Abstract
The paper focuses on China's original piano music in the early 20th century, and through an analysis of several musical compositions, it tries to define the aesthetic features in this period as the combination of the composition techniques from the West, modernized rendition of Chinese traditional and classical music, and appropriation of the foreign repertoire. Under the guidelines of coming from practice and into practice, the musicians composed a big repertoire of music with reality concerns. Over the past fifty years, the change of aesthetic sensibilities charts the development of the modernity of Chinese aesthetics, and the tracing of the change will provide illuminations to the current construction of our culture.
