Work on Chinese music


Liu was a noted erhu and pipa player, and an early pioneer in the modernisation of traditional Chinese music. He joined Cai Yuanpei's Peking University Music Society as an instrumental instructor in 1922. He promoted Chinese music while he was at Peking University, founded the Society for the Improvement of Chinese Music (國樂改進社, Guóyuè Gǎijìnshè) in 1927 and its periodical, the Music Magazine (音樂雜誌, Yīnyuè Zázhì). The society organised classes and formed a musical ensemble to play Chinese music, a forerunner of the modern Chinese orchestra. He made improvements to the traditional fiddle huqin, in particular the erhu, so that it can become an instrument suitable for a modern stage performance, and wrote music for the instrument.[3] He also made changes to the pipa, increasing the number of frets and used an equal-tempered tuning.

  5. 「虛籟」含義到底為何？: “「虛」是「空虛」、「虛無」的意思，「籟」原是古代的一種簫，因為簫的聲音是從孔穴裡發出來的，又引申為從孔穴裡發出聲音，後來人們把籟泛指為聲音，「虛籟」是指沒有聲音，或是空虛的聲音。” (Xū means empty and Lài is a classical instrument that is now generalized to mean "sound." Xū Lài therefore means "no sound" or "the sound of emptiness".)
