Li Jin-hui is a creative musician in modern history of China. In1920s, he preserves features of traditional and folk music and of modern school songs, further more, he creative a new way for children’s dance and music performance and children’s dance and music drama. All these pieces do great help to the propagandization of New Culture, aesthetic education and moral education. His pioneering work is seldom then but plays a significant role in our modern music.Li Jin-hui starts musical creation in early20century,his works are influenced by schools songs. Besides, while he learns western culture, he tries to absorb the ethnic folk culture. When confronted with the music culture division between China and western countries in that period, he sticks to the principle of "China’s music should give priority to national music with folk music be the key." All these complexity in that period facilitates his works. As a musical educator, Li Jin-hui seizes the right chances, promotes the New Culture spirit of "fraternity, democracy and science innovation" for the creation of children’s music, and helps them know the true, the good and the beautiful, which may well encourage the team spirit. This spirit is reflected in themes and artistic form. Researchers in the past lay more emphasis on the aesthetic education of Li Jin-hui’s works than on the moral education. In fact, Li Jin-hui seeks "beauty" more than beauty itself but "promote aesthetic education into morality", so that it can realize a interactivity between music education and moral education. The author hopes this kind of research can attract more attention on music education. In this way, more suggestions can be provided to the creation of contemporary children’s dance and music. Therefore, children can have their own dance and sing their songs, growing up with health and happiness.
