The main five style types of Chinese popular songs for?

After more than twenty years of wind and rain precipitation of popular songs, the number of large, wide range of subjects is conceivable, so this paper is based on the subject matter and singing style of popular songs for classification and style analysis.

1. Urban romantic songs (including urban love songs, sweet songs): these songs are generally based on the urban background, with a keen eye to capture the life, thoughts and emotions of urban people, and with meticulous strokes to describe the complexity of people living in the city (mainly young people). The tunes are lyrical and softly sung. For example, "Urban Traveling Bag" and "Thinking of You" reflect the life and love concepts of urbanites from different perspectives.

2. Ballad (including city ballad, campus ballad and new ballad): The lyrics of the ballad have the characteristics of the ballad body, natural and calm, catchy, the melody is relatively fresh and smooth, and the mood is far away from the elegant, not charming. It uses guitar as the best accompanying instrument, like the improvisation of wandering artists and minstrels, and is a highly self-indulgent form of singing.

Most of the school songs in the ballad are students' own compositions, taking the clean land of the campus as the background for their creation, so they are more pure and clear. For example, "Childhood", "The Story of Light Time" and the campus song "You at the Same Table" written by mainland China in the 90's really let people experience the mood of abandoning the hustle and bustle of the city and returning to the simplicity of the real world. City ballads, on the other hand, go out of the school gates to touch on the common things and common people in the complicated society with a broader theme. The lyrics are more like family life, not pursuing the poetic mood, and not forcing rhymes and counterpoints. For example, Ai Jing's "My 1997" is a realistic painting of a "young 'wandering artist' traveling around the world in pursuit of his goal", in which "a young 'wandering artist' traveling around the world in pursuit of his goal". Its homely and straightforward language is like a realistic painting of "a young 'wandering artist' traveling all over the world, persistently pursuing his goal", and behind the hardship of "having no fixed place to live and no proper food to eat", he is so free and peaceful. The new ballad is developed from the city ballad, which has more innovations on the tune, and the subject matter also pays more attention to the connotation of folk culture, and is more good at digging out the thought-provoking problems in real life.

3. Northwest Wind: Northwest Wind absorbed the folk tunes of Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Northeast and other northern regions, such as "Albatross" and "Flowers" as its basic musical language, and combined them with the rhythms of rock and roll, disco and other rhythms, and the tunes are robust and rugged, with a mountainous atmosphere. The tunes are rugged, rich in mountainous and wild atmosphere, and the singing style is vigorous and bold, revealing the beauty of masculinity, with the flavor of folk songs and the style of contemporary "powerful songs". Most of the themes of the Northwest Wind reflect the reality of life in the Northwest on the poor sores of the land of the peasants are still not rich.

4. Rock and roll: The rock and roll music that emerged in China in the late 80's is generally characterized by aggressive rhythms, frantic performances, wildness and exuberance, and heavy, swinging sound that brings strong sensory stimulation and arouses the desire of the audience to take an active part in the music. Its content contains a rebellious spirit of deviation and innovation, and is mostly healthy and youthful, advocating a positive outlook on life.

5. New seasonal ditties: ditties, or ditties, are the songs of the alleys. Its biggest feature is that its tunes are cleverly combined with folk music materials rich in local color, so the melody is both simple and clear and easy to catch, and the rhythm is relatively regular. For example, "Xiao Fang" describes a kind, beautiful, simple and lovely rural girl, and its tunes are characterized by "doo-file tunes", which makes the "old tree" blossom into "new flowers". The themes of the dirges focus on the daily life, customs and love of the ordinary working people in rural towns. For example, the "big sedan chair" is a piece of work full of folk customs and festive colors.
