The creation of symphonic music in China began in the 192s. Huang Zi (194-1938) became the founder of Chinese symphony creation with his symphonic overtures Nostalgia and Fantasia of Urban Scenery.

Xian Xinghai, a people's musician, has made outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese symphony creation with his works with distinctive national style and blazing patriotism.

Extended information:

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China and before the Cultural Revolution, a large number of young and middle-aged musicians trained by the Party have created a large number of symphony works together with their predecessors, including Wang Yunjie's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Symphony, Ding Shande's Long March Symphony, Luo Zhongming's Second Symphony, and so on.

after the cultural revolution, symphonic music creation has fully recovered, and a large number of young composers have emerged one after another. On the one hand, they adhere to the nationalization direction of symphony creation, and at the same time, with the tide of reform and opening up and concept renewal, they boldly absorb and learn from the writing skills of western symphony creation, including modern symphony creation, and write a number of symphonic music works with high artistic standards, such as Zhang Qianyi's "Northern Forest" and Liu Dunnan's "Mountain Forest".
