The rise of contemporary Chinese pop music is closely and directly related to the reform and opening up. With the rapid development of the commodity economy, Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music has also spread rapidly in the mainland, laying the foundation for the prosperity and development of the audio and video market. The first pop singer that mainland fans came into contact with was Teresa Teng, known as the "Queen of Sweet Songs". In the late 1970s, popular songs such as Sweet Honey and Town Story sung by Teresa Teng spread to millions of families in the mainland.

Asian Heroic Wind, Black Hair Gone with the Wind and other Asian Games songs became popular. The combination of majestic pop songs and international sports competitions was like a "hurricane" in the spread of pop music, infecting all the people. When rock music reached its climax, band formation became a fashion trend for young people. Urban folk songs, campus folk songs, military camp folk songs, rap music, jazz music and other popular music of different styles are in full bloom.
