Songs love me. There are 56 constellations in China's lyrics. Why do 56 flowers use constellations instead of nationalities?

The title of the song is Love My China, and "Nation" is obviously more in line with the title, while "Constellation" is imported from the west, not from chinese heritage. Now changing to 56 "constellation" is more likely to be cultural aggression.

"Fifty-six constellations, fifty-six flowers ... Brothers and sisters are family." The 56 constellations here refer to 56 ethnic groups in China.

Love My China is a song written for the 4th China Minority Games held in 199 1. When composing music, the tones of ethnic minorities in Guangxi and Yunnan are widely used. This song was originally a two-part style. The first tune is lively, rhythmic and narrow.

This well-known song was sung many times in CCTV Spring Festival Evening, and it was also included in junior high school students' music textbooks, and was included in the 3 1 song carried by Chang 'e-1. The lyrics of this song are profound and full of patriotic feelings, and are deeply loved by Chinese people all over the world.

Creation background

Love My China was created and spread in the early 1990s, and it was the theme song of a large-scale cultural performance at the opening ceremony of the 4th National Minority Games held in Guangxi. When composing, the composer takes into account that the National Games is a grand gathering of minority sports. Since it is held in Guangxi, it is best to have Guangxi style, but not all Guangxi styles.

Therefore, it is similar to Guangxi in timbre as far as possible, but it is not all Guangxi, and it is innovative in tune. For example, the melody of "Fifty-six constellations, Fifty-six Flowers ……" and the interlining "Cerro Cerro" behind it have obvious Yunnan style, and the development of the whole song is very atmospheric.
