Character experience

Wang Lu studied Yushan school's Qin music from Wang Xinyuan for three years, and then devoted himself to studying Jinling school's Qin music, which Wang Lengquan passed on. Therefore, his Qin skill has both the exquisite fingering of Jinling school and the ancient and light sound of Yushan school. Later, he learned from Tianjin's "Baiyun Taoist" the playing skills of the northern school pipa, and made innovations in the techniques of the northern school pipa, such as playing instead of hook, rubbing instead of shaking, and dividing generations to make up for the shortcomings of the northern school's playing skills. Wang Lu's "ambush on all sides" is the most famous. In order to learn western music, he went to Japan to study in the late Qing Dynasty.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the "deyinqin society" was organized by Daming Lake in Jinan.

In 1919, he was invited by Cai Yuanpei, President of Peking University, to be the national music tutor of Peking University Music Research Association, and the deyinqin club also moved to Beijing.
