This is a classic one:

That's from Once Upon A Time in China, one of the best martial-arts movies ever made. Jet Li in his prime. (The second movie has a young Donnie Yen.)
For something more recent, you could try the Hero soundtrack. That movie's about an assassination attempt on Qin Shihuang's life.
The last one is from the Storm Riders. This is a fantasy wuxia story, but the opening song (And gloriously bad 90s CGI) is a personal favorite.
Hunter Brown
Electric shamisen is amazing. Not quite Chinese I guess, but Asian as all get out.

Dominic Wright
Jade Empire OST has everything you'd need then some.
Charles Powell
I really like a lot of The 12 Kingdoms soundtrack.
For example: youtube.com
Jacob Mitchell
fantastic
I know it's japanese but koto music is super comfy and oriental enough that it should work for your purposes
Brayden Fisher
Christopher Russell
Another Japanese suggestion, but should be close enough, would be anything by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Eli Green
Wu Tang Clan. Or, If you find the actual rapping distracting, the RZA.

I use this one for fights in the Avatar game I run.
Ryan Baker
Man, I need to run a Man With the Iron Fists style wuxia campaign sometime. That sounds fucking great.
As for recommendations, here's a classic. youtube.com

Also here's a cool one for more somber scenes. youtube.com
I fucking love the guzheng.
William Robinson
Shame it is unplayable now on Steam. Always wanted to play it.
Kevin Morgan
Good lord.
I've heard this insturments music hundreds, maybe thousands of times but never watched it properly played live like that. Amazing.

Honestly, Kung Fu Hustle's soundtrack plays like a greatest hits album for high energy (if short) Chinese-sounding melodies.
Cooper Gray
Imperial China and guzheng music is great and all, and very thematic, but when I think "Chinese themed campaign music" my mind goes to old martial arts movies.
youtube.com
Really any instrumental 70's funk can sell the theme.
youtube.com
Even if your campaign is set in another era, some anachronistic music can really set the right tone.

And because it hasn't been brought up....

Say what you will about AC: Chronicles: China but I'll be damned if the soundtrack isn't anything but super well done. Assassin's Creed games always tend to have really good soundtracks and this sure ain't an exception
Christopher Anderson
She's a confirmed cute, and hearing a thematically appropriate cover of a modern song Westworld style could be pretty cool if it were used sparingly.

>fantasy Imperial China setting
>70's martial arts movie funk music

How can you go wrong with this?
Nathan Howard
that movie was so stupid but I liked it
Nicholas White
Shamison music even thou shamison is Japanese. It's decent on the ears. Usually paired with Pan Flute which is Chinese primarily
Nicholas Moore
It hurts me that no one has mentioned this already:
youtube.com
Man that gives me the feels.
Lincoln Ortiz
Aah this song. It's also used here
youtube.com
and here

According to the composer of the Heroes 4 OST it is a 500 year old melody which is often used for "pirate" themes.
Evan Collins
Great game with a mediocre successor that had nothing to do with the original :(
Jonathan Scott
>Japanese for a Chinese setting
That's like someone asking for Roman Empire music and play a track of hooting Visigoths on drums
