Beijing's Golden Mountain in Chinese

"On the Golden Mountain of Beijing" was originally sung in Chinese by Li Guyi.

"On the Golden Mountain of Beijing" is a Tibetan folk song, and its original song is said to be an ancient drinking song, usually used for religious ceremonies. With new lyrics, "On the Golden Mountain of Beijing" has been sung in every corner of the Chinese land, and it is amazing that a short and bright song has such a strong and long-lasting vitality.

The arranger and composer of this work, Ma Jonas, went to Tibet in 1960 and listened to a song called "Shannan Ancient Wine Song" that the soloist Chang Liuzhu had learned from an old artist named Zhaxi, and became interested in it, so Ma Jonas adapted the song, adding two lines of prelude music in front of the original folk song, and then modifying the lyrics.
