The piano, which originated in Europe, is the crystallization of Western musical civilization and is known as the king of musical instruments. After hundreds of years of development, it has developed a relatively complete system of creation, performance and teaching. In this process, it can be seen that there are many piano music works with the unique style and charm of traditional Chinese thoughts, using the method of Chinese folk music and the melody with Chinese characteristics. The combination of traditional thoughts and piano demonstrates a unique charm of Chinese music, with strong cultural heritage and artistic appeal. Therefore, piano music works, infiltrated into traditional Chinese thoughts, are not only a China’s treasure, but also an indispensable element in Chinese piano performance and education. The purpose of this article is to deeply understand and reflect on piano music works in traditional Chinese culture, explore the uniqueness and charm of Chinese piano music works, and understand the embodiment of traditional Chinese thoughts in piano music creation, thus exploring the uniqueness and innovation of Chinese piano music creation, providing reference and support for promoting the development of Chinese piano music works.
