Have a rest. I am the only brave person in China. I was born in He Ling. Take a rest. I am the only one who is a hero and lives on the bank of Minjiang River. The mountains in Fujian are gray, the water in Fujian is vast, talents are gathered, and universities are famous. I'm so cute. I'm Huaying. I'm so happy!

There is a famous saying in China's oldest history book, Shangshu Dance Classic: "Poetry expresses ambition, and songs always say." It means that "poetry" expresses people's thoughts in concise language, and "song" sings the language and words in poetry in cadence. This can be said to break the difference and connection between poetry and song. The school song of Huaying Middle School in Fuzhou has poetic lyrics and melodious music, which fully shows the unique spiritual outlook of Huaying School and makes all the teachers and students sing the school song many times with great pride.
At the beginning, China's oldest first collection of ancient poems was used. There has long been a sigh of praise for beauty in the Book of Songs, and "rest" means "beauty". "I am the only one who likes China and I am the only one who likes China" is the theme and keynote of the whole school song. Why do you want to praise Huaying loudly? The lyrics went on to list her uniqueness. She was founded by the patriot Zhang He, not by foreigners in China. Huaying was originally a missionary school led by the American Methodist Church. In addition to American principals, there are many American teachers, and many textbooks are in English. This school has a strong American color. In order to change this historical environment, the new school music song first emphasizes that Huaying is a China school founded by China people, which is of great significance. Huaying School is far from the bank of Minjiang River. The mountains and rivers in my hometown and the blood and sweat of the people in my hometown have nurtured a group of handsome teenagers on campus, and studied hard, making Huaying a prestigious institution. How commendable! In the song, "Fujian mountain is grey and Fujian water is boundless." From the point of view of Huaying's original school site, it mainly refers to Zangqian Mountain and Minjiang River; However, during the relocation of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Middle School to Yangkou, you can also refer to Guishan, Sheshan Jing and the famous rivers flowing down the mountain. During the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, people in Yangkou Town, Shunchang County took care of Huaying in many aspects, such as diet and daily life. Huaying's education was not confined to Fuzhou, but spread all over Huize Province and Fujian, which was especially remarkable in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period. At that time, many children from Shunchang County and Yangkou Town went to Huaying to study, including students from southern Fujian, eastern Fujian, western Fujian, northern Fujian and even Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Guangdong. Before graduation, Huaying high school students will go to all counties in the province to participate in the one-year "universal education" popularization activities, and what's more, they will spread the seeds of Huaying religion all over Fujian and Xinjiang. Huaying has trained a large number of outstanding talents for the people and the country, distributed in all corners of the country, even in other countries, so Huaying's good name ("your name" is a good name) has spread far and far. The outstanding feature of English-Chinese teaching is "learning from Chinese and foreign countries, learning from heaven and man", which summarizes the breadth and depth of English-Chinese education. We should extensively participate in encyclopedias at all times and in all countries, and deeply explore the relationship between man and everything. It is precisely because of this extensive and profound education that we can cultivate outstanding talents as the pillars of the country ("talents" means talents). The four words "sui", "bin", "ying" and "Ming" used at the end of the first sentence of the lyrics belong to green rhyme, true rhyme and Geng rhyme, but they are generally adjacent rhymes, which can be used universally and are harmonious to read and sing. The words "Xinjiang", "Fang", "Liang" and "Guang" at the end of each sentence in the second lyric belong to Yang Yun. The "Hua" and "Jia" at the end of the chorus lyrics belong to the rhyme department. It can be seen that all the lyrics are phonologically coordinated.
Three profound historical and literary allusions are used in the lyrics. First of all, "Success is my recklessness" comes from The Book of Songs Xiaoya Fukuda. Cheng means to enter the south, recklessness originally refers to the hair, an ancient adult man's hair hanging on his forehead, recklessness is a handsome man. "Be honest with me" is to dedicate outstanding talents to the country. 2. "It takes a hundred years to cultivate people, but it takes ten years to grow trees", which comes from Guanzi Quanxiu, a famous book that records the thoughts and achievements of Guan Zhong, the prime minister of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. He once said a profound metaphor that Guan Zhong attached importance to cultivating talents: "A year's plan is nothing more than a tree valley; The ten-year plan is nothing more than a tree; Lifelong plans are nothing more than tree people "; Because "a tree gets a valley"; A tree with ten winners is also a tree; A tree has a hundred winners. The allusion of "it takes a hundred years to cultivate people and ten years to plant trees" vividly and profoundly shows that it takes longer time, more arduous work and greater benefits to cultivate talents than to plant trees. Even if people don't live to the age of 100, their descendants will inherit their ancestors' career because they attach importance to education. Huaying takes this spirit of "educating people for a hundred years and planting trees for ten years" as the policy of running a school for a hundred years, cultivating talents and benefiting the country. Third, "Tianku is a blessed land" comes from the Tianku story written by Yi Shizhen in Yuan Dynasty, which contains many absurd things. It is said that there is a man named Zhang Minghua swimming in the fairy cave, where there is no heaven and earth. The palace in the cave is craggy, and the strange books in each room are all before the Han Dynasty. This place is called Paradise Library, which means fairyland. In the lyrics, Duan is called "the library in heaven is blessed and happy" ("happiness" is an auxiliary word in ancient poetry and fu, which is equivalent to "ah" in modern language), which means that it is blessed with excellent natural and social environment and is beautiful, so it can produce talents and make China shine.
Throughout the whole song, it can be said that the theme is to love my alma mater. There are four outstanding praises at the beginning, the middle and the end of I am a hero: the beginning begins with the auxiliary word "Wei" and becomes "I am a hero only". Singing with the loud praise of my alma mater as the beginning of the school song can be described as extraordinary momentum and the theme stands upright; The duet "I am Huaying" in the school emphasizes why the alma mater is "lovely" and "gratifying"; Singing "I am Huaying" at the end is full of happy pride, affirming that my alma mater is like a fairyland, and telling myself to cherish, work hard and not waste time. The rich meaning and lofty realm of school songs are manifested in the close connection between loving one's alma mater and one's hometown, loving the motherland and the world, and loving the people. At the same time, the love for one's alma mater is integrated with the love for learning, science, education and talents. The school song reveals that Huaying's school purpose is to train talents for the country, "benefit the country" and become "the light of the country". The whole song is permeated with the passion of patriotism and humanism, and it is a perfect combination of ideology and artistry.
Huaying school songs not only have profound lyrics and meaningful sentences, but also are so exciting and pleasant to recite. Moreover, the songs are high in tone and lively in rhythm, so touching and inspiring to sing! So where did this piece of music come from? Who is the composer? A few years ago, I heard a Huaying alumnus excitedly say to me, "Huaying school songs have a great influence! I recently went to Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and heard its bodybuilding melody from the stereo. " In fact, this is a famous song in American history and even today. 1864, during the American Civil War, a federal army composed of workers and farmers led by General Sherman marched into southern Georgia. In September, it occupied Atlanta, the state capital, and in June 165438+ 10, it turned to the Atlantic coast. The soldiers bravely destroyed the enemies along the way, and at the same time severely punished the farm slave owners and liberated the slaves. General Sherman telegraphed President Lincoln that they had successfully reached the coast. Hemry Clary Walker (1832- 1884), a compositor who took an active part in the war at that time, wrote this poem and song named "March into Georgia" with his own personal experience, which vividly reflected the reality of triumphant March. Walker did not write a manuscript, but directly printed it into a song, which was distributed in the army and quickly spread widely. It is popular in American schools to fill pop songs with new words as school songs, which also affects our country. Huaying adopted this song as the school song, probably at the initiative of American teachers at that time. Taking this revolutionary song written by American workers as the soundtrack of the English-Chinese school song also reflects the traditional friendship between the Chinese and American people.
