Zhang, a people's artist, was infected by the military and civilians in full swing at that time, so he combined the tune of Xintianyou with the local folk song "Pushing Fried Noodles" to create this song.
The lyrics of "Military and Civilian Production" are impassioned and the tune is magnificent, which sings the people's surging enthusiasm for productive labor and their beautiful yearning for a happy life. As a work combining revolutionary spirit with local folk songs, Mass Production of the Army and the People has been widely circulated since its publication, and has become a spiritual booster for all the army and the people to fight against the sky, overcome difficulties and create a better life.
The background of the song "Military-civilian Production";
Born in the 1940s, Mass Production of the Army and the People (also known as Mass Production), formerly known as Ten Singing in Border Areas, is magnificent, cheerful and inspirational, and has become a classic red song sung from generation to generation all over the country.
Inspired by it, Zhang took the Huachi folk song "Pushing Fried Noodles" as the keynote and the vigorous mass production movement as the background, and incorporated new words into this folk song to create a sonorous labor song-the rammed song "Ten Singing in Border Areas".
The content of this song is easy to understand and soon spread widely in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region. After the founding of New China, this song was arranged in the fourth scene of the large-scale music and dance epic "Dongfanghong" and "Fire of Resistance Against Japan", and the paragraph was reduced to five paragraphs, and it was renamed as "Military and civilian mass production".
