Recently, some studies have shown that this piece is not Lou Shuhua's first creation, but Jin Zhuo Nan's adaptation of the folk zheng piece "Double Board" and its evolutionary pieces "Three Rings Setting the Sun" and "Running Water Stirring the Stones," which were circulating around Linqing in Liaocheng, Shandong Province.
