Wang Guangqi and Xiao Yumei were the most famous persons in the
world of Chinese music, who also contributed to the development of the
traditional Chinese music. These musicians and theorists thought about
the original path of Chinese musical culture, as well as about the features
of its interaction with Western musical tradition in the fi rst half of the 20th
century. Wang Guangqi and Xiao Yumei had a broad Chinese and Western
scientifi c knowledge and an open mind, they were aware of their historic
mission to create the “state music” of China. This paper is an introduction
to studying the creative and theoretical concepts of two artists in order to
identify similarities and differences in their approaches and ideas.
