Chinese Piano - Red Songs : Weishan Lake 微山湖 by Lu Qi-Ming
The era under Chairman Mao and the subsequent Cultural Revolution produced a large number of patriotic and Nationalistic Chinese music. Well known of these are The East is Red and March of the Volunteers, both of which have been used as Chinese National Anthems, and possibly the most famous work of that era - The Yellow River Cantata and Piano Concerto. Notwithstanding the propaganda and political undertones of the lyrics of some of these Red Songs, they have left a musical legacy of some very memorable tunes.
Wei Shan Lake is the fifth largest freshwater lake in China, and the largest in Northern China. It is a popular tourist resort.
This popular song extols the beauty of the Wei Shan Lake.

SUMMARY
=======
Shandong (山东; formerly romanised as Shantung) is a coastal province of the People's Republic of China, and is part of the East China region.
Shandong has played a major role in Chinese history from the beginning of Chinese civilization along the lower reaches of the Yellow River and served as a pivotal cultural and religious site for Taoism, Chinese Buddhism, and Confucianism. Shandong's Mount Tai is the most revered mountain of Taoism and one of the world's sites with the longest history of continuous religious worship. The Buddhist temples in the mountains to the south of the provincial capital of Jinan were once among the foremost Buddhist sites in China. The city of Qufu is the birthplace of Confucius, and was later established as the center of Confucianism.
Shandong's location at the intersection of ancient as well as modern north–south and east–west trading routes have helped to establish it as an economic center. After a period of political instability and economic hardship that began in the late 19th century, Shandong has emerged as one of the most populous (95,793,065 inhabitants at the 2010 Census) and most affluent provinces in the People's Republic of China with a GDP of CNY¥5.942 trillion in 2014, or USD$967 billion, making it China's third wealthiest province.

SUMMARY
=======
In China, (Chinese: 国家级风景名胜区; pinyin: Guójiājí Fēngjǐng Míngshèngqū; literally: National-level Scenic and Historic Interest Area) is the exact equivalent of the term 'national park' (Chinese: 国家公园; pinyin: Guójiā Gōngyuán) applied to the rest of the world, as specified in the National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB50298-1999: Code for Scenic Area Planning, and in the Green Paper: Situation and Prospects of China's Scenic Areas published by the Ministry of Construction in 1994. National parks in China were officially approved and declared by the State Council. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is in charge of the supervision and administration of national and provincial parks throughout the country.
To date, China has 244 national parks. The ranges and boundaries of these national parks are often extended beyond what the official names might suggest. For example, the Taihu National Park (太湖国家级风景名胜区; overall size [scenic zones + transitional zones]：3,091 km²), stretching across Suzhou and Wuxi, is composed of 13 scenic zones (with a number of scenic spots in each SZ): Mudu, Shihu/石湖, Guangfu/光福, Dongshan/东山, Xishan/西山, Luzhi, Tongli, Mount Yushan, Meiliang Lake, Lake Lihu, Xihui, Mashan/马山, Yangxian/阳羡, plus 2 isolated scenic spots (falling outside the scenic zone): Taibo's Shrine and Tomb.
