Regarding this song as the basis of ghost marriage, the lyrics mentioned that the wedding day is "the 18th day of the first month, auspicious day of the ecliptic". On this day, it is appropriate to be buried and avoid marriage. And the suona in the middle of the song is the most shocking and moving place of this song. The tragic voice of suona seems to have blown away the world, making people completely unable to recognize the celebration on the wedding day.

Although the songwriter didn't tell the story behind the song, some netizens on the Internet made bold guesses about the background story of the song, and the reasonable version of the story is like this.

The groom and the bride king have known each other for a long time, but later the groom will go to Beijing to catch the exam. When he left, he promised the bride that he would come back to marry her. The bride who was left behind fell in love with Wang for a long time, and then the groom from childhood came back to marry the bride. The bride is entangled in her heart. She knew that the person in her heart was no longer the groom, so the bride hanged herself before marrying the groom.

Although the bride died, the groom thought he still had to keep his promise, so he held a ghost wedding with the bride on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. On the wedding day, "the official thought happily for a long time, but only mumbled a sad word about leaving others", while the bride lying in the coffin "cried with a smile" and "cried with a smile", listening to the groom pour out her worries and the tribute and snacks sent to her by the king, and she could no longer say a word, because they had been separated by Yin and Yang.
