The National Flag Anthem of the Republic of China((Chinese: 中華民國國旗歌; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Míngúo Gúoqígē;also unofficially known as the "National Banner Song") is played during the raising and lowering of the Flag of the Republic of China.This anthem is also played at international sporting events such as the Olympic Games; where the Republic of China (Taiwan) takes a part officially under the name of Chinese Taipei. This song is also considered as another National Anthem of the Republic of China.
Origin[change | change source]
After the Kuomintang Anthem became the National Anthem of the Republic of China in 1930, the Ministry of Education had collected ideas for a new official national anthem.The music composed by Huang Tzu was finally chosen in 1936, but the Nationalist Government refused to make it be the national anthem. As a compromise, the National Anthem remained unchanged, while Huang Tzu's music was chosen as the National Flag Anthem, with lyrics written in Classical Chinese by Tai Chi-tao, who had also given to the lyrics of the National Anthem.
Use[change | change source]
Since 1983, the song (officially with different lyrics) was used at Olympic competitions instead of the National Anthem because of the pressure from the Chinese Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee.This also changed the symbols used by Taiwan during the Olympics and another sporting and another events and their name officially changed to "Chinese Taipei."
