Xi’An, Shaanxi, China, October 28, 2026 — Yangguang News has officially released
Where’s My Chang’an, Tell Me Now, an AI-generated music video featuring lyrics by
Wan Bo, president and editor-in-chief of Yangguang News, AI-generated composition
and arrangement by Yangguang AI Studio, and production support from Xi’an Fusheng
Film and Culture Communication Company. Serving as the seed video for the global
youth short-video campaign “A True Friend Remains Close at Heart, Though Miles Apart:
Me, Tang Poetry, and AI,” the project took eight months to complete, with the lyrics
revised more than 100 times. By blending the Shaanxi dialect, pop music, and AI-
generated visuals, the video offers a fresh approach to engaging younger audiences
with Tang poetry and promoting Chinese culture internationally.

Since its release, the video has attracted online attention and positive feedback
for its distinctive regional character, catchy melody, and imaginative visuals. 
It was also featured as the opening video at Xi’an’s 2026 “Poetic Chang’an, My Commitment
to a Stronger Nation” themed event and the city’s “Capital of Tang Poetry” promotional
event, extending its reach from digital platforms to offline cultural activities.

Bringing Dialect into Poetry: Bringing Chang’an Out of Textbooks

The opening line, “E di Chang’an zai a da,” uses a Shaanxi dialect expression that
immediately brings the ancient capital, with its thousand-year history, closer to
ordinary people.

In writing the lyrics, Wan Bo avoided piling on grand historical narratives and 
instead focused on the most vivid and accessible cultural images of Chang’an. The
refrain “E di Chang’an zai a da” runs throughout the song, linking a series of neatly
structured seven-character lines, including “One half moonlight, one half rhyme,
a city breathing ancient time,” “Half the valley, western wind, half imperial tombs
within,” “Half the mountain wrapped in cloud, half immortal spirits shroud,” and“
Endless deserts, endless gates.”

Short, punchy phrases such as “Li Bai drinks beneath the skies,” “Du Fu sighs where
history lies,” “Han’s great emperors sleep below,” “Tang’s proud rulers rest in 
glow,” “Laozi speaks the Mystic Way,” “Wang Wei dwells in Chan’s still grace,” “
Zhang Qian journeyed to the West” and “Su Wu wandered, then came blessed” then evoke
historical figures and allusions. Through parallel phrasing, the lyrics convey the
cultural depth of Chang’an as a city that embodies “half of Chinese history.”

The line “Chang’an lives inside the heart” adapts a famous line from a ci poem by
Su Shi of the Song dynasty: “Where the heart finds peace is my home.” Originally,
Su Shi’s line expressed an open-minded attitude toward life, conveying the ability
to remain at ease even in adversity. By replacing “my home” with “Chang’an,” Wan
sought to emphasize that Chang’an has been a shared spiritual home for the Chinese
people for thousands of years.

Wan explained that choosing the Shaanxi dialect was no coincidence. Dialect is one
of the most direct carriers of regional culture. Using familiar, colloquial expressions
such as “E di,” meaning “my” in the local dialect, can bridge the distance between
Tang poetry and young people. Chang’an thus becomes more than a distant historical
symbol: it becomes a spiritual home that people can feel, sing about and connect
with emotionally.

Composing a New Melody with AI: Bringing Tang Poetry onto Young People’s Playlists

Generated by the Yangguang AI Studio using artificial intelligence, the song is 
an upbeat pop track with a distinctive musical character, rather than a traditional
Chinese opera or storytelling performance.

Liu Yanchao, head of the Yangguang AI Studio, explained that the creative team wanted
to use a musical language that resonates with young people, allowing Tang poetry
to move beyond a didactic presentation and genuinely find its way onto their playlists.

AI-generated composition and arrangement involved more than simply applying a preset
template. The team adjusted the rhythm and instrumentation according to the emotional
progression of the lyrics. The verses use lively melodies to unfold historical imagery,
while the chorus repeatedly reinforces the emotional invitation, “An ancient capital
of a thousand years. Come often to Chang’an, through joys and tears” creating a 
memorable musical hook that makes listeners want to sing along after hearing it 
once.

Since its release, the work has received positive feedback from many netizens for
its catchy melody and innovative combination of AI and Tang poetry.

Painting Chang’an with AI: A Visual Spectacle Refined Over Eight Months

The visuals in the music video were generated using AI and subsequently refined 
in post-production by Xi’an Fusheng Film and Culture Communication Company, creating
a striking visual world where tradition and the future intertwine. The video features
rich, vibrant colors, combining the artistic conception of Tang poetry in a traditional
style with the contemporary feel of digital light and shadow.

“The lyrics were revised more than 100 times, and the finished work took eight months
to complete,” members of the creative team said.

AI-generated visuals required repeated adjustments to prompts, visual styles and
color balance to ensure that every frame matched the artistic conception of the 
lyrics and the rhythm of the music.

For example, for the line “Qin Shi Huang still guards his throne, deep beneath his
earthen dome,” AI generated a magnificent scene of the Terracotta Army arranged 
in formation at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Particle-based lighting 
effects were then added in post-production, creating a striking collision between
history and the future through a technologically inspired visual treatment.

The Mission of the Seed Video: Making Tang Poetry “Chang’an for the World”

As the campaign’s seed video, _Where’s my Chang’an, tell me now_ serves two purposes.

First, through its polished audiovisual presentation, it provides a creative reference
for participants, demonstrating how Tang poetry can be sung, how Chang’an can be
portrayed, and how AI can be used in the creative process.

Second, its strong appeal and engaging presentation can help generate discussion
on social media, attracting more young people to learn about and participate in 
the campaign.

With its upbeat, memorable melody and distinctive imagery of Chang’an, the music
video has also been featured as an opening performance at the 2026 Xi’an-themed 
event “Poetic Chang’an: I Am Ready to Serve My Country” and at Xi’an’s promotional
activities for its “City of Tang Poetry” initiative, extending its reach from online
popularity to live events.

Wan Bo said the seed video’s core value lies in demonstrating an approach that integrates
traditional culture, AI technology and youth-oriented expression. The goal is not
to make culture seem abstruse or inaccessible, but to make it engaging, enjoyable
to listen to and easy to share.

When the poetic spirit of Chang’an reaches young people through upbeat AI-generated
pop melodies and futuristic visuals, Tang poetry can truly move beyond being a Chinese
cultural heritage and become a source of shared resonance around the world.

An ancient capital of a thousand years, come often to Chang’an, through joys and
tears. A thousand years of Tang poems we keep, a lifelong longing, running forever
deep.

This music video, eight months in the making, is bringing the enduring charm of 
Chang’an and the splendor of Tang poetry to new life in the digital age through 
its distinctive appeal.
