With "Cui Yu" performed by Wang Jiarui, the audience, under the guidance of the teacher Mou Yunjing from the Mental Health Education Center, closed their eyes, took a deep breath and felt the flow and ups and downs of music to accept the ups and downs of life. At the end of the song, the children's childlike speech that the tenderness of nature could be felt after closing the eyes, triggered bursts of applause from the audience in the session of communication and interaction.
The performance of "Love Spring Breeze" unfolds gradually in the slow and melodious video, played by Xu Linxuan and Xu Kefei together, whose light rhythm guided the audience to describe their own scenery of spring breeze.

When the passionate waves of the sea faded, the emerging was the river at the red cliff. In the sound of "Memories of the Past at Red Cliff" played by Tao Sihan, the audience could feel the river water gushing east and the sound of Guzheng making the red cliff empty, and experience the feeling of loss by “Life is but like a passing dream, I'd drink to the moon which once saw them on the stream". Don’t be confined to the immediate adversity. In "Ding Feng Bo", teacher Li Zheli’s leisurely music led the audience to appreciate the scene of the rising sun after the rain, and the audience could appreciate the open-minded mood in the face of tough life from the generation of literary master, Su Dongpo.
Finally, 16 people played the song, "Mincing Horses Walk in Mincing Steps". Looking back at the historical corridor, with glasses of wine, horse dancing in such festival, it was just like a lively scene in the Tang Dynasty. After the songs and dancing, the banquet came to an end.
