Before 2015, Chinese music rarely appeared on the stage of commercial performances, and the market was more likely to accept lively and fashionable guitars, drums, pianos, etc., and guzheng was occasionally interspersed as a foil.

Although it is a "post-90s", for Xia Xuanruo, who has been teaching Guzheng, this is undoubtedly very distressing. "Such a classic thing can't decline!" She worries about the development of national music all the time.

In 2018, with the rise and popularity of Chinese style, new Chinese style, and Chinese light luxury style in all walks of life, commercial performances have gradually focused on the performance of national musical instruments. Aiming at this opportunity, Xia Xuanruo resolutely "stubbornly" quit her job despite the strong opposition of her family, and established the "Qinghe National Music Girls Band" with her friends.

Always cherish every opportunity to be on stage

"Qinghe National Music Girls' Music Square" debuted in Neijiang, Sichuan. In the past two years, Xia Xuanruo has led the members of the band to actively participate in various public welfare performances, going to the countryside to perform, sometimes raising donations for seriously ill children, and even participating in the Spring Festival Gala in her hometown... It can be said that wherever there is a need for Chinese music performances, there will be This group of "post-90s" women appeared.

Xia Xuanruo said that at the beginning of the establishment of Lefang, it was still very hard. In order to make the performance more attractive, they usually need to wear Hanfu and ancient makeup. It takes about two hours each time before going out. They bring their own musical instruments and props, and sometimes play the role of drivers.

Although Chinese music is gradually entering people's field of vision, in the eyes of some people, Chinese music is very "mother" and "earth". Xia Xuanruo's younger brother was ridiculed by his classmates for learning the guzheng. Guzheng musician Luo Pengli once played the famous Guzheng song "Dancing of the Golden Snake" in a Spring Festival performance, which was ridiculed by the audience for being too earthy and unpleasant, and had to change to a pop music before it was accepted.

Xia Xuanruo said that the members of the band basically grew up under the influence of the "Twelve Women's Band". Although the "Twelve Women's Band" has faded out of the stage in recent years, and it has also been controversial, she has always believed in it. , Chinese traditional national instrumental music and musical elements are classics, which are worthy of inheritance and promotion. She hoped that the "Qinghe National Music Girls' Music Square" could go out of Sichuan and embark on a bigger, wider and higher stage, and inherit and carry forward Chinese music within the scope of her ability.
