Composed in 1952, "Joy of Spring (Xin Chun Le)" by MAO Yuan (b. 1926) is considered to be one of the most well-known Chinese violin pieces, especially during Chinese New Year period. During the 1950s, there was a rise in popularity of Western orchestras in China, but the music they played consisted of mainly imported Western classical repertoire. The piece was partly aimed to create something original and local using Western instruments, and in this case it is based on the recomposition from a Hebei Folksong called "Mai Jiao Zi" (Selling Dumplings), which was a common practice at that time where Chinese composers take folksongs as their source material. The rhythmical opening and the sweet melody in the middle section brings about the joyful atmosphere of festivities and the anticipation of better days to come. Despite its innocently straightforward structure, there is nevertheless still some level of expectation with regards to the violinist's technique and musicality to execute this piece well. The piano accompaniment, on the other hand, takes the role of being the icing on the cake.
于1952年创作自茅沅（1926—）的《新春乐》可说众多中国小提琴作品当中最有名的曲目之一，特别是在农历新年的期间里。上世纪50年代里中国出现了不少乐团，可是演奏的都是从外地引进来的西方古典曲目。创作这首脍炙人口的曲子的部分宗旨就是使用西方乐器创作地道的民族音乐，而中国作曲家使用民歌作为作曲题材也是当时非常普遍的作曲方式，其中改编自河北民歌《卖饺子》的《新春乐》也不例外。曲子轻快的开场以及中部甜丝丝的旋律承载着佳节庆典浓浓的喜气以及对好日子来临的憧憬。这首曲子固然有个相对之下属于开门见山的结构，但对小提琴手来说，想把这首曲子来个精湛的演绎，技术与乐感方面还是有一定的要求；而对钢琴伴奏而言，其部分更担起了成为曲子点缀的任务。
