first part of the lyrics was written by a well known philosopher at least 2500 years ago, the second part was written by the greatest poet in Chinese history who lived 1500 year ago. and Christine wrote the third part and made this a perfect song.
Happy Jade Birch The first part is literally the beginning of the song. The second part starts at about 1:47. Her own lyrics are the chorus and the part starting at 3:17. She starts quoting Zhuanzi, the author of the first part, again during the fast part/rap during the bridge, and she finishes the song by quoting Li Bai, the author of the second part (you can see at the end when she starts quoting Li Bai, the Chinese characters turn gold).
The butterfly proverb was my favorite way to respond to my parents growing up. I"m so glad someone made a song about it. The recursive nature of the philosophical argument of two people not being each other so they can't fully qualify the expertise of a statement. You arent me so how do you know I dont understand you...You arent me so how do YOU know I dont know you dont know that I know you dont know ....
We need more talents like her to bridge the gap between two of the greatest countries in the world. I hope we can set political difference aside and march towards a bright future where we can all coexist.
I heard this song before. but when knew the original singer is a American girl, that shocked me a lot. amazing. amazing tone. amazing worfs. and amazing soul inside. she is better on Chinese than a lot of Chinese. not even on singing. just go. love you 克莉丝汀！
Can't find a proper word to describe how amazing Christine is, just perfect! For people who don't know the context because it's written in Chinese, as an American girl she wrote the lyrics all by herself in which she quoted ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi (even as a Chinese I have to rely on the English version lyrics to understand the exact meaning...), and the Chinese lyrics are written so beautifully that its poetic beauty just fits the melody. She can't get it so perfectly if she doesn't have the deep understanding of the original Zhuangzi. Even more, in this version, she added Rap to the song and the wording in her Rap part is written in ancient Chinese style and that's just awesome, not to mention how perfectly match the ancient Chinese wording is with the rhythm of the Rap! What a talent she is!!! with such a great song!!! Listen over and over again now
I didn't even understand the meaning of the song until subtitles, however prior to knowing the lyrics, I would listen to it all the time, it's the rhythm of the song and the emotions it carries. Now I know the words it's made the song all the more beautiful!! ❤️😍
THANK YOU!!!! Thank you CGTN for putting in the English subtitles. I plan to show the original video in my Chinese class and was wondering how distracting it would be for me to translate the song bit by bit. Now, the students can understand and enjoy the song so much better!
This is the one of the best song in this whole world, it’s a complete art the kind of lyrics and song that makes you instantly fall in love with, relax smooth
So....... Who is the one who decided to give it a thumbs down..... 🤔..... Jealous....!!!!! Go Christine ... Don't stop...... Keep singing beautiful stuff such as that....... 👍👍👍👍👍
@@SoldierofGodAki uh it's anyone who doesnt support Communists that kill Falun Gong, Over fish, Organ Harvest people, and oppress religious groups. CCP is an enemy to mankind.
Although everyone knows her song better than she does. But none of these will stop people from loving her song and her person. The Chinese people have accepted her completely，plz continue to work hard. You will become the superstar.
Why isn't there a standing ovation for such spectacular performance?! I would certainly be the first to stand especially after the rap and also the performance! Love from Malaysia.
This song is just as beautiful as the singer! Thank you for appreciating and sharing your understanding of our deep root Chinese culture and literature !
Excellent work Christine. I envy you and realize i have thousands of gongli to go in learning Chinese. And let's not even talk about my singing. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Thật không biết phải nói gì luôn. Cô ấy quá tuyệt vời và tài giỏi. Cái điển tích Đạo giáo 2500 năm trước nhiều người Trung Quốc còn chưa chắc đã hiểu nổi mà đây một người Mỹ học tiếng Trung lại có thể nghiên cứu và thấm nhuần sâu sắc đến như vậy. Cái cô ấy đang diễn đạt cũng không phải là tiếng Trung hiện đại ngày nay mà là tiếng Trung cổ đại hóc búa vốn luôn là thách thức đối với người nước ngoài.
On the highway, when I heard the climax of the song, I felt like I was in love. When I turned my head and looked at the co pilot, only myself, I suddenly accelerated 200 km / s. I decided to give the song 88 points and the rest to the traffic police 🤔🤔
Mandarin can be romantic like French, straight forward like German, and hideous like English. It is like water. But you have to know how to use mandarin.
Unbelievable song ..she is very talented and very good singing too..I am touched listening to this song, even though I don't really know meaning(I know there is subtitle, but i was focus on listening only).. poems and the lyrics, that she added to it, are both very beautiful
There are a lot of Westerners that fed up with the crazy none sense American lifestyle. You will be shocked when you see so many Westerner people fluently in a foreign language.

@@happyjadeb--ngochoatg1090 ziran was right the golden lyrics are quotes
@Mohan Sandal so what? racist :)
Wow! And who are these poets!
The poet (Li Bai) would never imagine his poem was sang so beautifully by a foreigner and loved by all after 1000 years.

unfortunely murica regime doesn't want it.
Maybe not so much of Chinese feel animosity toward American but American percepted differently than Chinese are.
The addition of naming enemy will not end soon
I hope mutual cooperation ala 'The Martian' becomes reality and not remain as fiction.
@@kopyorduren5835 yea，america doesnt want it
Christine knows more Chinese classical literature than most of the Chinese. And she can sings...bravo!
Ahhh I'm so jealous. She's so fluent in Chinese. I'm overseas Chinese and luckily there were subtitles... Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
的确，我一个中国人知道的确实没她多，她非常棒
To be honest, almost every Chinese at least heard of庄周梦蝶.
@S. Young hear, hear!
you are damn right,i have to read the english subtitles in order to be able to understand the chinese lyrics. lol

I discovered this song today it's 5 am and can't stop replaying it..definitely a piece of ART ♡♡♡♡
Imane starlight me too! Just so beautiful! I replayed that for at least 5 times!

Really beautiful! The story is from a 2500 years old Chinese philosopher! Love you great girl to share ancient Chinese culture!
The lyrics is out of the world it made me cry
This is the one of the best song in this whole world, it’s a complete art the kind of lyrics and song that makes you instantly fall in love with, relax smooth
Asuch beautiful song based on ancient Chinese philosophy ... Deep understanding of Chinese culture and philosophy
Listening from Philippines 2022 🥰💞
Can i cry?? This song is so beautiful!
I am also very excited and want to cry!! If I listen to this song live, I will burst into tears!!!
Beautiful song and beautiful voice. She knows the classics better than most Chinese nowadays.
Been a year searching for this song and finally I found it,Mesmerizing and just Amazing 😻
So....... Who is the one who decided to give it a thumbs down..... 🤔..... Jealous....!!!!!
Go Christine ... Don't stop...... Keep singing beautiful stuff such as that....... 👍👍👍👍👍
or people that dont support the CCP?
The people of America
Cultural appropriation isn‘t appreciated anywhere in the world
@@SoldierofGodAki uh it's anyone who doesnt support Communists that kill Falun Gong, Over fish, Organ Harvest people, and oppress religious groups. CCP is an enemy to mankind.
They're vision might just be blurry due to crying listening to this song and thus, they pressed the wrong button.
Something deep and meaningful that preforms as a pop song. Good balance of new modern and ancient philosophy, love it. Well done Miss Christine.
No one can deny dedication, hard work, & application of talent. Like they say the cream just have a way to rise to the top.
佩服，我無法做到。她能填詞且用典巧妙、搭配中文音韻，還能唱出中文的韻味。
我無法，無論用英文或中文做到這個程度。
讚嘆她的多元天賦(與努力)。
演唱者是熱愛中華文化的美國人克麗絲叮(她已經是中文系博士班)。這麼優秀的作品讓不少受到去中國化教改荼毒的臺灣年輕人感嘆，原來現在臺灣年輕人不但英文不好而且連中文也不好。

I was shocked that she can sing Chinese songs write by herself so fluently though she is not a Chinese👏👏👏
There are a lot of Westerners that fed up with the crazy none sense American lifestyle. You will be shocked when you see so many Westerner people fluently in a foreign language.
And she just start learning Chinese when she is a high school student
Beautiful voice and pronunciation.
beautiful voice!
Goodness.....her angelic voice.
As a chinese I feel so ashamed that my knowledge and understanding of chinese classic literature is nothing compare to Christine.
为什么要惭愧？术业有专攻，有外国友人喜欢你的文化，并愿意付出精力去研究它，比大多数中国人好这不是应该的吗。事事都要惭愧好累的
She just made it sound so heavenly❤❤❤
Wow. Talented. She is good.
