Zhang Xiaofeng is a well-known Chinese musician and composer. He performed as a yangqin soloist in the Shanghai Opera House and switched tracks to be a full-time composer since 1970. In the 1970s, he created works A Salesman Comes to the Village and Song of the Stockade Near the Border that were immensely popular till today. His later works such as The Songs of Pipa and The Newly-Weds’ Parting were given the epithet The Tang Poetry of Music. Zhang’s erhu concertos The Songs of Lige, Yang Guifei, The Love of Xi Shi, and Snow in June received raving reviews when they premiered in Singapore. Zhang’s exploration, systematisation, arrangement, and publication of Jiangnan Sizhu art have undoubtedly played a key role in the official inclusion of this art form in China’s intangible cultural heritage.
