The rise of contemporary Chinese style. In an era when Western music is wildly popular in our country, there are complex reasons for the emergence of Chinese style songs. The first is the Chinese element of Chinese style itself. The elements in the song are familiar to us or widely recited, giving people a sense of intimacy. Secondly, under the general environment of reform and opening up, the rapid development of social economy has caused tremendous changes in people's body and mind. The fast-paced and high-stress life has created new psychological needs for music.
The development of an era will inevitably give birth to the psychology of an era, which reflects the common trends and orientations in all aspects of society in this era in the form of conceptual consciousness, and then expresses a certain universal psychology. Predispositions and mental states. The emergence of Chinese style just meets this universal psychological need and meets the needs of people living under pressure to relieve their impetuous and anxious mentality. Thirdly, with the development of the economy, the prosperity of the country, and the awakening of national consciousness, people are increasingly tired of the overwhelming Western music culture.
In the call for songs with their own musical style, the emergence of Chinese-style songs that combine the advantages of China and the West has completely satisfied the desire of the public. Finally, a group of talented Chinese style songwriters and singers turned Chinese style from a spark into a prairie fire. Among them, Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan can be called the leading figures in Chinese style song singing and creation. Their "Dongfeng Po" exudes an antique Chinese flavor all the time in terms of lyrics, orchestration and singing.
Jay Chou's "East Wind Breaks" established the basic singing method of Chinese style, and the lyrics written by Fang Wenshan also provided reference for the subsequent creation of Chinese style lyrics. Driven by these famous singers, Chinese-style songs are thriving and developing in great strides. Chinese style songs contain many ancient Chinese traditional elements. "Calligraphy", "painted pottery", "four treasures of the study", "famous embroidery", "ink painting", "Chinese characters", "musical instruments", pipa, erhu, guzheng, drums, flutes, etc. have become important materials for Chinese style songs.
