Lü Wencheng (1898-1981) (吕文成, pinyin: Lǚ Wénchéng, or Lui Man Sing in Cantonese) 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 Quiet Lake" in the 1930s and it remains one of the best known works of Guangdong music.
