Its about a girl waiting for her lover. Though they haven't met much, she still fell in love with him. The poem describes her anxious feelings as well as her falling in love, while she waits for her lover to come back to her. Feeling as if three months has past just for one of of waiting.
We have lost all of the music from the Greeks. Only a drinking song remains from the Romans left on a tombstone. Here we have a love song resonating from the past. Authentic, ancient, coming from a Asian culture so rich in tradition and continuity.
The "Songs" are a collection of poems诗经/Classics of Poetry (that were sung) dating from the 11th to 7th centuries BC. you're confusing it with the dynasty Song宋, which is written with a different character in Chinese. Because the original melody that accompanies these poems were long lost partially due to the Confucian selection and also later mass massacre of scholars under the reign of the first Qin emperor, the melody used in this video were borrowed from the ones popular in Han dynasty. Basically the poem here predates the music it is set to. At first there were more than 3000 collected poems, Confucius decided only 300 were to be collected into his version and that became the standard. The "Burning of Books and burying of scholars" 213-210 BC during the Qin dynasty almost destroyed every written record of the poems and the library of history. But the 300 Confucian poems were so standardized that the later surviving scholars were able to write down all the poems by memory. Although it is debatable if there were alterations made to the poems during that process, it is believed that the scholars stayed true to the originals.
There are also Chinese music theory texts and tuning systems that can provide a glimpse into how ancient music or dialects and inflections actually sound, believe me you or most modern person would not be able to appreciate it lol, much like ancient Greek music, the scales sound completely foreign to modern ears, not even diatonic.
A song 3000 years ago. -the Book of Odes 《诗经--国风·郑风·子矜》 青青子矜， 悠悠我心。 纵我不往， 子宁不嗣音？ 青青子佩， 悠悠我思。 纵我不往， 子宁不来？ 挑兮达兮， 在城阙兮， 一日不见， 如三月兮。 Blue Blue Your Collar Blue blue your collar, sad sad my heart: though I do not go to you, why don't you send word? Blue blue your belt-stone, sad sad my thoughts: though I do not go to you, why don't you come? Restless, heedless, I walk the gate tower. One day not seeing you is three months long.
This really conjures up the stock character of a lonely noble woman pining away for her Lord. As you know, men could have multiple wives then. For example, he could have a true wife, and several concubines. The English translation is a bit strange. How can the lady pine for somebody she has never met? Did they have a written correspondence but never formally met with each other due to morality? Or perhaps she is court lady brought in to be a perspective bride to GH Emperor, but she never catches his eye from all the other women around him? Must be very lonely. The character 青 in the poem refers to the colours blue and green. This character doesn't distinguish between the two. In this way, there quite bit of repetition like in the rest of the composition. Pardon me if I'm wrong, but does this character also mean "clear"?
all music is beautifull really, even the african drums, but very few music styles have soul in them. A music with soul, no mater fast or slow, fluds you with feelings, it makes you wanna step up and dance. You maybe sad, ungry, happy, nomatter, you just wanna step up and dance, and you dance for you and you alone.
i am chinese, i am in dubai now. i am so sorry that i always feel that the foreigner have no exquisite inner world like chinese. but i feel deeply that we are same by your comment. you are sentimentality like us
Her song Jun Bu Jian 《君不见》 is my favorite and the MV is so simple but beautifully shot. Thanks for the caption, I was looking for a version to be pinned, so it is very helpful.
The color of the collar is neither: blue nor green. It is a little green that is added to the main color of blue. The Chinese call it: qing color Mainly there is no in English: the title qing color can only be translated into green by the author
Yeah i think this Video goes to that Movie's called " RedCliff2x " On Han Dynasty Clan...' the girls are cute too...' Remind Me this Girl from New Jersey Metuchen...' hahahaha lolz....' But i should say this Clip Video very Nice and Touchy and Beautiful and very Epic too !!! kinda like a Gothic Chinese Traditional Broken Heart and Heart Of Stone too...'
I have been trying to look for good chinese songs. It is very difficult. Gan en de xing, hou lai, fairy tale. This is one song that I will recommend in Paraguay
I meant in a format useful to me. As someone that is not fluent in Chinese, I do not know what those characters are, and if I need to copy them, I clearly can not from a RUclips video.
Actually, what is culture? Doesnt culture evolve all the time? Some parts of culture are naturally lost through the passage of time, don't they? But new things will come into being, and become part of that cultural identity. I think the chinese culture has flourished for so long, exactly because it has been able to adapt and change throughout the history. While some lament the loss of ancient culture, I do not necessarily see it as a bad thing.
This was a transcedental expirience for me! Beuteful! I like the simplicity and delicate nature of chinese poetry , also, but this orcestration and singing stygle gave a perfect wide and profound atmosphere to the whole thing! That shows how good things, no metter how old are they, can only be better in the future ! Thank you Kangtaer, for this clip, a lot! Greetings and kisses from Montenegro!
Ah well then it's a different topic. Huaxia civilizaition was not the only one in China at that time. Recent findings in Sanxingdui, Mawangdui and Xingan has revealed that cultures south of Yangzi river, which Chinese traditionally considered as "barbarians" were flourishing at the same level of sophistication as Huaxia culture. A big majority of Chinese culture didn't come from the Huaxia region...
Listening to this song is like time travelling to that Golden Age of China during the Han dynasty. You feel how peaceful life was and how people were much better spiritually, how life wasn't about getting more money and consuming. How people were traditional and had real human values, how they loved their family and peacefully worked all their life becoming wiser until you could take a break at an elderly age and drink tea while thinking about Confuscious' philosophical ideas. Just my opinion :)
And have you even heard of the lesson that every single Chinese child is taught? "A single arrow snaps easily, but a bundle will not". You can work "individually, I'll take the group.
The History of China is rich with mystery and for people who generalize, Japanese people and China are not the same. Two different cultures. Plus I still think China still doesn't like Japanese because of what they've done in Nanjing an Shanghai.(WWII)
If you know how the current Chinese policies privileged the minorities, in all aspects including education privileges, political access, population policy, and money compensations for the poor etc. You will never say that!!!!!!! The ethnics (people who are not Han), are enjoying so many many super policies to help them out of poverty, much much more than Hans enjoy.
I'm not justifying either massacre - both were horrific. I'm just pointing out the stupidity of hating a nationality due to it. It doesn't matter if it's a century or two centuries. Both shared common points. No, I'm not one of those radicals that want to separate Manchuria. Doing that is the same thing as separating Okinawa - neither side wants it to happen. Both were massacres that neither the Qing government nor Japanese government apologized for and that is what I was pointing out.
And is culture really lost? Sometimes I wonder: their notion of family and the state, the way that they quote phrases from 3000 years ago, the way they cite incidents that happened centuries ago to prove their points.
haha you call the zhou and qin barbarian? the zhou establish court music, fine clothes, the had a prince, a duke, who was the inspiration of confucius himself. Qin established bureaucracy and management that united, and expanded the civilization, even to far southern places where a Qin general named Zhao Tuo had to pacify it's native barbarians (i'm pretty sure you know where this place is). and btw, the Shaanxi area is part if the yellow river area aka huaxia culture.
i understand that you're from vietnam. well, all i have to say is that, many vietnamese believe they are the center of east asia, by associating the chinese with the northern nomadic people in mongolia and siberia, so that they can claim everything else south of it. and by extension, that's how vietnamese start claiming confucius' teachings, or chinese writings, or etc etc. classy lol.
To criticize Japan would also make you criticize the Manchurians, which doesn't make sense as most Manchus did not take part of the massacres of Han chinese. The demotion of Prince Dodo (one of the direct commander during) was because of his suspected attempt to usurp the throne, not because of the massacre. In the end, he got promoted again by Qianlong. The simple number of victims during the massacre in a period without modern weapons should tell you how more twisted the Qing manchus were.
Its about a girl waiting for her lover. Though they haven't met much, she still fell in love with him. The poem describes her anxious feelings as well as her falling in love, while she waits for her lover to come back to her. Feeling as if three months has past just for one of of waiting.
Still a masterpiece. Watched this 10 years ago and am still enchanted today :) Thank you for sharing this.
We have lost all of the music from the Greeks. Only a drinking song remains from the Romans left on a tombstone. Here we have a love song resonating from the past. Authentic, ancient, coming from a Asian culture so rich in tradition and continuity.

WOW its a beautifull song..

This makes me want to go back to this country. China was a lovely country.
"was" ? :D
Still is XD There's just a lot of new laws that confuse me there now.
夜深人靜時聆聽特別有感覺 令人發思古之幽情
Amazingly beautiful! Chinese culture is absolutely beautiful! !!!!
What a strange climate on this page for such a calm, beautiful music!
A song 3000 years ago.
-the Book of Odes
《诗经--国风·郑风·子矜》
青青子矜，
悠悠我心。
纵我不往，
子宁不嗣音？
青青子佩，
悠悠我思。
纵我不往，
子宁不来？
挑兮达兮，
在城阙兮，
一日不见，
如三月兮。
Blue Blue Your Collar
Blue blue your collar,
sad sad my heart:
though I do not go to you,
why don't you send word?
Blue blue your belt-stone,
sad sad my thoughts:
though I do not go to you,
why don't you come?
Restless, heedless,
I walk the gate tower.
One day not seeing you
is three months long.
Wu Jintao thank you very very much for your translation. Beautiful poetry and melody

你那青青的衣领，我悠悠牵挂的心。即使我不去找你，难道你就不给我消息了吗
你那青青的佩玉，我悠悠思念在怀。即使我不去找你，怎么你就不肯来找我呢？
我走来踱去多少趟啊，在这城门的楼台上。一天不能见到你啊，漫长得就像三个月一样。
I do it at university for the same reason, so many job opportunities as an added incentive. 你试一试！
My Chinese friends would drag me along to their Karoke sessions it is an odd sight seeing a black, white and Chinese men getting into Chinese songs
This is a segment from a live show at the Confucius Temple. The credits are for the whole production.

Awesome song,i was so in to it

The color of the collar is neither: blue nor green. It is a little green that is added to the main color of blue.

诗经本来就是用来唱的--
古人留下的最纯正的文化
What are the lyrics to this son in pin yin. I have to know for my chinese class. Plus i like this song.
这歌词都能翻译成英文？？我真是服了。。
Whats the name of the music piece at the credits? Its also so beautiful.
希望再接再厲
And have you even heard of the lesson that every single Chinese child is taught? "A single arrow snaps easily, but a bundle will not". You can work "individually, I'll take the group.
I had to look at the credits just to figure out the singer is Ha Hui and the director Li Guang 🤦
*O* ¡A China deve ser muito contente pela cultura & visão de vida pura & milenar, que nenhum outro lugar no mundo tem! \O/
非常赞成你的说法，我是广东梅州客家，族谱载，春秋战国后期，自齐国迁至吴国，（今江苏一带），宋朝时，因蒙古入侵，再迁到福建，朱元璋兴兵时，再迁到广东，，个人觉得，用客家话读古词经比用闽南语，粤语更有韵味。...................................................
+holik ho 得了吧,族谱还有追溯的三皇五帝的.你真信?大部分中国人的族谱实际上始于明代
错得离谱，虽然我对族谱没有太研究，但也知道，孔家的族谱一直是没断过的，而且现代族谱的录入形式是基于宋朝的，没多大改变，唐朝官方也修过大唐氏族志，我虽然不能证明族谱起源于什么时候，但证明族谱始于明代是错误的还是可以的。
Would you guys like too still have royalty in china or do you prefer it being a republic??
Where can I see the lyrics for this song in Chinese Characters and English?
@LAA2198 Actually the girl is complaining about his not seeing her, for that she has been waiting for so long.
The History of China is rich with mystery and for people who generalize, Japanese people and China are not the same. Two different cultures. Plus I still think China still doesn't like Japanese because of what they've done in Nanjing an Shanghai.(WWII)
The hay of Music is a Pleasure of the Myth. 簫莊漱 閒挀-( 昸十 ).

If you know how the current Chinese policies privileged the minorities, in all aspects including education privileges, political access, population policy, and money compensations for the poor etc. You will never say that!!!!!!! The ethnics (people who are not Han), are enjoying so many many super policies to help them out of poverty, much much more than Hans enjoy.
I know word for word
诗经起源与民间，但在周代后期已成为宫廷音乐。比如左传里记载那个时候王公贵族宴会的时候，都是主人先从诗经里选一段唱出来作为礼节，然后客人在选一段对应的作为回礼，这些就是中国特有的礼乐文化。当然这个MV有点过于浮夸。
So, It's base on The Han Dynasty??
How??
Whats this song about???
I love it would like to know what it is about and the meaning to the song
Please let me know :)
THANKSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

诗经分有风、雅、颂三篇，只有风是民歌，雅是宫廷诗歌，颂是祭祀诗歌

What’s the name of the song that starts at 6:20 ?
这首歌的名字是什么，从 6:20 开始？

And is culture really lost? Sometimes I wonder: their notion of family and the state, the way that they quote phrases from 3000 years ago, the way they cite incidents that happened centuries ago to prove their points.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
诗经啥时候变成汉代的了。

i understand that you're from vietnam. well, all i have to say is that, many vietnamese believe they are the center of east asia, by associating the chinese with the northern nomadic people in mongolia and siberia, so that they can claim everything else south of it. and by extension, that's how vietnamese start claiming confucius' teachings, or chinese writings, or etc etc.
classy lol.
I don't claim anything, but the real cutural craddle of China shifted to southern provinces about 1000 years ago.
I swear there can't be anything nice on RUclips without people starting pointless (and endless) arguments
