This song consists of two parts and ten short sections, using various contrasting techniques to depict the beautiful images of plum blossoms in two states: static and dynamic.

Part one, the first six paragraphs. It mainly adopts the cyclic reproduction technique, with "three lanes" as the core.

The first section of the music is the introduction to the whole song. The tone is friendly and beautiful, and the rhythm contrasts between smooth and soothing and ups and downs, which succinctly summarizes the basic characteristics of the whole song. This section appears in the bass range of the guqin, with a rich and bright tone. The first twelve measures are characterized by a melody that jumps up and down intervals of fifths and sixths, combined with a steady and powerful rhythm, and is full of solemn color, as if it is a tribute to plum blossoms; the last fourteen measures mostly use homophonic repetitions with dotted rhythms. The use of music makes the melody full of propulsion, as if the plum blossoms are swaying in the breeze.

Then the theme of the music is presented for the first time (measures 16 to 27 of the whole song). This beautiful and smooth tune appears three times in the music, all played with clear and transparent overtones. It vividly expresses the tranquil and dignified demeanor of plum blossoms. The subtle changes in its overtone color give this theme a very delicate musical conception. The theme appears three times - the three lanes, which are similar to ancient repeated chants and leave a deep impression on people.

The second part, the last four paragraphs. It opens up a new realm: using a series of rapid rhythms and unstable music to express a turbulent atmosphere, and using dynamic pictures to set off the proudly erect image of plum blossoms.

The end of the music proceeds in a relaxed atmosphere: the modal dominant descends and transitions to the tonic, and then ends smoothly, as if after experiencing the test of wind and snow, everything has returned to calm, and the plum blossoms are still exuding Quiet fragrance.

According to legend, Huan Yi was good at playing the flute. Once, the son of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi met Huan Yi on the road. Because he had admired Huan Yi for a long time, he asked Huan Yi to play a piece of music. Although Huan Yi was a noble man at that time, he was humble. Although they were strangers to each other, Huan Yi still got out of the car and played a piece of music for him, which is the famous "Three Plum Blossom Alleys".
