The whole song "Zen Temple Bells" can be divided into two parts. The first part is a deep slow, melody of mourning, hesitation and anticipation; the kneading, moaning, sliding, subtly and euphemistically of the left hand. Although the music borrows the name of "Zen Temple" to seek peace and tranquility, the actual music makes people feel sad from the bottom of their hearts. The second part is composed of slow and fast passages of 1/4 beats that are repeated three times, and the music seems to gradually come alive from the slow rhythm, implicitly expressing people's expectations for the future and the hope for light.
The music adopts the "Yifan Line" mode, which is characterized by a large number of 7 (bass) and 4 tones, making the mood of the music desolate, sad, and wrathful. This mode of music is mostly used to express sadness, unhappiness and sadness.
