The "Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Song" (蔣公紀念歌) was written to commemorate the Generalissimo. It was written by Hwang Yau-tai in 1975, who later also wrote the "Chiang Ching-kuo Memorial Song" in 1988. The song was formerly popular for school choir competitions as students were required to memorise it. Since the 1990s, under the presidency of Lee Teng-hui, it has fallen into disuse, though most of the population still knows it. The song was also played daily in the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hallevery morning until 2017. Occasionally, it can be heard during political campaigns as well. It was also seen as one of the characteristics of Chiang's personality cult.
