Qiao jian Zhong, as a national music scholar, pointed out: “the formation of any art genre is not by one or two people or one or two works, it must have a ‘inheritance belt’ composed of several generations of artists, and it must have a series of representative repertoire and the techniques and styles formed from it.”
