Abstract

Chinese pop music, often regarded as an ‘imported’ commodity, possesses concise compositions, easy comprehensibility, and a diverse range of styles. Due to its relatable content mirroring everyday life, it enjoys widespread adoration among the Chinese populace. In recent times, with the global proliferation of pop music, Chinese musicians have embarked on integrating traditional elements from Chinese culture into their melodies, background instruments, and lyrics, while drawing inspiration from and assimilating Western pop music. Consequently, this fusion has birthed distinctive works of Chinese-style pop music, each bearing its unique characteristics. Musicians have embraced the perspective that amalgamating pop music with China’s rich cultural heritage is pivotal, foreseeing its potential for enduring significance domestically and internationally. This study employs a literature review approach, leveraging China’s cultural prowess, to analyze the diverse styles encapsulated within Chinese pop music. Furthermore, it scrutinizes the infusion of traditional Chinese elements such as folk songs, theatrical performances, ethnic musical modes, indigenous instruments, as well as elements from ancient poetry and historical figures.
