When composing, Lin Hai specially asked the performer Jiang Yan to play the various timbres that the pipa may make, and got a lot of inspiration from it. Lin Hai used various possible ways to express the pipa. He used the composition and arrangement techniques of world music and classical music to mix Western instruments such as piano, guitar and bass, and traditional Chinese instruments such as flute, xiao, erhu and sanxian. Added ethnic singing and Mongolian, Tibetan, African and other ethnic minority elements.
