ABSTRACT

Nationalism is an ideology that has emerged in modern times. James Clifford categorizes nationalism into four stages. This article correlates Clifford's four stages of nationalism with four periods in Chinese popular music history: the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic years, the May Fourth Movement period, the period from the "September 18 Incident" to the end of the Anti-Japanese War and the beginning of the Liberation War, and the period from the founding of the nation to the present day. It explores the different ideologies manifested in Chinese popular music during these four periods, as well as the Chinese nation's pursuit of independence, strength, unity, and development.
