The Praise the Dragon Flag () was a semi-official national anthem of the Qing dynasty, as well as a military and an imperial anthem. It shares the same tune with Tune of Li Zhongtang, the semi-official anthem from 1896 to 1906.
In 1906, (the 32nd year of Guangxu), the Department of the Army of the Qing Dynasty was established, and wrote this song as its anthem. The Qing Dynasty also used this song as a semi-official imperial anthem (代åÂÂæÂÂ).
