  Chiral dynamics is investigated using the chiral confining Lagrangian (CCL),
previously derived from QCD with confinement interaction. Based on the
calculations of the quark condensate, which is defined entirely by confinement
in the zero quark mass limit, one can assert that chiral symmetry breaking
occurs not spontaneously but is predetermined by confinement. The expansion of
the CCL provides the GMOR relations and the effective chiral Lagrangian, which
is used to provide the masses and decay constants of all chiral mesons,
including $\eta,\eta'$. For the latter one needs to define a non-chiral
component due to confinement, while the orthogonality condition defines the
wave functions and the eigenvalues. The resulting masses and decay constants of
all chiral mesons are obtained in good agreement with experimental and lattice
data.
