"White-haired Girl" adopted the tunes of folk songs and local operas in Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, adapted and created it, and drew lessons from the handling methods of western operas to express characters, thus shaping its own unique musical image.

Yang Bailao's song "Ten Miles of Snow is White" is based on Shaanxi folk song "Caimaigen", with a deep and deep tune, which is a musical theme depicting Yang Bailao's basic character. The musical themes depicting Xi's personality mainly come from Hebei folk songs "Biography of Qingyang" and "Chinese Cabbage", which run through the whole drama and change with the changes of Xi's personality.

For example, the passage "The North Wind Blows" selects the relatively cheerful melody of the Hebei folk song "The Biography of Qingyang"; When I met Huang Shiren at Grandma's Temple, in order to show Xi's strong class hatred, I adopted the tune of Shanxi Bangzi, which was loud and tragic.
