The poster design of the music criticism competition emphasizes the combination of the aesthetic experience of traditional Chinese music and the critical and critical consciousness in modern music criticism, referring to the aesthetic concepts promoted in "Xishan Qin Kuang" and "Twenty Four Poems". These two works are critiques of traditional Chinese guqin music and poetry creation. The work integrates traditional Chinese music creation into Chinese philosophical thought.
The notes, dialogue boxes, and Tai Chi Yin Yang in the poster are organically combined, and the deep blue and textured image reminds people of the universe and stars. Tai Chi Yin Yang is an important concept in Chinese culture, which is the origin of all things in the universe. Its core is the harmony between the human body and the mind and body, the harmony between people, and the harmony between people and nature. This is in line with the aesthetic taste conveyed in traditional Chinese culture and the spiritual core embodied in Taoist philosophy in traditional music, both of which are the "harmony" of the ethereal and clear soul achieved by humans, music, nature, and the universe.
​音乐评论比赛的海报设计偏重中式传统音乐的美感体验与现代乐评中的批评批判意识的相结合，参照《溪山琴况》和《二十四诗品》中弘扬的审美观念。这两部著作是中国传统古琴音乐与诗歌创作的评论。著作中把中国传统音乐创作融入到了中国哲学思想中。
​海报画面中音符、对话框与太极阴阳，三者有机的结合到一起，蔚蓝色充满肌理的画面让人联想起宇宙与星辰。太极阴阳是中国文化中一个重要概念，它是宇宙万物之原。它的核心就是人体与心身的和谐、人与人的和谐、人与自然的和谐，这与传统中国文化中传达的审美情趣，及传统音乐中所体现的道禅哲学为精神核心是契合的，都是人与音乐与自然与宇宙达到的空灵清远的心灵之“和“。
