Historical evolution:

In the 192s and 193s, Guangdong music flourished, and many professional composers and performers appeared, such as Liu Tang, Lv Wencheng, Yi Jianquan and Yin Ziwei.

In about 1926, influenced by the bamboo and silk in the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Wencheng introduced the erhu to Hong Kong and Macao, and changed to steel strings, moving the strings higher and setting the tone higher, thus creating a crisp and bright Yuehu (also known as gaohu). Later, he joined the dulcimer and Qin Qin, and played gaohu as the main instrument, which was called "three-piece head" and "soft bow".

Later, on the basis of the "Three Pieces", the band was further expanded, and it was finalized around 193. The representative tracks of this period were He Liutang's Sailong Won the Golden Jubilee, Birds Surprised, Drunken Man Fishing for the Moon and Bi Xing Accompanied the Moon. Lv Wencheng's Bubugao, Autumn Moon in Pinghu, Wake up the Lion, Qishan Wind and Jiao Shiming Qin;

Yin Ziwei's Hero of Hua Qi and Yi Jianquan's Birds in the Woods, etc. From the early 192s to 1949, there were as many as 3 pieces of Guangdong music, of which about 5 pieces are still popular at home and abroad. There is a saying in the world that "wherever there are overseas Chinese, there is a Guangdong music bosom friend".

Since 195s, Guangdong music has been greatly developed. Musicians have collected and arranged Guangdong music, and carried out research and reform on the harmony and orchestration of Guangdong music. They have published a lot of music scores and created and performed a large number of excellent tracks, such as Chen Deju's Test Horse in the Spring Suburb, Lin Yun's Spring in the Field, Liu Tianyi's Fish Swimming in Spring Water and Fei Qiao's.
