Moonlight Song had many backstories. One theory was that since he was almost deaf, his tragic fate made him want to end his life. The first movement was more like a requiem he wrote for himself. Legend has it that one evening, while taking a walk alone in the suburbs, he heard the sound of his song coming from a simple hut. He approached the hut and heard the conversation between the siblings inside. The sister loved music but was blind and they had no money to listen to the music of the van. He was deeply moved and entered the house to play for them. A gust of wind blew out the candles, and the moonlight shone into the room. Then, an inspiration came to him, and he played a beautiful song. Then, he rushed home and wrote the song overnight. In addition, in 1801, he fell in love with the daughter of an earl who had moved from Italy, Giulieta Quiccati. He wanted to marry her, but at that time, noble daughters could not marry poor musicians. She soon married, and he turned his love for her into the music of Moonlight. In the first edition of this song, the words "dedicated to Giulieta Giucciardi" were printed.
There were two main stories behind the creation of Moonlight Song: Firstly, more than 200 years ago, he traveled to a small town by the Rhine River. One night, he heard the intermittent sound of a piano playing his own song coming from the cottage. When he approached, the piano stopped. The brother and sister were talking in the house. The girl said that the song was difficult to play and regretted not being able to listen to the music played personally because they were too poor to buy concert tickets. He pushed open the door and saw his brother who made leather shoes and his blind sister. Then, he played the song that the blind girl had played before, and the blind girl guessed that it was him. Then, he improvised Moonlight for the siblings. Secondly, in 1801, the 31-year-old van der Waals fell in love with the 17-year-old Juliet. He felt that the girl loved him too. In this state of narcissism, van der Waals composed this piece of music, which was later called Moonlight (originally known as the 14th piano sonata in C sharp minor), to express his love. However, the title "Moonlight" was named after the German poet, Ludovic Lerstad, who compared the first movement to "a boat swaying on the moonlit lake of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland." It was not given to him by the composer himself. In order to increase sales, the publisher added "Moonlight" as a subtitle. However, there was also a view that the first movement was more like a requiem written for himself. At that time, his tragic fate made him want to end his life.
The Moonlight was composed in 1801, when he was in love with Julifatta Guicardi. The song was dedicated to her. However, there were many explanations for the background of this song. After listening to the first movement of the song, the German poet, Ludovic Lerstad, compared it to "a boat swaying on the moonlit lake of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland", thus giving it the name "Moonlight Song". But he was nearly deaf, and his tragic fate made him want to end his life. The Russian art critic Stasov believed that this sonata was a complete tragedy. The first movement was a sentimental tenderness and sometimes a mental state full of dark premonitions. There was also a saying that Einstein sympathized with the poor brother and sister, and was moved by the brotherhood of the brother and sister to improvise the Moonlight Song. In addition, Ashil-Claude Debussy also had a work called Moonlight, which belonged to the Bergamo suite and was composed in 1900.
There were different versions of the creation background of the Moonlight Song. One theory was that the German poet, Ludovic Lerstad, compared the first movement of the song to " a boat swaying on the moonlit lake of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland ", thus giving the song the name " Moonlight Song ". However, the true origin of the song was unknown. There was also a popular story. More than 200 years ago, Einstein traveled to various places to perform and came to a small town by the Rhine River. One night, he heard the piano playing his song intermittently from the cottage. When he approached, he heard the conversation between the brother and sister in the house. His sister longed to listen to the piano but was unable to do so because of poverty. A gust of wind blew out the candles, and moonlight shone through the window. With the help of the moonlight, he improvised the Moonlight Song. He was moved by the brotherhood between the siblings, especially sympathizing with the blind girl's love for music and their poverty. In addition, Ashil-Claude Debussy also had the work Moonlight, which belonged to the Bergamo suite. It was composed in 1900 and was a piano piece in his first work. However, one had to pay attention to the difference between this song and the Moonlight Song by Bach.

"Under the Silver Moon" was a Russian folk song from the old Tsarist era. After the Soviet revolution, many Russians settled in Xinjiang and passed on the song to the local people. In 1949, Wang Luobin, the " King of Western Singing ", met many ethnic minority friends when he was the head of literature and art department in the Xinjiang Military Region. They often drank and sang together. One of the young Tatars sang the song. Wang Luobin wrote it down and adapted it, naming it " Under the Silver Moonlight," signed as a Tatar folk song. Later, Wang Luobin verified that it was a Russian folk song. When he wanted to correct it, the song had already been sung all over the country. Not long after, Wang Luobin's fate was involved in a political whirlpool, and he could no longer correct this small mistake. It was not until he passed away that he changed the song back to the Tartar song.
The Full Moon was created in November 2003. In the first few years when the composer Yin Qing was transferred to Beijing around 2000, his life was the most difficult and his spirit was the most lost. At that time, his wife and daughter were still in Nanjing, and he was wandering alone in Beijing. There was no one to take care of him, and he didn't know what to eat next. Moreover, he had problems with his lumbar spine. In less than a year, his parents passed away one after another. When his father died, he was serving as a judge of the seventh military art performance. His father didn't let his family tell him so as not to affect his work. When his mother died, he was busy with musical and dance drama creation and didn't have time to arrange his funeral. This made him live in guilt. He didn't know how to eat, often sat alone, and was in pain. He even wanted to give up music creation, but eventually got out of depression and continued to create. " Full Moon " was born under such circumstances. The main idea was to express the concern and longing for their relatives overseas. In terms of music arrangement, the melody was not fluctuating much, and the lines were soothing and smooth. It used the technique of first raising and then suppressing to convey a faint sadness and longing emotion. The middle section transitioned from the middle tone area to the high tone area, subliming the longing emotion and pushing the music atmosphere and emotion to the climax, achieving the harmonious unity of content and form.
