Qu Wenjun, male, was born in Beijing in 1959. He was admitted to Shaanxi art school in 1972. He worked in Shaanxi Yangxian opera troupe from 1975 to 1977. He was admitted to Xi'an Conservatory of music for a bachelor's degree in 1978 and studied with Professor Zhang Dihua. He graduated in 1982 and stayed in school to teach. In 1986, he was admitted to the Central Conservatory of music for postgraduate study and studied under Professor Lin Shicheng. After graduation, he became a lute lecturer in Xi'an Conservatory of music. In 1992, he was transferred to the Southern Song and dance troupe of Guangdong Province as a lute soloist. Since 1981, he has won many awards in international and domestic Pipa competitions and domestic works competitions. He has solid basic skills in his right hand and is better at dealing with the rhyme of his left hand. he is now the director of China Pipa Research Association, member of China Musicians Association and member of China National Orchestra Association. As early as the end of 1970s and the beginning of 1980s, influenced by the phonology of Chinese folk operas, especially in Northwest China, Qu Wenjun started his new exploration in performance and theory by combining the phonology of Rongsheng tune, Xianban and chuguan with the traditional techniques of pipa. After unremitting efforts, Pipa has finally presented a distinctive style of phonology, formed a complete set of line rhyme expression skills, and thus produced a large number of new Pipa works. Some of his works, such as Qinchuan lyric, xiaosuoqiuxi, yudiao, Qinfu and yafangyuan, have been included in the collection of Pipa music, published by the Chinese people's music publishing house and listed as Pipa teaching materials for colleges and universities at home and abroad. Some of his works have been listed as the repertoire of some overseas Pipa competitions. In 1985 and the New Works Concert of the national Pipa education seminar of music colleges and universities in China, his Pipa works attracted high praise and attention from the pipa circle. Experts believe that his "left hand rhyme" is unique and has a breakthrough development in Pipa performance. He is praised as a performing genius in the pipa circle.
