Ming Yue Qian Li Ji Xiang Si is a timeless classic Chinese song themed around lovesickness that has remained popular for decades. Composed and written by Jin Liu (birth name Liu Ruzeng) in the 1940s, it transcends eras to become a musical memory for generations, thanks to its classical artistic conception and universal longing emotion.
The song was created in Shanghai around 1947. At that time, the pain of separation caused by social wars became a prevalent collective sentiment. The composer Liu Ruceng captured this emotion and drew on the classical poetry tradition of "conveying affection through the bright moon" to create the piece. Initially, when he approached "the Queen of Nasal Voice" Wu Yingyin to perform it, the song almost never saw the light of day because Wu thought "the melody was not beautiful." It was only recorded reluctantly at Liu Ruceng's insistence. Unexpectedly, the song achieved great success after its release, with soaring record sales, quickly becoming a hit across Shanghai. Additionally, the song's vitality has been continuously sustained through cover versions. Among the most iconic is Paula Tsui's 1988 rendition, included in her Mandarin album Bie Yi Nan . The album rearranged the song in a modern style, injecting new vitality into it and making it popular again in the Chinese music scene.
This sheet music is in the key of E major, based on Paula Tsui's cover version. It can be played on an E major bamboo flute using the fundamental note tuned to 5.
