Farewell music, as the name suggests, is music played to welcome and send off distinguished guests. Su Na, this unique wind instrument has a broad and clear sound, especially bright. The deafening roar seems to tell everyone that the wise old man has arrived and should be greeted with respect. Subsequently, the Dama drum, commonly used in palace singing, dancing, or ceremonial activities, sounded with a loud and solid sound, adding a sense of solemnity to the music. Every line of music played by Su Na is particularly long and continuous, with almost no interruption except for necessary breathing, like the incessant recitation of a wise person, ancient and weathered yet peaceful and devout. His face covered in wind and frost, without anxiety or confusion, he will use his wisdom and philosophy to lead people out of confusion. At the end of the music, Su Na still maintains its inherent tone without any tendency to weaken. This is the momentum and ceremony of welcoming the wise, as well as the unwavering spirit of the wise.
