Features: The reflection of the moon in water, a is it real or illusory, holds little attraction. What I am truly interested in is a real Huayanjun, the original creator of "Erquan Yin Yue" and the human background behind his composition of this great masterpiece. However, I have never fully believed that Huayanjun is the original creator of "Erquan," yet I always thought the original creator had a more profound significance. Every time I hear "Yue'er," I associate it with the melody of "Erquan Yin Yue," and thus I always believed there is a deep and profound connection between the two. In my opinion, Huayanjun, a street performer, could have achieved such greatness—this is only possible because he was blind. The world before his eyes was dark, yet his hearing remained, and it was exceptionally sensitive and refined, almost capable of discerning every subtle sound in the world. The moon in the water sways and ripples, yet it is still captured by the auditory membrane of his hearing.
