The work is divided into two narrative parts:
Part 1: Awakening
It opens with a very weak rhythm, simulating the breathing and dreams of the lion in its deep sleep. Gradually join the group to play the drum, the drum from sparse to dense, through the drum, drum from far and near the level of advancement, symbolizing the awakening of the pulse of the earth.
Part II: Leaping
Cut into the lion dance scene with the rapid rhythm of a small drum and the high-pitched sound of cymbals. Create a dynamic of jumping and swinging, and the dialogue between the lion drum and the Guangdong plate drum simulates the two lions playing. The climactic passage all instruments form a galloping stream in a Cannon-style stack, interspersed with the brilliant metal sound of the gong. The ending part reproduces the theme rhythm and gradually reaches the peak, stopping abruptly in the two-beat sonorous unison, leaving the aftertaste of the spirit of the lion dance.
《醒狮》是一首纯民族打击乐作品，以岭南传统文化中的醒狮仪式为灵感，通过丰富的打击乐音色与节奏变化，描绘狮子从沉睡中苏醒至欢腾起舞的完整过程。作品分为两个具有叙事性的部分：
第一部分：苏醒
以极弱的节奏开场，模拟狮子沉睡中的呼吸与梦境。逐渐加入群奏大鼓，鼓点由疏至密，通过大鼓、堂鼓由远及近的层次推进，象征大地脉搏的唤醒。
第二部分：腾跃
采用急促的小堂鼓节奏与高亢的钹声切入舞狮场景。营造跳跃、摆头的动态，狮鼓与广东板鼓的对话模拟双狮嬉戏。高潮段落所有乐器以卡农式叠奏形成奔腾音流，穿插铓锣辉煌的金属音响。结尾部分再现主题节奏并渐快至顶点，在两拍铿锵齐奏中戛然而止，留下醒狮精神勃发的余韵。
