"Stille Nacht" from GermanyThis story starts with a song called "Silent Night". In 1818, in Austria, to celebrate Christmas, a local godfather Joseph Mohr wrote the lyrics of a song called "Stille Nacht". In order to compose music for his lyrics, More found his friend, Austrian composer Franz Xaver Gruber, and asked him to compose music for "Stille Nacht". 2. Silent Night in the United States Fast forward to 1859, John Freeman Young, a pastor who presided over daily affairs at Trinity Church in New York, was also preparing for the Christmas Eve Mass. As for the songs for the mass, he remembered the German version of Stille Nacht that he had heard, and suddenly felt that it was very appropriate. While he was excited, Yang realized that his believers came from all over the world and might not be able to understand German. 3. Christmas Eve in China After Yang, Silent Night was translated into more than 140 languages and spread all over the world. After the fall of the Qing government, Silent Night was introduced to China along with foreign missionaries. During the May Fourth Movement, Liu Tingfang, who was a professor of psychology at Peking University and also a Protestant missionary during the Republic of China period, translated Silent Night into Chinese. In line with the principles of faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance, Liu Tingfang did not translate it literally into "silent night", but rather translated it according to the spirit of "tranquility and calmness" it expresses. Later, because the song "Silent Night" became a must-sing song at the Christmas Eve Mass, and most of the preachers at that time were elegant intellectuals, over time, people preferred to call the night of December 24 "Silent Night" rather than "Christmas Eve."
