The creative concepts and foundation of many famous composer, such as Liszt, Chopin, and many other international piano masters, derives from the deep observation of life, and are mostly drawn its materials from folk music. Classic music always comes from life. The creation must be based on the living realizations, which is the maturing system of creation found out by numerous international pianists in the process of long-term practice. When these international works were introduced into China, local musicians have not only learnt and imitated them, but also played an important role in promoting these outstanding works.In terms of music, we wish to gradually establish the Chinese piano music creation system according to our own reality. Simple imitation and learning is not enough. We must absorb the essence of our folk music and integrate the Chinese musical culture with Western piano works. This is the only way for Chinese piano composers to create our own popular music works and popularize Chinese piano music in the world.Compared with foreign mature compositions, Chinese piano music works have a significant gap on quantity and influences. However, as a nation with long history and glary cultural, we have reason to believe that we can create and popularize our nationality characteristic piano music by combining Chinese excellent folk music with modern piano art.As a beginner who’s just entered the palace of music, I know well about my shortcomings in theory or practice. But with the great love of music, I still choose the subject of Liu Sanjie Fantasia to discuss the music theory, attempting to express my own understanding and love of national music. It is generally known that Liu Sanjie is honored as China’s folk ancestors. As the queen of song during that period, Liu Sanjie was hugely influential in Chinese music history and has a respected position in the China women’s heart. The image of Liu Sanjie is indeed outstanding.In the long-term process of circulation, Liu Sanjie phenomenon has gradually become a special culture, which is a very precious wealth in our national culture. Under the influence of "Liu Sanjie Culture", Mr Cai Shixian, the professor from Guangxi Arts College, wrote Liu Sanjie Fantasia according to the adaptation of folklore and documentation. This creation undoubtedly promotes the development of Chinese national music and enriches the varieties of Chinese piano music. It provides more choices for the Chinese pianists. This work not only presents the original ecological folk song, but also displays the strong national colors in front of the audiences.The birth of Liu Sanjie Fantasia undoubtedly opened a new situation of Chinese national music. Unfortunately, the existing studies of it are incomplete and there are just few documentations. However, even the shallow discussion will exert a powerful influence over Chinese piano music. By analyzing Liu Sanjie Fantasia, I hope to explore the innovation of Chinese folk music and the creation of piano works with music lovers.
