[asilswal]

mann i just think dat i have strong connection with CHINA even though m an indian bt still..This music is purely soothing..I Love to come to China once :)

[MusicTraditional]

Amazing! Thanx for posting it.

[mafoota]

I love this! So many similarities to western folk music but with that unmistakable Chinese twist.

[smalltins]

The instrument is called a koto or chinese harp. It is 24 string harp which is tuned in a acending major pentonic scale.

[ytcomposer]

@smalltins: erp... Guzheng, actually. The koto looke like a guzheng, but the koto is a Japanese instrument that sounds a little more like a guitar. I LOVE this song, though. Thanks for uploading this!

[dean12345123]

@smalltins This instrument is in fact not the Koto. The koto is the Japanese adaptation of the 'Guzheng' (transliterated) ortherwise known as the Chinese Zither, whereas this IS the Guzheng. Although both are played with 'claws'/picks, they are two entire different instruments with differing intervals between each string. PS: there may have been some negative Japanese bias in my comment, but I can't help but clarify the difference. Some may disagree.

[smalltins]

@dean12345123 i think your right man, i stand corrected

[F0reseer]

@MultiDev101 It's an instrument shared by all countries in the Chinese Cultural Sphere. it's chinese in origin but spread to Korea. This variety is Chinese. Japan, korea, Vietnam, all have versions of this instrument.

[Balisong72]

this looks hard and a little painful to play. Is a pick used? It sounds fantastic

[Balisong72]

I am speechless

[commndG]

This is the first time I have seen anyone play this instrument, Really beautiful and you look to be enjoying playing to.

It sponds like a mixture of a Harp & Mandolin

[Jimm9349]

Good performance. I think I've heard this one somewhere before.

[Potoff76]

@truexgunnerxchronica this instrument is called "Gu Zheng" or "Guzheng" (古箏), ancient zither.

[jimanHK]

i lvoe Chinese women:)

[ivkekosovo]

I love Chinese culture,arhitecture and music!!!Such a beautiful nation,until the europeans and americans brought pain and suffering!!!

[Arissef]

They have resisted very successfully and culturally remained intact. Alas there are so many cultures that have indeed been destroyed ...

[ivkekosovo]

yes so many,the Native American culture for example...

[yourboycal]

@Arissef thats because there government tries hard to surpress information and keep them locked up as much as they can. Is exploitation of cheap labour amongest its own citizens a good culture or a salve one? The beauty in the music they have is there only excape for the horrers of life in china

[addictedtomusiq]

These are amazing images from the Wild China BBC documentary with the yi dance piece (pipa, gu zheng and erhu)

I hope you'll like it as i loved to make it

[skopskomk]

i can clearly see where bon jovi got inspired for the 'young guns' movie opening theme, the famous 'blaze of glory' song...

[anilkumarin4]

yaaa is good music very attractive ,,thank you for posting this

[brokenclayvessal]

Beautiful. Thank you for posting this.

[Philippbahrami]

[YipHouseofQin]

guzheng

[cowboystitching]

It's a guzheng, a yang qin is a hammered dulcimer.

[happyey]

Wonderful performance! I really really love Chinese music. I love my country!!! =]

[bremenavron21]

is it just me, or is Chinese music strangely transfixing.

[shazam15]

why the thumbs down? transfixing is a good thing.

[ReikaiDemon]

Oh, it's just that the majority of youtubers have bad vocabulary, and get easily offended at big words.

[lukauskis]

wonderful. wife should play that for me befoure sleep :D

[RATLOVIN900]

Ya I was in China in 06 with my high school choir and we had this kind of thing played for us in a restaurant we went to. It was AWESOME!!!! I LOVE the Chinese people, they have such a rich culture. They are really nice over their too :)

[GavenRocker]

[PokalbiaiSuVarpuciu]

great succes

[theothersephiroth]

This is such a pleasant song. :)

[misterfag01]

this instrument is very hard to play. you have to be graceful to do it, and move fluidly as well.

[maishah123]

i love chinese folk music

[RaafRaven]

nice, love it.

[arcticmfan09]

amazing

[Wiselala]

Guzheng is such a lovely interment!

[daswied]

beautiful music

[smalltins]

The instrument has 24 strings all tuned to a major pentonic scale.The instrument is actually very light as it is hollow.Its a very beautiful device to play.

[Strawberryhit]

i love chinese folk music too...relaxes your tention

[GuitarSource]

I wonder how the scale translates in Western Music. Some of it sounds pentatonic.

[RahsaansBiggestFan]

Yes, most Chinese music pentatonic. It is kind of ditonal, and I often find it hard tell if its pentatonic major or minor.

[lissame73]

beautiful

[gohar50]

relaxing mks me wanna go sleep

[ratonL]

WOW...Increbidle......  :)

[Arissef]

This instruments looks and sounds very similar to KANKLES, a traditional Lithuanian chordophone (plucked string musical instrument). Our folk music is different, though.

There's nothing like Chinese folk music! It's like meditation music :-)

[Loscamilitos]

hmm lithuanian i am interested in folk music so i would like to know if you could provide me with info about lithuanian music, you know, structures, rythms, dunno, things that would make me know when to go hey that's lithuanian music

[Vampgurl184]

I KNOW! but i love how it seems to tell a story about the land's beauty and love. don't you?

[withindarkness]

It s a Koto. Very similar to the hammered dulcimer as well, except it is usually plucked.

[thefamilyman]

this is a guzheng (古筝).

A koto is a Japaneses variant of this instrument but is basically the same.

[dogegg2007]

彈得好棒!

[smalltins]

I dont know what it is called. It is a traditional piece about a water fall.Sorry I cant give any more info

[iceanimator]

its call xue shan chun xiao. If im not wrong.

[tweenz4eva]

@smalltins it's a chinese harp.

[carrow023]

WHAT MUSIC IS THIS???PLZ ANSWER!!!

[smalltins]

This still makes the hair on my neck stand up, I love the traditional Chinese Music. Plus they were dressd in traditional silk clothes. What I love about Chinese culture is that they embrace there past and keep the traditions alive. You can get a real flavour of the past.

[kmaaag]
