Guo Xiujin's inscriptions on tablets

Singing: Guo

Folk songs in northern Shaanxi

Lyrics:

In the first month, the Yuanxiao gold plaque was embroidered.

The idea of gold plaque embroidery led by Chairman Mao is lofty.

In February, the spring breeze blew and the gold plaque was embroidered with red.

Mao Zedong, the savior, is embroidered on the gold plaque.

Embroider the blessings of Chairman Mao's people.

You give for us, and we support you.

Commander-in-Chief of Erxiu, an old revolutionary hero

Living for the people can lead a good life.

Three embroidered Premier Zhou, a good premier of the people.

Dedicated to the revolution, we love you.
