Abstract
Man Jiang Hong, a patriotic poem attributed to Yue Fei, has long served as a powerful symbol in Chinese cultural and national consciousness. Rooted in themes of loyalty, heroism, and resistance, the poem has transcended its literary origins to become a multidimensional artifact that influences music, media, education, and gender discourse. This article examines the evolving role of Man Jiang Hong within Chinese culture and explores how it has contributed to shaping national identity in both historical and contemporary contexts. Drawing on literary, sociological, and educational perspectives, the study highlights the poem’s adaptation in opera, film, phonograph recordings, digital platforms, and classroom instruction. It further considers how Man Jiang Hong resonates beyond China’s borders, particularly in diasporic and global discourses on cultural heritage and nationalism. Through its continued reinterpretation, Man Jiang Hong embodies a cultural bridge that connects traditional Chinese values with modern expressions of identity and pride in an increasingly interconnected world.
