"Belt and Road Band" from Nanchang Hangkong University Releases New Song "Silk Road Under the Moon" Strikes a New Chord in Civilizational Exchange

Recently, a new Silk Road–themed song titled Silk Road Under the Moon was released on multiple music platforms. The piece was written by Nanchang Hangkong University teachers Huang Yichuan and Xie Hua, composed by Fan Xin and Huang Yichuan, and performed jointly by faculty members Zhang Zhongxu, Xiang Lanqi, and Huang Yichuan, together with international students Majd Bentalha, Nodar Asmi, Souhaila Cherkaoui, and other members of the university's "Belt and Road Band".

Through evocative imagery such as camel bells, sailing ships, and moonlight, the song paints a vivid picture of the integration of civilizations along the ancient and modern Silk Road, while conveying the vision of a shared future for humanity. Musically, it blends Central Asian and traditional Chinese elements, with symphonic arrangements in the chorus symbolizing the harmonious resonance of diverse cultures. With its poetic lyrics and multicultural soundscape, the piece reconstructs a dialogue across time and space, reflecting the new connotation of peace, cooperation, and shared development under the Belt and Road Initiative.
