Gufeng (古风, literally “ancient style”) is a modern Chinese pop-adjacent style that evokes the sound-world, imagery, and poetics of premodern China. It blends traditional instruments, pentatonic melodies, and classical literary diction with contemporary songwriting, recording, and distribution practices. Emerging largely from online communities and ACG (anime–comics–games/donghua) fandoms, Gufeng favors lyrical themes such as mountains-and-rivers landscapes, courtly romance, martial-arts chivalry, and historical fantasy. The production commonly combines guzheng, pipa, dizi, xiao, and erhu with soft pop arrangements, cinematic pads, and subtle electronic beats, resulting in a nostalgic yet fresh sound that is distinct from mainstream Mandopop.
