What is the blues? Quite simply, we can literally understand that English is Blues, which means blue, and blue is the representative color of melancholy, so the music mode that naturally expresses melancholy becomes blues. Moreover, from the perspective of music development, it is closely related to all kinds of music development, especially in Europe and America, and is inextricably linked with all kinds of music.

Blues music is a musical style created by black people living in America in their hard life. In the process of social development at that time, blacks were regarded as the working people at the bottom. This great music form was bred in their tragic history, which was in sharp contrast with their social status at that time. It originated in the Mississippi River Delta, originated in the early 20th century, and served as a labor horn for people in the early days. At first, Bruce was mainly a vocal narrative, improvising all the pains and joys in life. Later, musical instruments were added in the process of evolution and development, usually acoustic guitars and harmonicas. Its appearance made great contributions to jazz, rock music, country music and western music. It can be said that it is an important part of western music.

In the 1920s, Bruce rose gradually with his unique lyrics, harmonious rhythm and melancholy melody. Although the lead singer is the key in blues music, the improvisation of musical instruments is also very wonderful. Musicians can transcend the boundaries of chords and play freely. In addition to the melancholy melody, it also includes the scraping sound of the knife and the use of the slider, as well as the humming sound imitating the lead singer.

Nowadays, blues music has been gradually integrated into mainstream music, and many of its elements have been more applied to rock music and pop music. But the traditional blues music still has great power. The following are the main categories: jumping blues, harmonica blues, electronic blues, Delta blues, classic female blues, country blues, variety blues, urban blues, swamp blues, soul blues, piano blues, new york blues, New Orleans blues, Memphis blues, jazz blues, folk blues, early American blues and original blues.
