In the eyes of the Chinese people, the moon has always been a special symbolism. Mythical legends, poetry, folk customs have all endowed her with personality and profound cultural connotations. Her appearing and disappearing, waxing, and waning seem to constantly reflect people’s sorrows, joys, and even destinies. As an emblem of eternal presence, the moon appears exceptionally mysterious. In the verses of literati and in the melodies passed down through the ages, it is not only a representation of longing, loneliness, and homesickness, but also a symbol of the implicit, tranquil, serene, and beautiful artistic conception pursued by Chinese culture.
月亮在中国人眼中，从来都代表着特殊的寓意。神话传说、诗词歌赋、民俗习惯都赋予了她人格和深刻 的文化内涵。她的升落圆缺、隐现明暗，似乎时刻体现着人们的悲伤欢乐甚至命运。月亮作为一种永恒存 在的象征显得无比神秘，在文人墨客的诗句中，久远流传的乐曲中，她不仅是相思、寂寞和乡愁，更是中国文化 所追求的含蓄，恬静，清幽、美好的意境的象征。
