Horse Racing 赛马 (Sai Ma)

[lovelingjoe]

Whenever i try to watch this video i get an error :(

[EX2296]

this fight is probably the stupidest shit i ever seen in the history of youtube fights...

[frankdoviolao]

Exiting!

[TheWisestOne]

This is one impressive playing of the song. I play the Er Hu as well, and I can easily vouch for the difficulty of this piece. I'm almost sure one can see that it isn't one easy piece to play. This performer did a fantastic job.

[theavengerseries]

very nice. if only the recording was louder!

[OctoBox]

She is adorable - what is she like 12?

[pcf180]

In my opnion, the horse neighing in the sai ma piece determines your skill. No horse neighing, is like no lum pah.

[tstalsby509]

我的句子可以（也可能）不都好... 意思是 "一定都错"，哈我的句子可以（也可能）不都好... 意思是 "一定都错"，哈.....

[donnamatch225]

你在说啥，我每个字都知道，怎么串在一起就完全不懂了？真厉害

[aaroncurley]

i love Chinese music with 90's theme because it brings me back to those times when I am discovering the beauty of Chinese culture.

J'adore le kungfu, Li Gong :) ... et... Katy Pu! ^_^

Comment va-t-elle?... Ou comment "vas-tu"? Si tu lis ce commentaire, Katy... ;)

J'adore l'erhu! Est-ce que _elle/tu_ en joue(s) encore?

Mais... j'ai un énorme problème: Où puis-je écouter un autre morceau _d'elle/de toi? :_l

J'ai mille espoirs d'avoir une réponse... :_)

Je vous supplie... je me prosterne... s'il vous plaît, répondez! :D

[AiGongFuYeGongLi]

啊!!!! :D

(嘿嘿，我是法国人，就，对不起，我的中文不太好.)

我爱功夫（武术），巩俐 :) ... 也爱... Katy Pu ! ^_^

我很喜欢二胡！还_她/妳_演奏的它吗？

但是。。。我有一个巨的问题：我可以听另一个_他/你_的曲在哪­里？:_l

万望我有回信... :_)

我求你们了... 我五体投地... 请问，回信吧！:D

PS: 我这个录像已经看过了三百次！（起码！！！）

[hamanunu]

一个巨的问题 -.-|||

[kurenaisama]

She's good~

[purebloodlynn]

it could be faster, but she's good for her age! the erhu is a difficult instrument to master...

[bamajedisplinter]

that girl is amAZING. I can only imagine what she'll sound like when she's 20 and still playing. nice work

[tommyk77]

i have a really good recording out a group of erhu players playing this. it's for chinese orchestra the one i have. not MIDI lol

[ghkj2]

i can play that (no really i can!) it my favorite song to play

[spellmaster91]

On this instrument?

[ghkj2]

yep! (but to tell you the truth i play in a group so umm fast? well we play a tad bit slower (oh and ares note are a tad bit different

[z4opv13]

this song is so easy. i just performed 桃花過渡 recently as well as 奔驰在千里草原 in vancouver at Michael J. Fox Theatre.

[zarie246]

cute!

[AiGongFuYeGongLi]

棒得很! 我热爱 :)

[bobthebox]

Wow, she's good.

[karos9]

IS SHE TRYING TO START A FIRE WITH THOSE STICKS?What do I know, still dont have a clue what this has to do with horse racing, sorry about misspelling Alfred,but again nothing to do with nothing.

[fobbyrice]

this is a really famous solo song called racing horses on the traditional chinese instrument called the erhu. this song, is a piece about racing horses in mongolia in open fields. this big tradition has been done for thousands of years. the song is to immitate the horses. this is a tradition way older than what you were looking for.

[karos9]

thanks fobbyrice, I now know, I dont know how I could have offended all these furgin Ice Holes? All you pricks had to do was tell me, by the way I own race horses and if you bring those sticks around my barn, I'll call security.

[zhaopeiyu]

ignorance... hope you fall off one of those "horses"

[karos9]

whatever, you really hope I fall because I didnt understand your horse racing song? Sorry man..

[zhaopeiyu]

nah not really but next time just STFU before you open your mouth about something you admit that you dont understand.

[karos9]

No I hope my horse shits on one of you little fucking shit people, ok fuckfaces!

[zhaopeiyu]

there you go the little fucker is a racist. Should have guessed. Go fuck yourself troll.

[Aaron2071]

ok, from what I hear, both of you are in the wrong. You should both respect each other and should have enough descency to privately send messages to each other if you HAVE to fight, and spare us the misfortune of having to hear you two argue.

[Aaron2071]

ok, nevermind lol. It seems I got the names mixed up lol. Ok, Zhaopeiyu didn't do anything wrong, but Karos9 did. Sorry Zhaopeiyu, I misunderstood the sentence and at first thought YOU were saying the Erhu is just a bunch of "sticks".

[karos9]

I agree I never wanted to fight, I love horse racing so I asked about "What does this have to do with Horse racing?" Simple innocent question right. Wrong! It's like I attacked Asia, screw them and there gay musical instrument, this has nothing to do with horse racing my village idiot asians! Morons! So sorry Aaron but I had to clear the air.

[TenshiB]

Karos9:I am a white from the state of Georgia; albeit that I've graduated highschool and in and out of college, if you don't get it, you simply DON'TGETIT! Now, I'm going to give you a thumbs UP to keep your little comment from collapse. But you must understand, Chinese music is about the FEELING, not lyrics or any bullshit like that. If you can't close your eyes and hear the horses galloping hooves in this song and get a better picture: then you are simply a DUMBASS:&IBEGTHENEXT2THUMBSDOW­NHIM!

[karos9]

thanks tenshi, but if you pull the plug on me I really wouldnt care. I still cant even visualize this little stick toy there rubbing to class it with the power of horse racing. I own 32 race horses and sorry this does not make me think of the jockey and most significantly my Horse. Here comes that last minus dont worry about it pull of the plug!

[TenshiB]

HAH! Well I'm glad that you got that "plug" pulled. It's all cool and good of the expensive stuff that you own.. And also of how well you "know horse racing". I, for one, know nothing about horse racing except it's a buncha crap that lasts two minutes. OK: so from your angle, you're worried about horses and racing.. but from most others' perspectives it is about the music.

And by-the-way 32 of those "little stick toy(s)" would probably cost twice as much as your "powerful" 2 minute horses.

[karos9]

Tenshi if you only knew Bro how much they cost, matter of fact sometimes I wish I picked up on this "little stick toy" instead of a 1,200 pd beast that just absorbs bill after bill. Message me sometime if you ever plan on going to any track in the U.S I'll fill you in a little, take care man.

"Parree Jun abar"

Which in Armenian means may your road in life always be in Peace.

Karos...

[dudxdude]

Karos9:

You are one of those people who "knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing."

[karos9]

Deep,real deap! Can someone translate dudx please,I have no idea what you are saying Socrates.

[JohnByeBye]

This coming from someone who uses the word "deap."

[TenshiB]

OK.. Man this has been months ago, and months ago Karos9 has said his piece and ALSO has made his peace. Karos, I appreciate your offer to inform me on horse racing should I attend one. I will make sure to message you if I go to one. I can tell you that I haven't thumbdowned any one of your comments and as far as I am concerned, you're cool. I understood from this past comment that you meant no harm.

May all your endeavors in life be successful.

-Tenshi

[karos9]

THANK YOU TENSHI ANYTIME YOUR GOING TO ANY TRACK IN U.S LET ME KNOW. Message me and I'll give you what ever info I have at that track hopefully one of my horses is running that day. Thanks again for being cool.

Karo

[almisriyyah72]

wow, your very rude

[tijuanais1]

you gay man

[karos9]

your gay for playing with sticks and making gay music. Ya I'm gay?

[tijuanais1]

playing music with sticks?

[karos9]

By the way that wasnt me that gave you the minus. Sorry tijuan one of your people gave you a minus.

[slipthejab]

lol... you fail the internet. Just kill yourself.

[karos9]

What the hell are you saying?! I've gotta be the odd man out here, dont worry I'll never say anything more on this Alford Hitchcock sight again!!

[kawaicheong]

wow... you are odd.. Dude... its Alfred Hitchcock. Learn how to spell before you type another word here.

[bobthebox]

Agreed. Also, ALFRED HITCHCOCK IS AWESOME!

[kawaicheong]

the title of the song in chinese is sai ma.. which means horse racing... bodoh...by the way, that means stupid in malay.

[LoveMagicAngel]

you don't know? try to listen it better!

[xiuqin24]

应该还可以拉得更快些。加油，小妹妹！！！

[FantasyBuss]

amazing @_@

[moremusicale]

This girl has a very graceful stage presence. Wonderful!

[mexterminator]

its hard to hear because of the synth music in the back round.

[AbsinthianEnvy]

I am so going to learn how to play that shit.

[alexlam1994]

Wow...so young

[bonapartist]

Wow, that is a ridiculous instrument.

[kawaicheong]

what you say is truly ridiculous... its a beautiful instrument.

[thunderdragon14]

lemme pause the video for a sec I have to pick my jaw up off the floor *****

[KLTrack]

oh this girl plays the erhu so good, it's so impressive

[waterisnice]

HOLY SH*T D: she's amazing

[loiguongyen]

[pri32us]

[skyblue2296]

[nataliechristine]

[phamducthanh]

[themoroccanqing]

duo xie

[0pioid]

good stuff

[radioactive23]

very good for her age...rising talent...

[isocrate27]

That's better than the Rolling Stone or U2

[kaygodoito]

China was world's undisputed cultural marvel (and also the world's most powerful empire) in the pre-renaissance era. The erhu is a proof. Thank you for posting this. And thank you to Katy Pu for continuing to uphold a beautiful instrument like the erhu. Thank you very much.

[thunderdragon14]

amazing

[sasakiruno]

Oh this song I played it before on my erhu...it was hecka fast but i still had to keep balance

[nzmsba]

G R E A T little !!

[luvchoc4]

yeah!

[colorak]

Mao prefered piece,

[firex241]

I heard this from my schoolmate before =) He got first for solo Erhu in Singapore (16 years)

There was a part where he could produce the sound of the horse neighing by stroking the strings with the bow... That part was absolutely majestic!

Maybe this little girl can do it next time =)

[hsghsgha]

Very well done! Do you ever visit Idaho? :o)

[luvchoc4]

nope

[sharksfinhuhaha]

it would have sounded nicer with a yang qin accompaniment as compared to a recorded music. but good speed i must say. =)

[daryldkyz]

pitching please???

[elyncn80]

horse racing is famous for decribing the active and crowded atmosphere

[azaza618]

OMG

this is like....a first grader girl....0.0

[luvchoc4]

actually...5th grade

[ooiyy85]

it is Good.. i bearly hear any picthing, but at the end of the "sai ma" she din make dat horse's sound perfectly.. but is not bad for the age like this. Keep up the good job girl..

[ecirevol]

the two strings never touch the board. they're tautly suspended a few centimeters in front of the wood, and you just press down on the string with your finger to shorten the length of string that vibrates. you'd snap the erhu if you pressed the strings all the way back to the wood.

[nitsuaninja]

i thought this was very good.... your so young...

[xXz3g3b1b1Xx]

the 'mi' tone in the beginning is distinctly off

[10holmeskd1]

I can explain, you see the Er Hu uses the same do re mi thing except it is just memorized position because the sound could vary on different songs

[fiddlefeind18]

An erhu has a long roundish neck and one single string that is pressed with the fingers of the left hand. Kind of like a one stringed chinese cello. haha, that girl is GOOD

[scezumin]

Erhus have two strings and a bow that goes between them, fiddlefiend.

[azaza618]

you mean 2 strings...

[Strad015]

while most have two strings, there are one string versions available occasionally

[SicSeb]

Or do the strings only needed to be touched with the fingers?

[SicSeb]

I'm still wondering how it works, it doesn't have a fretboard. Can somebody explain?

[nitsuaninja]

it is just like a violin and you have to memorize the positions in order to get notes that are on the european scale {or notes that exsist}

[SicSeb]

So you pin the strings between your fingers and something of hardwood to shorten or lengthen the string? Whatever note you want...

Cause it doesn't look like it has a hardwoodboard xD

But thank you very much for your reply, it was very helpful.

[nitsuaninja]

no problem but ya... it is just pinched against the wood cause the lengthe to become shorter making a higher pitch

[JcDizon]

cool

[brianathome]

Great stuff

[MiguelitoSan]

It's amazing how proficient they are at such a young age.

[starriepuppy]

She is so good! The outfit is very nice too!

[Saphir8]

[naturalrider]

Wow! Very good, well done! Pretty outfit too!

[alladinmoua]

The 12 Girls Band also have this song on one of their CDs.

[ramesses88]

That's fantastic!

Is that a western bow she's using? If it isn't it looks very similar.

I may consider buying an Erhu.

[galaxyyouth]

The erhu bow is similar in design to a western violin bow.

[xiuxiu94]

like double bass bow?

[kendramargaret]

AWESOME!!! It sounds just like the Barrage version! That little girl is amazing!!

[Ares22]

amazing! I'm learning erhu too!!!

[Jackoo]

[tamlac00]

Wow I wish I could play the Erhu. Childhood favourite for its depressing sound

[skoobidooska]

[SharonFoo]

[XieXie3]

I want to learn how to play that instrument. It would have been perfect if she played louder. That's just me, but she's amazing. I give her a 10 out of 10.
