Uliger, which means "storytelling" in Chinese, is a traditional form of Mongolian folk art performed in Mongolian, which appeared around the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Folk artists who perform Uliger, usually using a combination of reciting, singing and instrumental accompaniment, are able to vividly play multiple roles at the same time. Wuliger's classic plays, mostly based on Mongolian folklore, real events, or Han literature stories from the Central Plains, have a strong flavor of grassland life, and are very popular with herdsmen.

This piece is composed of seven special tunes by Hulen Uliger, a popular storytelling art in Horqin region. The titles of these seven tunes are "Outline Jian", "Opening Tone", "March Tone I", "March Tone II", "Landscape Praise", "Homesickness Tone", and "Ending Tone". Different folk artists perform Hulen Uliger, sometimes using these tunes in different ways. The wooden fish plays a steady rhythm, the thick and round four Hu, and the clear and graceful Mongolian flute together play a melodious melody, bringing people into the picture composed of the vast field and the high sky, listening to the moving stories handed down from generation to generation.
