To come to know about the historical background of this music as well as the instrument, makes listening and viewing this piece all the more most interesting. Thank you!
I for one am looking forward to China's re emergence as the major world power: So much culture, so much energy, and beautiful people. Please learn the lessons America teaches at her own cost (that aggressive war is a crime and domination a big mistake), and do not emulate them. Choose the middle path, look both ways, and walk with heads held high.
It describes a big chinese hero defeated by another chinese hero who was the first emperor of China dynasty Han. The big hero took off his armor and killed himself, his lover also suicided. It really a sad music.
This is beautiful. I think that the next generation of great musicians are on the internet watching these videos and seeing the entire world and all its instruments. Hopefully the more exposure to music from around the world, the more original and crazy the music of the future will be!
@whoisit01 Judging from what you just said, I think you'd love Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Look up videos of them "live at the quick". Their music is amazing and will change your life!
This happens to be the first if not the only comment I've seen on the entire internet that has said something positive about the future musicians of this planet
Pourquoi les chinois (asiatiques) n'ont aucune émotion sur le visage ? par exemple, cette femme n'a pas du tout le comportement d'un occidental qui joue de la guitare, l'occidental aura des mimiques avec sa bouche et ses yeux et les chinois ont le même visage du début à la fin :o aucun sourire, aucun pleur... Quelqu'un pourrait me répondre ? Et aussi, ils n'ont pas le même centre de gravité que nous autres, occidentaux ! :o Cela m'intéresse énormément. Merci et RESPECT FROM PARIS, FRANCE
@HauteGameFR This type of music belongs to the ancient literati tradition where the spiritual side is the prime. Traditional masters focus very much on the inner power and beauty of the music. They perform with grace and consider extensive use facial expression or body movements as a sign that the player is not confident enough to convey the meaning by music itself. Today it seems more like a personal preference. Anyway, classical music of this type is meant to listen to, not really for watching
Grace Unto You And Peace,How Fang plays is extraordinaire! The pipa is as true to tradition as change isnecessary to present China: Ai Weiwei! If you live in the U.S.A., write a gentle note to:"The Most Honorable Zhou Wenzhong,"/PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA EMBASSY,/2300 Connecticut Ave. N. W.,/Washington D. C 20008./ Request clemency?Xie Xie "Tauno"

Xie Xie "Tauno"
The pipa is a lethal weapon, it just kills me, such drama played in such extravagance, like a march into battle, yet so delicate at times, like the wailing of a woman...all of these emotions from a simple instrument!
I have learned some Liquid Dancing with Digits. Moving my fingers in smooth motions. But this is really incredible, I would love to try playing though!
Chinese musicians have been rocked and rolled for few hundred years already. Chinese have so much passion, when will they put some in technologies and science instead of into those western brain washing languages.
@beancube2010 Yes, we've been doing this stuff for THOUSANDS of years and the Western world just started using it and think they discovered something new. :P We've also had bling way before it was introduced here. Anyways, Modern China and Chinese culture don't care for the arts anymore. This skill of quickly fading away. Chinese don't even follow Chinese traditions anymore.
@ricpride Yeah unfortunately the cultural revolution and the subsequent westernization of China destroyed thousands of years of culture. Confucian philosophy, etiquette, and lifestyle was deeply damaged causing a great loss in the human conviction for virtue and respect.
Information vital to Chinese culture and history have been obliterated through the book burnings as well as the exile and execution of scholars during the revolution.
@MengoMango Confucianism paved the way for MOST of Asian culture. In China, no one even knows who he is anymore. The Chinese won't even acknowledge the book burnings and horrible things Mao did. He did more harm than good, in my opinion.... but according to the Chinese he's nearly a god-like figure. Embarrassing...
@ricpride Man, donnot spread the rumor... every one know him. But I agree that chinese are ruining the best part of the culture. You can understand that if you know the history of China. It is a country with long history, but it is also young compare with the western world which started the industrial evolution hundreds of years ago. The chinese think the western world is wealth, they want to learn but forget that the only way to earn respect is keep the tradition.
@beancube2010 Your comment confuses me... do you mean "when will they put some in technologies and science instead of into those western brain washing languages," ? When will WHO put WHAT in WHERE? I don't think English is your first language.
@alphatotheomega7 the story is about 2000years ago, but the music was composed about 200 years ago.the story about a war between Chu and Han,finally Chu lost, Chu king refused to go back his hometown and killed himself.i think the music can be separated into two part, first part discribe the war, second part is the king kill himself.so the first part is Passionate,second part sound like the king is struggling and finally killed himself in front of his queen..
I really love traditional music <3 I hope this kind of music gets more attention than electronic music because traditional music is really beautiful and need to maintain.
GOD gave every nation its own culture and traditions, each is unique and beautiful.My top three are irish ,chinese,and peruvian..There should be a world concert, to put all these marvels on display.
Impeccable performance and technique! One thing I have perceived though is that probably nowadays, those universities in China teaching the next generation of great musicians probably have emphasized very exaggerated body movements and expressions which may be more popular in the West, but traditionally, Chinese performers tend to have unexaggerated and elegant body movements. I guess the best approach is the merger of best attributes of different cultures, not copying another culture wholesale
Yeah, what is it with these body movements? I've seen concert flutist and quartet ensembles do these exaggerated extreme body movements for some reason. And now, I see Eastern musicians doing it as well. Why? Even Chinese Dizi players do it too. It's kind of distracting.
@Chichiri520 To put it simply, body movements help instrumentalists get into the music. Imagine how boring someone would look if they just stood there like a rock. With a lot of instruments, body movements actually make it much easier to bring out your own interpretation of the music. I play violin - it's significantly harder to play if I make myself stand completely still.
One of the best playing which I have seen. Tremendous control. What is more liked by most people is the histrionics..........many musicians know it. These are all classical music .......centuries old and great stuff...........hats off to the musician, the instrument, the music and the rendition..............
The reason (in my experience) that good talent often goes on ignored is that they concentrate entirely on being actually good at their art, whereas the ones portrayed in the media often spend their time and resources on networking and advertising. Sadly, it seems to be not what you know, but rather who you know that will decide the future of your career.
I like her sound and this style and the sound of the pipa for the most part, what is discerning to me and what I think @henryching93 is that if she did not practically ignore the bottom two strings (most will see this as the top two strings of this instrument, meaning the two deeper sounding strings) were practically not used at all. And That is the only thing that makes this music not widespread western music, is the negligence of the entire instrument being capable of sound. Tones, vibrations
I have listened to this a hundred and one times and it is so ,,,, so,,, magic, each time, such real quality. Words escape me on this description & comment, you need to weigh me for that.
@Vlaxitov Look at Bengladesh. They have the highest population density, and it doesn't work out to good for them. If you put every human in Texas, it won't work out good either. You have to realize the human race is to overpopulated. They talk about it every day on a whole buncha news channels, programs, and asociations.
The pipa is a beautiful instrument, and the skill and passion this woman has are incredible and show very clearly. You can really feel the story she's telling, even if you aren't quite sure what it's about.
@ninamarie222 。you should study more about China and the people within. the Chinese people is at the same level as the Jews,One thing different is the Jews are GOD's promise people...
@batia0121, I don't know if you are just mocking soopaflychic, but assuming that you are not, it's true that Indians believe that cows are sacred. However, if we're going to have to accept every other kind of foreign custom (while not in that particular foreign country), there will not be a lot that we CAN do since many cultures have conflicting beliefs.
Besides, this is a video about this beautiful music - why is there suddenly talk about eating habits?!
@RolandAxford How ignorant are you? There are many people other than Asians that do not understand English. There are people from Russia, Germany, Italy, Finland, France, Iceland, Sweden and MANY other countries that DON'T speak and/or understand English. I know I said that you should learn more about Asians before speaking about them. Now I think you should learn more about the WORLD before you say another word. You REALLY don't know what you are talking about. Do you even have a brain?
@bloodmoonblacksky In case no one told you, the song is called "The King doffs his armour.
There is also a second song in response to this song which I can't recall at this moment You should look on Amazon and download the song, if not the entire album by Liu Fang called "The Soul of the Pipa". Enjoy!!!
99.99% of the Chinese population eat pork, chickens, beef and fishes. I know because I was there 7 times the last 2 years and will visit again in January. What a small minority eat I do not know. Fyi, French gourmet restaurants do serve land snails which Chinese farmers feed ducks with. Many Americans here eat Possums and racoons. So learn before you talk irresponsibly.
just in case any one is still fuming over Rolandaxford comments, please be aware the poor dear is just a" world of warcwaft" kid, probly 14 and playing with you all.
@mouldyboats All three are better than YOU. Only an idiot would discredit or insult two rock gods to glorify an accomplished young pipa player who does not need dumbasses like you as fans. Fact is that all three are great in their own way.
@RolandAxford Asians and every other ethnicity are made in Gods image, you have no right to talk down on any ethnicity, you are no better than no one else as i am no better than you. Repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour while you are still living(if you are still living). Jesus died for the sins of humanity(Asians, Indians, people of African descent, and every other ethnicity, no man is superior to anyone else). Asians are beautiful people.
@RolandAxford I hope you know that not everyone in the world knows English. Also, I don't think ANY Asians would want to learn from you. Yes I know dogs have brains and they use it better than you.
Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. Why don't you just STFU and go get a life. Oh, wait, that's impossible. :/
@RolandAxford screw u RolandAxford, you don't have to insult the asians, i mean, look at the comments below, everyones pissed at you. You don't have to piss asians off cuz you won't gain any shit. You should give asians more repect dude.
Does China or Japan go on youtube videos and pronounce the race that is in the video "bestial" or "promiscuous"?
So let's get this right. Blacks are now substandard because of their supposed fucked up appearance.
In the western world, we generally accept people of all races. If you think asians do not know english and are unintelligent, let me just say that the chinese people where I live are the highest achievers, and speak english better than you, you fucked up shit pile.
You are the most prejudiced individual I have seen in my life. I can securely say that you are the typical white American that lived in the 1930's when they thought blacks were substandard. Move on, the world has advanced and sophisticated during the last century. I live in Canada where there is multiculturalism. What occurs when you mix minor genetic differences (not individual races) together? Racism? Hate? No we are all mature enough to understand that appearance doesn'tmatter

The pipa is a beautiful instrument, and the skill and passion this woman has are incredible and show very clearly. You can really feel the story she's telling, even if you aren't quite sure what it's about.

@batia0121, I don't know if you are just mocking soopaflychic, but assuming that you are not, it's true that Indians believe that cows are sacred. However, if we're going to have to accept every other kind of foreign custom (while not in that particular foreign country), there will not be a lot that we CAN do since many cultures have conflicting beliefs.
Besides, this is a video about this beautiful music - why is there suddenly talk about eating habits?!

@RolandAxford How ignorant are you? There are many people other than Asians that do not understand English. There are people from Russia, Germany, Italy, Finland, France, Iceland, Sweden and MANY other countries that DON'T speak and/or understand English. I know I said that you should learn more about Asians before speaking about them. Now I think you should learn more about the WORLD before you say another word. You REALLY don't know what you are talking about. Do you even have a brain?

@bloodmoonblacksky In case no one told you, the song is called "The King doffs his armour.
There is also a second song in response to this song which I can't recall at this moment You should look on Amazon and download the song, if not the entire album by Liu Fang called "The Soul of the Pipa". Enjoy!!!

99.99% of the Chinese population eat pork, chickens, beef and fishes. I know because I was there 7 times the last 2 years and will visit again in January. What a small minority eat I do not know. Fyi, French gourmet restaurants do serve land snails which Chinese farmers feed ducks with. Many Americans here eat Possums and racoons. So learn before you talk irresponsibly.
And listen to this great music!

@mouldyboats All three are better than YOU. Only an idiot would discredit or insult two rock gods to glorify an accomplished young pipa player who does not need dumbasses like you as fans. Fact is that all three are great in their own way.

@RolandAxford Asians and every other ethnicity are made in Gods image, you have no right to talk down on any ethnicity, you are no better than no one else as i am no better than you. Repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour while you are still living(if you are still living). Jesus died for the sins of humanity(Asians, Indians, people of African descent, and every other ethnicity, no man is superior to anyone else). Asians are beautiful people.

@RolandAxford I hope you know that not everyone in the world knows English. Also, I don't think ANY Asians would want to learn from you. Yes I know dogs have brains and they use it better than you.
Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. Why don't you just STFU and go get a life. Oh, wait, that's impossible. :/

@RolandAxford Idiot, on your stooopid profile, you mention : " Be the change you want to see in the world."
-Wentworth Miller, Prison Break, episode 1 season 1" ... ????
Its Mahatma Gandhi who said that.. So muchhh racism for asians and non white, and still you follow a quote by someone who is not white!
It shows how stupid you are.. I bet you live in a cave!

@RolandAxford
Does China or Japan go on youtube videos and pronounce the race that is in the video "bestial" or "promiscuous"?
So let's get this right. Blacks are now substandard because of their supposed fucked up appearance.
In the western world, we generally accept people of all races. If you think asians do not know english and are unintelligent, let me just say that the chinese people where I live are the highest achievers, and speak english better than you, you fucked up shit pile.

@RolandAxford Did you just step out of a time machine from 1880? Either way, you really need to catch up on the way the rest of the world thinks.

@RolandAxford
You are the most prejudiced individual I have seen in my life. I can securely say that you are the typical white American that lived in the 1930's when they thought blacks were substandard. Move on, the world has advanced and sophisticated during the last century. I live in Canada where there is multiculturalism. What occurs when you mix minor genetic differences (not individual races) together? Racism? Hate? No we are all mature enough to understand that appearance doesn'tmatter
