The author marched with the anti-Japanese troops to the northwest bank of the Yellow River. China's magnificent mountains and rivers and heroic soldiers inspired the author's creation, and the call of the times prompted him to write a large-scale recitation poem Ode to the Yellow River with high patriotic enthusiasm, which was later rewritten into the lyrics of the Yellow River Chorus. The work consists of eight movements, showing the heroic spirit of the sons and daughters of the Yellow River with rich artistic images, magnificent historical scenes and majestic momentum.

This is a tenor lyric song written by Zhang in 1936.
193 1 08 September 18, the Japanese invaders launched a massive attack on the three northeastern provinces of China, and Chiang Kai-shek adopted a non-resistance policy, driving away the officers and men of the Northeast Army at the front line of "suppression * * *", carrying old belts and filling the streets of Xi 'an. They were forced to go into exile in Shanhaiguan, and they couldn't go home, but they had to work hard for the civil war against the people. They all suppressed their heartfelt bitterness and resentment and wanted to pour out their grievances and explode. It is against this background that Zhang Chuang wrote this touching solo, singing the voice of grief and indignation with tears in his eyes. He teaches students and the masses to sing their own songs. Then, he led the masses to sing on the walls and streets of Xi 'an. The tragic and heroic singing deeply touched the hearts of the officers and men of the Northeast Army, and tens of thousands of officers and men burst into tears after listening to it. Before and after the "Xi Incident" broke out, the song "On the Songhua River" was everywhere in Xi 'an, and quickly spread throughout the country.
This song consists of two parts and has an ending. The tone of confession runs through the whole song, which is both narrative and lyrical, and it is really touching. The melody is elongated by repeated singing, and the feelings are getting more and more excited, which has the effect of breaking the ileum. Finally, the song reached its climax when it sang a melody like heaven and earth. In the tearful grief, there is the power to ask for and fight.
< > after 9. 18, the Japanese army marched in and occupied Shenyang, which shocked China. The whole country called for stopping the civil war and pointing their guns at the outside.
29 army, the first Kuomintang army stationed in Yangquan, Liaoxian and Qinxian, also roared.
29 army was adapted from Feng Yuxiang's former Northwest Army. Although it is not the Chiang Group, it is poorly equipped, but it is disciplined, martial arts, and very effective.
At the head of the national disaster, the commander Song proposed that "guns are not included", educating officers and men with "shame to teach war" and calling on them to be ready to kill Japan at any time.
In view of the disparity in equipment strength between the enemy and ourselves, it was decided to set up a broadsword team at the meeting of senior generals. Shanxi is not short of iron, and it is no problem to have a knife. Then, Li Yaochen, a famous martial arts teacher in Hebei, was hired as a martial arts coach. According to the actual combat characteristics of the army, Li created a set of "infinite knife method" suitable for close combat, which can be split and stabbed, easy to learn and practical.
Tong, deputy commander of the army, personally inspected and demonstrated. Soon, the hand-to-hand combat skills of the whole army have been greatly improved.
1933, the Japanese invaders invaded Jehol, and the defender Tang Yulin lost Chengde and other places. 29 army was ordered to go north to defend the enemy. Just arrived at the designated position of the Great Wall, Tang Yulin lost xifengkou again, and the situation was critical!
29 army quickly attacked and launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. When the Japanese aggressors saw that they could not win, they bombed the combatants of both sides with planes and artillery.
29 army changed tactics, attacked the enemy camp at night with a broadsword, hacked and won a great victory, beheaded the Japanese artillery colonel and retaken xifengkou. 29 army began to show great power!
This is the first time that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses since 9. 18, and the Japanese ruling and opposition parties marveled that this was a great shame since the establishment of the Meiji army.
"July 7th Incident" in 37 years. 29 army fired the first shot of the eight-year anti-Japanese war at Lugouqiao. The broadsword team has repeatedly made outstanding achievements. Let's take an example: a company commander upstairs in the ancient city of Wanping was furious when he saw that all the defenders on the west bank of Lugou Bridge were killed in bloody hand-to-hand combat with the invading army. Without waiting for instructions from his superiors, he rushed to a platoon to avenge his brothers.
A row of soldiers who had been holding back for a long time put down their rifle bullets and jumped into the enemy group hand in hand with the thunder broadsword, killing the enemy with blood, swords and shadows. Among them, 19-year-old soldier Chen Yong hacked to death 13 devil, and captured a captive who was stunned and begged for mercy.
The news spread, and the whole country was excited. Hot-blooded young people asked to join the army to kill the enemy. Laura Mai, a famous composer who is carrying out anti-Japanese activities in Shanghai, was deeply inspired by 29 army's deeds and wrote the immortal battle song "March of Bright Sword" with the subtitle: Dedicated to 29 army Bright Sword Team.
The original words of "Sword March" are: "The sword is cut on the devil's head. Brothers of the 29th Army, the day of the Anti-Japanese War has come! War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's day has come! There are volunteers from the northeast in front and people from all over the country behind. Our first 29 army is not alone. Look at the enemy and destroy him! Destroy him! Let's go The broadsword is cut on the devil's head! Kill! "
In August, this song premiered in Shanghai Pudong Building, and Laura Mai personally conducted it. The scene was very lively and soon spread all over the country until today and in the future.

Xian Xinghai is a student and a comrade-in-arms. He wrote famous anti-Japanese songs such as "I'm afraid I won't resist" and "Sacrifice has reached the last moment". Especially "March of the Sword" is regarded as the clarion call for the people of China to rise up against Japan.
"Nanniwan" He Jingzhi Ci, Kelqu. 1943 was written in Yan 'an. Nanniwan is a typical production movement in Yan 'an. The 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army reclaimed land here, turning it from barren hills and barren hills into the southern part of northern Shaanxi where crops and cattle and sheep flock everywhere. 1943 Spring Festival, the Yangko Team of Yan 'an Luxun Art School came to Nanniwan and presented a new kind of Yangko to the heroes of the 359th Brigade < < choose a flower basket > >>, < < Nanniwan >> This was an episode. The song is melodious and lyrical, singing Nanniwan from desolation to "Jiangnan" and enthusiastically praising the Eighth Route Army soldiers who made contributions in reclamation. The whole song can be divided into two parts. The first part is gentle and euphemistic, the second part is cheerful and jumping, and finally the whole song ends with a five-degree swing. Songs absorb the tones and rhythms of folk songs and dances, and combine lyricism with dance.
