Shan Hu Song(Ode to Coral) is a household classic red folk song in China. As the core aria of the opera Red Coral , it was written by Zhao Zhong, Zhong Yibing and other lyricists, composed by Hu Shiping and Wang Xiren, and first performed by Zhao Yunqing. It officially debuted in 1961 along with the opera's public performance. Taking corals in the South China Sea as a metaphor, the song eulogizes the perseverance and patriotic feelings of female militia on the islands. With its melodious and stirring tune as well as simple yet profound lyrics, it has remained popular for decades, becoming a landmark work in the history of Chinese national vocal music and a collective memory of several generations.
Since its release in 1961, the song has quickly spread across the country and become a regular feature on radio, television and cultural performances. Over the years, numerous renowned singers such as Song Zuying, Peng Liyuan, Na Ying, Zhu Fengbo and Xu Ziyao have covered it. These adaptations include not only national vocal interpretations faithful to the original, but also cross-genre reworks in pop, bel canto and other styles. Additionally, there are instrumental versions (for bamboo flute, erhu, guzheng, etc.), choral arrangements and soundtracks for square dances. These diverse adaptations cater to different audiences and the aesthetic tastes of listeners in various eras, further expanding the influence of this classic.
