The tranquil and slightly plaintive melody creates a quiet atmosphere of the lake sparkling and the sun setting; Then the rhythm becomes more active, like a fisherman singing happily in a tipsy state, reflecting the yearning and love for a free life; The end is back to calm, as if the fisherman tastes life alone after the song stops, showing a kind of indifferent Mingzhi, contented attitude to life.

As a classic work of Chinese guqin art, "Drunken Fishing Singing Late" not only has a high artistic aesthetic value, but also contains profound cultural connotation. With its unique musical language, it reveals the ancient literati's way of seeking spiritual sustentation in the face of realistic difficulties, and also expresses the awe of nature and the persistent pursuit of ideal life. After thousands of years of inheritance, the music is still loved and respected by the vast number of guqin lovers and music researchers, and has become a shining pearl in the treasure house of Chinese classical music culture.
