INFLUENCEOF CHINESESTYLE INTHEFIELDOF MUSIC What is “Chinese style”
some people sum it up as a unique Chinese music genre combining “three ancients and three new” (ancient poetry, ancient culture, ancient melody, new singing method, new arrangement, new concept). Most Chinese style songs are based on R&B, combined with the traditional tunes of Chinese music, with the addition of national instruments such as erhu, pipa, and flute, often imitating or quoting the singing of Peking opera, opera, and Chinese folk songs, and the lyrics have a Chinese classical artistic conception. Chinese style songs have successfully borrowed the elements of Peking opera, mainly infiltrating the opera elements into popular music from the three aspects of lyrics, singing and orchestration.
