The song was originally adopted in 1930 by the ROC as its national anthem and was used as such in mainland China until 1949, when the central government of the Republic of China relocated to Taiwan, following its defeat by the Chinese Communist Party in the Chinese Civil War.
Informally, the song is sometimes known as San Min Chu-i from its opening line which references the Three Principles of the People (Sanmin Zhuyi).

Traditional Chinese (with Bopomofo)
三ㄙㄢ民ㄇㄧㄣˊ主ㄓㄨˇ義ㄧˋ,吾ㄨˊ黨ㄉㄤˇ所ㄙㄨㄛˇ宗ㄗㄨㄥ;
以ㄧˇ建ㄐㄧㄢˋ民ㄇㄧㄣˊ國ㄍㄨㄛˊ,以ㄧˇ進ㄐㄧㄣˋ大ㄉㄚˋ同ㄊㄨㄥˊ。
咨ㄗ爾ㄦˇ多ㄉㄨㄛ士ㄕˋ,為ㄨㄟˋ民ㄇㄧㄣˊ前ㄑㄧㄢˊ鋒ㄈㄥ;
夙ㄙㄨˋ夜ㄧㄝˋ匪ㄈㄟˇ懈ㄒㄧㄝˋ,主ㄓㄨˇ義ㄧˋ是ㄕˋ從ㄘㄨㄥˊ。
矢ㄕˇ勤ㄑㄧㄣˊ矢ㄕˇ勇ㄩㄥˇ,必ㄅㄧˋ信ㄒㄧㄣˋ必ㄅㄧˋ忠ㄓㄨㄥ;
一ㄧˋ心ㄒㄧㄣ一ㄧˋ德ㄉㄜˊ,貫ㄍㄨㄢˋ徹ㄔㄜˋ始ㄕˇ終ㄓㄨㄥ。
