"Zhongtang Repertoire" is the main repertoire used by Zhihua Temple Music during the day, which is linked by seven or eight Qupai, and "Cool" is the main repertoire used by "Fangyankou" in the evening, which is composed of more than ten Qupai.

This "Haiqing take the Swan" is the body of the "Steep Song", in the song, the first song is called "beat", followed by "body" and "tail". It itself is also a small court music set composed of six pieces of "Drunken Peace", "Qingshan Pass", "Water Duck Er", "Big Attack", "Haiqing Fang" and "Taking Swan", which originated from the court music of the Yuan Dynasty. Yuan Dynasty Yang Yunfu in Luanjing miscellaneous Chant, there is a "pop-up swan to avoid the sea green" poem. Mongolian aristocrats have always had the habit of raising sea green to catch swans, and this song is the restoration of the hunting scene.

A series of drums excited, encouraging people, one should blow the pipe, stepping on the beat of the drum, blowing like a horn, as if the banners in the long wind of the grassland hunting. In the bright and fierce melody, the sheng, guan, and flute are corresponding high and low, and the upper and lower phrases form ups and downs and scattered tensions between each other, as if Hai Dongqing and the swan are chasing and fighting, and the repeating phrases are like the scene of flapping wings, while the short and orderly Qingyue flute sounds are like the birds' cries. As the rhythm quickens, the accent intensifies and the cloud gong is added more frequently, the atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger until the swan is finally captured.
