Scientific novelty. An attempt is made at defining the importance of Huang Ji’s research and creative activities – the educator of the first generation of Chinese composers who involved European traditions in their work – on the make of the genre and style and educational research foundations of the professional music culture of China in the first third of the twentieth century; the genre and style discoveries of the composer in the field of vocal and instrumental music of the Middle Kingdom (in particular, in the field of polyphony), Chinese tragic and lyrical styles in the art of music; the significance of the body of work of the scholar who laid the foundations of historical and theoretical musicology, music aesthetics and pedagogy of China. Huang Ji, as the founder of contemporary music and theoretical Chinese thought, focused extensively on the issue of the interaction of “pure” (“ideal”) and descriptive music, the links of music, and everyday life. The main task of music as “great art,” according to Huang Ji, is the creation of a “portrait of a nation and society.” Conclusions. Huang Ji is an innovator and classic of national art of music, the founder of the newest music school in China, who has laid the foundations of the professional music education of the Middle Kingdom, systematically embracing its genres. Some works of the composer still have a unique value in the history of Chinese music: if the genre basis of a Chinese artistic song is an appeal to the national poetry, then Huang Ji has laid the prospects for the development of the genre on the basis of an appeal to a foreign (English) language.
