The first symphonic version of the pipa concerto "Sparking the prairie" was performed by Wu Yuxia, with the pipa lead as the "lead", depicting the unstoppable faith and vitality like flames. Yang Tingting's pipa concerto "Pipa Xing" and Jiang Yang's pipa concerto "Late Autumn" are full of emotion and shock, while Zhao Cong's pipa music "Flying on the Silk Road" is elegant and dynamic.
