Wang Huiran wrote in the composition of Yi Dance Song: "At that time (1956), we trekked along with the horse gangs of the Yi and Miao ethnic groups every day, often with our feet on the clouds and our heads in the blue sky, and tasted the majestic beauty of the 100,000 great mountains and the picturesque mountain villages. At that time we also in the middle of the night at two or four o'clock to set off to catch the road, all the way to the bright moon, the night color is fascinating, and the earth's hazy scenery competing with each other. These are the moods that will later be depicted in the 'Introduction' to the Yi Dance." "On the way of marching, the old folks who drove the horse gangs often sang for us chic and colorful Yi folk songs and mountain songs, and we paid attention to watch their performances and learned many folk songs and dances. One of the most touching is the Yi dance "Cigarette Box Dance" (also known as "branding a hole, embroidering a flower"), its beautiful and touching dance, soft and melodious melody, light and elastic rhythm, which left us a lifelong unforgettable impression. Together with other colorful Yi music, it provides a solid foundation for the creation of "Yi Dance Music" and accumulates a wealth of musical materials.
