What's the name of China's funeral March?

The traditional funeral song in China is called "Sorrow".

Sorrow was adapted from a northern folk percussion tune by Luo Lang, the first head of the China People's Liberation Army Military Orchestra.

Seeing that the remains of the dead martyrs are still fighting, he feels that mourning is not only mourning, but also expressing the feelings of remembering and remembering the heroic achievements. So, on the basis of E flat minor, he temporarily changed the key in the strongest tone of the whole song, making the tune passionate and firm after sobbing.

Pathetique was performed for the first time at 1945 Zhangjiakou city memorial ceremony for the fallen martyrs. 1949 The groundbreaking ceremony for the Monument to the People's Heroes was held in Tiananmen Square, which is a national funeral music officially approved by the central government. 1953, when Stalin died, funeral music was first broadcast on China People's Broadcasting Station.

Once, Chopin came to the studio of the French painter Zim (1821-1911) to relieve boredom. At that time, Chopin was troubled by the evil spirits in French legend, and he often had nightmares at night, dreaming that the monsters would take him to hell. This dream reminds Zim of the image of a skeleton dressed as a piano player in the studio.

He told Chopin about it, but it inspired the musician. In the evening, Chopin sat beside the skeleton, pale and glassy-eyed, wrapped in sheets. Suddenly, the silent air in the studio was broken by the broad, slow, serious and deep music. It turned out that he was writing funeral marches on the piano. This funeral March later became the third chapter of the second piano sonata in B flat minor.
