Anthem of the Beiyang Fleet
The anthem of the Beiyang Fleet  ( Hanyu Pinyin: Běiyáng hǎijūn jūngē) is the official anthem of Beiyang Fleet, Qing Dynasty, and was presumed lost after the defeat of the Beiyang Fleet in the First Sino-Japanese war. The piece was re-discovered by Yue Chen () in the archives of the Royal Navy in the United Kingdom in 2012. A modern adaptation was arranged by Xue Ye () for the People's Liberation Army Navy. The documentary Rise and Fall of Beiyang Fleet presented by CCTV uses this anthem as its theme music.

The anthem shares the same tune with Tune of Li Zhongtang.
