The whole song is based on the tones of Yue Opera and has a dance style. (The music adopts the characteristics of Zhejiang folk tunes, and the melody is beautiful and smooth.

Lyrics and music by Zhou Dafeng, composed in 1958. It was originally the theme song and dance soundtrack of the Yue Opera "Song before the Rain", and was later adapted into a dance sketch "Tea Picking Dance" based on the song.
