"The East Is Red" ( Chinese: 东方红, pinyin: Dongfāng Hóng) is a song that was the de facto anthem of the People's Republic of China during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. During this period, Tien Han, the author of the official anthem " The March of the Volunteers," was imprisoned, and so that song was not used. It is also a musical promoting socialism and Communism, especially Maoism. The tune comes from the classical 'Yellow River Cantata', which itself was derived from traditional Northern Chinese folk music.
