• It is believed that the promotional activities for a new song or album gained popularity in Taiwan, which later gradually spread to the pop entertainment circles in other Chinese regions.
• The word “打” in “打歌” can be understood as carrying out certain activities or engaging in and performing certain work.
• The Mandarin term “打歌” can also be combined with other terms to result in compound terms, such as “打歌服” (attire worn during the promotion of a new song), “打歌期” (period of promoting of a new song), and “打歌节目” (a programme to promote new songs).

At that time, folk song restaurants were fashionable entertainment spaces for youths. Folk song restaurants became important locations for overseas singers to promote and publicise new songs, as well as cultivate new singers and nurture singers and creators. (Lianhe Zaobao, 2/11/2017)
