Abstract

This research will concentrate on the evolution of Zhuang-style piano music in China, beginning with a work created by Jin Xiang in 1962 and continuing up to the current day. This year, according to the Chinese calendar, is the year 2022. Over the course of the past 60 years, music that was influenced by Chinese folk instruments has progressed through a variety of stages. There are just a handful of studies of music for Chinese-style piano that concentrate on a single piece or a series of pieces for comparison at this point in time. A literature review is used to describe the musical characteristics of Chinese Zhuang style piano works in this article. Among other approaches, ethnomusicology and music aesthetics are two of the methods that are utilized to do so.
