The "Guqin", "Pipa" and "Kunqu" groups in this community can be regarded as the source of Peking University Folk Orchestra. 19 19 Wang Lu, a famous musician in China, was hired as the tutor of Peking University Music Research Association to teach pipa and guqin. The tutor of Kunqu Opera Troupe is Wu Mei, a famous scholar, drama theorist and writer.
? 1922 In August, upon Xiao's proposal, Peking University Conservatory of Music was reorganized into Peking University Conservatory of Music, with Cai Yuanpei as its dean. The brochure of the college puts forward that "the aim is to cultivate talents in music research, while learning western music, to preserve and carry forward China's ancient music." It was at this time that Liu Tianhua, the master, was invited as a pipa tutor and brought the national musical instrument Erhu into the halls of colleges and universities for the first time. ?

Peking University then integrated resources and reorganized the folk orchestra. The early instructors of the orchestra were Wang, Cao Wengong and so on.
