Gufeng music

[4] The lyrics of Gufeng music are created mainly based on ancient Chinese mythological legends and verses.

In recent years, this kind of songs are often used in Xianxia, Wuxia games, anime, dramas, etc.

[5][6] This kind of music has also become popular among Internet cultures such as Hanfu movement.

[7] Gufeng music was usually called Xianxia music (仙侠; xianxia being a genre of Chinese fiction that is similar to wuxia, but with more mythological elements), and what now seems like a movement began rather quietly in 2005, calling for netizens to write lyrics with ancient-styled poems for the music in some popular PC games, including The Legend of Sword and Fairy and Fairy and Sword of Xuanyuan.

The name seems to derive from the namesake lyricist column on Fenbei, and the basic concept of Chinoiserie music, a term which describes Western approximations of Chinese music.
