Who founded the first song and dance troupe in China?
Who combines jazz with Chinese folk tunes to create a new kind of Chinese jazz, "Time song"?
Who discovered the NIE er of the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, "volunteer March"?
Who has created all the paths for Chinese modern pop music in the 20th century, but forgotten?

"Li Minghui, she with her own song for China's modern pop music opened the curtain, she and her song has become a timeless classic memory, and her achievements of that period of Agarwood, also became the first taste of Chinese pop music."   The first pop singer in Shanghai and even China left us forever in 2003. Speaking of this song, his songwriter is Li Minghui's father Li Jinhui's, he is China's early streamIn 1921, he came to Shanghai with the task of implementing the vernacular Mandarin, but here he became the pioneer of Chinese pop songs. From the 1922 Li Jinhui's created the Bright Moonlight Music club began, the creation of popular music and dance performance precedent.   The Bright moon musical troupe, founded in 1930, has become the cradle of Chinese pop songs and several generations of singers. Old Shanghai is undoubtedly a dream home for many people. Ten Li miles downtown on those feasting, romantic, the past glitz and glory has been flashing to today, and now think back to that era of Shanghai music, always let a person indulge unceasingly. Although decades have passed, the landscape has been dried up by history, but the landscape is still the face of those fresh faces, as well as their wonderful legends. In all the legends of Shanghai, in the 20 's to 40 's that part of the most exciting, the achievements of Shanghai Century City history of the most magnificent scene of light and shade, the most intense part of Agarwood, decades passed, once swept the name of Shanghai Beach people have not been, but that period of incense has stayed down, until today, still a style,    A chic. Li Minghui and Father Li Jinhui's Li Jinhui and "Ho Day June Again" Li Jinhui was born in the end of 19th century in Hunan, a wealthy prominent families. His brother, eight, was a famous man in the future.     Especially eldest brother Wu Jinxi, is a famous linguist. Li Jinhui's "Chinese song and Dance Specialized School" 1916 to 1926, Li Jinhui in Beijing. He participated in the compilation and publication of the first Chinese vernacular Mandarin textbooks in modern China, and participated in the compilation and publication of the earliest and longest-lived children's publication "Little Friends"; he wrote the first children's musical in China, and broke the taboo that women in the late Qing and early republic were not allowed to perform on stage.     Let his daughter Li Minghui become the first woman to perform on stage in that era. From 1927 to 1936, Li Jinhui opened the "Chinese Dance School". He referred to the Japanese Takarazuka Ensemble, the "standard human beauty from the shackles of feudal doctrine liberation."     But Li Jinhui was put on a "yellow music" hat, and it started. Li Jinhui's Dance school developed music, film talent at that time all smash hit.     He also promoted two people: a former name Zhou Xiaogong, later renamed as Zhou Xuan, the other is Shouxin, and later in Nie er for the film "Children of the Storm" wrote episode "Volunteer March", is now the national anthem of the People's Republic of China. In 1929, the Northern Expedition troops entered Shanghai, Li Jinhui by the concession and the Northern expedition of both sides of the political squeeze, forced to lead the dance school to the Southeast Asian countries tour. The tour resulted in an unprecedented success and sensation, but the result was that Li Jinhui stuck Singapore because of the local digs. In order to earn his return, in a short period of time to write a 100 "family love Song", contact to the Shanghai Bookstore Publishing, the results not only the money to return, but also launched a new situation of the cause. His shot made him stand up to the incomparable height of the Chinese pop song World, singing the bigThe film company all to invite Li Jinhui composing music as the highest goal. He recorded hundreds of records for this reason.     In 1932, "The Big Evening News" held the Shanghai first three major broadcasting singers selection activity of more than 100 songs, 90% of the songs are written by Li Jinhui. To create the "Times song" Li Jinhui pop music, in the history of Chinese music is completely new trend. He stuck in Singapore at the time of his creation, so he has no information at hand, so no matter the poetry, Western poetry, folk tunes and folk dance, all of them are used for me. As a result, he pioneered China's unprecedented popular era, the famous "Time song." His creation and the follow-up of others, formed a huge stream, and singers, radio, film, karaoke, magazines, gossip and other forms of a symbiotic body, alternate body, the entire 340 's Shanghai culture of the representative.     "Ho Day June again" although not Li Jinhui himself works, but it is that era of popular music in the best miniature. A lot of people are because of Teresa Teng know "What day June come again." In fact, this song has been 70 years of history. This song was originally a 1938-year film "Samsung companion Month" episode, by Zhou Xuan vocals. The film is not very good, but this song has alarmed the teaching, become a Chinese modern pop music history, even a profound song in modern history. This "time song" masterpiece, once known as "decadent music", all the forces are to be removed and then quickly.     But this song, but shows the unspeakable vitality. The 100-year-old song Li Jinhui personal in Shanghai's time, roughly ending in 1936. His insistence on idealism is not suitable for operating a commercially successful and accumulated entertainment business, coupled with political and military forces of oppression, cultural attacks, the underworld of coercion and plunder, but also in order not for the Japanese army, in the Japanese occupation of Shanghai Eve, he determined to leave Shanghai, farewell to his creation of the music world.     But the talent he cultivated continued to dominate Shanghai's music and film industry throughout the 450. 2004 Spring Festival, CCTV broadcast documentary "100 Years of Song", the beginning sounded the Li Jinhui "drizzle" melody.     This song has been recognized by the music industry as China's first popular song.   "China's popular music development Profile 2" second, the founder of Chinese pop music-li Jinhui's Li Jinhui's (1891-1967) is the founder of Chinese pop music. Li Jinhui's was born in Xiangtan, Hunan, learning guqin and plucked instruments from childhood. His hometown folk music and the local popular Shan, Huagu Opera, Hanju and other drama music influenced him deeply. In 1927, he founded the "Chinese Song and Dance School", and then formed the "Chinese dance troupe". 1929 organized the "Moon Song and Dance Troupe", and traveled throughout the country to show. In 1931, the "Moon Song and Dance troupe" was incorporated into Luen Wah Pictures.    1949 years later, he worked as a composer at the Shanghai Fine Arts film studio and died in Shanghai in 1967. Li Jinhui's youth was fascinated by the new music movement, advocatedThe new music is in hand with the neo-literature movement. Based on this understanding, he created a large number of children's operas, dances and songs. These works are not only rage in mainland China, but also spread across Hong Kong and Nanyang. "Sparrows and children", "Grape fairy", "Fairy sister", "poor Autumn Incense", "Moon Ming Night" and other songs spread extremely wide. The works of this period are mostly to protect children's creative ability, oppose feudal education as the theme, the text is easy to understand, the music language concise, vivid, lively, inherit and develop the Shen Xin and Li Shutong with the advocated school songs tradition. At the same time, he is an expert in the use of folk music materials. In these children's songs, folk songs, minor tunes, Qupai and so on have become the material of creation.   In the nationalization of song creation, Li Jinhui's is undoubtedly a forerunner. Following the children's song and dance, Li Jinhui's into the creation of pop music.   "Drizzle", "Sister I Love You" is his early pop music, marking the birth of Chinese pop songs. Li Jinhui's into the creation of pop music and achieved success has its corresponding social background. At that time, Shanghai had the characteristics of capitalist commercial metropolis, and Western especially American pop music flowed into China through ballroom, film, radio and other media. The demand for pop music has emerged in the cultural life of the Civic class.   Mr Lai's pop music was born in this situation. 1928, Li Jinhui's rate "Chinese song and Dance troupe" to Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaya, Singapore and other venues to tour, "drizzle" and other popular songs that have been with his children song and dance as the main program. In 1929, due to financial difficulties stranded in Singapore unable to return, he accepted a book company orders, in the short term wrote 100 popular songs sent back to Shanghai, by the Shanghai Civilized bookstore published 16 album.   "Peach Blossom River", "Special Express" and other songs that became at this time, great success. "The Moon Song and dance troupe" is an important group in the development of Chinese pop music. Chinese first-generation singers such as Zhou Xuan, Baihong, Yan, pop music writers such as Li Jinguang, devotion are in this regiment.   Nie er also from here on the road of music creation. 1931-1936, Li Jinhui's also for the "Human fairy" and other more than 10 film soundtrack, most of the episodes are pop songs. At the same time, he also engaged in ballroom music, the folk melody Jazz.   At that time, "hundred Generations", "victory" and other record companies recorded a large number of popular songs published. Li Jinhui's 's popular music creation lays the basic style of Chinese pop music, that is, folk melody and western dance rhythm combine. At that time, there were mainly tango, foxtrot and so on. The adapter also mimics American jazz style. On the "drizzle", "Peach Blossom Red", "Special Express" and other works of the style is not high, some rather vulgar, to cater to the vulgar taste of the small people, then was widely criticized. Nie er wrote a reprimand on these works. It can be said that the beginning of Chinese pop music did not take a healthy road. In addition to mediocre content, music on the rough, singing on the show, childish, the development has brought a bad impact. But he's dealing with the flowThe successful experience in the relationship between foreign form and national tradition in music is worthy of reference by posterity. Third, the salvation Masses song creation and the progress music Worker's popular songs creation 1931 "918" incident erupted, Japanese militarism invaded China facts caused the national sense of crisis unprecedented upsurge. Along with the National Salvation Movement, there appeared the mass salvation singing activity. The vast number of progressive music workers to create a large number of salvation songs.   Thus lay another direction of Chinese song creation. Nie ER is a leader in the Salvation Song writers. In just two years or so, the vast majority of the 30 more than songs he wrote were widely circulated successes. "Graduation Song", "New Woman", "Pioneer", "volunteer March" is his pioneering work in the March.   "Flying Song", "Beyond the village woman" and so on is a folk song lyrical songs are very characteristic of the works. In the salvation singing activity, can also cite like "Broadsword March" (Mazine lyrics), "Go to the enemy rear" (Xian Xinghai qu), "guerrilla song" (he luting lyrics) and other marching style songs.   This period laid the marching style of the mass song (later known as the queue song) has shown a mature Chinese national characteristics, such as less the use of chord decomposition of the melody, but mainly five voice-level, the rhythm of multi-stage, rich lyric and so on. At the same time, progressive musicians have also been involved in the creation of popular music as the main medium of film. such as Nie er "farewell to Nanyang", "Mei Niang's Song", "Showgirl under the heel", Ninguang and an E "Yu-Guang Song", "Bachelor", he luting "Four Seasons Song", "Tianya Showgirl" (Tian Hanguang Word), "Spring" (Guanlu, he luting word), "the eyes of the Iraqis" and Liuxuean "Ho-June Again"   These are the episodes for Progressive films. In short, before the anti-Japanese war broke out, Chinese song creation, in addition to a few art songs, can be broadly divided into two branches. One is the popular music represented by Li Jinhui's, and the other is a mass song represented by Nie er and xian xinghai. The popular music is based on the western popular music form, the writing has two kinds of trend of the folk song and the western production size, the mass songs are modeled by the Western marching and folk songs, and the writing has two tendencies of folk song and marching. The type differentiation which has been completed thus lays the basic trend of the mass song creation in the future.
