The original members of the group were alumni with art majors from the Academic Teachers College ({{zhi|c=師範大學}}), the only university with an art major at the time. Their first intention was to show that the effort to create new art was worthwhile in itself, even if it did not directly enhance art pedagogy. Later, it became a movement to modernize Chinese art.

The members of the Fifth Moon Group studied western art movements, and concluded that the abstract art form was the best medium for modern Chinese art. They felt the best the Chinese paintings were ones that de-emphasized realistic representation, and emphasized atmosphere and "vividness", which comes from the brush strokes and the natural interaction between ink and paper. To further that idea, one does not need representation of objects in painting, or strictly use ink and paper. The beauty of a painting can be appreciated directly from the forms, textures, and colors on the canvas without their relation to real objects.
The group was active from 1957 to 1972. The main members are [[Liu Guosong]], Chuang Che ({{zhi|c=莊喆}}), Hu Chi-Chung ({{zhi|c=胡奇中}}), Fong Chung-ray ({{zhi|c=馮鍾睿}}), and [[Han Hsiang-ning]].
