Liu Tianhua taught at the Music Research Association of Peking University. For the first time, he brought the erhu and pipa into the art hall of Chinese higher education. Through his own creation, performance and teaching, he opened a new path for the development of Chinese national instrumental music, and has become a leader in the development of national instrumental music for a century. compass. Liu Tianhua's musical attainments and talents can be said to have learned from both China and the West. He studied under Shen Zhaozhou, the representative of the Chongming School of Pipa, and learned and mastered the performance of the full set of pipa scores of "Yingzhou Ancient Melody". He is an important inheritor of traditional folk music; Novo was rated as the best violin player in Beijing and Shanghai at that time; Liu Tianhua composed ten erhu pieces, each with its own unique style, and each piece is an irreplaceable classic handed down among Chinese erhu art works. His artistic achievements of erhu creation have inspired future generations, and the classics will be handed down forever; Liu Tianhua, entrusted by Mr. Mei Lanfang, pioneered the use of two notation methods, stave and tube chromatography, and recorded Mei Lanfang's singing in detail by means of dictation and notation. , published "Mei Lanfang's Songs" specially provided to the Western world for Mr. Mei's performance in the United States, and became an important promoter of Chinese opera going to the world and helping Mei Lanfang to perform in the United States. The diplomatic envoys and friends of various countries in Beijing held special concerts, and was highly praised by Chinese folk instrumental musicians. He was also the first Chinese bowstring to record and publish a Chinese folk instrumental record at the invitation of the internationally renowned German Gaoting Recording Company. Artistic performer.

Liu Tianhua is exposed to the bicultural reality of Chinese and Western music, transcending the limitations of the opposition between the old and the new, and reluctant to give up his own cultural heritage. He founded the Chinese Music Improvement Society. With a high-sighted attitude, he proposed that "on the one hand, we must adopt the essence of our own country, and on the other hand accommodate foreigners." The trend of Chinese and Western music, and a new path is opened in the harmony and cooperation between China and the West.” The Chinese music development proposition. After a hundred years, the practice of Chinese music has proved that this new path has become the development path of Chinese national instrumental music. Liu Tianhua's road is such a successful road that has been proven by practice.

Hundred years of inheritance, several generations of Liu Tianhua's disciples, from all over the world, have inherited from generation to generation, and have made Chinese folk music have a far-reaching influence in the world; the success of Liu Tianhua's road has profoundly influenced the Chinese national bowstring art and even the nation. The construction and development of music. As one of the descendants of Mr. Tianhua, my high school teacher, Mr. Ji Guizhen, and my university teacher, Mr. An Ruli, are both disciples of Liu Tianhua's student, Mr. Jiang Fengzhi. When I was very young, I came into contact with the repertoire of the Jiang School, and the training that Teacher Ji gave me in the high school attached to me influenced my study and aesthetics of traditional repertoire. The performance, teaching, interpretation and dissemination of Liu Tianhua's works have always played an important role in my performances and teaching activities, and I have always regarded it as an inescapable responsibility. After graduating from university, I participated in the recording of the album commemorating Liu Tianhua, which was accompanied by a symphony orchestra specially arranged by Mr. Dai Hongwei. Especially in 1995, on the centenary of Liu Tianhua's birth, I published an album of Liu Tianhua's top ten famous songs in the symphony edition and the Philharmonic female chamber music edition. Under my advocacy, running, and appealing, the event was organized by the Ministry of Culture and organized by the Chinese Musicians Association, the China National Orchestra and the Women's Philharmonic Orchestra to commemorate the centenary of Liu Tianhua's birthday. In the "Huafeng Qin Yun - Song Fei Erhu Solo Concert" launched at this event, I joined hands with my philharmonic female colleagues, and under the baton of Teacher Zheng Xiaoying, I performed Liu Tianhua's works in the form of a combination of Chinese and Western styles, which was widely received. Good reviews. After I entered the professional teaching position in 1999, I have successively published teaching films dedicated to the performance of Liu Tianhua's works, and a recording of traditional erhu works that performed Liu Tianhua's ten famous songs in a cappella form. In 2009, at the appeal of my colleagues and experts, with the attention of the central leadership and the support of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, the Liu Tianhua Abing China Folk Music Development Foundation was established, which was able to promote the inheritance and development of folk music in a wider and deeper way. On the 120th anniversary of Liu Tianhua's birth, I held a national tour concert to spread Liu Tianhua's works and musical ideas. The erhu concerto "Tian Lai Hua Yin", which Mr. Guan Naizhong chose from Mr. Tianhua's work, was performed for the first time. The music conveyed the influence of Mr. Tianhua's musical achievements on the development of later generations' music, and expressed the condolences of the younger generation to Mr. . I also continue to promote the research and exchange of Liu Tianhua's musical ideas and works dissemination through the establishment of the China Bowstring Art Festival, and put them into teaching and performance. Recently, as a Distinguished Professor of the China Conservatory of Music, I applied for the doctoral research project of "Liu Tianhua Road Research". This year's commemoration of the 90th anniversary of Mr. Liu Tianhua's death will launch a collection of small and medium-sized erhu works, and the shortlisted works will be presented on the stage of the China Bowstring Art Festival at the end of the year.

Moreover, the seeds he sowed have now become a forest. It has laid a century-old foundation for the development of Chinese national instrumental music and opened up a new development path.
