"Anything to do with music instruments in films people just wanna make it look cool. Whether it's actually real or not does not matter."
I think that sums up the entire representation of music and instruments in every movie and series ever (with veeeeery few exceptions).
but guqing and guzheng is night and day visually and in sound. this is not a viola vs violin where it looks super similar and the sound is similar to musically untrained ears. Pretty sure if someone called cello a violin, people will care and does matter.
❤❤❤ this is awesome! You should do flutes too! I have seen way too many actors “playing a song” with the flute 2 inches from their faces and out of sync 😂
I totally agree, the finger movements are always off on the flute playing, either moving too slow for the song, or too fast, or the actor not even taking a breath. tsk tsk.
OMG and it's the worst!!!
I was just watching Rise of Phonexis, and this vexes me no end😅
totally agree
How about the notched flute with the notch turned sideways! 🤦♀️
Lan Wangji has been playing Inquiry for 13 years and still hasn't learned how to put Qin on the table lol. Poor guy.
Since our days of The Untamed, your guqin videos have been some of my favourite. This was, as always, so informative and entertaining! Thank you for this fun video after taking all our suggestions into consideration. Together, we are keeping the audience standards higher! Great work! 👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🏆❤️
The every music of Guqin in the Untamed will always remain in our heart 😊
@@HANGUANGJUN85 So true. It’s a part of our hearts, just as much as the characters. 💯❤️
@@HANGUANGJUN85agreed 💯
As a qin player it is SO satisfying having you point everything out! They never get it right! 😆 Thank you for your video! It made my day ❤
Avenue X just keeps surprising with the increasing quality of videos! Haven’t seen anyone being THIS informative about Chinese culture through the perspective of dramas! More people should see this! Always thank you for your hard work!
You played Word Of Honor OST at the end (30:40) that was really great.
I love this song ❤❤
One of my fav as well. ❤
@@SoloLVLing_VIP4BL And it sounds better when played by qin, nobler, doesn't it?
@@Novichevich yes, exactly 😻
Me too @@f.a3600
Cdrama makers and actors should mandatorily watch this video if they have a qin scene in the script of their drama. This is such an interesting and fun video✨Thanks for educating me about qin, AvenueX!
The directors and screenwriters should educate casts how to play.
@@katr2771dude, I have learnt violin for 2 years and I can’t even play a simple piece right. Actors are supposed to learn but they can’t play like professionals. The main part is cutting and editing with the hand double. And those are editors, facilitators, and director’ jobs, not the actors.
I agree with you!!@@nguyenthiphuonganh
Regarding Xiang Liu's scene, after the qin playing scene was released and received negative comments, Tan Jianci apologized and took all the blame on himself. But it's clear in the behind-the-scenes video that he was just imitating exactly what the teacher taught. The teacher also revealed that this was a temporary additional scene, the actor only learned a few hours before filming. So I have a hard time understanding why the writer and director decided to film this scene? Both the logic of the story and the filming effect and post-production editing were not good. In the end, the negative opinion was directed towards the actor alone, I felt sad for him.
Well honestly that whole drama is boring and weird😂 don’t think there’s much intelligence going in the writing of the story to start with
@@AvenueX123 how is lost you forever 2 doing in china. All the videos I see say it is flopping, but it got a heat index over 30,000? Could you please make a video on it.
@AvenueX123 yes, please make a video. I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 is meh too me.
@@AvenueX123 yes, please make a video. I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 is meh too me. I’m just skipping over scenes. I felt like it could had wrapped up with 5eps after the first season watching season 2. It’s going to drag on.
Yeah, however, I love that song "Blood of Peach flower". It is just so sad that the actor has to receive the negative comments alone, while there are a lot of people responsible for that scene.
the nail part is so fascinating because firstly i wondered how that impacted the lives of professional qin players in the past like did they have to avoid any physical activity to avoid breaking their nails
and you said they don’t use fake nails but i wonder if there’s some sort of gel nail that’s soft enough to replicate human nails if a modern player was to break a nail
If you only need about 2mm, the nails can grow out in about a week? And also, even in ancient time, there were many rich people hiring musicians just for background music at parties, so the music did not need to be top notch. If the musicians were to prepare for a big competition or presentation such as performing solo, they would take extreme care of their instruments and hands and nails, like they had servants doing everything else so there were no chance of breaking a nail.
I believe they have some things like picks that they can wear on their fingers to imitate longer nails.
@@catellala Avenue X already said that the instrument using pricks is Zheng, not Qin
Not sure why this popped up in my feed but I learned a lot. As a violinist who cringes when watching actors fake play the violin, thank you for spreading knowledge of this beautiful instrument :)
People watch your videos and they complain about your reviews. They don’t understand how technical your eye is. It comes from experience and your knowledge of Chinese history and culture. I for one appreciate it! I want to learn Qin now. I hear the sound in to many classic Chinese songs. I also love the Er Hu. I didn’t like love like the galaxy but I loved the intro. The instrumental is so beautiful!
A lot of her opinions are not on point though. For example, she despite actors’ acting and efforts, and keep ranting on their accents. One of the reasons why all C-Dramas have subtitles because it is a big country with many different accents. But this lady wants all the actors to have Beijing accent, or some type of standard accent. She said like those actors can’t speak standard Mandarin. But hell no, they do speak Mandarin, just very differently because of where they’re from.
People defended here by saying it’s the actors bad at reading the lines. But it’s how they talk in their respected regions. You can’t expect everyone speak in the same tone, or same way.
I have learned how to play violin for 2 years and I can’t even play a simple piece right. Actors are supposed to learn but they can’t play like professionals. The main part is cutting and editing with the hand doubles. But Avenue X’s problem is the hate on the actors while it’s clearly problem from the production team.
@@nguyenthiphuonganh Do you speak Mandarin? Do you understand current Chinese culture? As someone learning Mandarin the Beijing accent is actually the standard. I've taken classes with teachers in China and I was taught by several teachers the Mandarin sound. The average news caster in English has a Beijing accent. Even in Taiwan there is a standard accent for newscasters.
Even in American dramas the accents have to be specific to the area the person represents when acting. If there is a certain way of playing gu qin then reflect that. Play in the right position and have the actual gu qin set up correctly. If you have a problem with Avenue X then don't watch her reviews. It's not that hard!
@@cassball7 why actors need to have standard accent? According to your point, if I have problem with her review, I shouldn’t watch her videos, so you should apply your point to AvenueX’s review. If she has problem with C-drama, she shouldn’t watch any Chinese drama. Don’t be ignorant!
I’m from the early,1980s, growing up with classic films, directors, novelists and actors, I’m difficult too. We all know how good filming, good directing, good screen-writing are.
Have you seen people complaining about Christ Hemsworth, Nicole Kidman, or British actors’ accents?
Note that I’m from Vietnam, we share similar culture to Chinese, I also learned Chinese, I have read all Jin-Yong and Gu-Long novels. i have read most of new generation of Chinese novels that made into dramas. Do you think just because she used to work in filming industry and just she knows stuff. Hell no, we all know. We watch C.drama hours a day, from TVB, to ATV … every version of any novel.
@@cassball7 do you know why people like twoset-violin’s reaction videos of movies about musical instruments? Because they have the right points! You should know those AvenueX reviewed C-dramas are long-ass dramas, they’re not about musical instruments, NOT about music. what she should blame is the professionals that production team hired to help the actors, or the editors, director. Actors are to blame, but it should not all because of them.
@@nguyenthiphuonganh so you are saying someone that watches films for years has the same knowledge as people who work in the industry. That tells me all I need to know about you. That's like patients who look up stuff on google or watch a medical drama and say they know as much as the doctor! Have a nice day!
AAA you played the Word of Honor OST so well, thank you so much for this video
This was fascinating! And so relatable, as a violinist who has watched violins being mishandled in television!
I've always wondered how qin scenes worked and whether they were well done. Living in a rural area of the United States, I never had the opportunity to learn about as many stringed instruments as I would like. So I have LOVED learning more today. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Your historical and cultural knowledge is always so good and always brings me back to you!
Our poor XiangLiu! lols TJC just followed instruction. There was a Qin teacher who choreographed his playing 😭😭😭
Such a great video, reminds me of the classic TwoSet violin debunking videos. I find myself now wanting to get my hands on a Qin! Particularly enjoyed the maths-y nerdy deep dive at the end - stringed instruments are so fascinating and I want to play around 😢
As a somewhat musical individual I have often queried the 'playing' depicted in dramas and am glad to be properly educated. Especially on Chinese and other Eastern instruments as my knowledge is purely of the Western tradition. I feel like a lot of flute scenes are also dubious as well. Woodwind is not my specialty however!
WoH theme is sooooooo pretty
Yay! This is legitimately something I've looked up while watching cdramas cause I have a basic idea of string instruments and so many shows seemed to do impossible things with these.
Thanks for Word of Honor soundtrack at the end ❤
These are my favorite type of videos you do - ones that give us 老外 insight into the cultural background or behind-the-scenes of dramas. Whether it's you taking us on a tour of an out-doors production set (I see those buildings everywhere now that I've watched your videos!) or telling us about the use of voice actors or how a 琴 should be used, I love it! 💖
WORD OF HONOR "heaven asks"!!! at the end! Thanks for sharing!
I always appreciate this type of informative videos from AvX. This is where I get to learn so many actual knowledge in regards to the Cdramas that I watch so it’s not just pure entertainment. There’s actually value gained.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! As the owner of a new Fuxi qin, your video is far superior to the manuals I received. It’s also GREAT advice on enjoying Chinese Costume Dramas for the artistry and stories, NOT for musical instruction. You saved me from embarrassing my Chinese ancestors!!! And thank you for your many drama analysis vids as well. I always look forward to them.
Wow thank you so much for educating us on these little differences 🤩🤩🤩 These teachings really help to improve internation fan's understanding of culture and help future filmmakers to show more respect towards unique musical instruments that honor the history of China ❤
I was actually wondering about this recently. Since Qin is very common in ancient cdramas, I wanted to know if it is actually being played correctly and if the music is actually Qin sound. Thank you so much !!!!
Thank you so much for always trying to educate drama viewers and helping them to enjoy the dramas responsibly without blindly praising them. And thank you even more for the word of honor OST play at the end. Loved the video!
You should do this type of videos more. Very interesting and insightful
I LOVED this video which was so much fun for me to watch. For over half a year I've thought of buying a qin, but then I'm laden with filial guilt because the child's koto that my father gave to me when I was eleven years old is still sitting in it's elegant box in the attic for the past 50 years. Oh my. I just loved this video though, and enjoyed every minute of it. Now with these tiny pearls of wisdom I'm bound to blast away at those musical mistakes in period dramas. Once again I get to leave this page with a smile on my face looking forward to my next program. Many kind thanks.
This was so fun to watch! Thanks for including the two dramas I suggested in your last video. I was especially wondering about that weird branch qin in Legend of Haolan. 😂
Ever since I got my guqin, I gained huge respect for guqin player.
I am still learning to play this instrument. I'm still learning the basic rules
I love it, but my family and neighbour "hates" it (when I am practicing 😅)
Where do you buy your guqin?
@@kei931 in a local store during my trip to China several years ago. My local guide helped me buy it.
It was a pain in the a** to get it transported from China 😅
@@kei931 bought it at a local store in china during my trip (many years ago)
Thank you for sharing all this knowledge. I knew it's going to be more interesting than it seems, but it is still a surprise how your narration draws me in...
So happy I learned something like this today!
Recognized Tian Wen!
I love the way you explain. Clear and passionate. Side note: all Chinese dramas use recordings for voices and sounds, the real sound produced during filming is not used. You can notice the bad lipsync in most of them. But I fell in love with Gu Qin and Gu Zheng due to the thousands of hours spent watching them.
Oh, I watched till the end, I’m a cellist, this has opened a whole new world for me….how fascinating this is, and you are the best teacher! Thank you so much…do you think you might play more in future videos? You are very good, you capture the essence…
10 out of 10 for this epi and you're funny as usual in your own way. Thank you!
Great Great Video 🙌🙌👏👏 thoroughly enjoyed it ❤️
Learned a lot!!! You played beautifully ❤️🫶
At the end you played "ask heaven", right? it was amazing. I have listened to this song more than once sung by liu yuning, but I have yet to hear it on gu qin. you explained in great detail how to play gu qin correctly and discussed the mistakes in detail. thank you, for your hard work. (by the way, i know that for someone who has been playing gu qin for a long time, it can be hard to watch someone do something like this, but i think these exaggerated strokes are very fitting for xiang liu, so the viewer can feel how much emotion he hides behind his mask. it was this moment when he played that reminded me why i like this character so much).
I love the variety of dramas covered, some examples are so funny 🤣
Wow, you're awesome! Thanks for this video. I've always admired this instrument and Zheng. In Vietnam , we also have an instrument similar to Gu Zheng called Dan Tranh with 14 or 17 string. I always want to learn it. I really appreciate the lesson for spotting fake playing. 😄 You playing so well. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much for this video. I kinda knew some of what you said but you made it clearer for me and I now understood properly. I have a Zhang and always thought it was a Qin for a very long time.😅
I learned a lot in this video! It was a treat to hear you play, thank you so much for sharing 👏👏👏
❤ It's amazing how smooth and easy you explain these facts about the Gu Qin instrument! I learned a lot. 😊
Ah, the Word Of Honor soundtrack sounds so wonderful on Qin...
So educational! I often have to tab away from scenes of bad musical instrument miming because I find them so off-putting, but a thorough roast of what's gone wrong is very enjoyable! Collab with Twoset Violin when? :D
You're so funny and serious at the same time. And so informative...and you know it. I just love your video.😊
LOVED this so very informative video! The harmonics of how the positions mirror one another is amazing as to how this instrument was designed. When you raised this idea to do the video, I wanted to suggest you consider a video on wedding customs and attire per dynasty--why green vs red gown? why circle fan vs veil? why the big fat ball/ribbon to hold vs not? Why walking over a saddle only for female sometimes? Is the bowing to heaven, parents, and each other standard? etc. I bet that the dramas just take creative license to stage the ceremony but I'd appreciate knowing the true historical elements. Thanks!
😮 enjoyed every minute of the video. Those companies should hire you as a consultant when filming Qin playing scenes!
30:40 I did not expect you would play that and it's been a while since I watched the drama that it sent all kinds of nostalgic feeling, gosh I miss the glory days of WoH 🥲
It was unexpected. I nearly cried hearing it again 🥺 miss them
We lead me everyday😊. I am obsessed with flowing water, my sleeping tune. Thank you for ending with my utmost fav song. Word of honor 🎉🎉❤
You should play a song with the gu qin. I’d love to hear an actual musician playing it properly. I think it’ll be beautiful. Thank you for enlightening us.
This video was sooo much fun and educational to top it off!
This is really informative! Thank you!
absolutely! For example, how about a flute playing in the dramas?
As a former band kid, it always made me *cringe* when I watched CDrama actors play instruments and it just...not looking right. I'm also happy to learn alot about this instrument! It sounds gorgeous (plus, the Word of Honor theme you played? Beautiful!!)
When they dub over the instrument scenes in this C-Dramas, the fake playing almost takes me out of it. It makes me wonder why they dont play the soundtrack for the actors so, even if they're fake playing, they atleast attempt to mimic the motions of the tune.
Anyway, thanks for this educational video!!
I am looking for guqin on youtube. Finally, I got recommend to your channel but thank god I found you. You are a good guqin teacher. Not only teaching on how to play guqin but also explaining very correctly how to sit properly, to grow right hand nails for pluckng string and to not grow left land nails, how to place the qin so on and so forth. ❤❤❤❤❤❤. Also what is the difference between Zheng and qin .
Thank you for sharing this traditional knowledge 🌟
Thanks for this! I am a big fan of Chinese period dramas in the UK. Even a beginner guqin player like me is puzzled how they can make those mistakes… come on we are talking about the QIN - one of the Chinese Four Arts!! How can they not bothered to get it right?!? Have said that - I still love the qin (acting) performance and that particular sweet episode in Love Like The Galaxy!!! 🌟
Love , love this video. Your explanation of Qin.
The melody that you played is beautiful.
Thank you ❤️
Wow I’m so early for once! As a Chinese person who is addicted to cdramas, I Love your videos❤
What an entertaining and informative video! ❤
Now do horseback riding! Not just in historic, but in modern “rich heir” dramas (even recent one with Dylan Wang)…so painful!
And water/river/sea/ships scenes
So many actors have to do horseback riding in historical dramas, and I wonder where they learn it. Is that a skill taught at drama schools? (Not being sarcastic here...) I suppose they must take a lot of physical training courses like how to look like they're fighting or how to fall correctly and how to fence/use a sword and other weapons....
@@keyzest8823 yea wu lei is currently filming movie dongji island .this movie has lot of underwater shooting
great achievement, for sure! you are gorgeous, dearest AvenueX! I have learned really so much, from this lesson.. and so much joy and interesting point of view! thank you, thank you so much... You are such a wonderful teacher...
I think the part I liked the most is the tuning!!! :D You play well!
This is amazing! I'm going to look for Qin instrumentals, Word of Honor..... Thank you for this, I look forward to more!
Avenue X, please make a Playlist of you playing this. Grew up watching C drama, that instrument is sure cool. It's will be great to watch you play the full songs.
Very interesting vidéo ! You even blessed us with woh song ! This instruments is too much to handle haha
I just want to say that your playing of this instrument is amazing. You are intelligent and talented also. Thank you for explaining things to those of us not familiar with instruments. You are also able to teach others which is a talent in of itself. You are a joy to watch for me. I can always learn things from your videos and enjoy you so much. Your knowledge of costumes from different periods, whether scenery is natural, props, consistent etc... is so interesting. I always notice if things look too fake (plants, trees, flowers etc..) and though I love fantasy/magic etc.. I dislike always seeing fake flowers and things of that nature. I enjoy some of the beautiful songs that play during some of the dramas (no modern stuff) but oddly when I watch dramas (non Chinese) I prefer British dramas over American ones because they are more natural and the people are more apt to look like regular people rather than glamourous movie stars. I seem to always like period dramas whether Chinese or British and some old American stuff because I am older, have always been modest, don't curse and don't want to hear bad language or see naked people. I was considered very old fashioned even when I was very young so I am really out of step with the modern generation. I was what they called an old soul. I am grateful for the Chinese period dramas where people still behave with dignity even if they do seem repetitive when it comes to jealousy etc.. People must be very idle to have time to be jealous over others or stir up plots out of hatred or revenge. Oops, I have rambled. I am looking forward to more of your videos.
I guess as a Qin player it must be frustrating. I am a guzheng player and this one movie claimed "oh they're playing the guzheng" when I can clearly hear that it's the sound of the Pipa being played in the background
Enjoyed the video learned a lot of information im glad
I usually don't comment but came here after watching this video and then Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 after your most recent video recommending it!!! There's a scene in Ep 5 where the Emperor is playing Qin and AS SOON as I saw that scene I was like OMG AVENUEX TALKED ABOUT THIS and paused it to watch it frame by frame. From what I could see and all the points you talked about, it looked super legit! I mean the actor didn't have long enough nails on his right hand and I could hear a little bit where the hand didn't match the music layover (it sounds like a string was plucked but he didn't move his right hand) but those were pretty minor points. All the positioning and sitting and hand movements were good enough to me haha. Just wanted to say this, it made watching the drama extra exciting for me.
Petition for AvenueX to release more videos of her playing qin as content❤❤ I want more
姐们儿,厉害的!切入点很有意思而且真的懂古琴的。(不怎么看现在的国产古装剧,偶然刷到,但是这支视频让我想带一张琴来欧洲了,好久没练过,最近太热,很想练《流水》。
Amazing video. I’ve been really interested in this instrument but kept forgetting when I finish a drama 😅
Knowing that this is an ancient Chinese instrument, one would assume that people doing these period dramas would get at least (AT LEAST!!!!) instrument placing right.
Don’t get me started on flutes! OMG!! I play a bit of flute and looking at the way the characters play/use them, I am like WTF?! 😅
Thanks for making and sharing this video. I find it very education and interesting. I have played guzheng before but only as a beginner a long time ago. And wow, Qin is really on another level itself. Such beautiful instruments. You played it so well. I wonder how many years of experience you've had to be that good? I always tried to look away from the actor's hands and just focus either on their face or elsewhere when they are playing the qin as it always feels like a slap in the face and it would disrupt my attention and my immersion into the story.
Thank you for the video! It's very informative. Would love to see more videos like this where we get to explore more about Chinese culture. Not just drama reviews. Such a refreshing content. Thanks very much!
Even during the opening ceremony of 2008 Olympics the Qin was placed at the center of the table completely on top... I was shocked to find that out after learning to play Guqin years later and went back to find the old videos, considering the player is supposedly a Guain Master...I guess the director wanted aesthetics over accuracy...
Excellent video, really lovely just sitting and listening and learning :) Reminds me of your old videos about chinese language or history of opera. More please! :)
Love this! I was always curious as a classical guitar player. I could not learn the Qin because I have never been able to grow my own nails but I would learn the Zhang if I had access to here.
Amazing video! I never payed attention to this before, but it's fascinating. Thank you ❤
Fabulous video very entertaining and informative. Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating, when I saw 35 minute video, I knew with my short attention span and being at work I would watch in bit, 36 minutes later I am writing a comment.
very entertaining and informative and I definitely will be checking out Qin playing scenes from my next drama watching.
Let’s see if strange tales of tang 2 coming this Thursday can do better than their season 1
This is wonderful! Thank you so much for explaining this!
You already once mentioned some aspects of correct playing in a former video, maybe two years ago and ever since I payed attention to this. But even without this knowledge, it is often so obvious that the actors don‘t bother to learn some basics. Not only with gu qin, but all instruments. Usually, I close my eyes and just listen, if music is played.
So interesting! Thank you very much for this video and i formation
So good your explanation, I'll never watch a drama without seeing these details again... lol
Thanks for teaching us about the gu qin
hahahaha, I'm here to report that I just watched Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 ep5. There was a scene of the emperor playing qin. Everything is about right, the position they set the instrument, the height of the table, and he even sat at the right place. Except he doesn't have nails on his right hand! I'm really glad that I watched this video.
I've been so curious about the Qin and whether the actors ever actually play. (Can you tell I have zero context for what I'm watching?) Thank you for showing us all of this! I love it!
this was awesome thank you so much ahhhhhhh
Wu Lei has such potential, I think he could really do a lot in his 30s if he gets a few more skills and tightens up his acting. He could even stream his progress and partner with affordable chinese instrument manufacturers and even have some short (12 episode max) dramas about chinese instruments, I'm sure some actors and actresses know how to play.
Hi! Your video is gorgeous! Great approach - I'm thrilled!👍
Do you have the notes guqin of the piece that you are performing on the 30:00 minute video from "Word of Honor". 🙏
Excellent, thank you !
I'd love to see your opinion about weiqi next! I'm really fascinated everytime a drama has a weiqi scene but I can't help but wonder if they're that accurate. 😅
Thanks for this post. It was very, very informative. Now I need to go back and take a look at a tv show from a few years ago - 三生三世枕上书。I want to see how accurately the 古琴 playing is in that show. In one episode, there is a contest between students who are learning to play the flute. The Dilraba Dilmurat character Baifeng Jiu is one of the students and her romantic love interest, the Gao Wei Guang character Donghua Dijun is the contest judge. The students playing the flute have a to accompany a 古琴 player and it happens that the character playing the 古琴 is also competing for the affections of Donghua Dijun so it adds some drama to that particular episode.
I love your guqin videos. You have made great progress! Play something in the next stream please. 🙏
I started playing the guqin during the Covid lockdowns and I really like the instrument, although I can't keep my nails long enough to make the right sound because it interferes with my flute playing.
I'm looking forward to your next guqin video. 👍
J'ai beaucoup aimé, très intéressant ^^ I love this video, very interesting !
I am really loving this!
Can you do a series of video tutorials on how to play guqin? I have one and really want to learn but I don’t have access to a tutor where I’m from. The videos and books I’ve found are limited so it’ll be great if you can do a series!
That was informative. Taking your advice, they could at least make it look real. You might want to take on sword fighting next. I give Wu Lei 'E' for effort as he seems to be very dedicated to always learn the skills he needs to use in order to play certain character traits more authentically in his dramas.
amazing video!!! thank you so much!!! 🥰🥰🥰 How come this is not as widely known in chinese drama land?
Thank you for a very informative and interesting video ❤️ Hopefully the future production teams will pay more attention to such details while filming the dramas / movies
Loved it! Please do a few more videos like this. Your explanation of the qin was fascinating! I would love to hear more about it, would love to hear you play more, and hear your opinions on more examples.
Thanks a lot for all your amazing videos.
Do you play also Gu Zheng? I hope you will also give us the "trick" of playing Zheng correctly or incorrectly in Chinese dramas ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks 😊
I don’t, a good friend of mine does, she’s in Calgary and I do hope we can do a video together in the future
I was thinking you would do your outro playing that bit that you used to open your videos with. 😁
Nice topic. Very informative!
