The city\u2019s nocturnal world is, after all, still a relatively blank canvas. Due to the strict policies enforced by the Cultural Revolution of Mao Zedong in the \u201860s and \u201870s, certain musical genres and instruments were fiercely regulated for decades; following Mao\u2019s death in 1976, the country entered a new era of modernity and accelerated economic progress, but there was still no popular nightlife in China until the \u201990s.<\/p>\n<h5>The underground club scene, as a result, is still in its infancy.
