Liu Xijun's musical style could be categorized as classical pop music, such as Deng Lijun, she owned nearly all the characters which Chinese traditional singers have had. Even though her songs still have her own features, taking "Love Garden" for instance, this song is standard pop music, depicting a tale of a girl's first love.
