1. The whole story of how this work was

published and deleted | 发布和被下架始末

"Tong Tong (Chinese: 嗵嗵)" is a song written, composed and sung by DOUDOU (a Chinese

mainland music singer-songwriter group). It was released on January 23, 2025

and included in the album of the same name " Tong Tong".《嗵嗵》是DOUDOU(中国大陆音乐唱作组合)作词、作曲并演唱的歌曲 ,发行于2025年1月23日,并收录于同名专辑《嗵嗵》。

On March 7, 2024, "Tong Tong" was

suddenly removed from all music websites in Chinese mainland; subsequently, video

websites no longer allowed related videos to be searched by song name (although

the related videos were not deleted and could still be jumped to by other

keywords or the author's homepage). Subsequently, the author who released a

cover of "Tong Tong" on the major video website Bilibili said that

the background prompt that his cover was restricted.2024年3月7日,《嗵嗵》突然被从中国大陆所有音乐网站下架;随后,视频网站也不再允许通过歌曲名称搜索到相关视频(尽管相关视频并没有被删除,仍然能够通过其他关键词或作者主页来跳转到)。随后,有在主要视频网站Bilibili发布《嗵嗵》翻唱作品的作者表示,后台提示其翻唱作品被限流。

DOUDOU's official Weibo and Bilibili

accounts have deleted all content related to "Tong Tong", including

all their performance information including the song from December 2024 to

March 7, 2025, and the "Tong Tong" music video released on Bilibili.DOUDOU的官方微博和Bilibili账号均删除了与《嗵嗵》相关的所有内容,包括他们在2024年12月至2025年3月7日包含《嗵嗵》的所有演出信息,以及在Bilibili发布的《嗵嗵》音乐视频。

On the morning of March 7, 2024, the topic “#嗵嗵下架#(Tong Tong removed)” appeared on the mainstream social media platform “Weibo” (similar to X) in Chinese mainland and

briefly became a hot search; later that day, the hot search topic was removed,

and almost all Weibo posts with “#嗵嗵下架#(Tong Tong removed)” were deleted, with only one Weibo post from “Family Magazine(Chinese:家人杂志)” being retained.在2024年3月7日上午,在中国大陆的主流社交媒体“微博”(类似于X)出现了“#嗵嗵下架#”的话题并短暂登上热搜;在当天晚些时候,这个热搜话题被撤下,且带有“#嗵嗵下架#”的微博几乎全部被删除,仅有“家人杂志”的一条微博被保留。

This post, which may have been left

intentionally, looks like an AI-generated result. It says: "Some netizens

analyzed the reasons for its removal: controversy over secondary creative

content; past controversy over band members; former band members were involved

in drug abuse; risk of metaphors in lyrics; user reactions and influence;

controversy over artistic value; cultural preservation actions; platform trust

crisis."这条可能是被刻意留下的微博看起来像是AI生成的结果。它说:“有网友分析其下架原因:二创内容争议;乐队成员过往争议乐队前成员曾涉吸毒事件;歌词隐喻风险;用户反应与影响;艺术价值争议;文化保存行动;平台信任危机”。

Although no party has given the specific

reason for the removal, based on past experience, the most likely reason for

such a rapid removal and deletion of the relevant blog posts by Weibo is that

the Central Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China or its

subordinate agencies issued a notice to these media outlets asking them to

remove the relevant content. Of course, it is also possible that the copyright

holder of "Tong Tong" made such a request to the media, either

voluntarily or under duress.尽管没有任何一方说明下架的具体原因,但根据以往的经验,出现这种迅速被下架并且微博删除相关博文的情况,最有可能的原因是中国共产党中央宣传部或其下属机构向这些媒体发布了要求他们删除相关内容的通知。当然,也有可能是《嗵嗵》的版权持有者或主动或被迫地向媒体提出了这样的要求。

Baidu Encyclopedia, the largest Internet

encyclopedia website in mainland China, still has an entry for "Tong Tong”,

but it cannot be searched through other Internet search engines, but can only

be searched in the search bar on Baidu Encyclopedia. The entry still remains

the same as it was before March 7, 2025, and does not mention the removal of

"Tong Tong" at all.中国大陆最大的互联网百科网站“百度百科”仍然有“嗵嗵”的词条,但它无法通过其他互联网搜索引擎搜索到,而只能在百度百科站内的搜索栏中搜索到。该词条依旧保持着2025年3月7日之前的样子,完全没有提到《嗵嗵》被下架一事。
