This allows us to see that only music works that meet the development of the times and show the mainstream of society can become a classic; only music works that absorb excellent cultural elements and reflect the voice of the people can sing continuously. How to learn valuable experience from the creation and singing of classic Hong Kong music and promote the creation of boutique music in the new era.

Hong Kong Le is the youth memory of several generations of mainland audiences. It almost covers the youth of the post -60s, post -70s, post -80s, and even some post -90s and post -00s. For a long time, singing Cantonese songs represent a fashion. What is the charm of Hong Kong? Why are you singing endlessly? Two of these factors have to be mentioned. One is that Hong Kong Le Sheng meets at the time. Along with the Hong Kong economy in the 1970s and 1980s, Hong Kong music was accompanied by Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong films. The fashion style, infectious lyrics and popular singing methods directly resonated with the hearts of mainland audiences in the early days of reform and opening up. The second is the unique cultural temperament of Hong Kong music. A group of excellent words represented by Huang Zhan used deep Chinese academic skills to draw nutrition and use classical poems from the excellent traditional culture of China, and injecting the meaning of oriental culture and strong humanistic atmosphere into Hong Kong music. In the memory of many people, it is happy and unforgettable to refer to lyrics in composition and diary.

Looking back at history, in the revolutionary period, music such as "Volunteer for the Volunteer" was the horn of the revolution and the weapons of fighting.

Music works follow the pace of the times, perceive the pulse of art from the pulse of the times, and sing the melody of the times. Good works are both an era and eternal.

The second is to adhere to the people's position and create more outstanding works that meet the people's cultural needs and enhance the spiritual power of the people. Just like "Life Love" and "Blessings" and other golden songs such as the people who feel the pulse and life of life with the people, sing and sing the people's thoughts, and cause strong resonance; The works are attracted, infected, moved, and brought unlimited energy to people. For listeners, whether they are in love, sorrow, acacia, inspirational, and healing, they can find appropriate expression from Hong Kong music, get aesthetic nourishment, and become more full in spiritual life. These experience reveals that the new era music creators. Only by deeply rooting the people, understanding the hard work of the people, and perceiving the people's joy and sorrow can they understand the essence of life, can grasp the pulse of the times, understand the voice of the people, and make the works have deep power. The third is to adhere to the innovation, root the profound Chinese civilization, tap the ideological concepts, humanistic spirit, and moral norms of Chinese excellent traditional culture, integrate artistic creativity and Chinese culture value, and combine the pursuit of the spirit of Chinese aesthetics with contemporary aesthetic pursuit. Correct use of new technologies and new methods to activate Chinese cultural vitality. Just like "A Laughs in the Sea", the author searches inspiration from the ancient "Lezhi", and uses the Chinese five voice stairs to write moving the melody. It constitutes national cultural memory. The excellent traditional Chinese culture is always the cornerstone and source of music creation. Among them, the nutrition is inexhaustible, and music creators need to be continuously excavated and explored.
