Influence and Reference—Taking the Song Horse Racing as an Example, the Comparison Between Han Erhu and Mongolian Matouqin

Abstract

Different geographical locations and different civilizations constitute different musical development. Erhu and matouqin are both stringed instruments. The two musical instruments have similarities not only in appearance, but also in timbre. Just take the song Horse Racing as an example. This work was originally created for the erhu, but with its unique style and realistic skills, it has attracted more and more composers and performers to transplant for other musical instruments. Influence and reference to the erhu and matouqin versions. To develop folk music, we must adhere to cultural self-confidence and national self-confidence.
