In the brilliant galaxy of erhu art, "Moon Tooth Five Watches" shines like a pearl, captivating countless listeners with its unique charm and profound artistic conception. This piece is not a traditional "Five Watches Tune", but rather a solo erhu composition created by Mr. Liu Mingyuan, who drew inspiration from the Northeastern folk song "Moon Tooth Five Watches" and incorporated elements of opera music.

The piece of music takes "crescent moon" as its imagery and depicts the emotional changes in people's hearts under the moonlight through five sections.

The first movement: The piece begins with a gentle tempo, the erhu's tone as soft as moonlight, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

Second update: The tempo gradually quickens, and the melody becomes lively and cheerful, as if depicting a joyous scene of frolicking under the moonlight.

At the third watch, the music turned somber. The erhu's performance was mournful and plaintive, expressing complex emotions such as yearning and sadness.

The fourth movement: The melody rises again, the mood becomes passionate, expressing the yearning and pursuit for a beautiful life.

The fifth movement: The music concludes in tranquility, as if the moon were setting behind the western mountains, leaving the audience with boundless reverie.

The charm of "Moon Crescent at Five O'Clock" lies not only in its beautiful melody but also in its rich expressiveness. The erhu's playing techniques are fully displayed in this piece. The application of techniques such as vibrato, glissando, and trill vividly portrays the hazy moonlight and the delicate emotions.

In addition, the piece of music ingeniously incorporates elements of traditional opera music, such as the rhythmical treatment of "fast accompaniment and slow singing", which makes the music more vivid and dramatic.
