After the Chinese Revolution of 1949, the government promoted revolutionary and socialist music that aimed to inspire patriotism and support for the Communist Party. This included the creation of new compositions, such as "The East is Red," which celebrated the ideals of socialism and the leadership of Mao Zedong. Traditional forms of music were often reinterpreted to align with state ideology, while Western influences were largely discouraged. The period also saw the rise of "model operas" and other forms of performance art that combined music, dance, and drama to convey political messages.
