The national anthem of the Republic of China () conveys how the vision and hopes of a new nation and its people can and should be achieved and maintained using the Three Principles of the People. Originally the party anthem of the ruling Kuomintang, it was officially adopted as the national anthem in 1943 during the Second World War. Informally, the song is sometimes known as "''San Min Chu-i''" or "''Three Principles of the People''" from its opening line, but this is never used in formal or official occasions. == History == The text of was the collaboration between several Kuomintang (KMT) party members, * Hu Han-min (胡漢民 Hú Hànmín), * Tai Chi-t'ao (戴季陶; Dài Jìtáo), * Liao Chung-k'ai (廖仲愷 Liáo Zhòngkǎi) * Shao Yüan-ch'ung (邵元沖 Shào Yuánchōng). The text debuted on July 16, 1924 as the opening of a speech by Sun Yat-sen at the opening ceremony of the Whampoa Military Academy. After the success of the Northern Expedition, the Kuomintang party chose the text to be its party anthem and publicly solicited for accompanying music. Ch'eng Mao-yün (程懋筠; Chéng Màoyún) won in a contest of 139 participants. On March 24, 1930, numerous Kuomintang party members proposed to use the speech by Sun as the lyrics to the national anthem. The national anthem of the republic was the ''Song to the Auspicious Cloud''. Due to opposition over using a symbol of a political party to represent the entire nation, the National Anthem Editing and Research Committee (國歌編製研究委員會) was set up, which endorsed the KMT party song. On June 3, 1937, the Central Standing Committee (中央常務委員會) approved the proposal, and in 1943, the song officially became the national anthem of the Republic of China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Anthem of the Republic of China」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
