A Brief History of Chinese Rock 20
  Yao Jianfeng late eighties young Chinese Rock
  The first official rock song sound publications in China, as published in 1986 "one hundred years of world peace concert singer," to commemorate the album contains Cui Jian's "Nothing" and "not I do not understand," which also marks the Chinese rock the official birth.
  In 1989, Cui Jian, the first album release, "New Long March of the Rock", which is China's first real rock album, followed by Black Panther band "Black Panther", the band Tang Dynasty, "Tang Dynasty" , compilation "Chinese fire Ⅰ" be released and become stay forever in the annals of Chinese rock and roll classic album.
  He plays the Asian Games in 1990, the first fund-raising charity show kicked off at Beijing Workers Stadium. In the same year is known as "China's first rock festival" and "90 Modern Concert" was held at the Capital Gymnasium. "Tang Dynasty", "breathe," "Cobra", "ADO" and other rock band took part in six performances.
  1993 Southern music society organizations "Music Corporation" held in Guangzhou, "Remembrance of Homecoming" concerts. This is the first large-scale Southern rock surface. Stadium in the capital the same year, the "Olympic Games - China's dream of" large-scale rock concerts.
  In 1994, the Chinese rock history can not be forgotten years. This year was known as the "magic rock heroes" of Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, He Yong also introduced the "Black Dream", "lonely people is shameful," "garbage dump" three albums, plus the same year Cui Jian's " eggs under the red flag, "Zheng Jun's" naked ", the Chinese rock music festival.
  In December 1994, Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, He Yong, "Tang" to participate in Hong Kong, Hung Hom Stadium concert. This is a very important history of Chinese rock and roll concert, the scene filled with media from around the world and nearly 10,000 visitors from Hong Kong, Hong Kong people are Chinese mainland rock band brings the music of the shock.
  Due to various objective reasons, the Chinese rock in the mid-nineties underground development has been in the state, but still stubbornly grows.
  The annual Midi Music Festival, has so far organized five consecutive, dozens of branch rock band take part every year, thousands of young rock fans from around the country rushed to the scene flute.
  Lijiang Snow Mountain Music Festival in 2002, is the first mode of operation in accordance with international practice and at the music festival. Two days for up to twenty hours of continuous performances and carnival activities, mountain people, so that people feel the return of a musical character.
  In 2004, the theme of "Who is singing in the spring," the large rock music festival in Beijing staged a major venue at the same time cycle, thereby creating a history of Chinese rock and roll band once assembled the largest number of performances, the band number over one hundred. This is also the only time Beijing venue for all rock collective action.
  In the same year, called "the glorious road of Chinese rock and roll," rock music festival held in the Helan Mountain. More than ten thousand 15 - to 40-year-old Chinese youth carrying a tent, large military water bottle, beer, grass green army destroyed, binoculars, train, plane, bus toward the Helan Mountain. Three-day show to at least 100 million yuan profit in China amount of rock history's largest and most successful large-scale commercial operations music festival.
  The reality of a strong critical spirit, and the dominant values ​​of deviation or conflict is the spirit of rock's most fundamental characteristic is the value level to identify rock and commercial pop music based. Rock against the dominant culture in most of the time that modern capitalist industrial culture. With a number of modernist art, rock music they reflect social modernization - the process of modernity in many problems arise, or even that of modern industrial civilization, urban culture and market culture of resistance, of alienation, numbness of rock criticism is human nature the spiritual core of the most original, perhaps traceable to the first two musical elements composed of rock - blues and country folk: emphasis on facial and unpredictability of the jump blues music is the language with which to express the vagaries of mechanical industrial order and a single qualitative, mass-market cultural products of the negative, but away from it, abide by the simple values ​​of rural folk is the destruction of the ecological environment, away from the original vitality of nature and human anti-urbanization dial. Although Bruce and music industry folk were later incorporated, the pattern onto the road, but the spirit of the anti-modern industrial culture has been inherited down the rock. United States has a famous band called "anger against the machine" (Rage Against the Machine), the name itself is against industrial civilization; to be known as "art rock" originator of the band Pink Floyd (Pink Floyd) of the MTV "The Wall" (The Wall), the repeated batch machine made man's horror, an indictment of industrial society, the alienation of human nature; and Scorpion (Scorpions) the band's unplugged live album "Acoustica" was a guitar cover wire howling wind be the face, metaphor is a rock in the anti-modern at the same time had to rely on modern technology (such as electro-acoustic guitar and electronic effects) of contradictions.
  Marcuse in "Mystery Train" Lane raised with this anti-modern industrial culture, subculture identity similar views. He said: "rock and roll is meant to be competitive capitalism as a group experience to provide a differentiation of people's sense of belonging to ethnic identity." He also believes that there is a solid rock in contradiction: on the one hand is the "ambition and desperate attitude, a style and sense of adventure, and refused to meet the commitment; while the other is the historical roots and feelings, and for ethnic groups, traditions, sense of belonging to such kind of people agree to accept dependence. "Indeed, if the former is understood as is critical of rock, the latter understood as is its critical approach, both of which would not only not contradictory, and can explain to each other. Indeed, the anti-modern industrial culture, the spiritual core of the rock work will often outside of certain "historical roots and feelings" - the revival of the 1960s folk rock and 1990s, medieval (mediaeval) the initiation of rock is a typical example. That, return to the "ancient civilization" and "agricultural civilization," the arms relative to the sharp criticism of straightforward words, the rock against the "industrial civilization" on the other a more roundabout way.
  It would appear that Chinese traditional culture, rock and folk culture of the absorption, generally speaking, that is anti-modern or pre-modern back, can be found in the rock of their roots. Well-known music critic Jin Zhaojun, said: "In my experience, the tendency of the history of rock and farmers feel, is a kind of modern industrial life and the civilization of the rebel nuanced and delicate. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's" Catch a Fire ', the Tang Empire 'Kaiyuan Spirit Day', ji's 'want to annuity armored cavalry air swallowing miles like a tiger', all embody a kind of recession have been, but there have been a brilliant masculine. Datang open, the five races at the cultural vitality of miscellaneous 'Gou rich, do not forget themselves' type of courage, because of the closeness of blood leaving the Chinese culture, they feel a kind of rock can be connected to past, present and future ties. Moreover, Chinese farmers' awareness of the problem is far from theoretical on the 'small producers' interpretation can include the. Thus, the ancient history of the brilliant moments in China thousands of years actually became their spiritual source rock in China sentiment in a particular end point of view, to the known to rock rebel in communication with the subconscious. This dedication is no doubt there is a strong area of ​​idealism, and is thus leaving the rock to obtain a real anger more than a solid foundation. Just as the ancient Greek Westerners will never aspire to the same person or reduced their own, or spiritual home in the ideal reconstruction. "
