Many pieces composed since the 1950s have used newer techniques and also mix elements from both northern and southern styles, ultimately creating a new modern school.<ref name=":02"/> Examples of modern songs include "Spring on Snowy Mountain" (''Xue Shan Chun Xiao'') by Fan Shang E, and "Fighting the Typhoon" (''Zhan Tai Feng'') by [[Wang Changyuan]].<ref name=":02"/>

Newer techniques (especially since the 1950s) have included playing [[harmony]] and [[counterpoint]] with the left hand.<ref name=":13"/>

Experimental, [[atonal]] pieces have been composed since the 1980s. For example, "Ming Mountain" (''Ming Shan'') and "Gloomy Fragrance" (''An Xiang'') are contemporary songs that do not use the traditional pentatonic scale.<ref name=":02"/><ref name=":22"/>
