During the French Revolution, in Marseille, the southernmost city of France far from Strasbourg, a 5-member allied army was quickly organized to March to Paris. A medical college student named Miller recommended his "Battle Hymn of the Rhine Army" to the Marseille army. The passionate momentum of the song inspired people, and the Marseille allied army sang this revolutionary song all the way to Paris, and distributed printed songs along the way. When they With the flag and this song as the forerunner, thousands of people greeted this army in the street. They heard the Masai people singing an exciting war song over and over again, which they had never heard before. The lyrics sang the battle slogan they were going to shout at the moment. This song soon spread like wildfire and spread all over the streets of Paris. Because it was brought by the Masai people, people called it "La Marseillaise".
This song. Formerly known as "March of the Rhine Army", it was first played by De Lear in Strasbourg on April 24th, 1792, and soon spread all over the country. Three months later, the workers' revolutionary team in Marseille, the second largest city in France, sang this song and marched into Paris. This song must be played at the beginning and end of every meeting of the club in Marseille; Masai also sang this song on the March, hence the name "La Marseillaise".
Establishment of the name of the national anthem of La Marseillaise
"La Marseillaise" spread rapidly, and it was sung in groups at gatherings, theaters and banquets. Later, even after singing the hymn in the church, I sang this song; Later, it replaced the hymn. "La Marseillaise" became the song of the whole people and the song of * * *. The military minister of France * * and China saw that it was inspiring and inspiring, and ordered 1, copies to be printed and distributed to all companies in the army. At the front, the soldiers must sing "La Marseillaise" in unison when charging the enemy. Under the action of this military song, the team Enemy generals found that this song had a terrible power.
Later, Louis XVI's head fell to the ground, which angered members of the royal family all over Europe. The first anti-French alliance was formed by countries such as Belgium, Austria, Russia, Britain and Spain, and the National Assembly announced a general mobilization order, declaring that the whole country was in a state of emergency. A large number of French youths went to the front with the magnificent singing of the Marseillaise. In less than a year, the battlefield had moved outside the country. The first Republic of France formally established the lofty status of the national anthem of the Marseillaise.
Statues of the Marseillaise and the Arc de Triomphe
Napoleon, who came to power through the "foggy month coup", did not stop the horn of conquest. After being crowned emperor of the first French Empire in 184, Napoleon not only led the French army to successfully crush the second, third, fourth and fifth anti-French alliances, but also conquered them. Extending from the North Sea to the Adriatic Sea, the powerful notes of the Marseillaise resounded all over the world, shaking people's hearts.
In order to welcome Napoleon's victorious army, the great Arc de Triomphe broke ground in 186. However, with the sharp turn of the battlefield situation in Europe, the construction of the Arc de Triomphe was once stagnant and was not completed until 1836. In 184, Napoleon's body was transported back to Paris from St. Helena. Passed tragically under the Arc de Triomphe.
The relief of the post on the right side of the Arc de Triomphe was also named the Marseillaise. Among them, the goddess of freedom, which symbolizes freedom, justice and victory, held a sword in her right hand and held her left hand high, calling on the people to move forward in the direction she guided. Under her sacred and broad wings, a group of volunteer soldiers marched forward with great triumph or heavy load, and the magnificent horn of the Marseillaise sounded again. It reflects the rising sun and the afterglow of the sunset on the Champs Elysé es every day.
Francois Rude was 52 years old when he finished the sculpture task of the Arc de Triomphe. This sculptor, who is as famous as Delacroix, has both classical rigor and romantic passion, and carved a classic with the same name as music for that glorious and tragic history.
When reading the classic works of political science, At one time, I had doubts about the turbulent history of the French Great Revolution. Those people's democratic representatives who overthrew the monarchy exercised the rule of terror in the most undemocratic way, so that the Seine River became a river of blood, and Ebbell, who represented the left, Dandong, who represented the right, and robespierre, who was the most iron fist, were successively guillotined. How much of the revolutionary blood was sincerely spilled, and how much was cruel impulse and humble use?
But I still like listening to the Marseillaise, thinking back to the turbulent years when humanitarianism was shining, because it was the best encouragement for individuals in an era when everything was soft.
Before Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor in 184, he ordered that the singing of the Marseillaise was forbidden. In 1815, Louis Stanislas Xavier was restored and singing was banned again; The July Revolution broke out in 183. On the barricade where Paris fought, La Marseillaise re-sounded. In 1879, the French government re-approved the singing of La Marseillaise.
