The Song to the Auspicious Cloud (Chinese: 卿雲歌; pinyin: Qīng Yún Gē, literally "Auspicious Cloud Song") was the title of two historical national anthems of the Republic of China. The first version, composed by Jean Hautstont was in use from 1913 to 1915 as a provisional anthem.

(Traditional Chinese Lyrics)
卿雲爛兮,
糺縵縵兮﹐
日月光華﹐
旦復旦兮。
時哉夫,天下非一人之天下也。

(English translation)
How bright is the Auspicious Cloud!
How broad is the brilliancy!
The light is spectacular with sun or moon.
How it revives dawn after dawn!
Time has changed, the whole nation is no longer owned by one person.
