Music has always been an important part of Chinese people’s life. People enjoy listening to music at home and in concerts halls. As time goes by music changes.

Traditional music is part of our culture so it often stays with us for a long time. Many of the traditional Chinese songs have been around for many years. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes only very little. Modern Chinese music which is loved by many young people however is mainly pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Today’s musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day.

Before radio and TV were invented music could only be heard live that is you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very busy so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people the best chance to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today people hear music all the time. Radio and TV play songs every day and night and you can even hear music played on the street.

One thing that hasn’t changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about past and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being.

Music traditional or modern Chinese or international seems to be a world language that everybody can understand and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go but nothing changes our love for good music.
