To awaken the patriotic spirit of the Chinese people during the war, Huang Zi, "the first teacher of modern composition in China", composed the mixed-voice music "Anti-enemy Song". As the earliest choral piece with the theme of anti-Japanese national salvation, both in terms of its artistic value and the red music story behind it, it is worth exploring and researching. This article will start with the study of the composer and lyrics writer of "Anti-enemy Song", understand the background of the song's creation, analyze the work, try to explore the story behind the work, and interpret the red music culture of "Anti-enemy Song".
