This anthem was used in the Empire of China (1915–1916). After Yuan Shikai declared Emperor of China, his Ritual Regulations Office (禮制館) issued the new official anthem "China heroically stands in the Universe" (中國雄立宇宙間) on June 1915. Its lyrics were written by Yin Chang (廕昌) and music by Wang Lu (王露).

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

China heroically stands in Universe, Extends to the Eight Corners, The famous descendant from Kunlun Peak. The rivers turn greatly, the mountains continuous. Five nationalities open up the sky of Yao, For millions of myriads of years.
