Five male students from Beijing Conservatory of Music played the opening theme of "Journey to the West" in the dormitory and received praise from everyone. It can be said that the opening theme of "Journey to the West" - "Tiangong News" - is very difficult to play. The arrangement of this piece also uses a lot of musical instruments, including folk instruments and electronic instruments.

It not only retains the traditional charm of folk music, but also has the flavor of Western magic. This piece of music progresses layer by layer and seems very atmospheric. So this opening song was loved by everyone when it was released. Although it has no lyrics, it expresses through music the image of Sun Wukong soaring into the clouds and riding the mist in "Journey to the West" and the hardships and obstacles the four masters and apprentices went through to learn the scriptures.

So this song has been sought after by everyone since its release. The selection of this song also went through a lot of hardships. When Yang Jie, the director of "Journey to the West", selected the opening theme of "Journey to the West", he chose many composers. But no one was satisfied until Xu Jingqing appeared. When Xu Jingqing was composing this song, Yang Jie just asked him to complete the composition as soon as possible.

And it is said that the scenes of "Journey to the West" should be matched according to his music. It can be said that this kind of creation is very difficult. What's more, there are too many elements in "Journey to the West". It is undoubtedly very difficult to express it through just two minutes of music. But Xu Jingqing did not give up. When he woke up at noon one day, he heard migrant workers knocking on their lunch boxes outside the window and humming as they walked.

This tune inspired his thoughts, so he composed this piece. Similarly, after this song was broadcast, many media questioned that his music was too Western and unsuitable to set off Chinese classics. There were so many objections that the superiors wanted to change the soundtrack, but Yang Jie objected. It is precisely because of her opposition that this song has been passed down to this day. And because this song is a mixture of multiple instruments and has no lyrics, it is undoubtedly very difficult to play it.
