Loved everything about this video, but especially the "Chinese Rap" at the end. It finally MAKES SENSE to my students how the clappers can accompany poetry.
Recently, I have been watching a lot of historical Chinese dramas and have become fascinated with the drum sound that is occasiinally played in the dramas. It's usually played when a scene has become more dramatic or change to a scene that is more intense. The four treasures appears to be the instrument that most closely mimics the drum sound except in the film the sound is slightly deeper/more base (just slight. Possibly, it's the room its being recorded in, which gives it more texture, its almost hollow like). The Four Treasures, this would also explain the change in speed that occurs in the dramas. Sometimes it's very short slow claps, which are quickly followed by rapid claps that then fade. The sound really adds to the scene and one my favourite compoenents of the Chinese historical drama. Thank you very much. This has been a great lesson
I just found your channel. Thank you SO MUCH!!! My middle and high school World Music classes are just wrapping up our China unit and these videos are a perfect compliment, validation, and deepening of what we've been learning. Next time I teach this class, I will incorporate more of what I have learned from your channel. Thank you again, the timing couldn't have been more perfect!
The lady is beautiful and elegant and the grandpa with his rap is cute and adorable. I loved this!

The guy at the end reminded me of performance in Appalachia, or United States Country Western music. Does any one else see that, too?
Thank you for this series. As an elementary music teacher, these videos allow me to accurately study Chinese culture with my students.

Hi, if you have more questions about the "four treasure", the Chinese clappers, please send us your questions to ccmc@mtsu.edu.
Did anyone notice the smiling face hanging on the wall right of tbe lady? 😁
Hahaha. Yes, we did. That is a Chinese lute called ruan.
@@mtsucenterforchinesemusic thank you for telling me, and thank you for this beautiful video: I am an admirer of the chinese culture
那位老师叫什么名字？
视频里这位吗？韩梅博士
如果你问的是说快板书的那位，他是王健博士，英文是Jan Walls。
老师，这个就是说书/唱戏用的快板吗？
我在这集中介绍了几种不同的板。不知你指的是哪一个？如果你告诉我你指的那个是在视频中哪里出现（几分几秒），我可以进一步解释给你。
@@mtsucenterforchinesemusic 谢谢，老师，4:01，我见过快板就是说书讲故事时候用的，还有就是北方好像有一种二人地方戏里也有用，两块小竹板用一个线穿在在一起。这种多个木板在一起的是用在哪种曲艺表演中？2:23秒的这种板是用在哪里？
@@sY-he3bz 是的，这就是北方的快板。
