Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I was always wondering where the nicknames "moon and stars" came from 😅 Thanks!

People saw that they posted these pictures on their Oasis accounts on the same day.

This is 100% a coincidence by the way, because these were posted on March 27, 2020 and they didn't even know each other then. It's not visible in the screenshots (I'm too lazy to look for other versions) but they also coincidentally used the same hashtag #下一站出发 ("To the next stop") on their descriptions.

Some fans thought it was a cool coincidence so the paired nicknames stars (GJ) and moon (ZH) became a thing, but it wasn't used that often in the fandom until the day after the Tom Ford live in Shanghai. The live was on April 23 and they had to go there in person along with two other celebs. The evening after that event there was a massive fan war between their fans (marketing and melon accounts have been instigating it for hours since before the event even started) and weibo was filled with "who is more handsome" polls and other instigatory shit. CP fans were busy making sure the polls were equal while the solo fans duked it out elsewhere. It was pretty messy that night with fans calling the other one ugly, saying their preferred actor was better, etc etc. Tensions were also pretty high because of them posing together during the event. GJ got there pretty early but didn't go inside the venue until ZH arrived. Being seen on the same event together is one thing, but deliberately waiting for the other and posing in front of the cameras together is uhh different. This was weeks after the show was done airing in China so usually at this timing dangai actors would start distancing themselves from the other. The Tom Ford event would have been the perfect time to ease the fans off of the CP image, and that's what every one (including me) expected. Anyway, their fans have already been complaining for weeks that it was taking them so long to dissolve the CP and that event was supposed to be their chance, so you can see how what happened upset people and caused a lot of fighting on weibo that night.

The morning after, GJ posted song lyrics on his instagram. The highlighted line 星星和月亮一起闪耀 says "the stars and moon shine together" and it resulted in the nicknames becoming very popular in the fandom.
