Abstract

In the 1960s, the postmodernist trend of thought that originated in Europe and the United States has become a cultural feature of modern society globally. As its theoretical essence lies in the understanding and tolerance of multicultural values on culture and life, it has promoted economic and cultural growth, development and innovation. The development of vocal music in contemporary China has shown its outstanding features in the current era of pluralism. This paper analyzes the "multiculturalism" which is one of the main characteristics of postmodernism and takes the development of Chinese vocal music as the main line, examines and studies the influence of the postmodernism on contemporary Chinese vocal music ideas and practices. At the same time, it also explores the profound influence of social thoughts such as the protection of intangible cultural heritage and the development of cultural industries on the concept and practice of vocal music in China and its development.
