Zizhu tune is a traditional minor tune widely spread in Wu dialect areas (Southern Jiangsu, Shanghai, most of Zhejiang, southern Anhui, etc.), and its origin can be traced back to the folk songs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After being sung and revised by artists of the past dynasties, "Purple Bamboo Tunes" in various places have added their own local characteristics, and the syllables are handled differently. However, his lyrics and music all have a strong Wu style.

The music is generally composed of six phrases, and the modes are changed regularly, and the melody is soft and fluent. The music vividly expresses the happy scene of a pair of young children, which is full of appeal and life interest.
