The Song to the Auspicious Cloud (卿雲歌, Pinyin: Qīng yún gē, Literally Minister Cloud Song) was the title of two historical national anthems of the Republic of China (1912–49). The first version, composed by Joam Hautstone, a French musician in Beijing, was in use from 1913 to 1915 as a provisional anthem. The second version, composed by Xiao Youmei, was in use from 1921 to 1928 as an official national anthem. The lyrics of both songs were based on Commentary of Shang Shu (尚书大传) written by Fu Sheng in 200–100 BCE.
