As described in Authentic Ancient Sounds, "the whole body has three ups and downs", that is, the whole song can be roughly divided into three ups and downs:

The first part (the first paragraph), "The first play is like a swan coming to the shore, and the sky is misty, and the order of the geese is harmonious, and it is hidden and obvious, and it is like coming". If the clouds are hazy, quiet and serene, the Qiu Jiang customs.

in the second part (paragraphs 2-6), "it wants to fall, and it looks around and hovers in the air; It will fall, and the sound of interest will be swept obliquely, three times around the continent. " The song is lively and embellished with the sound patterns echoed by the chirping of geese, which accurately, delicately and vividly describes the different modes of geese when they are "about to fall" and "about to fall", and fully shows the vitality and joy of life.

in the third part (paragraph 7), "it's not only falling, but also calling for another. Groups of three or five; Flying and eating, getting the right feeling; The mother and the son will give way to each other, and they can also taste it. " It also reproduces the melody of freedom and harmony: the geese "float" on the flat sand, in groups of three or five, calling for each other; Flying, singing, lodging, eating, each as it pleases; Son, mother, female, male, intimate and loving ...

Different people have different opinions on the melody of this work, and there have always been various understandings: there are "the meaning of clear autumn is sparse, and the geese fly" to describe the autumn scenery; There are "take the autumn air, the wind is calm and the sand is flat, the clouds are Cheng Wanli, the sky is flying, and the ambition of the swan is used to write the mind of Yishi"; From Hongyan's "feeling of returning to Xiang to look after her, the state of going up and down, the image of Xiang and then gathering, the god of being surprised and rising again", "When falling, the sand is flat and the water is far away, and the mind is idle, the friends have no guess, and the men and women have a narrative", which sends out the feeling that the world is sinister and human nature is not as good as that of geese ... < P > Nevertheless, the tune of this music rises and falls. It has always maintained a hearty and cheerful attitude and a blend of scenes, which shows the ancient people's praise and love for the beautiful scenery of the motherland. There is no doubt about this.
