Chinese Art Songs, a treasure integrating fine traditional Chinese culture with musical art, embody profound cultural connotations and national emotions. Taking Mr. Lu Zaiyi’s trilogy “Qiao”, “Jia” and “Pan” as the research object, this paper deeply explores their creative techniques, national characteristics and cultural connotations, and analyzes the dissemination and inheritance paths of Chinese Art Songs in the context of globalization in combination with the album Chinese Art Songs co-created by Shi Yijie and Chen Sa. The paper points out that Lu Zaiyi’s art songs integrate Western composing techniques with Chinese national musical language, embodying the creative feature of “the integration of Chinese and Western elements”. The national and familial feelings and national spirit contained in his works are highly consistent with the national strategy of promoting cultural confidence and self-improvement in the new era. The collaborative album by Shi Yijie and Chen Sa has successfully brought Chinese Art Songs to the international stage through exquisite interpretation and global release, demonstrating the cultural confidence and artistic charm of Chinese music. The research shows that the inheritance of Chinese Art Songs not only requires the unremitting efforts of artists but also needs to integrate them into the national education system, cultivate the cultural identity and aesthetic ability of the younger generation, and provide strong support for Chinese culture to go global.
