He teaches at the Central Conservatory of Music, where he serves as Assistant President[3] and vice dean of the composition department.

This project consisted of Ye composing a piece, Datura, and sending its fragments as they were completed to Chicago, electronically.

They were subsequently read by ACM's performance ensemble and posted to the Internet for Ye's approval.

The project culminated with Ye traveling to the United States for the completed work's premiere performance.

The Great Wall Symphony (2002) consists of nine movements, with vocal parts and traditional Chinese musical instruments and folk tunes are used in it.
