Meihu Opera (Meihu Opera) is one of the traditional local operas in Shaanxi, and it is said to have originated from the Meixian and Huxian areas at the foot of the Taibai Mountains. Its tunes and tunes are different from the soaring Qin Opera, but they are euphemistic and beautiful, with fascinating artistic charm, so they are also called "confused", which is often called "Qing Opera" by scholars. The music structure of Meixi Opera is in the form of qupai, with most qupai using "happy tone" and "bitter tone". Its main function is to cooperate with the performance actions, the dialogue between the vocals, and to enhance the atmosphere.

This song is adapted from the melody of Meixi Opera and has a strong local style. The cheerful and lively erhu resounded through the vast land of Sanqin, revealing richness in its softness and boldness in its delicacy. The magnificent dulcimer embellishes the beauty of a prosperous era and the legacy of an ancient style, making the heart open and comfortable. Suddenly, the music turned slowly and deeply, as if in a blink of an eye, the sea and fields had changed, the wind and clouds had changed, the flames of war were raging, and the drought was unbearable. The erhu stubbornly slid out the sound of resilient life, and the dulcimer murmured softly, comforting the suffering soul. Finally, the joyful and uplifting melody gradually rose, as if it contained infinite power, inspiring people to continue moving forward.
