The anthem of the Beiyang Fleet (simplified Chinese: 北洋海军军歌; traditional Chinese: 北洋海軍軍歌 Hanyu Pinyin: Běiyáng hǎijūn jūngē) is the official anthem of Beiyang Fleet, Qing Dynasty, and was presumed lost after the defeat of the Beiyang Fleet in the First Sino-Japanese war. The piece was re-discovered by Yue Chen (Chinese: 陈悦) in the archives of the Royal Navy in the United Kingdom in 2012. A modern adaptation was arranged by Xue Ye (Chinese: 雪野) for the People's Liberation Army Navy.[1] The documentary Rise and Fall of Beiyang Fleet presented by CCTV uses this anthem as its theme music.[2]
The anthem shares the same tune with Tune of Li Zhongtang.
