This study aims to review the definition, development, current state, challenges, and future trends of music television talent shows in China, thereby enhancing producers' creative abilities. Chinese music television talent shows have undergone three developmental stages, with their content reflecting the background and social culture of China's entertainment television programming. With the rapid economic growth, television stations have increased their investment in music talent shows to strengthen their audience base, while online platforms have also provided new viewing channels for these programs. As a result, Chinese music television talent shows have become an important window for domestic and international audiences to understand China’s history, culture, and traditions, presenting a multidimensional and comprehensive image of China to the world.
