Origin:

Japan's national anthem originated from modern western countries, and it was indispensable in diplomatic etiquette when Japan opened to the outside world at the end of the shogunate. 1876 (Meiji 9), Yu Yong Nakamura, the conductor of the naval band, called the director of the Naval Military Affairs Bureau. In addition to the revision of the soundtrack of Dai Jun, the report also contained the following contents: the ceremony (western countries) demanded courtesy, and countries played the national anthem to each other to show an independent country.

The national anthem of Japan is Dai Jun, and the lyrics were written in 1880 (Meiji 13) after the Meiji Restoration. Since then, Dai Jun has been handed down as the national anthem. 1999 (Heisei 1 1), the National Flag and Anthem Law officially designated "Dai Jun" as the national anthem of Japan, and the lyrics came from a short song included in the Collection of Ancient and Modern Songs compiled by120th century.

Note: The Collection of Ancient and Modern Harmony Songs was compiled by Ji Guanzhi, Ji Youze, Fan Hannei Gongheng, Ren and others in the early period of the Heian Dynasty in Japan (the beginning of the tenth century).
