The Fusion of Pop Songs and Chinese Elements: Zhou Shen's Traditional Elements Involved Performance in the Song Guangliang/Bright

Abstract

Since the beginning of the 21st century, as China's national strength continues to grow, the Chinese people's national consciousness has increased. In order to make more young people pay attention to history and love traditional music, many musicians have incorporated Chinese-style elements into popular music with high popularity, which are reflected in the lyrics, singing voice, and orchestration of the songs throughout all parts of the songs. This study takes the song "Bright" composed by Qian Lei and sung by Zhou Shen as an example to analyze some "Chinese style" music. It is argued that the social function and entertainment functions of pop music will be increasingly enhanced, and the development also tends to diversify, and in the future, China's "Chinese-style" pop music will certainly have a bigger and better development.
