Song appreciation:

According to an old legend, one summer and autumn evening in Tongzhi period, He Bozhong, who lived in Gao Yao Lane, Yazhongfang, was squatting in the toilet in the plantain garden behind his house. Unexpectedly, the wind and rain came and the plantain leaves were rattled. He quickly pulled a banana leaf to cover it, but the rain still dripped down from the leaf, making a very melodious "tick-tock, tick-tock" sound.

He listened to the graceful music played by nature, which triggered inspiration for a moment. When he returned home, he composed a song "Rain Beats Banana" with skillful creative skills. In the twenties and thirties of last century, Liu Tang, the grandson of He Bozhong, was invited to record a record, and this song was specially re-recorded and polished, and its artistic color was even richer.
