Sacrifice to the Spirit "is one of the four major pieces of Longdong Suona, and it is a specialized piece for daily life. The steady and gentle sound of the suona came from a solemn and mournful courtyard, accompanied by cries, particularly desolate and sorrowful, touching the hearts of the people, as if telling the unbreakable barrier of life and death, filled with piercing pain. In the middle of the song, the rhythm changes, the suona becomes lively, and the small gongs become more and more urgent. Then, they soar to the sky and howl, giving birth to strength from the low. After the person has passed away, he still has some wishes and some thoughts. Don't be empty and sorrowful, and he must help to achieve them one by one. Finally, a melodious melody brings everything back to tranquility, resembling fairy music, tranquility and tranquility, delicate and elegant. Perhaps, if our loved ones have gone to a better place, if there is an afterlife, we must meet again.
