to live in. It builds beautiful buildings, pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, intrigues, and a deep courtyard. Qihuang Chuan Shou Dao, Huangdi Nei Jing, Miscellaneous Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and Compendium of Materia Medica, use powdered medicine, needles, and Bianstone to remove demonic obstructions; the difference between yin and yang, deficiency and excess, looking, hearing, and asking, strengthening the body and dispelling evil, warming and tonifying, and clearing away diarrhea, Chinese medical skills can rejuvenate. What the Chinese people are most proud of are the four great inventions and the four great contributions to mankind! Sinan Yong guides people, knowing where the dust and sand are blowing; paper incense spreads to all countries, and the wind of civilization blows new flowers; although gunpowder is strong, it is not violent, but only creates colorful clouds towards the sky.
If the sky is healthy, a gentleman will strive to strengthen himself; if the terrain is weak, a gentleman will be virtuous. China has discovered the true way, and the word "中" is connected with all principles; China has found a great treasure, and the word "harmony" creates all opportunities. When people are in harmony with the sky, the sun, rain, dew and spring are always there; when people are in harmony with others, they are all brothers in the world; when people are in harmony with themselves, they are calm, calm and peaceful. Benevolent people love others, and only benevolence can be relied upon. Benevolence is a great feeling, so you can sacrifice your life to achieve benevolence; righteous people are suitable, only righteousness can be achieved, and righteousness can reach justice, so you can sacrifice your life for righteousness. There is righteousness in heaven and earth, and our clan has nurtured it to become awe-inspiring: wealth cannot be immoral, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be subdued. The three armies can seize the commander, but an ordinary man cannot seize the will. Su Wu shepherded sheep, going through countless hardships, and held the integrity for nineteen years; Tianxiang was loyal and righteous, and his sweet blood stained the yellow sand, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history. To cherish one's body and love one's family must be patriotic, and there is nothing higher than the country of one's parents. To care about the country's honor and disgrace is to benefit the country's life and death. To love one's country must be important and unifying. The most important thing is to unite far and near. In order to consolidate the Jin Ou, why not avoid it because of profit and loss? The crow can still feed back, and education has always emphasized filial piety and respect for relatives. It is difficult to repay three spring rays with an inch of grass. People are not born to know, only a teacher can solve the confusion. Cheng Men Li Xue, a teacher for a day will be a lifelong benefactor. There is nothing greater than sincerity in cultivating one's heart. Honesty can be shown in hundreds of good deeds. A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold can be made with no regrets. There are Chinese standards for being a human being. Observing people means observing their friends. Making friends means knowing each other. Guan Zhong, Uncle Bao, Zi Qi Boya, high mountains and flowing water praise friendship. There is great beauty in heaven and earth. China yearns for truth, goodness and beauty. Pines and cypresses represent bones, plum blossoms and orchids compare quality, and ice and jade imitate the world. The world is cool and cool. Couple is the beginning of human relations, and love is the pinnacle of love. They raise eyebrows together, and butterflies turn into butterflies and white snakes. The legend actually makes the mountains and rivers change color!
The sun and the moon have their brightness and darkness, and the national destiny has its ups and downs. There are nine states beyond the nine states, and there are ten thousand nations beyond one country. The sound of artillery in the Opium War awakened the dream of the heavenly kingdom; the blowing of the west wind and the European rain shook the towering Qin Palace and Han Que. The great oriental country is actually in a precarious position: it has been encroaching and devouring one after another; it is really worrying to carve up the beans and divide them at present. The storm is like a rock, the mountains and rivers are broken: 40 million people are crying, and there is China somewhere in the world. Alas! How can we, a great country with five thousand years of civilization, fail to recover after a fall? Although our giant body is weak and courageous, our noble descendants of Yan and Huang cannot afford to live under human beings for a long time. Flying dragons are waiting for their opportunity in the sky.
The Wenchuan Earthquake was a natural disaster and a national tragedy. The soldiers and the people were united in their will, and their great love supported each other. The disaster made people's hearts uniter, and the fire tempered the backbone. Thirty years of reform and opening up have witnessed brilliance. The biggest change in the past thirty years has been the spirit of the people, the prosperity and well-being of every household, and the smiling faces as bright as the morning sun. The peasants built the tripod, which was made with the wishes of all the people and engraved with the glory of the times. The great rejuvenation of the nation depends on the wise leadership of the Communist Party of China and the broad road with characteristics. Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought are both in line with each other and have been carried forward with the times. The light of truth always guides the way forward!
Everyone longs for prosperity and strength, and the Chinese nation has ushered in the dawn of rejuvenation; the five mountains are singing, the rivers are singing, and the Chinese nation has ushered in the dawn of rejuvenation. You can comfort the emperors and queens, you can comfort your ancestors, the descendants of Dragon and Phoenix will be proud of the world, and the blessed land of China will be admired by the world! The scientific concept of development is combined with the eternal path, and the blessings of heaven, earth, and people will last forever. Eastern wisdom will irrigate all things, and a harmonious world can also be expected! In today's world, looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, we are filled with emotions! One person sings it, and ten thousand people join it: fifty-six constellations and fifty-six flowers, fifty-six ethnic groups of brothers and sisters are one family, and fifty-six languages ??are combined into one sentence: Love me, China! Love me China!
