The first movement is inspired by a Tibetan folk tune Du Mu played on a recorder Xiongling. The music presents the rich gestures (a name of a god in Tibetan Buddhism) in a serene mood. Dui Xie is a kind of Tibetan folk ensemble music with the same tune in the introduction and the coda, played with the plucking instrument Zhamunie, the bamboo flute and the fiddle Erhu, often performed with singing and tap dancing. The plinth materials of the second movement Dui Xie are drawn from the flok ensemble music and a lyrical Tibetan folk song, Amaliehou. This trio was adapted to a new version for flute , viola and harp in 2022.
