Features: Many works have been conducted on various aspects of the historical background of modern Chinese music development, the lives and artistic achievements of composers, and some theoretical issues related to music composition. However, systematic exploration from the perspective of compositional techniques is relatively scarce. Music is an art with strong technical characteristics. Since Western professional compositional techniques were introduced into China in the 20th century, new forms of musical composition have emerged in China. Over nearly a century, professional compositional techniques have developed significantly. This book aims to focus on this issue. Only when absolutely necessary will it touch upon historical backgrounds, composers' lives, and other related topics. This book takes professional compositional techniques as its focus, emphasizing the elucidation of certain issues through specific analysis of works rather than providing a clear and concise summary of various topics. The content is generally divided into historical periods.
