Ballade (1998)
for pipa (Chinese lute) and string quartet
The musical material is based primarily on the superposition of the intervals of fourths, second major and fifth, like the tuning of the pipa in A, D, E, A. The string quartet imitates the pipa in its play and thus creates an ambiance that intermingles two types of instruments.

Moving Ants (2006)
for four pipas
The theme is derived from a children's song sung in my hometown of Shuiji, which I sang over and over again when I was a little child and had so much fun watching the ants busily moving around. The four different layers constitute a complex texture, moving at four different speeds. The sound of the music is endowed with sound density and tension, great vibrancy and exuberant feelings in the tightened harmony of the 1/6 tones, an endless flowing of rhythms and variety of forces.

The Sound Shining (2009-2010)
for erhu and ensemble (erhu, fl, cl, ob, tbn, perc, pf, 2v, va, vc)
Sun Wenming (1928-1962) was a blind but great Chinese folk erhu player and Avant-garde composer, whose playing techniques and cutting edge ideas in timber can hardly be matched even in the modern times and whose composition based on the harmonic series was fully 20 years earlier than the Spectral Music in France.
His erhu Solo The Double Erhu Sounding is quoted in this piece as its second theme while its pitch materials derive from its erhu tuning tones of G and D and their harmonic series and distortions.

The Tender Language of Wu (2011)
for guqin, pre-recorded tape and string quartet
Commissioned by the Guqin player Ms. Dai Xiaolian, I composed "The Tender Language of Wu" for guqin, pre-recorded tape and string quartet. The tape recording was completed with the help from Suzhou native students Li Mingyue, Zhou Heqing, Lu Wenyi and Gu Yunyu from the Musicology Department of Shanghai Conservatory of Music and Zhang Shichao from the Composition Department of the same school.

Suzhou dialect is often considered to be soft, light, and flowing, therefore given a good name Wu nong ruan yu , which literally means "The Tender Language of Wu". Guqin and western string instruments are both characteristic of gentleness and elegance. I had intended to create a dialogue between these different factors by integrating the ancient Chinese and western string instruments with the tender language of Wu and modern digital audio technology.
