Gongxi Gongxi

The music and words of the song are both by Chen Gexin (under the pen name Qing Yu).

The final lines of this song replicate the typical beat of the Chinese drum.

Contemporary versions of the song frequently appear on Chinese New Year musical collection albums, sometimes as electronic dance music performances and occasionally also feature lyrics in Taiwanese Hokkien and even English.

A more modern rendition of the song appeared on the 2002 China Dolls album 多一點點 – 小調大風行.

This song was included in the Pink Martini Christmas album Joy to the World released in 2010, under the title "Congratulations - A Happy New Year Song" with vocals by China Forbes and Timothy Yuji Nishimoto.
