Later, after years of training, during his career, Ding Chengyun gradually infiltrated the profound spirit of China culture into the piano through in-depth study and understanding of China culture, and formed his unique style. The sound is heavy and ancient, such as cotton wrapped in iron; Fingers are like flowing clouds, lifting weights as easily as possible; The piano sound is elegant and the weather is high; The handling of piano music is not trivial, but ingenious and innovative. In today's world-wide atmosphere of advocating performance and skills, his piano playing style is more simple and elegant, unique, permeated with fresh cultural atmosphere, showing the charm and wisdom of creative inheritance. While adhering to the tradition, he did not rest on his laurels, but pursued tirelessly, constantly understanding and interpreting ancient music and pushing it to a new realm and height. This is what he always said: to display the cultural spirit of China with guqin.

There is a saying in the Book of Songs: wives like to get along with each other, like a piano. It can be said that the guqin is inseparable from the piano, and the piano is inseparable from the piano. However, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, ancient instruments have become court decorations, and "Qin Qin Ming" has been lost. In 2000, based on the ancient musical instruments unearthed from several ancient tombs, Ding Chengyun successfully restored this ancient musical instrument that had been lost for nearly a thousand years. His wife, Fu Lina, is also a professor at Wuhan Conservatory of Music. She has been engaged in music education in China for a long time and has taken the initiative to play the piano. They often learn from each other. Professor Ding Chengyun's reappearance of the guqin and his exploration of its playing methods, coupled with his wife's delicate interpretation of the guqin, made it possible to "be friends with the harp", and their ensemble became a real "harmony between the harp and the harp", which was once a much-told story in the piano industry. The husband and wife have held piano and harp concerts in the United States, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong, China and other places for many times, and each time there was a "hurricane of learning the piano".

Ding Chengyun said that his family has lived in Kaifeng for three generations: since his grandfather opened a knitting workshop in Kaifeng, his father Ding Yuyu graduated from Henan University, and then studied in Britain and became a professor at Henan University. Ding Chengyun finished high school in Kaifeng and returned to Henan University to teach for 30 years after graduating from college. He grew up in Kaifeng and spent the first half of his life in Kaifeng. His wife Fu Lina is also from Kaifeng. She used to be an associate professor in the Conservatory of Music of Henan University, and transferred to Wuhan Conservatory of Music on 200 1, so they have deep feelings for Kaifeng. He often calls himself Yimen pianist or Yimen layman in his works, but he never forgets that he is from Kaifeng. He said that he would go back to Kaifeng almost once a year to see the ever-changing face of his hometown and visit the teachers, friends and villagers who raised him and cared about him.
