"Into the New Era" is a red song. The whole song is full of patriotism, the melody is full of righteousness, and the lyrics are healthy and uplifting. This song praises our great party and people in the form of lead singers and chorus. It has the characteristics of a lyrical song, and reflects the affectionate and affectionate love for the motherland, the people and all beautiful things! After entering the reform and opening up, the song "Into the New Era" showed us the determination and belief of the four generations of leaders of the party and the country to collectively build a modern and powerful socialist country.

This song praises the third generation of leadership in our country. In addition, "The East is Red" praises the first generation of leadership; "Spring Story" praises the second generation of leadership. A song marks an era and a generation of leaders - this is song creation with Chinese characteristics. "The East Is Red", "The Story of Spring", and "Into the New Era", through these three songs, history is connected together; at the same time, the songs are also solidified in history like amber. China has always had such a humanistic tradition: "March of the Broadsword" in the 1930s, "The Sky in the Liberated Areas" in the 1940s, "Battle Hymn of the Volunteer Army" in the 1950s, "Who Doesn't Say Good About My Hometown" in the 1970s, "Beijing Ode", the "Toast Song" of the 1980s... Each song is like a flag of history - guiding the people at that time and touching those who came after. "Into the New Era" was created on the eve of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1997, expressing the high-spirited feelings at the turn of the century.

Appreciation

" I always want to express my feelings to you, how heroic I feel, how much I love life..." It should be said that "Into the New Era" is a very political lyrical song, and its melody Beautiful, the lyrics are simple, concise, catchy, and touching; it is a natural expression of emotion and the heartfelt voice of the people. It is different from the kind of empty preaching in the form of straightforward slogans, and it is also different from some superficial confessions, and it is also different from the kind of meaningless moaning like "I am so happy today" with poor language but deliberately shouting at the top of one's voice. In fact, in addition to the melody that can express an emotion, songs also have lyrics that convey a social culture. In terms of expression, people's words such as "Nice to meet you" are sometimes just a kind of polite politeness. The recipients do not need to be surprised, let alone take it seriously. Our song creation cannot fall into this kind of " The stereotype of "fake big and empty". "The hard-working and brave Chinese people are marching into the new era with high spirits." Although these two lyrics are not new, they are used in this song to imprint the traditional virtues of the five thousand years of Chinese civilization on the Chinese people and the Chinese people. The spirit of "high-spirited" is appropriately expressed, very accurately and in place.

The reason why the song "Into the New Era" can spread quickly and widely, I think, is largely due to the fact that it abandons the "divided". The songwriter uses simple language and Sincere voices have shortened the emotional distance between the people and the motherland and the party.

An excellent song often reminds people of a bygone era, and an excellent song can often inspire people to spend an extraordinary period of time. As the "light cavalry" of advanced culture, the positive role and far-reaching significance that songs play in the cultural life of the masses in every historical period is self-evident.

The times call for excellent works of art, and the people need good songs. Our musicians have a duty to do. There should be less pretentious "showy tricks" and empty moans, and we should actively go deep into the masses, collect rich musical materials in the fertile soil of life, let the hearts and souls sing together, and create more music that is close to the masses, healthy and upward of excellent works.
