- As the final part of photographer Yang Yankang's Faith Trilogy, Star and Moon is of great significance. The three themes are interconnected and complementary, reflecting the core of the creator's search for creativity through photography: humanity and love.

The publication of Star and Moon is an important addition to China's documentary photography, as well as a record of and testimony to our timesStar and Moon presents the daily life of the Hui people and expresses a kind of "emptiness" that transcends time and meaning. Lonely, mysterious, quiet and elegant, the simple images are like a faded postcard, bringing a deep Zen feeling to the heart. At first glance, the images of Star and Moon are plain and seemingly picturesque. However, if you sit quietly for a moment and feel the breath conveyed by the black and white shadows, you will experience a heavy breath running through it, adsorbing the viewer's eyes tightly, following the photographer's lens in the cycle of the stars and the moon, experiencing the destiny of the Islamic nation together.

His works on the three major religions have historically placed them in a prominent position in the history of modern Chinese art, and he has become one of the leading photographic artists in China and even in the world.
