Song Zhang in Xi 'an drum music refers to folk songs accompanied by percussion instruments and melodic instruments such as sheng, pipe and flute, or instrumental music without lyrics.

The "Yingzhou" in the title of this song originally refers to the sacred mountain in the East China Sea where immortals lived in ancient Chinese legends. When Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, had not yet ascended the throne, he set up a literature museum in Tiance Mansion, which he controlled, and gathered eighteen scholars to discuss political affairs and classics and historical books with him. At that time, once the scholars were selected into the literature museum, they were called "Deng Yingzhou". The small suona, with its delicate and graceful sheng, interweave a smooth melody of light mood, bringing people into the palace of Heaven where all the talents gather, witnessing the eighteen scholars of romantic elegance, discussing the temple's policies with open mind, and feeling the vigorous atmosphere of the prosperous era.
