How does the violin piece "Butterfly Lovers" combine Chinese and Western elements?

Well, first of all, the author spent a lot of effort in selecting the theme for the presentation of this piece. At that time, they were students in the Composition Department of Shanghai Conservatory of Music. He Zhanhao once worked as an actor in the Hangzhou Yue Opera Troupe. He is familiar with and loves Yue Opera music. When writing "Butterfly Lovers", the story was popular in Zhejiang. Yue Opera is Zhejiang's representative opera. He was determined to draw materials from Yue Opera music. According to daily observation, many famous Yue Opera actors, no matter what kind of repertoire they perform, as long as they sing a aria, they will receive warm applause from the audience. The author captured this singing tune as the basic tone of the "love theme" in "Butterfly Lovers". This theme is the core tone of the whole song. Then, the musical instruments in the music include foreign orchestras and horns, as well as Chinese gongs and drums.

Moreover, the end of the song also borrows the expression technique of Peking Opera - singing three lines, often dragging out one note for a long time, which has a Beijing flavor~~~ The author is a person of the new era, so I can learn from it. There are many, but they are all perfect~~~~
