The general idea of the koto piece "The Fishing Boat Sings the Evening

The piece "The Fishing Boat Sings the Evening Song" depicts the moving picture of the fishermen returning with a song under the glow of the evening sun.

The piece begins with a beautiful and elegant tune and a soothing rhythm, depicting a picture of the setting sun reflecting the blue waves. Then, the theme of the music is used as the material to descend layer by layer, the music is lively and full of interest. When it changes again and repeats itself, it uses a pentatonic scale back and forth, cascading down around a melody.

Finally, the melody that rises and then falls is joined into a circle and repeated many times, and the speed is accelerated one by one, which shows the fishermen in a happy mood, the white sails following the waves, and the fishing boats returning home with full loads. The zheng piece has been adapted as a duet for gaohu and guzheng, as well as a solo violin piece and a solo flute piece.
