"Pu Tian Yue" - National Anthem of China [1878-1896]

[@tony.530]

Correction: Pu Tian Yue, which means the universal tune in Chinese. Thank you for uploading this precious piece of recording!

[@SomeDudeArmyMen]

Actually, I think it would be "Pu Tian Le," since Western records translate the song as "The World's Delight," which is more or less the meaning of Pu Tian Le.

[@arturiaemiya8922]

​@@SomeDudeArmyMen I do believe it is a misinterpretation, le meaning "delightful" is correct, but it should be 樂/乐 yue(as in melody) edit: After a brief google, I found that this melody was originally suggested as "Guoyue"(traditional Chinese music using Chinese instruments), so 樂/乐 here is pronounced as yue, and it does not mean "delightful" but "melody"

[@stellarris4878]

Holy son of heaven, Rules over holy land (China), Voice dominates five continents, Grace over nine places (term from Avatamsaka Sutra, not sure how to translate it), Extend nation's fortune, Long live through the world, Peace and prosperous, Harvested well in autumn. From five emperors, From Xia, Shang, Zhou. Mountains and Seas, Nations in the world shares.

It is still great without lyrics honestly i would relax with this song and vibe

[@redcar9949]

It's actually pronounced Pu Tian Yue, Le and Yue are same character. Le means happy and joyful and Yue means music, song or tune, all 3 sometimes.

[@frederickoftheartic2209]

Quite sad this song's lyrics were definitely destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. I cannot imagine any sane person destroying their country's history.

It's such a shame, isn't it?

Lyrics: Traditional Chinese: 聖天子 奄有神州 聲威震五洲 德澤敷於九有 延國祚 天長地久 和祥臻富廬 百穀盡有秋 比五帝 邁夏商週 梯山航海 萬國獻厥共球 English: The Holy Son of Heaven, possesses the Divine Land, His influence resonates through the five continents, virtue and blessings spread across the Nine Provinces. Extending the prosperity of the nation and the throne, He endures as long as Heaven and earth. Harmony and abundance flourish, as grains all ripen in the autumn. Surpassing the Five Emperors, advancing through Xia, Shang and Zhou, Scaling mountains and navigating seas, all nations present their offerings under a shared firmament.

Qing China without Tuva pre-1841 was the best looking China in my opinion

It looked disgusting

[@perfectstudents8361]

Qing's China is larger than today's China. But today's China map looks better because it's shaped like a rooster.

[@usuarionaoidentificado9918]

This has such a sad vibe to it. It truly feels like a nation in it's final days. The end of an era that many thought eternal.

[@FraudulentBozo]

1:13 everyone in that picture is probably died

[@LordDim1]

All of them are definitely dead. At the latest that could have been taken in early 1912, in other words almost 108 years ago, and all of those men seem at least 20 years old. No man in human history has ever been documented to live 128 years

[@icrushchildrensdreams4556]

Lord Dim 1 I don’t think he meant that I think he meant that they all died during the war or got killed during fighting

[@FraudulentBozo]

@@icrushchildrensdreams4556 no no i did mean that

[@FraudulentBozo]

i just decided not to math

[@History_of_China]

They are all dead without a doubt. This picture was taken around 1880 by Lai Afong, the pioneer of Chinese photography. That was 140 years ago. It shows opium smokers most likely in Canton (Guangzhou).

This is the English translation: Son of Heaven dying in China The sound of the five continents Deze Fu Yu Jiuyou Yan Guozuo forever Harmony and Prosperity Autumn in all the valleys than five emperors Maixia Shang Zhou Ladder Nautical All nations share the ball

[@Ingenting]

That's my bad, I forgot that it was even part of China >.< also, thanks for translating the lyrics into traditional Chinese. Are you able to translate the Chinese lyrics into English too?

[@hanzimaster]

It’s in Classical Chinese so it’ll be rather hard. I’ll try but it might take a few days. Also, sorry for nitpicking but I see that southern Tibet is also missing, but it was part of the empire when this song was supposedly used.
