Grinding Ink and Chinese Calligraphy - ASMR Sleep Aid
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 бер 2018
- Relax as I grind some ink and practice some Chinese Calligraphy.
I recently acquired a stick of Chinese stick ink and a small ink stone in which to grind it. This is my first attempt using it as well as my first attempt at Chinese calligraphy.
In China, calligraphy is referred to as Shūfǎ which literally means the way, or method of writing. I certainly found the whole process of grinding the ink and then brushing it onto some paper, to be extremely relaxing. There is an order that the strokes are to made in and as a beginner, I have no idea what I'm doing. In the video, I am not actually writing, but rather drawing the symbols, attempting to make them look like the ones from a printed sheet just out of the camera's view. If I do a series of these videos perhaps I'll learn along the way and be able to memorize not only the symbols themselves, but also the order of the brush strokes used to create each. Nevertheless, I found this to be very relaxing and I hope you experience just a fraction of what I felt when you watch this video.
Congratulations! In reading the description, you found the secret bonus video!

My videos are best enjoyed using headphones or earbuds.
The videos on my UA-cam channel portray some of the typical day-to-day activities that I do for relaxation. This video was produced with relaxation in mind and hopefully has some ASMR qualities. Too much stress is harmful to your well-being and in today’s fast-paced world, stress management is more important than ever, and so I hope this ASMR video acts as a stress reliever for those watching and a sleep-aid for anyone having a difficult time falling asleep.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. Wished I could reply to each one. There has been a few comments talking about how I'm not doing it right. Yes, I know that LOL, so below is an excerpt from the video's description:

RelaxingASMR hola desde uruguay muy buenos videos abrazooo, espero su saludo...

Hola a ti y a los demás en Uruguay.
Do you like pudding
Ignore them telling you that you’re doing it wrong! They’re all experts after all! 🤦🏼♀️ god I love those storms in the background! Thank you for all the effort you put into your vids x
As a native Chinese who had been practicing Chinese Calligraphy for years, I must say you are absolutely fantastic at imitating the forms and shapes of the characters and strokes considering that you are still a beginner. Helpful tip: try rubbing the brush sideways at the edge of the inkstone to squeeze out excessive ink after you dip your brush :) Ideally the ink shouldn't be oozing on the paper but it doesn't matter that much in this case anyways!
This is the only genre I know of where it is a compliment when people fall asleep during your videos.
Hypnosis
I don't know why but I felt compelled to check out your channel and the "ego" playlist you have saved makes me glad I did. It's a really intelligent playlist, it's great that you listen to that kind of stuff. Terence McKenna, along with everybody else I recognized in it, are amazing thinkers. You're a pretty clever ape and I'm glad you exist.
..I might sound creepy or whatever but I wanted to tell you that.
nwo agenda coming near you
"clever ape" hahaha, I'm gonna call my friends that. Even tho it's a compliment it sounds like a very good insult as well
That stick is so well decorated i couldn't bring myself to use it..
bradley morgan Compromise and start with the top end instead so the picture stays intacts longer.
Yes
@@danielsjohnson As soon as i saw him use it that came into my head too
id just have that as a decoration!! :D
Yup, nicely packaged items are very appealing to me.
I want to explain the importance of this video on a personal note. I lost my wife of nearly 30 years and subsequently have found myself with extreme trouble sleeping. This video is close to perfect for me from a relaxation perspective. Without fail I fall asleep to this single video every night (so I have most of it memorized word for word). Truly the part where I start to go under is when we hear the train horn in the distance followed by rain. Something about that part puts me under, and then of course the last segment with only rain is as calming as it gets. So thank you for putting this together and understand the importance to some of us out here.
Sorry to hear about your wife. My condolences. Thank you for letting me know how this video has helped you. It's important for me to know that what I do is sometimes helpful to other people. I appreciate it.
@@RelaxingASMR Thank you. I am ~ your age, so it’s been tough. But each and every night this video puts me to sleep.
One request (if you are looking for ideas) I think the idea of some kind of bedtime story with the rain in the background would be tremendous.
I hope you are doing better!
Hope you are doing well.
I love how soft the rain is because sometimes rain in ASMR can be too harsh but that is just my personal taste, some love the harsher rain.
imo the harsh rain often sounds like bacon sizzling in a frying pan xD
How dare you have personal tastes:p
I was thinking the exact same thing, I love the dull rain in the background that’s more relaxing than tingling, unlike rain-focused videos

Hey army♥️
You're relaxing, have plenty of interesting collections, can transform a piece of junk into an exquisite replica of a boat, you can draw a gorgeous catfish, and can even do a Chinese calligraphy whereas I can barely draw a stick figure.
Greatest channel, you are.

LOOOOOL
Your imagination amazes me
Had a history professor that had this effect on me. I had to start taping his lectures because I.......
😴
Haha!
Me too! I seriously was on the verge of getting a recorder for her lectures. I probably would've kept them for future ASMR, and now I regret not getting the audio down. It was the genetics professor.
I love the rain in the background
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us! :)
Thank you Donna:)

Your videos are so relaxing, I always feel like a little kid again, spending time with a favorite uncle, your videos feel so home-like and warm, it's really soothing.:) They're both fascinating, interesting, educational and calming - just perfect.:)
This brings back wonderful memories of my Dad when he used to practice Chinese calligraphy.
Thank you. For so much.
Your videos got me through the passing of my father and all the long nights of cancer that lead up to it in 2015.
Now you bring me comfort through the passing of my cat named after my father: dear Stevie.
I don’t know how I would grieve without your videos honestly and I will be forever grateful for the work you do.
Thank you.
dude this video was so good i dropped my phone just now because i fell asleep for a split second and my phone was hanging off the side of my bed by my earbuds FIVE MINUTES in. excellent.
karis lee I just dropped my phone _ninety seconds_ in! To be fair, it's 3 in the morning and I should have been asleep hours ago, but the man has a real gift doesn't he?
indeed!! i love his stuff it's great :)
karis lee it happened 2 me too
karis lee i did the same thing!
Is... is that a trench reference in your profile picture...?
I love how much information you share in your videos, and how much they're not commercial. I follow some ASMR channels where folks do unboxings and look at branded merchandise, but it's really nice to watch just--a hobby. With no brands or logos or anything ulterior like that involved.
Yeah. It's understandable that they want to make money from what they spend so much time doing, but it does dilute from the actual relaxation of it because it feels unnatural even when it's relaxing. It just doesn't really have a place in ASMR, but it's reasonable that they want to support themselves. Podcasts are doing it too, and it just feels forced no matter how you dress it up and make it look nice. It's a complicated situation. But when there are no ads and the ASMR artist is just focused on being in a relaxed state: it becomes a meditation, and meditation is really not about money.
Thanks for pudding my mind at ease.
Pudding!

OMG WHEN YOU SAID ARTURO FUENTE YOU SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE ROSSI FROM THE TV SHOW CRIMINAL MINDS!!
I’ve read a lot about ink grinding in historical Chinese novels so I came here to see how it really works! It was more satisfying than I imagined😍
Thank you. Your Voice is Great that Brings Healing Vibes.
Thanks again. I will be listening to your Voice all the time.
Very Best,
Susanna
I adore every bit of this video- from the sounds the ink grinding and writing made, to the rain, and especially the history lesson/bits of knowledge. Thank you so much
This isn't making me feel sleepy, but it is downright hypnotic! Adding in sounds of a thunderstorm is a nice and relaxing touch.
"I couldn't afford to get you anything this year, so I just got you this box".

Good control of the brush ( thicker strokes for certain place) ! And glad that u are writing traditional Chinese ! As a Chinese user, I had fun guessing the characters as u didn’t write the strokes in order XD

After a day in this world where it can feel like the whole worlds against you, this is a great oasis of a channel to come to. You can just forget all your worries, hopes, dreams, anxieties and just be totally relaxed. I had a rubbish day last week. The bus driver shouted at me for not ringing the bell when I got off, no one spoke to me in class discussion(looked like such a loner), my computer broke and all my games got deleted. Came here and it’s all okay , even though the problems still exist. I love asmr
Excellent soft tone, visually and sonically. 10/10 would drop the phone on my face again. 😴
Well done, love the sound of rain and thunder!
We all would love a couple more of these grinding ink and calligraphy videos. Definitely put my mind at ease just listening and learning a bit.
Thank you for all your content.
This is one of the best videos you've ever made.
Thank you so much for your time and honesty. I think we ALL hope this calligraphy becomes a series. Please do more.
Love the background noise. A soft ticking clock would be nice, too. Thanks for another great video!
I love the raining sounds in the background !
I love your video. It's so relaxing.你的字很漂亮。And in fact.“平安幸福” is a word. It's means safety and happiness.You could put them together.
Slow close-up movements, mellow speech, rain and thunder in the background... you, Sir are an ASMR genius!
I've watched almost all of your videos, and this one is a masterpiece. I think it's you're greatest ASMR achievement, thanks for the effort.
I have to say this is my favourite ASMR channel, this is the first video i've seen of yours but I can already say for a fact I bet your others are just as good. Ive never really been into the tingles thing with ASMR, I rarely get them so I dont watch ASMR to get tingles, I just watch for relaxing. Ooooh boy is your channel top notch when it comes to relaxation. The rain and your voice and everything is just 11/10 love your stuff.
OH MY LORD, IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
Time to binge everything over the next few nights.
This is great, and your videos keep getting better and better! The pacing of your movement and the timbre of your voice are perfect. Every time one of your videos post, it's like a visit from a good friend. Thank you - and yes, I like the rain sounds, keep using them!
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Yes we do live in a crazy world
Indeed
We live in a society

And it’s getting crazier still
And crazier....still....
dont understand the low subscriber count, should be a million. asmr gold!
Hour video?!?! What have we done to deserve this. 😴😴
I'm gonna make my own calligraphy ink out of cigarette ash.
You have an endless wealth of knowledge.
The most interesting and relaxing sound about this video is the storm in background
It’s like a history lesson! Thanks!
Tingles can't even be helped with you. They just happen regardless. You are that good.
Loving the background stormy noises, there's nothing more relaxing than being indoors whilst a storm is happening outside.
I love writing/studying while listening to your videos. Such a relaxing experience! Thank you!
Am just gonna say,your voice,the calmness,the relaxation, the art and beauty of this amsr,and also the background rain falling, its so sleepy. Ive slept to that yesterday. So warmm. Thk u.
Finally someone does ink grinding asmr, awesome! I’ve been looking for that for a while
This continues to be one of my top relaxing videos ever alongside with your whole channel. Thank you very much
Amazing. Haiying meets Mr. Relaxing ASMR! Perfect!
I've watched her ink grinding and art videos for years:)
I had the same thought! This is wonderful!
Make more of these background rain asmrs!! They are sooo relaxing
Not only did it relax me but I also learned a lot.
One of my favorite asmr videos of all time.
I love soot! I burn my scrap wood in a fire pit and I have two wood stoves inside my house. I'm eternally having soot marks on my arms or clothes and my girlfriend calls me a soot dweller and laughs! Great video, as always!
Ink stick grinding is one of the most underrated ASMR sounds. I recently found it, and it has become a favorite. 😊
I would be extremely excited to see you continue this series
This is fantastic. Your voice is very soothing and the grinding ink part where you are swishing it about is heavenly! And the rain sounds. I literally nodded off within 10 mins ish. Great stuff love it 💜💜
Thankyou for such a calming relaxing video, I've used this one to fall asleep too now many times over. I once told my wife that I find the sound of turning newspaper pages very calming, she found that amusing. Then one night I got a strange idea to look up newspaper noises on you tube, and that's when I discovered ASMR!, so I discovered they have a name for it, I'm not alone and not a little strange lol. I really enjoy the calm way you speak, the background sounds and the deliberate slow movements which create that perfect collection of subtle domestic sounds which are so relaxing. Thankyou.
You should highkey make more of these Chinese vids idk what asmr is but this was peaceful and I learned some stuff haha
first attempt at Chinese Calligraphy？As a native Chinese,i am so surprised !That's amazing,!You are doing pretty well in it.Thanks for loving chinese cultures.🥺🥺🥺
Thank you! 😃
The thunderstorm is perfect background for this video. Wonderful and so relaxing!
I think I enjoyed your very interesting speaking just as much as the visual aspect of the video! Very informative & relaxing! Thank u so much for your time!! God bless u & your loved ones!
So very grateful for this amazing video💜
I watched this video for over 60 times now and I still puts me to sleep quite fast even tho it got quite boring hearing you telling me the same stuff each evening :D great work, I hope part 2 of the other Calligraphy video comes soon
Wonderful video, including the background noise of rainstorm... Mmmmm I love it!
The perfect video to fall asleep too. So relaxing! Thank you!
I wish you would read me bedtime stories everynight. I'd fall asleep every single time you're amazing
This is a lovely trip through nostalgia lane to some of your old videos, especially your Inky Whisper video, which is what brought me here for the first time years ago.
:) What you do is lovely! Thank you.
Also, could you add in a ticking clock to the background of one of your videos?
This made me think of yanghaiyings calligraphy videos... Aaand now im dreaming of a relaxingasmr and yanghaiying collab
This is so well done. Excellent video man
哇！那個墨條是我小時候的回憶啊！
Wow! The ink stick is one of my memory in the childhood!
哈哈！
Haha!
That you even attempt this is an art in it self most people would not have patients to even read up on it.Very relaxing and interesting video Thank you.
you're the best in the game, what a legend
By the way, your voice would be perfect for the meditation sleep stories section of Headspace and the application "Calm," which also does sleep stories. You have a great voice.
It instantly become in one of my favourite ASMR videos.
I love your videos! Relaxing and informational!
I love eating pudding while watching your videos
lolll
I have never made it through this entire video. I’ve always fallen asleep. Great videos sir👍
Wow perfect timing :)
I love this video! Thank you so much 😊
This is one of the better channels
Thanks!
I love your videos, Keep up the good work.👍🏼
Great video. You should do more of this. Really good stuff.
This video has made me feel more relaxed than probably anything else I've watched... so gooooood... ^_^
A relaxing video, thank you c:
i feel like this is a perfect example of cultural appreciation, not appropriation. he actually took the time to research and learn about the history of traditional calligraphy, which in itself is amazing.
also all of the supportive comments telling him to practice or that he’s very good for a beginner are just amazing tbh. like y’all could be doing the most but instead y’all are kind and supportive
The force is strong with this one!
Yes!!! It's an ink and writing video. Those are, aside from the coin videos, my favourites.
I enjoyed this one very much.
This was awesome!
love that rainsounds ur the best ASMR'er i know!
New subscriber here... 4th time watching this video, please make more like this one. You have a great way about doing ASMR.
I'm not trying to sleep just quite yet, so i haven't even started the vid tbh. But I felt it necessary to let you know the excitement I had the moment I saw a notification from your channel!
