Qiao Yu traveled from Taiyuan to Fenyang, and was warmly received by the Shanxi folks along the way. He was so impressed that he wrote the lyrics for the song, and Zhang Dichang then combined them with the characteristics of Shanxi's local music to complete the score. The lyrics are as follows:

People say that Shanxi is a beautiful place, where the land is fertile and the water is beautiful and the grains are fragrant.

The left hand points to the Taihang Mountains, the right hand points to Lvliang.

Standing on the high ground, you can see the water of the Fen River.

The Fen River flows through my village, where the apricot blossoms bloom in the apricot-flower village.

The children are in their best years, and the men are not afraid of a thousand hardships.

Daughters can embroider ten thousand kinds of flowers, and people with that ambition never grow old.

Look at the gray-haired woman, she is as strong as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman.
