Many of the songs contain references to China or Chinese culture. Eno said that the title of the album was originally the name of a Maoist opera, which he encountered in San Francisco in the form of postcards advertising a performance. He had no interest in seeing the opera, but its title (which he felt sounded at once medieval and modern, romantic and practical) fascinated him.
