Just be careful when you purchase them, as many of them are for her Japanese songs (she was fluent in Japanese and Chinese). If you are looking for Teresa Teng’s CDs or DVDs, you can try looking for them on. It isn’t that I love or don’t love you, because I do it’s only that at some times my love is more obvious than at others. To conclude, the moon metaphor is how I would represent my own feelings for someone. But if you do somehow manage to recall this song during the festival, then you can use that meaning instead! Interpret it as you will: for the purposes of practicality, you might want to use the meaning I put forth on this page. If this is so, it would provide another (and possibly originally intended) explanation. The festival mentioned here is the mid-autumn festival, or as many Chinese fondly call it, the moon-cake festival (for we all love them! and it is only during this time that they are wildly sold). The Moon FestivalĪccording to a reader of mine, Angela, this song is sung on the moon festival…or autumn festival….and on that night the moon is the fullest in teh whole year.
Add to all this the significance of the moon in Chinese culture, and you get a great song.

Underneath the veil of a half-moon, or crescent moon or moonlessness, there is a full moon just waiting to appear. From certain angles, the moon reflects light in a certain way, from other angles, it reflects light in other ways.Īnd yet love, though seemingly different, never changes. Bit does the moon really change over time? It’s always the same moon, it’s only how it is viewed that makes it seem different. And like magic, the moon appears to change through time. Like magic, love appears is replenished through time. The moon changes all the time, from the full-moon, to the half-moon, to the crescent moon, followed by several moonless nights - then magically, the crescent moon comes back into being, and grows to the half-moon, and finally becomes full again! The Love Cycle It comes and goes, and it’s when it goes that determines who the successful couples are. The feeling of love does not last unwaveringly day in, day out. Then comes the moon as an indicator of love. With its connotations of night, the moon is inherently romantic. Some of these associations include romantic feelings from candle-light meals, feelings when one settles onto the same bed as one’s partner, or when one goes out together with a loved one for slow walks by the sea. Firstly, the moon brings to mind night, and all the associations that come with it. Suddenly it dawned on me why the moon was a great metaphor for love. Gosh, there was more to this metaphor than meets the eye.
On a moonless night, one cannot see the moon, and yet one knows the moon is there - somewhere out there, but out there somewhere. On a moonless night it would be a stupid song for a lover. I went out to take a look at the moon, hmm… it was a moonless night! Sheesh, some love song. Then one day while thinking about the fickleness of love, this song came to mind: “the moon represents my heart.” Wait a minute… the moon? “that’s a weird representation of a muscle,” I thought to myself. At that time I thought that I was perhaps just being childish and fickle for not holding on to that feeling (of love) forever. I’ve been infatuated with girls before, only for the infatuation to steal away for a while, and return with a vengeance. Secondly, I was thinking about the fleeting feelings I had for the subjects of my romantic fancy. The very reason why I took an interest in finding out the meaning of this song was because firstly, the language used is simple - mostly words we use in everyday conversations - and therefore the lyrics are accessible for just about anyone versed in even a little bit of the Chinese language. That’s why I have decided to give some commentary of my own. Moon Represents My Heart?īut putting these cultural differences aside, was there any significance as to why the moon was used in this way to represent the heart? I’ve been looking for resources on this over the internet, but commentary on this song in English (I don’t know about Chinese) has been non-existent. And time, arguably, is of great importance to man. Western culture uses the Sun to tell time, while the Chinese use the moon (without which there will be no Lunar New Year). Not the same in the literal sense, but rather, in terms of its importance and value, it’s really pretty close - e.g. The moon in the Chinese culture is something like the sun in the Western culture. However, in the Chinese culture the moon is much more than just “a moon”. Taken out of context, the moon is a moon, and is generally not considered anything special. It was sung and popularised by the late Teresa Teng. There’s this song that I love called (translated): The Moon Represents My Heart or Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin (Hanyu pinyin).
