3. How can a national song or anthem create feelings of patriotism?
Very often we hear the national anthem before an important sports event, when it is important
to win, or after the competition, when our country has triumphed (=won = come first). So when
we see a Chinese athlete with the gold medal and we hear our national anthem at the same time, it
definitely makes us proud of being Chinese. It makes us more patriotic. In addition, the lyrics of
the national anthem are always very meaningful and stirring (= motivating). In the Chinese
national anthem, the lyrics invite everyone to fight for China, and to rise against the nation's
enemies. Music can definitely be used to bring people together.
