"White Snow in Spring" was written by Shi Kuang of Jin State or Liu Juanzi of Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period.

"White Snow in Yangchun" is also known as "Ancient Song of Yangchun". The famous Guqin music is said to have been composed by Shi Kuang of Jin State or Liu Juanzi of Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the Warring States Period, it became an elegant piece of music of the Chu State; it also refers to literary and artistic works that are profound and elegant but not easy to understand. He often competes against "lower people".

Li Zhouhan's note: ""Yangchun" and "White Snow" are also the names of elegant music." Later, they were used to refer to elegant music in general. Conclusion 2 of Mao Zedong's "Speech at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art": "Now it is a question of the unification of 'Yangchun Baixue' and 'Xiaoliba people', and a question of improving and popularizing the unity."

The allusion of Yangchun Baixue comes from "Chu" The article "Song Yu's Answer to the King of Chu's Question" in "Ci".

King Xiang of Chu asked Song Yu, did Mr. Song have any hidden virtues? Why don't the common people praise you very much? Song Yu said that there were singers who came to Yingzhong in the state of Chu. At first they sang "Xialiba people", and there were thousands of people in the country. When the singer sang "Yang A Xie Lu", there were only a few hundred people in the middle school. When the singers sang "Spring and Snow", there were only dozens of middle school students.

When the song added some difficult skills, that is, "introducing businessmen, carving feathers, and mixing them with military conquests", there were only a few middle school students. Song Yu's conclusion is, "It's the music that makes the song high, and the harmony that makes the song less." The more elegant and complex the songs such as "Yangchun Baixue" are, the fewer people can sing the harmony, that is, the song is high and the song is low.
