The translation is in the description: When winds breathed slowly and carried cotton blossom drifts floating from the willow strands, there in the fragrant willowshade, we rested in green depths. Sailing round faraway beaches, sailing as evening falls; in this total disorder of aimless sailing, where can I make land? I've met my share of mankind, but none are like the willows by that gate of departure. None remain. If trees had hearts like men do, they would not be so green with life. Night comes on, your high city disappears, There's only the tangle of endless mountains. Like Wei Lang, I've left you- But remember; this bracelet of jade; believe this promise that we've made When I left, you begged me "Soon return!" For fear we'd leave the red flowers loveless. And I didn't take your pair of scissors with me, but if I had, I still couldn't cut these thousand binding, silken threads of melancholy exile.
A try: The wind gradually blows up the fragrant willow catkins. Houses are now shaded with fresh green. The river curves into the distance dotted with sails. The dusk is growing, and where are the boats bound? At the port, the willows have seen too many partings. They must be indifferent, or how could they be so green? I try to see the town I depart from, but in the diminishing light, There are only disorderly mountains. Though I am going, but back I will be to reunite with you, So that the beautiful red flower has its master. Alas, even though I had the best scissors, It could not cut off my thousands of threads of sorrow.
I always come back to hear this song. So much powerful and weightless at the same time. Like pushing everything with every note, and being pushed back by the world in every note. Greetings from Chile!!!
I am very-very glad that taoist taste and Shi values are combined and alive - China motherland has many masters of guqin, but singing is very rare, guqins are with metal strings, official concerts are performed technically without stillness in the heart, all is glittering, colourful, external and quite tasteless. Here I can hear, see and feel real ancient spirit, it is rare - small orchid with faint but superb smell amongst screaming vulgar colours of flowers without any smell.
I love the sound of this guqin, they usually don't have that much power and depth... Is it because the strings are made of silk? Absolutely mesmerising performance.
You are very observant. I think it's because Mr Yuan has some martial art practice, hence has much better control over finger and arm strength. That was the first thing I noticed when I first met Mr Yuan, his music is full volumed but not loud, it penetrates without being harsh. Silk string is usually softer to the listener than a metal string, but Mr Yuan is able to project its resonance across a room, usually without any additional speaker.
@@henryshoots ooh, I see, thank you for the detailed information and more background insight! It is truly incredible how the instrument sings under Mr Yuans fingers. I can hear every single note he plays, which is rarely the case with guqin. Outstanding artist.
I'm french, and I don't speak chinese or japanese. But despite my ignorance I can feel the beauty of this art piece. Thank you, sincerely, to brought it and to permit me to listen it.
i don't understand a word of it, but this heals me. i am happy and feel somehow connected to people passed through thousand of years who find peace listening to this. thank you.
I just finished building a lyre... I was thinking of making a lute next, but I think I might need to make one of these next. Once he started singing, I was transported to another world, but it was like being in touch with the heart of this world. What a truly spiritual instrument. The silk strings really do it for me to. They're so soft and gentle compared to metal, so deep.
recited his poem. Jiāng Kuí (Chinese: 姜夔) (c. 1155 - c. 1221) was a famous Chinese poet, composer and calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, particularly famed for his ci (song lyric poetry). He composed numerous poems, including the famous "He Bei Lai" and the more well known "San Wan Yue."
I really appreciate you continuing to put this up despite the intimidation/warning from the company and glad you could work to a conclusion to which we could still enjoy this beautiful music. The natural sound from the guqin and the chant makes this so much more wholesome and I value it very much. Many thanks and much gratitude for these guqin videos you put up. Cheers ^^
I can scarcely comprehend any viewers not appreciating your profound art. It is ancient, alive and full of mystery and deepest meaning. How beautiful and heartfelt. You play AND sing exceptionally well. Heng Hao! Thank you from my heart to yours. Many Blessings.
I have been married for eleven years and I have days when I know that what you are experiencing must also be experienced by either my wife or by myself. Naturally, I hope for neither, but it must inevitably be faced by either of us. You have my sympathy.
i simply love this. lovely piece and masterfully performed. never heard guqin music before this piece but I´m coming back to this again and again. deep.
This is the most beautiful melody I´ve heard in Guquin. I don´t know if the melody is a traditional one or composed by him, but it has some special intervals that aren´t heard much in guqin music. Almost all chinese music is about pentatonic, but this guy gives some new colors and tones, even some minor chords are heard now and then. Beautiful!
Eduardo Ornelas the original melody is an old tune, but he added a lot of flavors to it. Mr Yuan used to be a country folk singer in Taiwan a few decades ago, so he is well versed in composition.
Thanks. This is actually my teacher playing. He was in New York teaching a workshop, and I asked him to do some video, so we have an impromptu videos shoot. He used them for his DVD publications.
Who care's if it's perfect. Music is definitely not always about being technically perfect, you may listen to a lot of music but you lack one of the most essential parts of listening to music.
+Ari Vissicaro You lack at least one much more important quality of listening to music: esthetic standard. And it actually makes all your opinions regarding music irrelevant.
people should incorperate more of these types of instruments into modern music. Imagine a metal ballad like fade to black play with something like this. It would really bring new music up a notch
I love the cut to the snowy rocks @4:19. The shapes of the naked rock against the snow look like calligraphy to me; its an artful juxtaposition against the preceding shots. Thanks for sharing this. The music is wonderful, and the video complements it wonderfully.
Yes, Mr Yuan runs a Guqin society in Taiwan and have frequent meets and performances. One of the most unique thing is Mr Yuan performs strictly on silk strings, which is getting rarer and rarer in many places.
I heartily thank you for bringing this to us. It's not only music, it's a teaching. Some people are obviously blind enough to ignore the inner beauty of this song. Calligraphy is to be found everywhere, like in these snowy rocks. Is guqin singing with tha man or the man signing with the guqin. Probably both are.
Thanks Charlie. I've been a big fan of your channel! Keep up the good work. Without people like you who research old tablatures and keep it alive, Guqin would had been forgotten.
Enaid Nedlog The translation is already in the description. Click "show more" and you'll see it. The translation is also on the comment's page posted by me about 7 months ago.
I felt in love with this video and listened this and also other Mr. Yuan's videos almost half of the day. I have listened other guqin players before, but probably I never had so peacefull mind to be able to enjoy it. But now I think that this man helped to open my ears, with his gentle skilled playing and calming voice and I am able to feel and understand this music different way than I did before. :-) Thank you for this.
Thought I'd look through some Eastern styles of music; it's very interesting. The way the songs are composed are vastly different than what the western world would compose them as. This seems more original and natural, I'm lovin it.
Chinese culture is not a national culture but a Chinese civilization juxtaposed with both Christian and Islamic civilizations and a more ancient civilization. At the same time, it is totally different from the two previous religious civilizations. The core of Chinese civilization is "Taoism," "Confucianism," and "Taoism" is in harmony with nature. "Confucianism" is the pursuit of personal accomplishment and effectiveness for the country.

感谢先生的古琴呤唱，在您的琴韵和深沉低婉的声音里，我找到了一万净土、一片清凉。I come back again and again to this recording as well as 阳关三叠🙏🙏🙏

"If trees had hearts like men do,
they would not be so green with life."
Just brilliance here.
The translation is in the description:
When winds breathed slowly
and carried cotton blossom drifts
floating from the willow strands,
there in the fragrant willowshade,
we rested in green depths.
Sailing round faraway beaches,
sailing as evening falls;
in this total disorder
of aimless sailing,
where can I make land?
I've met my share of mankind,
but none are like the willows by that
gate of departure. None remain.
If trees had hearts like men do,
they would not be so green with life.
Night comes on, your high city disappears,
There's only the tangle of endless mountains.
Like Wei Lang, I've left you-
But remember; this bracelet of jade;
believe this promise that we've made
When I left, you begged me "Soon return!"
For fear we'd leave the red flowers loveless.
And I didn't take your pair of scissors with me,
but if I had, I still couldn't cut
these thousand binding, silken threads
of melancholy exile.
+henryshoots Thank you very much~
thank you for posting this translation, and the video. very cosmic, very beautiful.
This is very beautiful
The poem is beautiful, the music is beautiful. Proof that you do not need to speak the same language to be touched by the beauty and emotion of music.
nicely said buddy =]
Да.
这才是我心中古琴应有的样子，抚琴吟唱真实太难得了，听了十余遍依然如此喜爱，这琴声让我的心情平复了许多，谢谢袁先生的琴声！
謝謝。
A try:
The wind gradually blows up the fragrant willow catkins.
Houses are now shaded with fresh green.
The river curves into the distance dotted with sails.
The dusk is growing, and where are the boats bound?
At the port, the willows have seen too many partings.
They must be indifferent, or how could they be so green?
I try to see the town I depart from, but in the diminishing light,
There are only disorderly mountains.
Though I am going, but back I will be to reunite with you,
So that the beautiful red flower has its master.
Alas, even though I had the best scissors,
It could not cut off my thousands of threads of sorrow.
ian falland that is epic
That is soo good!! I absolutely loved it.
O! Thanks so much for translating! ✨

I always come back to hear this song. So much powerful and weightless at the same time. Like pushing everything with every note, and being pushed back by the world in every note. Greetings from Chile!!!

聽古琴吟唱古詩 真是人生一大享受啊！感動~
實在是太雅了，雅到一般人欣賞不了的地步了
要欣赏这种音乐其实没什么门槛
不论什么背景的人，坐下来，什么都不做，什么都不想，闭上眼睛，静静的听，自然会有所感受。
当然如果连静坐都做不到的人，那还是不要欣赏了
@CControl thank you. Restoring Chinese culture and art in its proper, original, dignified manner is a life time goal for me.
I watch this every two months or so. It's becoming important to me.
+kuangsheng thank you for your kind words, Mr Yuan really appreciates all the people who have expressed their gratitude toward his videos!
I love the sound of guqin alone but with this man's poetry and singing accompaniment it is absolutely incredible. It sends shivers down my spine!
袁中平老師以前年輕的時候是旅行者三重唱的主唱之一，和童安格，邱岳搭配。
I'm french, and I don't speak chinese or japanese. But despite my ignorance I can feel the beauty of this art piece. Thank you, sincerely, to brought it and to permit me to listen it.

Powerful words, thank you. If you click on the video description you can find a translated version of the poem.
it's trying to be peaceful, but it's not tho, it's very emotional
The soul of Chinese aesthetics~~~~~So beautiful, so beautiful that it made me cry~~~~OMG!!! I need to calm down~~

I'm so relieved people like this still exist. What a beautiful talent as well.
只此一曲，仿佛和千年之前的古人心意相通。生为华人，幸甚至哉。
古琴舒服啊，果然还是祖宗的东西适合我们。
非常好聽又享受！謝謝老師！
现代竟然还有这样的人儿，敬佩
24 people who expect perfection and can't take joy in the smaller things in life. The feeling of this song is amazing.
先生唱腔一起，我都要落泪了，为中华文化之美而感
Ok I just bought guqin just because of this. Very inspiring. Can't wait to start learning!
Enjoy. The instrument needs dedication, after while your fingers will take you where the notes need to be.
I've been listening to this at the end of all my trainings (Gym and Martial Arts) for about three years now. I still feel enlightened every time
recited his poem. Jiāng Kuí (Chinese: 姜夔) (c. 1155 - c. 1221) was a famous Chinese poet, composer and calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, particularly famed for his ci (song lyric poetry). He composed numerous poems, including the famous "He Bei Lai" and the more well known "San Wan Yue."
不禁泪流涕淌⋯⋯
I'm listening to this every day ❤️
I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Still listening at least once a week even after 2 years ✨
Beautiful. Culturally, this is what the soul of China is. The sound & voice from the ancient Sung echos again from ancient past to the 21st century.
I really appreciate you continuing to put this up despite the intimidation/warning from the company and glad you could work to a conclusion to which we could still enjoy this beautiful music. The natural sound from the guqin and the chant makes this so much more wholesome and I value it very much. Many thanks and much gratitude for these guqin videos you put up. Cheers ^^
Thank you! It was very disappointing. RUclips is made fruitful by users, yet they let the wolves go after us. This is not at all uncommon.
长亭怨慢·渐吹尽
[宋]
姜夔
余颇喜自制曲。初率意为长短句，然后协以律，故前后阕多不同。桓大司马云：“昔年种柳，依依汉南。今看摇落，凄怆江潭：树犹如此，人何以堪？”此语余深爱之。
渐吹尽，枝头香絮，是处人家，绿深门户。远浦萦回，暮帆零乱向何许？阅人多矣，谁得似长亭树？树若有情时，不会得青青如此!日暮，望高城不见，只见乱山无数。韦郎去也，怎忘得、玉环分付：第一是早早归来，怕红萼无人为主。算空有并刀，难剪离愁千缕。
Guqin and wise words...
Mindblowing. Absolutely loved this. It feels like listening to how Song Dynasty qin players might have played it.
善 善！典雅清淡 婉转悠长
美哉 雅矣
本来满脑子琐事堵得气压低低的
听君一曲 心变得静静的 安宁得几欲落泪的样子
虽然还有满硬盘的工作可以凭籍去忘却原来的负情绪 还是不如这清琴慢赋
纵是首离词 满溢的也是那年月里恬淡的墨香和出岫的逸态
I can scarcely comprehend any viewers not appreciating your profound art. It is ancient, alive and full of mystery and deepest meaning. How beautiful and heartfelt. You play AND sing exceptionally well. Heng Hao! Thank you from my heart to yours. Many Blessings.
I COME HERE AND MORN THE PASSING OF MY WIFE OF 42 YEARS
SOME HOW THIS SOUND GIVES ME PEACE AND HOPE
My condolences, I am glad the music eases your pain in some way.
I really hope that you feel better now.
I have been married for eleven years and I have days when I know that what you are experiencing must also be experienced by either my wife or by myself. Naturally, I hope for neither, but it must inevitably be faced by either of us. You have my sympathy.
@@georgemorley1029 one day half of all married must endure this pain VERY SAD
This song is so amazing I've listened to it so many times, and each time I do it heals my heart a little.
I listened to this the first time, nearly a year ago. I don't understand a word, but the music and his voice carry so much more. Kudos!
i simply love this. lovely piece and masterfully performed. never heard guqin music before this piece but I´m coming back to this again and again. deep.
真好听。
Deleted a lot of wicked, evil, and tasteless comments, dear viewers, please ignore them and enjoy the video.
刪除很多惡性攻擊的留言。觀眾朋友，請繼續享受視頻。
I don’t know why people would want to do that. It’s just peaceful, beauty music.
極品! 再難有出其右者!

I am seriously impressed. Thanks to the New York Qin Society for maintaining a valuable part of ancient Chinese culture.
I love this performance so so so much...it truely deeps into heart...thank you❤
Thanks. This is actually my teacher playing. He was in New York teaching a workshop, and I asked him to do some video, so we have an impromptu videos shoot. He used them for his DVD publications.
This vid pretty much changed my perception of Chinese culture
Like how?
Because this song is epic and beautiful
17 people that don't know how to appreciate good art.
So that means you need to dislike? That's kind of posh/elitest
Who care's if it's perfect. Music is definitely not always about being technically perfect, you may listen to a lot of music but you lack one of the most essential parts of listening to music.
+Ari Vissicaro You lack at least one much more important quality of listening to music: esthetic standard. And it actually makes all your opinions regarding music irrelevant.
You do understand that ari comment is relevant to the main comment though?yes?
Define what you mean by "relevant". Is it a reply to to original comment? Yes. Does it have a valid point? No.
說的對啊。
我愛“漢”文化，但是，個人更愛華夏文化。古琴來源於漢朝之前，也就是華夏文化。
“漢”也就是兩千年歷史。很多人給“漢”這個概念局限了。而“華夏”就是多個部落容成，也就沒有“他人的衣服”這個概念了。
这是必然啊 整个中华民族都是北羌的，尧舜禹汤里2个就是西夷的。
赞同。。华夏早早就存在了，老子，孔子，古琴也是。中国人骨子里定型的东西，基本都在汉之前。就说汉朝遗留下来的基本上古遗书吧，至今鲜有人能破解，黄帝内经，八卦图，河图洛书，山海经，易经，道德经，论语，诗经，等等等，每一本，都在后世无法企及的高度。儒教佛教道教还有各种政党主义，都是很后面各个朝代加上去的事情了。。。
@@younghandsome6351 也不是这么说，琵琶胡琴传入中国大约是在南北朝时期，词曲大成于宋元，小说则以明清成就最高。像这首曲子就是宋人所作。中华是一个多民族、多种文化交融的一个松散的概念。历史上每个朝代，都有其独特优秀的一面。仿佛一个大舞台一样，每个朝代都把自己美好的东西展现给世人。先秦时代固然是充满了神话传奇，思想百花齐放，为其后的中华文明奠定了根基，却也是人民饱受战争之苦，伦常乖舛的时代。每个时代有精髓也有糟粕。取精华去糟粕，提炼出焕然一新的中华文化，这是我们要做的
people should incorperate more of these types of instruments into modern music. Imagine a metal ballad like fade to black play with something like this. It would really bring new music up a notch
I love the cut to the snowy rocks @4:19. The shapes of the naked rock against the snow look like calligraphy to me; its an artful juxtaposition against the preceding shots. Thanks for sharing this. The music is wonderful, and the video complements it wonderfully.
I like this a lot. I am in love with the Chinese Guqin instrument. It has such a beautiful sound!
Melancholy of peace, soothes my soul. this willow tree poem- reminds me: Psalms 1:3
Yes, Mr Yuan runs a Guqin society in Taiwan and have frequent meets and performances.
One of the most unique thing is Mr Yuan performs strictly on silk strings, which is getting rarer and rarer in many places.
微博关注，到这里。。。大师气质好好！这才是真正的艺术家！
seems so simple. little motions small plucking but closed eyes open ears, sounds... other wordly
Yes. Mr Yuan sells a CD with this video recording and new music in Taiwan. It is called "Qin Music 2 by Yuan Jung-Ping."
His singing playing or guqin and chinese calligraphy are are beautiful!

I felt in love with this video and listened this and also other Mr. Yuan's videos almost half of the day. I have listened other guqin players before, but probably I never had so peacefull mind to be able to enjoy it. But now I think that this man helped to open my ears, with his gentle skilled playing and calming voice and I am able to feel and understand this music different way than I did before. :-) Thank you for this.
This is the most beautifully played, sung and shot guqin piece!!
