He felt that the range of instruments used in Guangdong music at that time was not wide enough, which affected the performance effect. Therefore, he introduced western violins and created a unique playing method of "Guangdong Violin", which changed the fixed string GDAE of the violin to the fixed string FCGD; of Guangdong strings. In the playing method, it absorbed the fingering, kneading and bowing of the ancient Guangdong Erxian, and formed a unique violin playing skill. He became one of the important figures who played the violin in Cantonese music in the early days.
In 9 years of the Republic of China, he was invited to perform in New Zealand.

At that time, many record companies invited him to record more than 12 records, which made Yuele a household name at home and abroad and was once called "national music".
