Abstract
This chapter investigates how music acts performed at China Central Television's (CCTV) annual variety show, Chunwan, are used as an ideological package for political communications in China. The authors argue that the Communist Party of China uses songs as the medium for the grand narrative of a shared identity. Chunwan, this televised event, helps construct an imagined community of mainlanders of different social backgrounds, Chinese from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and overseas Chinese. Music, disseminated via China's national TV broadcaster, serves as an ideological state apparatus that consolidates the legitimacy of the Party.
