Cup of Solid Gold
"Cup of Solid Gold", adopted by the Qing dynasty (1644–1912) on 4 October 1911, was the first official national anthem of China. The title wishes for the stability of the "golden cup," a ritual instrument that symbolized the empire. Six days after the anthem was adopted, the Wuchang Uprising took place and quickly led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
