"Yun Gong Xun Yin" is the opening song of the TV series "Journey to the West". It was composed by Xu Jingqing and was included in the original soundtrack album "Journey to the West: TV Series Soundtrack" released on September 25, 1986.

Xu Jingqing spent a lot of time trying to sum up the all-encompassing content of "Journey to the West" in a piece of music, and he couldn't eat or sleep for several days. Xu Jingqing used to write at night and get up at noon. One day, after getting up at noon, I was in a daze on the bed, just a few migrant workers passed by the window, humming a little tune while knocking on the lunch box. Xu Jingqing was like a dick, and a classic "Deng Deng Deng Deng", which was born out of the tune of migrant workers, was brewed.

In the late 1970s, Xu Jingqing heard the electric guitar in Teresa Teng's music, and found it very nice. After work, taking advantage of various soundtrack opportunities, he began to use a lot of electroacoustics. In "Cloud Palace Xunyin", in order to make Sun Wukong "fly", Xu Jingqing creatively used electric guitars, drums and electric bass.

"Cloud Palace Xunyin" did not have a song title at the beginning, and it has always been called "Journey to the West Overture" or "Prelude". The name of the song was chosen by netizens after many years of TV drama airing. Xu Jingqing likes this name very much, thinking that it is "kind and appropriate, and has a literary taste.
