Starting from the musical activities of Mr. Li Jinhui, the forerunner of China pop music, and taking his feudal Yue Ming Opera Club as a clue, he initiated children's musicals such as Three Butterflies, Sparrows and Children. She started singing and dancing performances such as "Poor Chou-heung" and "Cold Clothes Song", and then wrote the first batch of family love songs in China, namely, the popular songs "Rain in Mao Mao", "Sister I Love You", "taohuajiang" and "Express". This problem ended with the dissolution of the Music Group of Yue Ming Opera Association, and most singers entered the film industry.

The second stage of development:
Early period: 1937- 1949 (Shanghai period)
After entering the film industry from Zhou Xuan in this issue, two episodes sung in the films "Street Angel", "Sing Girl" and "Four Seasons Song" spread all over the country. The generation of songs she created has influenced the whole China music scene, which can be described as euphemistic, gentle, relaxed and sweet. But the volume and strength are not big.
The whole situation of this period of music is that there is no singing and dancing troupe to perform. Only a few singers specialize in recording and radio broadcasting. Most singers mainly make movies, and the shadow songs that sing movie episodes appear in amphibious form. In this issue, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the main representative singers moved to Hong Kong for development.

Later period: 1950- 1969 (Hong Kong period)
This issue started with Yao Min and Yao Li, and many lead singers moved to Hongkong. At first, it was mainly movies and songs, but as time went on, the proportion of singers who sang and recorded records increased. The interlude in the film was not sung by the actors themselves, and professional singers were invited to accompany it, but there was still no obviously influential song and dance group performance.
The singing style has not changed much, and the characteristics of femininity and gracefulness have decreased, tending to be natural and plain. In addition, due to the influence of white light, the number of singers with alto characteristics has increased by singing in the bass range; Influenced by Li Xianglan, the number of singers who use or borrow western traditional singing methods has also increased. At the end of 1960s, Mandarin pop songs gradually declined in Hong Kong, while Cantonese songs flourished and occupied the dominant position in the music scene. The main representative is Samuel Hui.

The third development stage: 1970- 198 1 (Taiwan Province Province period).
Since the late 1960s, pop music in Taiwan Province Province has gradually developed. Replaced the declining status of Mandarin pop songs in Hong Kong music scene. Its symbols are a song by Xie Lei, Mary, and a song by Yao Surong, Don't Go Home Today. These two songs are popular in Southeast Asia and have established the leading position in the pop music scene in Taiwan Province Province.
Previously, the songs performed in the music scene of Taiwan Province Province included folk songs of Han nationality and various ethnic minorities (including songs in Minnan); Mandarin pop songs in Shanghai and Hong Kong; And songs influenced by Japan. Later, he gradually created a time song with his own characteristics between Shanghai pop songs and modern urban pop songs. This style of songs did not gradually decline until the early 1980 s and was replaced by popular songs in new cities.
In the mid-1970s, a famous campus folk song movement took place in Taiwan Province Province. Students initiated the creation and singing, which had a far-reaching impact and even spread to the music circles in Hong Kong and the Mainland. It was not until the early 1980s that pop music was introduced and developed together, injecting fresh blood into pop music.

The fourth stage of development: after 1982 (period of diversification of center of gravity)
At the end of 1970s, the popular songs of Mandarin in Taiwan Province Province began to decline. Because Tayu Lo's album "Who are you" followed Julie's album "Riding on the Wrong Bus", it changed the style of Taiwan's music scene and laid the foundation for new city pop songs.
The song style of this issue is far from the original domestic tradition and is deeply influenced by Europe and America. Chinese pop music, led by Taiwan Province Province, has developed rapidly. Because during this period, with the continuous development of science, high-tech means were applied to music production, and the commercialization trend became more obvious, which promoted the development of pop music. There is a scene that China pop songs are blooming everywhere in the world. Coupled with the market economy of the mainland's reform and opening up policy, pop music has also developed. In this way, its market will be broader, forming a diversified pattern of focus.
During this period, the audience was obviously divided, and pop music almost became the patent of young people, which was unacceptable to most elderly listeners. There is no strict boundary between pop music, folk music and serious music in Shanghai period, which is quite different from the situation that young people and old people enjoyed Xian Yi and both refined and popular tastes.
