Abstract

Country music was formed in the countryside of southern America in the early 20th century. The ancient English folk songs, dance music and instrumental music are important sources of it. Black music, Latin music and music from other European regions also have enormous influences on it. At the same time, we can also find the concord and music structure in religious hymns in country music. Country music centralizes the quintessence of folk music of the white people. After a century of development, it gradually integrates into the modern industrial society and becomes an important part of popular music.
