Has the development of Chinese rock music been influenced by the Beatles?
The Beatles is undoubtedly the greatest, most influential, most popular and most successful band in the history of pop music. The Beatles's revolutionary development and influence on pop music is unparalleled. They have made great contributions to the development of rock music all over the world, influenced the music and thoughts of several generations of rock bands since 1960s, and directly influenced the reform and development of rock music. In Britain, since 1960s, The Beatles has influenced the formation and development of almost all bands. The four great musicians in the band, especially John Lennon and paul mccartney, have exerted great influence on the younger generation of rock singers and music creators in all corners of the world. In 1960s, the Beatles led a vigorous wave of music culture invasion, which was called "British invasion" by the United States, which fundamentally impacted the foundation of American music, completely buried the dynasty of Elvis Presley Elvis Presley, dominated the American record market, and influenced the development of American local pop music. The impact on the American recording industry is still 40 years later.

Although the Beatles have only been in existence for ten years, as revolutionaries of music culture, they not only have the highest record of record sales in the world, but also make it difficult for future generations to reach, and their cultural influence has already surpassed their art itself. In these decades, The Beatles has long been a symbol of pop music and culture, and also a trademark of British culture and history. Some of their members were knighted by the Queen of England. The Beatles led the direction of popular culture in the world in the sixties and seventies and became the vane of fashion. Everything about the Beatles has become the most culturally meaningful commodity, and anything used by the Beatles can fetch an amazing price. The Beatles not only appeared on the covers of various magazines countless times, but also often appeared on souvenirs such as stamps and postcards in many countries around the world. They have countless museums and storage institutions for documentaries, films and other related cultural materials. In addition, there are a large number of professional Beatles imitators in the world, as well as institutions and organizations that organize and judge imitation competitions professionally. The Beatles and the Beatles' culture have long been an important part of human culture in the 20th century, and have been engraved forever. As a trademark of popular culture in the last century, it has never been challenged.

The above is the influence of the Beatles on the whole world music industry. As a country with 78 years of reform and opening up, China is sorry to say that the Beatles' works had little influence on the early rock music in China. Although many rockers will listen to their works later, there are not many notes that can influence or form an influence, but their musical ideas have more or less penetrated into the hearts of people engaged in rock music. 1980, the first rock band "Kings" appeared. The band members are Wan Xing, Li, Ma Xiaoyi and. At that time, they only covered the Beatles' works, and there were very few real performances. At that time, there was no need to draw a clear line between pop and rock as it is today.

In the early years, people's cultural life was mainly about listening to the radio and watching big plays, followed by some high-end translated movies about war.

The pursuit of this kind of music stems from that generation's admiration for foreign cultures. Because China people have experienced cultural baptism, and their ability to accept new things and new things has never been stronger, it is understandable to have such a pure imitation band. However, with the influx of more fresh culture, the Beatles' works, as the products of the 1960s, are a little behind the times, and the cultural explosion brought about by the reform and opening up, so Chinese rock and roll will flourish later and a hundred schools of thought contend. 1984, seven young people, including Cui Jian from Beijing Song and Dance Troupe, formed the "Seven Plywoods" band and released an album covering American folk songs. But in less than a year, it was dismissed by the relevant departments. "What do you do with this music?" 1988, Tian Zhuangzhuang made a movie called "Rock Youth", which told a story that had nothing to do with music, and it was the struggle of a young break dancer. At that time, some behaviors that dared to break the shackles were considered as "rock". This is not the second-grade mood of rebellious young people now, but the struggle of taking new things and old things as life.

In fact, before 1989 Cui Jian's first "Rock on the New Long March" was published, those people and bands were actually not rock in the strict sense, but the bud of a new music.

The word "rock" began to be collocated with "spirit", and it is still a controversial topic between musicians and spiritualists today. However, before 1986, no one made the sound like Cui Jian. Those contemporaries don't need to live by rock and roll. Looking at the life tracks that were once related to rock and roll, we can better understand that Chinese rock and roll represents more than music, at least not at that time; Rock' n' roll, there's no need to spend your whole life with it.
