The violin concerto "Butterfly Lovers" was composed by Chen Gang and He He during his study in Shanghai Conservatory of Music. It was made in the winter of 1958 and premiered in Shanghai in May the following year, with Lina Yu as a violin solo.

The theme is a well-known folk story, with the tunes in Yue Opera as the material, using symphony and China folk opera music expression techniques, carefully conceiving the layout according to the plot development, and adopting sonata structure, single movement and subtitles. The main contents are "Grass Bridge Becoming sworn", "Anti-marriage between Yingtai and Taiwan" and "become a butterfly at the Grave".

The whole song of butterfly lovers is about 26 minutes. First, it narrated the love theme of butterfly lovers for five minutes, then it was a happy school life, and then it was sent to the audience for eighteen minutes. From ten minutes to the second paragraph, Zhu Yingtai went home and refused to get married. Finally, he cried. The second paragraph is about the same length as the first paragraph, about eleven minutes. The last paragraph is to become a butterfly, which is the theme reappearance.

Concerto: a large piece of music played by solo instruments and bands. Any instrument calls a concerto a solo. Such as violin concerto, piano concerto, erhu concerto and pipa concerto. Concertos are usually three movements, and there are also single movements.

1. Main theme-Accompanied by the harp, the violin played a simple and beautiful "love theme" and the scene of butterfly lovers Caoqiao becoming sworn.

2. Sub-theme-in sharp contrast to the soft and lyrical theme of the main part. Music became a lively and cheerful Rondo. Solos and bands appear alternately, describing the life scenes of Liang Zhu's students when they are studying. After this allegro, the music turns to Adagio, which is the end of the theme in minor. Under the background of string vibrato, Liang Zhu and his classmates will be separated for three years, and the music shows the attachment of Eighteen Bies and Long Ting.

3, the development department-consists of three parts, anti-marriage, balcony meeting, crying to the grave.

4. Reproduction Department: The introduction music material appears in music, which is no longer the beauty of the world, but brings us into the deified artistic conception. "Become a Butterfly" (Zhu Yingtai hit a stone tablet, the tomb burst open, and after Zhu Yingtai plunged in, a pair of butterflies flew out of the tomb), and we heard the familiar "love theme" again.

People were moved by Liang Zhu and sympathized with their fate. People are not satisfied with the tragic ending because we all look forward to a better life in the future. A pair of colorful butterflies danced and flew to the distant sky, looking for their true happiness and leaving infinite reverie for the world.
