The whole song has five sections, plus an introduction and an ending. The introduction slowly jumps into the large intervals of octaves, fifths, and fourths with decorative sounds, just like the echo in the empty valley, depicting a vague and quiet artistic conception, which is fascinating. The music in the first and second sections is fresh and lively, and the atmosphere is lively. The third, fourth and fifth paragraphs use various onomatopoeic expression techniques to vividly show a picture of birds singing everywhere. The noisy scene of flying birds expresses people's passionate praise for the beautiful nature. The ending part reproduces a melody, and the last sentence uses an ascending melody of decomposed major triads. It is bright and powerful, expressing people's eager pursuit of a better life.

The introduction part at the beginning of the music is a larboard composed of two sentences 7+8. After a short accelerated connection, it enters the first section of Allegro. The first section is composed of four sentences: introduction, succession, transition and union. In the second section of the music, the sentence pattern evolves into four equal-length phrases of 8+8+8+8. The sentence pattern of the third section is basically the same as the second section, which is 8+8+8+7 sentence pattern, and finally ends. In terms of tone, an open section is formed. The mood of the music changes slightly and enters the fourth section consisting of two sentences 6+14. The fifth section is a loose section that completely simulates bird calls, and the length of the musical phrases is irregular. On the whole, "Birds on the Empty Mountain" adopts a multi-section structure that is very characteristic of traditional Chinese music. The whole song is based on the first section for repeated changes and free development. This creative technique is a common pattern in Chinese music; finally The ending reproduces the first section, and the major triad decomposition pattern is added to the end, forming a structural thinking with a Western belt reproduction.

The first 15 bars of the music are the introduction and larboard, which can be divided into two sentences of 7+8, which foreshadows the tone of the theme. The first section, Allegro, is the theme of the whole song. It has a two-part structure with a tail-end, which is equivalent to the Western two-part structure with reproduction. The 16th to 31st sections of the theme are the first section, which has the same 8+8 sentence structure. Sections 32-47 are the second section, consisting of two sentences of 8+8, which are the extension and conclusion of the first section. The second paragraph is an extension of the theme, which is composed of four equal-length phrases (8+8+8+8). The third paragraph is a four-sentence structure of equal length (8+8+8+8). It returns to the original Allegro speed, extracts the fourth octave tones in the theme and the tones of the second paragraph and makes variations (see Example 3) , ending on Zhengyin, forming an open section. The fourth section is a section consisting of two sentences of 6+14. It extracts the fourth-step tone of the theme and makes variations, and uses a triplet Western tune decomposed by a major triad. The fifth paragraph is the continued variation of the theme and the conclusion of the music. Each phrase is clear, but the length of each sentence is irregular, which is also the structure of the phrase. The ending reproduces the first section of the theme (it is supplemented by 4 bars of arpeggiated major third broken chords at the end), with Western tripartite thinking, which strengthens the unity of the whole piece.
