Military anthem of China
The military anthem of China is a Chinese patriotic song that dates back to the formation of the New Armies of the late Qing Dynasty.Urban legend states that the music was taken from the Prussian March of the Emperor Wilhelm II; however, no piece by this name can be found in Armeemarschsammlung.The original Qing lyrics were commissioned by Zeng Guofan for the Xiang Army.[citation needed] The Communists reworded the song into the Land Revolution Is Successful.The latest lyrics are an extension of Zeng Guofan's version, and add additional rules to further inspire soldiers' discipline.
