Nine Songs is a set of sacrificial songs, 1 1, which is a re-creation of Qu Yuan's folk sacrificial songs. "Nine Songs of National Mourning" commemorates the folk meaning of "Nine Songs", mourns the patriotic soldiers who died, and mourns and praises the heroic soul of Chu Bing who died for his country. This music song is divided into two parts. First, it describes the heroic scene of Chu soldiers fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy.

Then they mourn the noble festival in which they died for their country. As can be seen from the first section, the sun is covered and the enemy is like a cloud. This is a life-and-death battle. When the enemy came menacingly and rushed into the battle formation of the Chu army, the soldiers of the Chu army still fought bravely for the first place when they wanted to move forward. However, I saw a main battle vehicle rushing out of the battlefield. This original four-horse carriage, although the horse on the left hand side has been shot.

The Hummer on the right was also cut down, but its owner, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, still had nothing to hide. He buried the two wheels of the chariot in the soil, caged the reins, raised the gavel instead, and sounded the marching drum. At that time, the fighting spirit killed Xiao, which led to the anger of Heaven following Wei. When the murderous look is exhausted, there are only bodies left on the battlefield, lying in the wilderness.
