The earliest history of canon can be traced back to the folk music forms of the 13th century, such as hunting songs, round songs, etc. The cantata is a small vocal piece in the form of an unending canon in which each part enters at the same spacing. It became popular in England after the 13th century. A complete canon appeared in the 15th century and was favored by Flemish composers.

Since then, the Canon has often been used as an independent small piece of music or as a section in a large piece of music. The technical part of the "Canon" is used in many symphonic works, such as Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny" ", Bach's "Five Canon Variations", etc.

According to the different pitch differences of each voice part, the canon can be divided into the same degree canon, the fifth degree canon, the fourth degree canon, etc.; according to the length of the interval, it can be divided into one-measure canon and two-measure canon. etc.; in addition, there are various techniques such as accompaniment canon, transposed canon, retrograde canon, and reverse canon.
