@@중추석 I'll probably regret this, but here goes. Please explain to me where religion or Jesus comes into this? This is music; very good music. Created for normal people to enjoy. What, if any is your objection?
As a Chinese, the song basically uses all traditional Chinese musical instruments. I have not heard the feeling of electronic synthesis. The composer knows Chinese culture very well. I am grateful to the composer for creating such excellent ancient Chinese music.
As a Chinese I cannot believe this song was made by a Finnish. He really knows the core of Chinese culture. Thank you so much for making such great music and promoting our culture.
Great. This song has been reproduced on many music websites in China. I know it may be unauthorized. But it touched hundreds of millions of Chinese people. Thank you
I am a Chinese who has been unemployed for the past three years due to health problems and a series of complicated things. My body was not recovering, and sometimes late at night I had suicidal thoughts. I heard this song accidentally, and it gave me strength. I will exercise more actively, recover as soon as possible, and face the future life optimistically. I believe that I will not be defeated by the disease. As a descendant of the dragon, I will fight bravely! !thank you😃
Stand proud, in your mind you already made it to the top, now the body just needs it's occassional push but also it's time to follow the mind, heal and become stronger. 💪
@@tuinh4492 Thank U bro，My body is basically back to normal now and I am exercising every day. I believe I can find a good job next month and I will be alive again!
I am truly impressed that a non-Asian composer such as yourself can make such splendid Chinese music. If I had heard this in a drama or a game I would truly believe it was done by a Chinese master composer. Thanks for the brilliant work on art here! Eargasms to the fullest!
Antti Martikainen is amazing... He did the same thing for a lot of Irish/Scottish people who heard his Celtic-style music. They were so impressed and moved by his music, considering that he's not Irish/Scottish. (From his name, he's clearly Finnish)
I'm not Chinese, not even Asian but goddamn this brought me to actual tears. It makes me want to learn everything about mythology, history, languages and culture.. This is a perfect, absolutely gorgeous piece of work!

I highly recommend that you read Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en. It is the story about one of my all time favorite chinese mythical characters, The Monkey King.
WOW, a foreign artist writes a great Chinese style music and it is so good that even many Chinese musicians can not write a music containing such a pure Chinoiserie. As a Chinese , I must say the Chinoiserie is very strong. The dragon and immortals（the title "Xian" means immortals in Chinese ） appears vividly in our minds when we listen to the music.
For Chinese instrumentals, you can check out the "仙剑奇侠传" or "Legend of Sword and Fairy" game series. They got some awesome instrumentals in my opinion.
@@michaeldeng5892 This sounds like Tang Taizong using a Göktürk prisoner as a doormat for his horse This sounds like Li Rusong roasting a Japanese granary warehouse in Hanseong This sounds like Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan battle rapping metaphysics This sounds like a Song Dynasty junk volley firing into Jurchen flotsam This sounds like the destruction of the Spanish Empire's economy because their silver had a Hokkien fetish
This music is incredible, it is so chinese that it is hard to believe that a non-chinese made it, congratulations to mr Martikainen for his great knowledge and respect about chinese music and tradition I am spanish, and listening to this music I got up to look out the window and saw the mountains covered in clouds and immediately I saw myself in China among dragons, gods and battles in ancient times, but I was looking at the Pyrenees on the border with France!! hahaha 😅 congratulations again to Antti, great job 😉
Please make more Chinese battle music! Xian and The Forbidden City are my favorite songs of all time! Edit: It's four years later and these two songs are still my favourite songs. They literally inspired the sci-fi/ fantasy story I've been creating since I was 16, and I can go through almost every second of this and Xian and 'see' a music video/ scenes in my head about the aliens/ humans that live on the planet, and the specific characters/ cultures as well (the planet is even named Xian in honor of this song, bc this one and The Forbidden City (not to mention heaps of other Antii Martikainen songs) inspired the world the most). Love your work, and I hope you make more Chinese songs in the future
Im a Chinese and my tears have went out because of this piece of master work. This theme music has made a scenario that put me as a war general who is commanding 60 legions ! Finally, one epic music has came out and its got nothing to do with Kungfu ! Kung-fu is one way to express the heroic spiritual thing in individual but its too shallow to presenting the whole culture. Discipline and sacrifice for the greater good is our tags too !! it's the country explained "The art of War "by Sun Tzu in books in B.C500 after all. Thank you @Antti Martikainen for your great work !!!
War has never been a big issue in China, mostly because the only invaders were the Mongol tribes in the north that only steal food and leave. No wonder there aren't that many war songs.
I sincerely hope that is true. and yet, I know otherwise. Huang tribe descended from western lands, possibly down the mountain-side of Tibetan plateau. Armed with bronze weapons, they brought indigenous tribes, the nine peoples, to their knees, taking a fragment of each tribe's totem--antler of deer, snout of boar, claw of tiger, scale of fish, and so on--and merging them into the dragon we know. Central plains are fertile and never knew peace; each of the four corners had foes, each with with an umbrella term. Raids are but minor issues; some actually seized mandate of heaven, Zhou rose in the west, then Qin, later the five Hunnic tribes, followed by Jin of Jurchen, Yuan of Mongols and Qing of Manchu. Wars and song of them are so abundant, refusal to fight have actually passed on. Ballad of Mulan, on the surface, tells of a brave woman who fights in her father's stead, but the war heroine willfully left lofty station, for she never wanted to be part of it, be the liege Hunnic or Han.
Not quite true, Franklin. Even according to Chinese orthodox thinking, "The empire long united must divide - long divided, must unite." Civil war was a perennial issue in Chinese history even when there wasn't anyone else to fight, since after all the empire was rich and powerful and provided strong incentives to try and gain control of it at all costs. But beyond that, as kailliang mentions there's quite a few "official" dynasties whose origins actually lie in various nations and tribal groupings that, prior to their successful invasion, wouldn't previously have been considered proper Chinese (and some of which, after their invasion, still weren't - in particular the Yuan and Qing). The fact is, steppe nomads aren't stupid. Raiding China for food was great and all, but a big reason to raid China was because it was a great source of luxuries and other trade goods not easy to acquire in the steppes. And even if one raids purely for food, raiding for food is dangerous and difficult - owning land and peasants and taxing them for food is safe and easy. If the opportunity arises and the dynasty is too weak to protect itself, why not move in and become lords and rulers, and so control ALL of the wealth of China, rather than merely nibbling at the edges and fleeing with scraps? But leaving all that aside, even when China was united and stable ambitious Emperors have liked to try and leave their mark on history by expanding its frontiers, and they didn't do so by offering really nice fruit baskets. Wars were regularly fought in Central Asia, Southeast Asia (Vietnam has a long-standing and deep-seated distrust of China for this reason), Korea, and Tibet for reasons of trade, prestige, and outright conquest - it's worth noting that originally, "China" meant the Zhongyuan or Central Plains region, which is a pretty small fraction of what can be considered modern-day China. Long expansion and assimilation was what created the China we know today, and again, it wasn't accomplished with a song and dance number. In short, war. War never changes.
China and India my two favorite ancient civilizations, one is the land of spirituality that gave us yoga and ayurveda and one gave us four great inventions that human kind will never forget!!
Xian (Chinese: 仙/仚/僊; pinyin: xiān; Wade-Giles: hsien) is a Chinese word for an enlightened person, translatable in English as: "spiritually immortal; transcendent; super-human; celestial being" (in Daoist/Taoist philosophy and cosmology) "physically immortal; immortal person; immortalist; saint" (in Daoist religion and pantheon) "alchemist; one who seeks the elixir of life; one who practices longevity techniques" or by extension "(alchemical, dietary, qigong) methods for attaining immortality" (in Chinese alchemy) "wizard; magician; shaman" (in Chinese mythology) "genie; elf, fairy; nymph" (in popular Chinese literature, 仙境 xian jing is "fairyland", Faerie) "sage living high in the mountains; mountain-man; hermit; recluse" (folk etymology for the character 仙) "immortal (talent); accomplished person; celestial (beauty); marvelous; extraordinary" (metaphorical modifier)
2020 and I still think this is one of the best Chinese battle music I ever heard... and although I am not Chinese but this makes my heart flutter imagining the battle scene 😍
I'm French here, it's classical music which is very popular, especially Mozart, we have operas and classical music concerts with great musicians, I've never heard your music, it's the first time I've heard it. with all your instruments it's wow I close my eyes and I feel like I'm there with the conductor in the middle it's really unique I hope that one day a musical orchestra like this will come to PARIS so that we can see them.
Like the Great Dragon, we are long-lived. We have seen the rise and fall of others, and yet we remain. We have suffered wars, disasters and invasion. And still we persist on. Like the Great Dragon, we have great wisdom. We respect our elders, for they are a font of knowledge. We worship our ancestors and those before, for history has much to teach us. Like the Great Dragon, we are benevolent. We share our knowledge, our culture, our writing with others. Silk, Jade, Porcelain and Paper, our gifts to the world. Like the Great Dragon, we are humble. We honor our families and teachers, for what are we without their guidance? Humility is a virtue, Confucius says. Give your utmost but take no credit. We are the Descendants of the Dragon. We have much to be proud of our ancestry. And we shall greet the future with resilience and dignity.
I was inspired by the epic music and picture and wanted to post something equally epic about ancient China. The eastern dragon was a good symbol to describe Chinese culture and so I likened China to one of its most beloved and respected mythological creatures. The dragon is a symbol of the emperor and worshiped as a god in Chinese culture. Its long snake-like body represents China's unbroken lineage through the centuries. According to myth, it has great power over storms and weather but chooses (mostly) not to abuse it over humans. "Descendants of the Dragon" is a term used to describe Chinese people. I'm Chinese but not from China, but still, I believe we should be proud of our own culture.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you think so highly of Confucius and also a bit surprised at the fact you heard about him. Sadly, Confucius (or Kong Fuzi) was born during a dark period of China's history. Warfare and strife were prevalent and his teachings were all but ignored by many warlords. Thankfully his teachings survived the centuries till today.
Драги Мелод I always believe it as one of the golden age of the Chinese civilization. I guess that Confucius was bit too romantic for his time, and his theory was so advanced that was not practical during the warring state.
I'm impressed with your knowledge of Chinese philosophers. Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu were credited as fathers of Daoism (another religion in China) and Sun Tzu with the Art of War. Its funny how three belief systems (Confucianism, Daoism and later, Buddhism) can all coexist peacefully in China. I guess you could say Confucius was born at an appropriate time for him to develop his own philosophies amidst the constant conflict. Indeed the core of his teachings is about being a person of virtue, someone others can look up to and emulate. It sounds like you are also well-versed in other religions such as Islam, Buddhism and even Atheism. Many people equate Islam with Terrorism because of ISIS and that is definitely not true. Most Muslims want peace just like us and want nothing to do with ISIS. I'm honored that you feel that way about me and there's really no shame in admitting it. People gain respect for each other because of their words and actions and not because of their origins. Some people I know dislike Chinese people because of ingrained stereotypes and a perceived threat due to the rise of China but Chinese are really just ordinary people and shouldn't be judged solely by the actions of their government.
As someone who’s only connection to China is being weirdly obsessed with Kung fu panda my entire life, this music is absolutely breathtaking. Perfect thing to listen to when working on my fancomic or painting!
@@zenzehra1070 oh sick! I’m 19 and it’s been my special interest since I was a kid. I’m a fanartist now with an ongoing comic and I’m getting a degree in illustration
this song makes me imagine the scenes of an ancient city in China, Xi'an. Just like a western traveller arrives the rich and bustling Xi'An in Tang dynasty for the first time. He settled down, had his own family, and makes a big fortune.
As a young African American boy i for some reason love listening to ancient Chinese and Japanese traditional and battle music. It makes my inner soul come out and dance and do karate like I love.
Japanese traditional music is a simple version of China Tang Dynasty music. Almost the same. Many instruments are also instruments in the Tang Dynasty.
StopMinecraftVIOLENCE ..... ok that’s a bit rude I am Chinese and I find this a bit offensive this is really good but the other music is supposed to be calming and relaxing for those who like to meditate and that you think of it as not good Chinese music it is extremely disrespectful
Dragon Riders, I can completely understand why you would think that, but I don’t think that’s what this person meant. Chinese music covers a huge spread of genres, from soothing to spirited to romantic to dramatic. Unfortunately, it seems that when many people, including ones who aren’t Chinese, make Chinese themed music, they stick to one genre that is calm and relaxing, and so the full scope and depth of Chinese music isn’t properly displayed. Far from being disrespectful, I believe what they were trying to express was their appreciation that someone was trying to explore a side of this music that isn’t easily found on UA-cam. Peaceful Chinese music is amazing, and I love to listen to it, but it seems that often people only post that kind, like it was the only kind of Chinese music to listen to. Am I expressing what I’m trying to say? It was meant as a compliment to your lovely culture, not an insult, I believe. There are many facets of your music to appreciate! 😁
Annette Ford yes I do understand that but In most parts the calming Chinese music is the Westerns version of it and this is to me just another western piece yes this is good for you guys but for me it’s good but it’s not the best that I have heard as well as there are many parts included into the whole calm music. It’s complicated.....
I’m sure it is. There is much more to this discussion than meets the eye. 😄 I understand, and I just wanted to say that I thought the comment was not intended as an insult. Have a great day!
Im from originally from Ethiopia but lived in the US since i was a kid. my older brother lives in China & i love china culture.. Very respectful & well mannered human beings.. I also love this piece of music 😀
Lack of Sleep The government doesn’t represent the Chinese people. Much like the U.S many Americans are nice people but our government represents us in a bad way.
@@thefaceofregret5416 Not from the US, main-land Chinese tourist in my country are usually rude and obnoxious to the locals.I don't think thats the government's fault
Gabriel Aque maybe they seem rude because mainland chinese usually talk loud. Its normal practice for them in China, maybe some of their actions seem weird and rude, but this all has to do with differences between not just cultures but where people grow up. And when people dont understand such differences it leads to prejudice and stereotypes, same for not just across races, but religion, nationality, ideology, gender, and everything that separates us cause we all have our own identity. Many wont even know that they are perceived as being rude. So we you meet people who are different from you, maybe try to accept differences (different from tolerating them!!):)
Man your music is inspiring and spiritual. Since the day i came across your chanel i don't feel alone anymore, you did create a universe on wich millions can go and find a place of dreams; and in a way i get a sense of freedom i only find in music, most particularly folk music; you take this and much more and create an epic adventure. Unextinguishable thanks, deep gratitude and respect.
Your choice of instrumentation is sublime... I love, love all the bells and percussion, it makes the track deep and rich and then it just explodes into a world of of wonder....An epic score from an epic composer...I am forever in awe ♥
arrghh, its supposed to be a joke based on asian mythical flood dragons "Carp jumps over the dragon gate". Since the song is too stimulating, it accelerates the hidden potential of my imaginary pet carp.
Pretty familiar with composers on UA-cam so I'm not sure how I never found you... Anyway, this is great. I really appreciate that you make your songs worth listening to until the end, that can be hard to do :)
Ross Bugden - Music UA-cam has long since outgrown what any 1 person is capable of searching for in their lifetime. You will always find new, superb artists and composers on this site. That's why this site has been the source of my music for the last 8 years. Never gone back to radio. Never will.
@@davecrupel2817 I agree! And unlike the one on Spotify, the UA-cam algorithm recommends music that you are likely to enjoy even if the video has no more than a couple of views.
Six years later, I'm still waiting for the day Antti composes more music like this and The Forbidden City. I really love this kind of music, it's perfect for listening to while reading some wuxia/xianxia.
it is more like the person climbing the mountain and reaching the top. The mountain representing mortality or life itself. A person climbing and dominating that mountain of life is an immortal.
Just found it, amazing, I used to know a swedish (I am not sure) composer, I met this guy randomly in Beijing and directed him to the wrong direction, that was about 20 years ago, he gave me some of his music. Sometimes I found you nordic people personality very interesting, you don't expect this kind of music composed by a foreigner.
I love being born in the year of the dragon. This music represents the soul and majesty of a Dragon. Fearless fighters, beautiful appearance. Your roar strikes warning, and shows your power to the enemy. Your size imtimidates, and awes, your appearance displays beauty and resiliance
I am Moroccan and I started learning the Chinese language and I came looking for some Chinese songs they are really beautiful ,and i love Chinese culture 🇲🇦🇨🇳❤
This is called "battle music" but it feels peaceful and pleasant to me. I picture like a dragon or big bird with a person riding it, happily soaring/exploring the land. EDIT: Jk I just got to 2:22 :)
The vibes: Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang, and although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Epic music has this incredible ability to make me feel like I'm part of a grand adventure. The powerful orchestral arrangements and soaring melodies create a cinematic experience that's truly awe-inspiring.
I just accidentally bought to this music because I'm preparing something for some dance competitions.. but when I heard all the music wow!! It's really amazing .. my grandfather is half Chinese .. so this music also reminds me of my Chinese ancestors. Great job for the one who made this..
I am really fascinated with the Chinese culture and I am learning how to speak read and write in Chinese. I really love this music. I listen to some traditional Chinese music and I gotta say, this is great,
I am not a very big analyst of music but I can say one thing very confidently- Whenever I listen to this music, some indescribable things start to happen within me!! I really feel like like the ancient warriors I am in the battlefield, with a sword in my hand, fighting till death. Trust me, it's not a joke or sarcastic feeling. Really this music can generate eternal energy. Very good for meditation also...........
At 2 min mark, you know that the part when the Lead Protagonist just unveils his secret Kung Fu technique by accident after nearly being beaten half to death.
+Samaritan Spirit Yes and time to unleash it, but by "accident" usually if the protagonist is a young guy who just learned that secret Kung Fu and still not an expert but have forced into a "boss fight" Good example would be the old classic Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master"
Fantastic! More of this! I've been looking for epic Chinese-style music for a long time, to listen to while reading wuxia stuff or while planning some wuxia-inspired stories of my own. I've mostly only found beautiful Chinese music, epic battle music seems to be so, so rare, only to be found on some OST's. As I started reading Douluo Dalu yesterday, I searched again, and finally found this, a great fit. I've yet to listen to many of your pieces, but while they're all great, this is by far my favourite so far. I'm so buying this album.
I don't know martial arts.. but I know what good music is all about.. love this beautiful theme. I'm from the cook Islands..leaving in New Zealand.. awesome music I can listen to it 24/7
Don't know why, but this feels more like training/preparation montage music. You know, before the battle when it shows the army training as a single unit, the commanders reading maps and giving out commands, walls and traps being erected for the incoming siege, weapons being forged etc.
1 year ago I aksed under wawamustats for a BGMs name,. today UA-cam recommanded me this video which is I asked. Awesome, for the music and the algorithm

Antti Martikainen is amazing... He did the same thing for a lot of Irish/Scottish people who heard his Celtic-style music. They were so impressed and moved by his music, considering that he's not Irish/Scottish. (From his name, he's clearly Finnish)
Anyone with a passion for music and work hard to try different cultural music is a very rare find but possible.
I agree this is incredible. His celtic and nordic music is too

WOW, a foreign artist writes a great Chinese style music and it is so good that even many Chinese musicians can not write a music containing such a pure Chinoiserie. As a Chinese , I must say the Chinoiserie is very strong. The dragon and immortals（the title "Xian" means immortals in Chinese ） appears vividly in our minds when we listen to the music.
For Chinese instrumentals, you can check out the "仙剑奇侠传" or "Legend of Sword and Fairy" game series. They got some awesome instrumentals in my opinion.

Im a Chinese and my tears have went out because of this piece of master work. This theme music has made a scenario that put me as a war general who is commanding 60 legions !

Kung-fu is one way to express the heroic spiritual thing in individual but its too shallow to presenting the whole culture.

Thank you @Antti Martikainen for your great work !!!
War has never been a big issue in China, mostly because the only invaders were the Mongol tribes in the north that only steal food and leave. No wonder there aren't that many war songs.
China (or the regions in today modern China) have been at war like since the first chinese was born lol.
I sincerely hope that is true.
and yet, I know otherwise.
Huang tribe descended from western lands, possibly down the mountain-side of Tibetan plateau.
Armed with bronze weapons, they brought indigenous tribes, the nine peoples, to their knees, taking a fragment of each tribe's totem--antler of deer, snout of boar, claw of tiger, scale of fish, and so on--and merging them into the dragon we know.
Central plains are fertile and never knew peace; each of the four corners had foes, each with with an umbrella term.
Raids are but minor issues; some actually seized mandate of heaven, Zhou rose in the west, then Qin, later the five Hunnic tribes, followed by Jin of Jurchen, Yuan of Mongols and Qing of Manchu.
Wars and song of them are so abundant, refusal to fight have actually passed on.
Ballad of Mulan, on the surface, tells of a brave woman who fights in her father's stead, but the war heroine willfully left lofty station, for she never wanted to be part of it, be the liege Hunnic or Han.
It's really sad that the tale of Mulan is both fiction AND historically inaccurate.
Not quite true, Franklin. Even according to Chinese orthodox thinking, "The empire long united must divide - long divided, must unite." Civil war was a perennial issue in Chinese history even when there wasn't anyone else to fight, since after all the empire was rich and powerful and provided strong incentives to try and gain control of it at all costs. But beyond that, as kailliang mentions there's quite a few "official" dynasties whose origins actually lie in various nations and tribal groupings that, prior to their successful invasion, wouldn't previously have been considered proper Chinese (and some of which, after their invasion, still weren't - in particular the Yuan and Qing).
The fact is, steppe nomads aren't stupid. Raiding China for food was great and all, but a big reason to raid China was because it was a great source of luxuries and other trade goods not easy to acquire in the steppes. And even if one raids purely for food, raiding for food is dangerous and difficult - owning land and peasants and taxing them for food is safe and easy. If the opportunity arises and the dynasty is too weak to protect itself, why not move in and become lords and rulers, and so control ALL of the wealth of China, rather than merely nibbling at the edges and fleeing with scraps?
But leaving all that aside, even when China was united and stable ambitious Emperors have liked to try and leave their mark on history by expanding its frontiers, and they didn't do so by offering really nice fruit baskets. Wars were regularly fought in Central Asia, Southeast Asia (Vietnam has a long-standing and deep-seated distrust of China for this reason), Korea, and Tibet for reasons of trade, prestige, and outright conquest - it's worth noting that originally, "China" meant the Zhongyuan or Central Plains region, which is a pretty small fraction of what can be considered modern-day China. Long expansion and assimilation was what created the China we know today, and again, it wasn't accomplished with a song and dance number.
In short, war. War never changes.
Amazing! :D
This is mindbogglingly awesome! Cultural aspects are carefully implemented and the epicness is greatly amplified! Subbed!
Wooaaaaw truly amazing, it gives me goosebumps 🤩

"physically immortal; immortal person; immortalist; saint" (in Daoist religion and pantheon)
"alchemist; one who seeks the elixir of life; one who practices longevity techniques" or by extension "(alchemical, dietary, qigong) methods for attaining immortality" (in Chinese alchemy)
"wizard; magician; shaman" (in Chinese mythology)
"genie; elf, fairy; nymph" (in popular Chinese literature, 仙境 xian jing is "fairyland", Faerie)
"sage living high in the mountains; mountain-man; hermit; recluse" (folk etymology for the character 仙)
"immortal (talent); accomplished person; celestial (beauty); marvelous; extraordinary" (metaphorical modifier)

Humility is a virtue, Confucius says. Give your utmost but take no credit.
We are the Descendants of the Dragon.
We have much to be proud of our ancestry. And we shall greet the future with resilience and dignity.
I was inspired by the epic music and picture and wanted to post something equally epic about ancient China. The eastern dragon was a good symbol to describe Chinese culture and so I likened China to one of its most beloved and respected mythological creatures.
The dragon is a symbol of the emperor and worshiped as a god in Chinese culture. Its long snake-like body represents China's unbroken lineage through the centuries. According to myth, it has great power over storms and weather but chooses (mostly) not to abuse it over humans.
"Descendants of the Dragon" is a term used to describe Chinese people. I'm Chinese but not from China, but still, I believe we should be proud of our own culture.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you think so highly of Confucius and also a bit surprised at the fact you heard about him.
Sadly, Confucius (or Kong Fuzi) was born during a dark period of China's history. Warfare and strife were prevalent and his teachings were all but ignored by many warlords. Thankfully his teachings survived the centuries till today.
Драги Мелод I always believe it as one of the golden age of the Chinese civilization. I guess that Confucius was bit too romantic for his time, and his theory was so advanced that was not practical during the warring state.
I'm impressed with your knowledge of Chinese philosophers. Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu were credited as fathers of Daoism (another religion in China) and Sun Tzu with the Art of War. Its funny how three belief systems (Confucianism, Daoism and later, Buddhism) can all coexist peacefully in China.
I guess you could say Confucius was born at an appropriate time for him to develop his own philosophies amidst the constant conflict. Indeed the core of his teachings is about being a person of virtue, someone others can look up to and emulate. It sounds like you are also well-versed in other religions such as Islam, Buddhism and even Atheism. Many people equate Islam with Terrorism because of ISIS and that is definitely not true. Most Muslims want peace just like us and want nothing to do with ISIS.
I'm honored that you feel that way about me and there's really no shame in admitting it. People gain respect for each other because of their words and actions and not because of their origins. Some people I know dislike Chinese people because of ingrained stereotypes and a perceived threat due to the rise of China but Chinese are really just ordinary people and shouldn't be judged solely by the actions of their government.
A UA-camr It is interesting that some actually consider Confucius as a religion, which it is not. It's more a methodology of ruling.

StopMinecraftVIOLENCE ..... ok that’s a bit rude
I am Chinese and I find this a bit offensive this is really good but the other music is supposed to be calming and relaxing for those who like to meditate and that you think of it as not good Chinese music it is extremely disrespectful
Sounds like you would like Black Kirin or other Chinese metal bands like Dreamspirit
Dragon Riders, I can completely understand why you would think that, but I don’t think that’s what this person meant.
Chinese music covers a huge spread of genres, from soothing to spirited to romantic to dramatic. Unfortunately, it seems that when many people, including ones who aren’t Chinese, make Chinese themed music, they stick to one genre that is calm and relaxing, and so the full scope and depth of Chinese music isn’t properly displayed.
Far from being disrespectful, I believe what they were trying to express was their appreciation that someone was trying to explore a side of this music that isn’t easily found on UA-cam. Peaceful Chinese music is amazing, and I love to listen to it, but it seems that often people only post that kind, like it was the only kind of Chinese music to listen to.
Am I expressing what I’m trying to say? It was meant as a compliment to your lovely culture, not an insult, I believe. There are many facets of your music to appreciate! 😁
Annette Ford yes I do understand that but In most parts the calming Chinese music is the Westerns version of it and this is to me just another western piece yes this is good for you guys but for me it’s good but it’s not the best that I have heard as well as there are many parts included into the whole calm music. It’s complicated.....
I’m sure it is. There is much more to this discussion than meets the eye. 😄 I understand, and I just wanted to say that I thought the comment was not intended as an insult. Have a great day!

Gabriel Aque maybe they seem rude because mainland chinese usually talk loud. Its normal practice for them in China, maybe some of their actions seem weird and rude, but this all has to do with differences between not just cultures but where people grow up. And when people dont understand such differences it leads to prejudice and stereotypes, same for not just across races, but religion, nationality, ideology, gender, and everything that separates us cause we all have our own identity. Many wont even know that they are perceived as being rude. So we you meet people who are different from you, maybe try to accept differences (different from tolerating them!!):)

Uhh.... How did this go from talking about Chinese tales to Fang being a racist?
This is called "battle music" but it feels peaceful and pleasant to me. I picture like a dragon or big bird with a person riding it, happily soaring/exploring the land.
EDIT: Jk I just got to 2:22 :)
This music takes me back to my Asian ancestors, and it feels like I am participating in battle with them. Very good track.
I was brought here from a wawamumu stats video showing the GDP of nations from 1840-2040.
Han Zhang me too :)
Same
Me too!!!!
One of the things that makes me proud of my Chinese ancestry. ❤
This is pure beauty! You're my #1 role model in music production! :)
Great to hear that!
What about Derek and Brandon Fiechter?
The vibes:
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang, and although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Shut up
@@jordanaftab1181 no one asked for your rudeness : )

@@jordanaftab1181 Are you trying to sound all racist? At least Martin Luther King did more than you

Epic music has this incredible ability to make me feel like I'm part of a grand adventure. The powerful orchestral arrangements and soaring melodies create a cinematic experience that's truly awe-inspiring.
This is beautiful. I was searching for music for a roleplaying game I'm DMing and this is a perfect selection for my playlist.
I just accidentally bought to this music because I'm preparing something for some dance competitions.. but when I heard all the music wow!! It's really amazing .. my grandfather is half Chinese .. so this music also reminds me of my Chinese ancestors. Great job for the one who made this..
I am really fascinated with the Chinese culture and I am learning how to speak read and write in Chinese. I really love this music. I listen to some traditional Chinese music and I gotta say, this is great,
Hope one day you can make it
I am not a very big analyst of music but I can say one thing very confidently- Whenever I listen to this music, some indescribable things start to happen within me!! I really feel like like the ancient warriors I am in the battlefield, with a sword in my hand, fighting till death. Trust me, it's not a joke or sarcastic feeling. Really this music can generate eternal energy. Very good for meditation also...........
At 2 min mark, you know that the part when the Lead Protagonist just unveils his secret Kung Fu technique by accident after nearly being beaten half to death.
Hanferd accident? dont you mean time to unleash it?!
+Samaritan Spirit
Yes and time to unleash it, but by "accident" usually if the protagonist is a young guy who just learned that secret Kung Fu and still not an expert but have forced into a "boss fight"
Good example would be the old classic Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master"
Yeah 😂
Lol 🤣
All your music is super beautiful! Love it!
This is probably the music that was playing when the qing dynasty was fighting against imperial japan in the first sino japanese war
@@浊玉上仙wow that's pretty good!
I play Chinese Orchestra music and I am a part of a local Chinese Orchestra band. This music gives me FEELS ;-; It's too gooood
Fantastic! More of this! I've been looking for epic Chinese-style music for a long time, to listen to while reading wuxia stuff or while planning some wuxia-inspired stories of my own. I've mostly only found beautiful Chinese music, epic battle music seems to be so, so rare, only to be found on some OST's. As I started reading Douluo Dalu yesterday, I searched again, and finally found this, a great fit. I've yet to listen to many of your pieces, but while they're all great, this is by far my favourite so far. I'm so buying this album.
"a real warrior never quits" from kungfu panda by master sifu keeps echoing in my head.
Thanks, this music made my day
Played this as background music for my groups play and it was hilarious but this matched the whole concept!! Thanks for this
Wawamustats brought me here!
Listening to this is moooooore EPIC!!! GREAT WORK SIR!!
Was this ever in a video game? It sounds perfect for final bosses.
I swear uts in the firdt kung fu panda game which was made in 2010
Black myth wukong will be perfect
Magnificent piece of music. Looking forward to more Chinese music from you.
Happy Chinese New Years 2024!!!
Absolutely beautiful. I feel it's important to understand and appreciate different cultures. The wonderful music is a great way to start 👍🏽
I don't know martial arts.. but I know what good music is all about.. love this beautiful theme. I'm from the cook Islands..leaving in New Zealand.. awesome music I can listen to it 24/7
Listened to this while playing Genji in Overwatch.
I am now a Pro Genji that doesn't need healing 24/7.
NeonTechAJ
Genji is Japanese, dont woosh me
Genji is Japanese, but no problem, if you wanna play with a Chinese, you can use Mei ?)
Genji who doesn't need healing .No way you're lying !!!
the year is june 2023..and youtube recommended this great music to me..thank you and respect
Don't know why, but this feels more like training/preparation montage music. You know, before the battle when it shows the army training as a single unit, the commanders reading maps and giving out commands, walls and traps being erected for the incoming siege, weapons being forged etc.
1 year ago I aksed under wawamustats for a BGMs name,. today UA-cam recommanded me this video which is I asked. Awesome, for the music and the algorithm
King Windrider I also search this song for a lot of time
4:46 marvellous.
This music makes me want to jump out of the roof and start fighting eveyone 😂 I feel magical nowww 😅
😂😂😂
Hahahahahaaha!! Oh myyyy.. Best comment ever hahahaha!!
厉害了
This is what drives me to go to these places, to explore the world learn more about the ancient culture and religion that Ancient China shares.
I teach in China but currently not there at the moment. Makes me long to go back.
