受到许多其他国家作曲家的影响，萧友梅、黄自等作曲家主张利用中国民歌这一丰富的资源，结合西方音乐创作手法，创立“国民乐派”。数十年来，将民歌融入新作品已成为中国作曲家界定其音乐为“中国音乐”的重要手段之一。在文章中，我将简要探讨是什么动机激发了作曲家去追寻民族音乐，并分析贺绿汀、马思聪、江文也、朱践耳和贾国平等人的音乐作品片段，重点关注他们在音乐创作中如何融入民歌和中国传统音乐元素。

Influenced by composers in many other countries,Chinese composers such as XIAO Youmei and HUANG Zi advocated to establish the national music school(国民乐派)by utilizing the rich resource of Chinese folk songs and combining them with Western compositional techniques.Since then,for many decades,the inclusion of folk music into new works became one of the primary means by which Chinese composers defined their music as “Chinese Style."In this article I will briefly explore what motivated composers to search for a national music and analyze excerpts of music works by HE Lüting, MA Sicong, JIANG Wenye, ZHU Jian'er, and JIA Guoping, focusing on the ways they have incorporated folk songs and traditional Chinese musical elements in their music works.
