The music adopts the changes and repetitions of the basic tune, and the rhythm pattern of the first two bars runs through the whole piece. In addition, the first, second, and third paragraphs have two-bar fixed terminations. At the end of the music, there is a text prompt of "The Immortal Spit Wine". A series of homophonic repetitions played by the "Long Lock" fingering makes the music flow like notes, as if full of anger, expressing the artistic conception of drunkenness and madness in appearance and hatred in the heart. It is a rare and excellent Guqin piece. This video is taught by performer Dai Xiaolian on Guqin.
