If 鳳凰展翅 is translated into English, it is called 'Phoenix Displaying Its Wings.' The introduction is played by pipa (琵琶). Then Sheng (笙) plays a cadenza passage to depict the phoenix's singing The phoenix 's graceful postures and elegant movements are depicted with superb skill of the solo instrument . This is an outstanding Chinese traditional piece , anyway.
This is a very old instrument that was very important in ancient Chinese orchestras. It is unusual to see a woman playing it. If you are interested in Chinese music, look up Twelve Girls Band.. They are all beautiful and play a combination of modern music and ancient music. There is great pride taken with those who play these instruments well. But in ancient China, musicians were considered to be part of the servant class. As a musician myself, I have traveled to China. Their musicians are virtuosos who are conservatory graduates and continue the tradition of Chinese music while also playing modern instruments. They are amazing.
This is absolutely beautiful. I cannot imagine the amount of practice that went behind this performance. The melody is so lively and full of depth. I can feel it in my soul! Fantastic!
Just stumbled on this video come from a video with the Chinese flute in it. What a wonderful and surprising instrument this Sheng is. We'd call it a mouth-organ, this would than be a chinese mouth organ.
that is one crazy looking instrument. very interesting to look at, like honestly first thing that popped into my head was, " it looks like a crazy ass bong or something".
From Wikipedia: The sheng (also spelt as cheng in Encyclopædia Britannica ) is a Chinese mouth-blown free reed instrument consisting of vertical pipes. It is a polyphonic instrument and enjoys an increasing popularity as a solo instrument. It is one of the oldest Chinese instruments, with images depicting its kind dating back to 1100 BCE, and there are actual instruments from the Han era that have been preserved today. Traditionally, the sheng has been used as an accompaniment instrument for solo suona or dizi performances. It is one of the main instruments in kunqu and some other forms of Chinese opera. Traditional small ensembles also make use of the sheng, such as the wind and percussion ensembles in northern China. In the modern large Chinese orchestra, it is used for both melody and accompaniment. The sheng has been used in the works of a few non-Chinese composers, including Unsuk Chin, Lou Harrison, Tim Risher, Daníel Bjarnason, Guus Janssen and Christopher Adler. Some believe that Johann Wilde and Pere Amiot traveled to China and brought the first shengs to Europe in 1740 and 1777 respectively, although there is evidence that free reed musical instruments similar to shengs were known in Europe a century earlier.
Not only she is a great performer she is also really pretty !!! =^_^= I wanted to make a joke how good she is at blowing... but than I thought this type of joke would be not equal to the quality of this performance !
I imagine that it would take all sorts of crazy skill to play that. You'd have to get the fingering right, you have to hold it up, You probably have to be able to do circular breathing, and even if you didn't, you'd still need strong lungs!!! Amazing!

好美...不只演奏的好...
那雙漂亮眼睛的眼神會電人...❤❤...
Never knew an instrument like this existed. It's so alien yet very cool.
Ele deu origem a criação do acordeom.
It's what the harmonica developed based on after being introduced to europe in the early 1800s and why it was at one point called a mouth organ.
yeah that makes SO MUCH sense now that you mention it @@kishascape !!
thanks
@@santossantos5054 I've heard that that's completely false.
The Japanese Sho is very similar to this.
Her look is so next level!
Yea but she got like 289 exp from this and has leveled up twice since then. You should see her now.
Hercules True look what we got these days. Miley Cyrus.
Amazing, simply amazing. I praise you; I have yet to explore the full potential of my bong
Christian P LOL!! mine doesn’t do this..
She is so jaw droppingly beautiful as well as talented.

how can I see this sheng instrument live?
God damn.. china always got the best instruments
Milo Yio agreed
I know, right. We just get the boring things! Lol
If your country have 5000 years history, then you can get the best instruments too.
BrownBricks they didn't invest time into that certain aspect, come on, dope ass pottery is *tight*
@@jobajo7418 Most places in the world have 5000+ years of history, not just China.
wow she is absolutely gorgeous...
She is O_O
A very talented woman playing a phenomenal ancient Chinese instrument called "sheng".
It plays out a very light kind of music.
One of my favorite traditional Chinese songs.
Magnifique merci pour le partage 👍
WOW!
those pipa's in unison
superb
This is absolutely beautiful. I cannot imagine the amount of practice that went behind this performance. The melody is so lively and full of depth. I can feel it in my soul! Fantastic!
Sheng and khene are the two harmonica ancestor. Cause you blow and you draw in ! Like an harmonica !!!
+Chris DEREMAUX 笙吹吸同簧，口琴吹吸不同簧
Sheng blow in and out use one reed
but Harmonica use two different reed
Браво ! Браво ! Браво ! Восхитительно ! Потрясающе ! Обворожительно ! Завораживающе ! Очаровывающе !
wonderful sound!...that's a really mesmerising performance!...
I am awestruck by the beauty of this music. I live in China, and I'm definitely going to look into learning a traditional Chinese instrument.
非常好
This performance is outstanding. I wonder how long she has been playing; she’s so talented!
fantastic
the instrument is over 3 thousand years old
and has quite a history in China
That was awesome
笙在中國北方作為和嗩吶搭配的樂器在民間很普遍，同樣還有鈸，銅鑼等，都是佛教和喇嘛教的金石樂器。而在儒教更盛的南方並不常見，以琵琶，楊琴等為主流。
笙在北方民间流行，官方不多见。
Parabéns.

笙一般只出现在合奏中，单独演奏笙这种乐器头一次见。
I need one of these _right now!_
What the fuck?? That sounded incredible!
AWSOMEPOSSUM16 china has always beat the US in music
Will Pack Dumbass, i'm not talking money wise, i'm talking how it sounds, the US now a days is fucking ghetto shit, no good music anymore
Will Pack I don’t think he’s talking economically.
Sounds great! Thanks.
天泉有人繼承了!
Amazing perfection Thankyou
Amazing music instrument
that's amazing
Yang Sin-yu is a young sheng virtuoso from Taiwan and former Assistant Sheng Principal of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra! :)
This is AMAZING!!!!
his is really good!!!
Sheng is the father of the accordeon!!!
Everyone is searching Sheng now because of the Mario song. GG
No, you wouldn't know what a sheng was if it wasn't for the mario song haha
roll light I know about the Sheng from the Sho, a Japanese Mouth Organ
Nope you're just a bitch
roll light Hey, do you have to be such a troll?
***** WTF? troll,
Sho is from Sheng ,it is a Chinese instrument，from china， have 3000years old
Suprised there weren't more rock bands during the 70's in China.
wonderfull!
Such a cool instrument
I never have seen an instrument like that!
live jam, finna drop dis track on livemixtapes ft. DJ HOLIDAY.
a polyphonic wind instrument controlled by the mouth as well.. !
Fantastic !
too good!
Reminds me a lot of country/bluegrass harmonica. Which is fitting, since the sheng is the progenitor of free reed instruments.
Wow this is amazing
I play the chromatic harmonica, the young child of Sheng 😁
Thanks bath boys :)
笙的声音温柔好听.往往给锁纳伴奏·小时候总·觉得锁纳太吵人
Very well done! :-)
Love this
its biutiful
Only here because of Peter Gilroy.
ahh! I see! still takes tons of skill i bet! that's so cool you can play it.
amazing!
Breathtaking! (No pun intended!)
omg thats freakin amazing
Great!!!
2007/08/28 There is no regrets in the ambitions Yang Xinyu and Huang Weixi
She's grabbing that Sheng with two hands and blowing it like crazy
damn awesome!
I imagine that it would take all sorts of crazy skill to play that. You'd have to get the fingering right, you have to hold it up, You probably have to be able to do circular breathing, and even if you didn't, you'd still need strong lungs!!! Amazing!
it can be played both inhaling and exhaling. as to the timbre differential - idk - but i think its probably been worked out by design and technique
