'Lü Wencheng' (吕文成,
pinyin: Lǚ Wénchéng) (1898-1981) was a Chinese composer and musician. He is considered to have been a master of
Cantonese music and
Guangdong folk music. The
gaohu was developed by him in the 1920s from the
erhu by raising its pitch and using steel strings instead of silk, and changing its playing position from on the thigh to between the knees. He composed ''Autumn Moon on a Waveless Lake'' in the
1930s and it remains one of the best known works of Guangdong music.
