Not collective, one created it - likely ancient India (15,000) years ago, and then it travelled around the world. History is lost between 13 000 BC - 2500 BC. But there's record of lyres being used 2500 BC (4500 years ago). If we had the (human) history from 13 000 BC to 2500 BC our knowledge of the world would be much more rich.
The lone instrument makes you actually feel like you're alone, and peaceful, like you don't want to leave that state anymore, but scarethe fear of going back to reality, is saddening.
I have watched so many Chinese themed movies and shows and I was dying to know what this instrument was. I’m so glad I found it, it’s the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard in my life!
@Mikey Burns how could I not? It was a childhood classic of mine. I had it on VHS and would watch it a lot as a kid! However, what made me really love this instrument along with Chinese style music in general was of course Kung Fu Panda. It was the best movie in the world to me at the time. Still love 1 & 2; 3 not so much...
Our civilisations had a long history of trade and friendship with each other and our cultures have notably influenced each other's. The British drew lines and divided us.
Most erhus I've ever heard, I'm always thinking some Chinese woman is singing. In the past I never knew that what I thought was some Chinese woman singing was a simple instrument all along! XD That makes it all the more beautifully ingenious.
in Betawi culture (Jakarta) we have 3 musical instruments that are the same as this because of the acculturation of Chinese culture in the past but a little different because at the ends we use coconut shells and we call them Tehyan, Kongahyan and Sukong ❤️
Genshin impact is an absolutely great game with (as I’ve just come to know) a really nice fan base who (generally) are really kind. Climbing mountains in the liyue region trying to escape that ameno hypostasis mmmh the dream
Such an elegant sound yet a simple looking instrument from a place I did not even think about. Chinese traditional music might just become my favorite after listening to this ERHU. BTW : To those who didn’t know, this song is called jasmine flower.
je préfère infiniment le erhu du 19ème aux arrangements modernes qui le dénaturent à mon avis, c'est d'une pureté incroyable; j aimerais tellement en jouer!
It's a magnificent art, congratulations, happy to live to this day to finally watch where these chinese sweet sounds actually come from, erhu is totally new for me, I'm fascinated.
Magnificent! I've always loved the sound of the erhu, and while it can go well with other instruments, I've always preferred it solo. One of the things that pisses me off about erhu videos on UA-cam is that most get mixed up with other (usually Western) instruments. A video that presents erhu, and only erhu, is a rare treat.
Lengends Has It That Every Single Erhu Has A Story To Tell From Fallen Soldiers And People of Higher authority that all tragically lost their lives for them
Also in qigong they say certain songs on the erhu along with different types of dances can purify the soul and rid the body of illness. Don’t forget that part of the legend
Hehe… I’m currently learning to play this song (Jasmine) on my xiāo and I just found this video though I searched for something different. The èrhú sounds great!

I have found a similar type of Musical instrument in almost every tribe or community that belongs to more Asian type of descendence..just like Erhu..Bodos living in Assam,India who migrated from Mongolia and Tibet in past (I belong in that tribe) have an Instrument named Serja.. although its almost similar in shape to a violin it's sound is almost similar to Erhu

What a talented artist! This is such a beautiful song :) I am in South Korea and I have read that Korea has this and a similar instrument called a Haegeum. I love this instrument and I would to buy one. Any suggestions as to where?
That music was so comforting for me. It was serene and so personal. I want to learn to play one. Is Erhu music written in the western style with musical notation and fingering or is it by numbers? Where could I buy a book with these lovely melodies? I think I can just improvise so what sounds comforting..or do you play a strict sequence? Thank you so much. You also looked very smart. I love your music. Thank you
Gotta love how almost every culture in the world discovered rubbing horse hair and intestines together and unanimously agreed it sounded amazing.
everyone say thank you horsies
These are silk strings not gut (modern day use metal)
@@brentbreault7606 I'm well aware, I'm referring to the collective discovery of stringed instruments regardless of culture.

The Erhu is one of the few instruments that is so beautiful it makes me want to cry....I adore it, and this song is simply gorgeous.
I totally feel you, I’ve never been brought to tears by a single instrument before until now - truly an otherworldly thing
Me too! There is something about it that just touches something deep inside me and makes me emotional.
The lone instrument makes you actually feel like you're alone, and peaceful, like you don't want to leave that state anymore, but scarethe fear of going back to reality, is saddening.
Same here bro
100%...luckily, the crying isn't too painful, more joyous? It's everything!
Had I known of this instrument before, I would have begged my mother to attend lessons to play. It is so beautiful and graceful.
you can still learn it!
Never too late to start learning, you know
It's never too late
Life is full of possibilities ❤️ we should use the limited time here, for beautiful things like this. So go, pick up this instrument and learn it 🙏🔥
She would have slept with your teacher
Legend of Korra brought me to the Erhu. Such a beautiful instrument.
Same!!!! That show plus the one before it had such beautiful soundtracks.
Ami Hiroshi showed how beautiful a piece could be. ATLA was a work of art by the greats to begin with, soundtrack and everything.
Same
For me it was House of the Flying Daggers.
The outro song is so amazing
It's reminiscent of a misty, mountainous landscape with cranes foraging in a marshland foreground...
so its reminiscent of china, lol
That's a cloud forest dear
What you picture is basically China because China is a beautiful country.
bro that explanation sounds like my ball hairs at the moment
First heard this instrument when I watched Avatar/Korra, and I fell in love. It expresses such timeless longing.
I have watched so many Chinese themed movies and shows and I was dying to know what this instrument was. I’m so glad I found it, it’s the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard in my life!
Watched a lot of Chinese themed movies and shows, eh? Have you seen the popular Disney movie from ‘98 starring Eddie Murphy, Mulan?
@Mikey Burns how could I not? It was a childhood classic of mine. I had it on VHS and would watch it a lot as a kid!

@@malokeytheallaround, ok. I saw the third Kung Fu Panda in theaters. And did I happen to mention that I’m fascinated with Ancient China?
@Mikey Burns same here! I am huge Ancient China fan. It’s so pretty!
@@malokeytheallaround, I strongly agree! It’s so beautiful.
I may be Indian, but I love Chinese culture. The Erhu is a wonderful instrument and the sound quality is majestic.

True peace, serenity, confidence. Great fortune.
Such a simple looking instrument with the most elegant sounds.
Beautiful rendition of one of my all time favorite Chinese songs, with one of my favorite instruments.
may I say greatest “flute” ever created?

I didn't realize the bow hairs were in between the strings. Fascinating.

Speaks to the tiniest part of my Chinese/Mongolian soul. 😊 Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Wonderful Music and special performance ❤

The harmonics on this…masterful.
It was korra, and now genshin impact liyue region, brought me here, so beautiful and peaceful :)
Climbing the mountains with that soundtrack.
Truly a SSS+ experience

Beautiful name, thanks for the comment.
That was so pretty! Made me feel like living in ancient imperial China.
That's very interesting how I feel the same, it's a deep feeling, such a blessing memory. Thanks for sharing!
This Chinese fiddle makes my heart to yawn for more❤this is soo beautiful
how does that make such a beautiful sound •o•
je préfère infiniment le erhu du 19ème aux arrangements modernes qui le dénaturent à mon avis, c'est d'une pureté incroyable; j aimerais tellement en jouer!
What a wonderful instrument it is…Wow!
Wow when i listing idk litrily iam crying it's so peaceful 😊

Amazing instrument. Handsome player
This made me cry.
This is a beautiful recording of the Erhu!😊

Rolling notes like Cangyan
lost in her light song
Thank you for this wonderful performance
Sounds like a really hard instrument to play
Absolutely, stunningly beautiful.
I kinda want one of these
Simply magical
Fiddlement MSM??!??!1
The theremin's seems like it owes a lot to the erhu !
Hört sich himmlisch schön an wie ein Lied von innen.wie früh am Morgen wenn die Vögel beginnen zu singen
So simple looking, yet so captivating. Can it even be played wrong?
As someone who tried to learn it from my grandpa, it 10000% can be played wrong, and it will sound like a dying cat
Is this Jasmine flower? So beautiful ❤️
My boy playing the hell outta that schloo-bah 🔥🔥
Yerrrr
Simply beautiful
Such an emotional instrument
One of the reasons why China is the best
@@Theibis31 no country is the best, they all have flaws but China is pretty damn cool.
Fire fiddlement moment 🔥
I feel at peace relaxed
Gonna buy one of these and learn how to play- very beautiful sounds
Have you bought it yet?
@@TheWriter86 I’m poor rn lmao waiting for the right moment
@@RookHuntDoersame
Be honest, Kung Fu Panda brought you here. It did for me lol
Kung fu didnt get me here i just searched it.
Nope, I was searching for the Sheng and Guzheng.
yup
It looks like you would have to rosin both sides of the bow string. Awesome instrument, would like to build one and teach myself to play.
ya u do have to rosin both sides
Beautiful music!
Awesome sound !
Sooo Beautiful I could Cry 😓
lovely instrument
Beautiful and brilliant
Oh so that's where that classic sound comes from

Beautiful.
Sounds amazing! This could almost be a Scottish fiddle tune as well, due to the use of the pentatonic scale.
That is so beautiful
ahh yes this is what i wanted to SeArCh from YoUtUbE
Erhu, when you go beyond the violin in haunting sound!
Thats was beautiful
Que Lindo Cara 😔❤
Just beautiful
What a talented artist! This is such a beautiful song :) I am in South Korea and I have read that Korea has this and a similar instrument called a Haegeum. I love this instrument and I would to buy one. Any suggestions as to where?
Sounds like mo lihwa?
Exceptional
I could swear i didnt even think it was an instrument i thought it was some really talented chinese woman singing.
That sounds beautiful!
I love fiddlement on Chinese island
Pluckbill definitely carries
I listen the music every day 😊
That music was so comforting for me.
It was serene and so personal.
I want to learn to play one.
Is Erhu music written in the western style with musical notation and fingering or is it by numbers?
Where could I buy a book with these lovely melodies?
I think I can just improvise so what sounds comforting..or do you play a strict sequence?
Thank you so much.
You also looked very smart.
I love your music.
Thank you
Can hear the han chinese folk representations and sounds in this instrument. Oh how times have changed.
Amazing
This is my favorite insturmant, I want to learn it
