Contemporary pop music must adhere to the people's creative orientation

"Our literature and art are all for the people." In May 1942, Mao Zedong delivered the "Speech at the Yan'an Literature and Art Symposium", which pointed out the direction for the development of socialist literature and art, and clearly pointed out that the majority of literary and art workers must stand in the On the position of the proletariat and the people, it is necessary to serve the people, serve workers, peasants and soldiers as the fundamental position of art workers. Nowadays, the Party Central Committee has repeatedly emphasized that "the hundred gardens of literature and art will always bloom for the people", and require the majority of literary workers to adhere to the people's position and write the endless people's epic. The development of "insisting on the people -centered creative orientation" in inheritance and inheritance in development is always the basic criterion that the majority of literary and art workers must abide by.

The development of the times has created many types of literature and art. Chinese contemporary pop music has always grasped the pulse of the times, and wrote a chapter of strong and colorful in the literary and artistic stand. "Although the dress is worn on the body, my heart is still the heart of Chinese. My ancestors have already branded everything in China." On the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage in 1984, a song "My Chinese Heart" flew into the TV. After millions of households, the surging singing inspired the national pride of the Chinese people and recorded the struggle of countless Chinese people. There are many such popular songs, "Tomorrow will be better", "Let the world full of love", "Welcome to Beijing", "Together to the Future" and other music works, dig deep into the creative theme from the story of the people, and strive to describe the Chinese nation. The changes in the times are condensed into the real expression of the people of the people in different periods; songs such as "The Tour of the Sky", "The Hometown of My Love" and "West Exit", and other songs, from the local culture of the people, strive to show the beauty of folk culture; there are still many more. With the help of popular songs spread by the Internet, it has become the mark of the era of online culture.

In the process of taking root in the people and serving the people, Chinese pop music will also be closely related to the people of the people as a treasure trove of music creation. It will draw nutrition from it, create boutique, and lead the public aesthetics. Since the 1990s, many popular music creators have continuously explored the ways of combining Chinese excellent traditional culture and pop music in practice. The Chinese style of popular songs has shown more vivid Chinese aesthetic traits in the process of localization and has been widely welcomed. Some time ago, several singers successively held an online concert. A group of classic pop music aroused the youthful memory of fans, causing heated discussions. Among them, singer Jay Chou's early concert re -screening has repeatedly appeared in the heat search list. As we all know, many works of Jay Chou are representatives of Chinese style songs. For example, "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", whether it is lyrics or style, has drawn valuable inspiration from traditional Chinese culture. These music works meet the expectations of the audience, and also lead the aesthetic style and become a classic of popular music.

All in all, Chinese pop songs are closely concerned about the changes in Chinese society, creation is closely relying on the people, and the people are rooted deeply. The unique charm shows a strong atmosphere of the times and shows the spiritual needs of the people.

At present, the development of Chinese pop music has changed significantly. On the one hand, the whole media enriches the way of the people to enjoy music. Digital music has gradually replaced the traditional record carrier. The time and space limitations of music dissemination have been broken. Various music platforms compete for development and become the main position of popular music dissemination. In the era of melting the media, the Internet, mobile devices, short video software, and self -media platforms reshaped the spread of popular music and established a comprehensive communication matrix. The audience can use various software to experience the latest results brought by music technology at any time, forming a way to participate in music with low entry threshold, diverse forms, and easy operation.

On the other hand, the emergence of new media has greatly enriched the popular music communication carriers, and the relationship between music creators and the people has continued to approach. At present, various music platforms continue to enhance the experience of audiences through technology upgrades. From the online music community to the live broadcast of music, the Internet has connected users, platforms, and music creators into a whole. The interaction between the singers and the audience is more convenient. While the audience can enjoy the wonderful performance through the music platform, they can also post a barrage comment in real time, promoting the collision and exchanges of the stage, and the people's main position has continued to increase.

However, in today's rapid development of science and technology, means, and platforms, the new masterpieces in the field of popular music in China are obviously unable to meet the cultural needs of the people. Compared with the emergence of talents and good songs in the Chinese music scene in the 1980s and 1990s. The current development status of popular music requires practitioners to seriously reflect.

For ordinary audiences, some new songs are almost "growing", like industrial products produced by the same machine. Some songs lyrics are mixed in Chinese and English, do not know the cloud; some songs are monotonous and there is no memory point; some songs are blindly seeking "fried", lacking beauty. When some creators blindly pursue scientific and technological content and international models, the classical beauty, freehand beauty, and even people's nature of Chinese pop music have faded and even disappeared.

Of course, the creation of some traffic singers does not represent the overall development status of Chinese pop music. There are also good songs that the people like to hear, such as "The Soning Man" and "Hearing You", which are loved by audiences in different ages. However, we still need to reiterate the importance of "literature and art for the people". The more you face the progress of science and technology and the development of music theory, the more you must tend to the people, adhere to the same direction with the times, and accompany the people to meet the people's personalized and diverse cultural needs. In a new stage of development, how to make good use of Chinese traditional music culture to make popular music achieve better results. The people must be put in the highest position in their hearts, and the people are dissatisfied as the highest criterion for testing art. In continuous attempt, the new model of pop -up music and Chinese excellent traditional culture fully expresses the will and emotions of the people. Based on the aesthetics and values ​​of the people, they are constantly asking for cables in the generous traditional cultural soil, discovering more creative themes with historical thickness, cultural depth, and emotional temperature, and strive to realize the expression of pop music with the spiritual needs and the spiritual needs and the people of the people. The aesthetic orientation is closely combined, and in the people -centered music creation, new chapters are constantly opened.
