Xian Xinghai was very excited after hearing this, and said that he would create The Yellow River Cantata for the crew.

Before the Spring Festival, Zhang Guangnian wrote more than 400 lines of The Yellow River Cantata's poems in just five days. Xian Xinghai kept writing in a crude earthen kiln in Yan 'an for six days, and completed all the scores of The Yellow River Cantata's eight movements and accompanying music on March 3 1. Together, they wrote the Chinese music epic of this era.
