In terms of musical style, Chinese pop music was significantly different from European and American pop music. European and American pop music had a richer variety of styles, and their songs had more rhythm and musicality. From a technical point of view, traditional China music was mainly based on lines, emphasizing "rhyme" and breath, using the five degrees of mutual generation and pentatonic style (Gong Shang Jiao Zhiyu), while Western classical music used twelve equal temperament, major and minor modes (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si), and paid more attention to harmony and rhythm. From an artistic perspective, traditional China music was influenced by Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. It expressed the perception of nature and the analysis of life. It was known for its broad-mindedness and profoundness, emphasizing the integration of "emotion" and "scenery". It was the unity of the host and the guest, reflecting the "quiet beauty" of the "harmony" spirit. Modern pop music was also influenced by this and paid attention to artistic conception and charm. Western classical music originated from religious beliefs. In the early stages, it was known for its seriousness, emphasizing the opposition between the host and the guest. It had the color of drama or tragedy, reflecting the "magnificence". Later, as it developed, it expressed emotions directly and intensely, and its ability to express emotions was strong. In terms of the form of expression, China folk music was generally monophonic music with melody as the main performance content, emphasizing the form of line thinking, and paying more attention to the modification of appoggios and glissando to convey emotions. Western music was generally expressed as three-dimensional polytonic music, which was performed by more than two melody parts that existed in a contradictory relationship at the same time. A variety of melody parts overlapped with each other and acted together, appearing magnificent. In history, China music did not have a complete composition theory and rules like Western classical music, so it was easier for it to be lost. On the other hand, Western classical music had theories, norms, and a large number of texts and sound documents that were easy to spread. Read more exciting novels for free
There were many differences between China songs and foreign songs. In terms of traditional music, China traditional music had a unique aesthetic experience accumulated in the long history of the nation, which was obviously different from Western classical music (mainly symphonies).

From a technical point of view, traditional China music was mainly based on lines, emphasizing "rhyme" and breath. It used the five degrees of mutual generation and pentatonic style (Gong Shang Jiao Zhiyu). Western classical music used twelve equal temperament and major and minor modes ("do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si"), which paid more attention to harmony and rhythm. Moreover, Western classical music had complete theories, norms, and a large number of texts and sound documents, which were easy to spread.

Most of them were the crystallization of understanding nature, analyzing life, and raising the main life interest. They were good at broad-mindedness and depth, emphasizing the blending of "emotion" and "scenery". In terms of pop music, Chinese enunciation was much more complicated than English. When dealing with high-pitched and tone-shifting techniques, singers needed to adjust the pronunciation of Chinese characters to adapt to the microphone recording, which increased the difficulty of singing and limited their performance. European and American singers did not need to consider language factors too much when singing, and could focus more on musical performance. Culture-wise, European and American music culture paid more attention to personality and free expression, and singers 'stage performance was more flamboyant and infectious. Chinese music culture was more reserved and reserved, and singers paid more attention to skills and forms when singing, and lacked emotional input and expression. In terms of music creation, the European and American music scene emphasized innovation and variety. They encouraged the attempt of new styles and elements, and the works were original and had strong personality. The domestic music scene was influenced by commerce and imitation. The works lacked creativity and personality, and the domestic singers were also slightly lacking in innovation. In terms of stage performance, European and American singers performed more flamboyantly and impressively in their concerts, and they were good at establishing emotional connections with the audience. Some domestic singers performed more conservatively on stage and lacked sufficient tension and performance. Moreover, the domestic music industry needed to be strengthened in terms of internalization, resulting in limited international exposure and influence of domestic singers. In terms of skill level and musical accomplishment, European and American singers generally had high musical accomplishment and skill level. Not only did they have excellent singing ability, but they were also proficient in a variety of musical instruments and dance performances. The skill level of domestic singers was uneven. Some singers relied too much on post-production and packaging, so the live performance effect was not good. There were also differences in the performance of pop songs in different countries. For example, in terms of lyrics and singing style, there were big differences between American pop songs, China pop songs, and Indian pop songs. In addition, from the perspective of musical instruments, the role and emotional atmosphere of China suona and Western piano were different. Suona had a special meaning in folk life scenes such as weddings and funerals. One could judge the corresponding occasion by listening to it, while piano played a more important role in cultivating sentiment. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

From the reference materials, there were reviews of China folk singer Hailai Amu's songs by foreign singers. After listening to Hailai Amu's " Your Thousands of Rivers and Mountains," a well-known foreign singer did not resonate with him in terms of vocal skills and emotion. He thought that Hailai Amu's voice was a continuous tearing voice with problems such as cracking. Her assistant also agreed that the song sounded very "down-to-earth" and felt that the China people were working in the fields, which was "not elegant". However, this evaluation was opposed by many netizens, because Hailai Amu's music creation was close to life, and the lyrics and songs had sincere and simple feelings, which was where its charm lay. Moreover, foreign singers could not understand the cultural details and meaning of the lyrics because of language and culture. It was one-sided to judge the artistic conception of the song just by listening to the style of the song. In addition, there were also cases of foreign singers singing China folk songs, such as the song "Shepherd of the Cocoto Sea" by the Morocco singer Dina, and the song "Chinese Ballad" by the Ghana singer Milan. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
