+Allison Baker It's refreshing to see someone these days getting joy out of little things like that, haha :) It's almost like she's on drugs or drunk :D
Just wanted to say your video is really soothing and calming. I had a stressful day and it helped me relax and unwind. Thanks so much for the video! :)
It's so lovely how you thoroughly enjoy your life and seem to not take anything for granted! This is a fantastic video and very interesting. Thank you for posting!
I used to have somewhat of a nanny like you (I say somewhat because they didn't pay her and barely thanked her for raising me but I digress). She was from China originally and my parents were often dropping me into her apartment next door whenever they had work, fighting etc. She was always quite nice. Had somewhat of broken English. Always watched her practice calligraphy...Found it very relaxing. The grinding of the ink, the form and motions of the hands, the songs she used to hum (none of which I understood) but relaxing none the less. That and a lot of odd folk stories she used to tell me...Most of them being creepy/horror in context. Not that I minded. I guess what I'm getting at it is you bring back a lot of fond memories for me. Just discovered your videos. Relaxing and nostalgic. Brings back some of the few good memories of my childhood. I'm not entirely sure if you're Korean or Chinese (One of the two being my guess). But thank you for the flashbacks. Subscribed.
Haha, yeah, the stories were more because I always liked that sort of stuff. I was addicted to scary stories and movies as a kid. Well, I still am actually. I'm a writer (often a ghost writer for money) and a lot of the tales she told me influenced my writing style as an adult. I just wanted to clear up that I wasn't trying to imply that I relate you or your videos to something creepy. ; ) Thank you.
Hahaha, by all means, whichever way you relate. My grandma's stories were fascinating in the say manner as you described. I may do some videos of those stories.
I have hard time communicating with my viewer now. I think it maybe youtube or google's reason. In case I can not send you link, check my channel. I shall title these stories - StoryTime, childhood story, or my grandma's story. Thank you.
I've watched several of your videos in one sitting tonight; I'm just enjoying them so much. You seem like such a sweet, cheerful person, and you've definitely cheered me up. Thank you! :D
i wish that i could be one of her students if she still teaches, shes also has a great personality she just relaxes me and rids me of my headaches thank you yanghaiying
"We will... we will... GRIND YOU!" LOL! That rocks! I love your spirit Yanghaiying.... I love your videos... I love your advice.... I love your art... I love how you cook and THANK YOU for introducing us to your culture in such an artful way... it's beautiful!! You're the best!! Always my favorite on YT!
P.S. I've been watching you paint bamboo trees for quite a long time now and I still can't do it! LOL... maybe art just isn't my thing. But I love watching you do it... you make it look so easy.
Ohhh. I was listening to the audiobook of the classic novel _Musashi_ and characters kept asking one another about whether or not anyone had an ink stone. Thank you for demonstrating how inkstones and ink sticks work. Now I understand.
Eiji Yoshikawa's novel _Musashi_ is a very long epic novel which portrays life in a region of Japan during the end of the Samurai era. I love how he includes observations about the seasons, the landscape, the trees, plants, weather conditions, and animals too. I like looking up words from it on the Internet and learning new things, like about inkstones! It is similar to Mikhail Sholokhov's series _And Quiet Flows the Dawn_ which was also written in installments. Both books immerse the reader in the everyday life of that time and in how various characters try to make sense of life and their existence. It will be interesting to see how Yoshikawa chooses to end the book. Until then, I am still enjoying it. I am more than halfway through. Thank you for asking, Yang. Now the next time a character mentions an inkstone, I will remember you!@@yanghaiying
I am in complete joy when I watch and listen to your videos. I giggle with you when the pots bubble. Your stories are wonderful and yes such a soothing voice you have! How and where do I contact you to make an order. Also thank you so very much for your content. I had so many questions and each video one after the other I have watched. Each video answering another question. So perfect to me I did not need to search further once I find you! 🙂❤️💕❤️🙂 thank you again, I have subscribed to your channel and will continue watching!
When you said,"We will, we will grind you." I laughed out loud because it was so unexpected. I was kind of feeling a bit sad and confused about life before watching this video, but that song cleared my mind.
You know those imaginary dinner parties you throw, where you can invite whoever you want - dead or alive - and the table is surrounded by inspirational figures holding fantastic conversation. Yeah, Haiying's on my list, I think.
I don't know how to spell but the type of ink that you called "Qi" (?) seems actually quite good, but it is limited in its purpose. After having seen your demonstration, I would agree with you in that it's not good for black lines. For those who need even black texture with no faltering of shade, other inks are better. However, it seems that if the intent is to work with subtle shades of grey, this might be better. Its nature seems to be more very dark grey as opposed to black. This can be good though. It means one can make lighter shades of grey with less water in the brush, which can help keep the crispness in the stroke. Using a strong black ink for light grey would mean more water, which would change the look of the stroke. On another note, the bluish black might be good for painting a night sky. Be well madam.
Oh, it's like one of those theoretical questions you answer, similar to 'what would you do if you won the lottery?' 'If you had to throw a dinner party and you could invite anyone you wanted, from the past or the present, then who would you invite?' So, I would invite you, David Mitchell, Elizabeth I, Jonie Mitchell, Julia Child, Aristotle, Eddie Izzard and many others.... you get the idea.
Also, despite my sadness because of my lack of oolong, I did enjoy the video :) now I want to go to China or Japan or SOMEWHERE of oriental culture...actually anywhere but America or Mexico would be fine X3 either way, I found the video both informative and relaxing. Thanks so much for uploading :)
I think the word you were looking for was soot a black powdery or flaky substance consisting largely of amorphous carbon, produced by the incomplete burning of organic matter.
im not sure if u can do anything about it but when the camera is moving with the grinding it gives me a lot of disorientation and whatnot. i love the video i just wish it was less difficult to watch
I think this video would have been better if you hadn't applied the image stabilization to it because it was wobbling all around as you were doing things like grinding the ink. otherwise very relaxing as always :)
The video was very nice and relaxing But the things you do with some of the brushes, namely halfway through painting that mountain And the poor brush at 33:43 That made me cringe.
Kayla Cha After grinding, I use the ink before it get dried. There are times I do not finish, I let it dry by itself. In summer it takes shorter time. In winter, a bit longer, a couple of hour or so. I do not wipe ink. Do you mean you want the ink stone to be clean? It does not have to.
"We will we will grind you" ...I subbed right when I heard that lol! I love her!
I am pure pure pure Chinese learning to use English.
Beautiful video, Great job love your voice!
You’re English gets better with each video, I wish you good health from 🇺🇸
Oh my gosh, your funny ad-lib is so adorable! Like when you got excited by the bubbles coming out of the top of that miniature kettle, love it!
+Allison Baker It's refreshing to see someone these days getting joy out of little things like that, haha :) It's almost like she's on drugs or drunk :D
@@CookingWithCows thats just haiying, a rare creature who still appreciates the little things
Dear Yanghaiying, can you do a video about the significance of jade in the chinese culture and maybe show different quality jades? thank you
Just wanted to say your video is really soothing and calming. I had a stressful day and it helped me relax and unwind. Thanks so much for the video! :)
your voice is very relaxing
What a peaceful voice. It's so meditative and relaxing. It puts me in a trance.
I'm not sure if I've ever commented on this channel, but I watch it all the time.
I feel like I'm getting a spiritual lesson and an art lesson at the same time. This is great.
Instant subscribe. It's quite amazing to watch you, hear the stories and see a whole lot of culture. It's purely amazing, great videos.
i love how you giggled at the bubbles
It's so lovely how you thoroughly enjoy your life and seem to not take anything for granted! This is a fantastic video and very interesting. Thank you for posting!
You have the best voice & I love listening to you, awesome videos
"Please, I am not discriminating...this looks like a slender young man." as a slender young man I can confirm.
Haha, that's a justified confirmation.
Is that euphemism for what i think it is? Hahahaha. Very very cute.
What difference does it make. This person is an artist generously showing us something special.
I used to have somewhat of a nanny like you (I say somewhat because they didn't pay her and barely thanked her for raising me but I digress). She was from China originally and my parents were often dropping me into her apartment next door whenever they had work, fighting etc.

This is very touching. No matter I remind me of the creepy story or your parents busy work/fighting, I am honored.
Haha, yeah, the stories were more because I always liked that sort of stuff. I was addicted to scary stories and movies as a kid. Well, I still am actually. I'm a writer (often a ghost writer for money) and a lot of the tales she told me influenced my writing style as an adult.

That would make for great and interesting videos. I'll be sure to keep on a look out for them.

We will, we will, watch you! :) The ink sticks have some very beautiful designs on them. It would be quite interesting to see how they are made.
I so appreciate the honesty about each product
Thank you for the best sleep in weeks. Your voice is so soothing and wonderful. Tingles before sleep is amazing
I love watching the ink grinding videos of yours. In fact an ink grinding video was the one that made me start watching your videos

I love the water pitcher drainer thingies that you showed at the beginning.
Love your videos
The 'we will grind you' part make me laugh :) please keep them coming

I think your ink grinding videos are wonderful.
I love all of the sounds especially the ink grinding

I've never seen ink grinding and found it really informative also I love how happy you sound.
Aaah, I love your videos. Your "we will we will grind you" made my day. Thank you :D

Wonderful video. Very soothing and relaxing. Thank you so much for the upload and have a great day.
This was very nice and very relaxing! Thank you so much for uploading!

Well i think your picking it up wonderfully! Very Good!
Please do more chinese brush painting maybe like Henry Li. There's so many traditional and beautiful motives e.g. Chrysantheme , orchide ...

Thank you very much. That is a very poetic explanation of the nuance. I enjoy reading and ponding on each of your words.
"we will we will grind you". ........ You're funny. I just discovered your channel. You're wonderful too.
Lovely video. Thank you for you beautiful work.
Agree. One has to go away from home to find out how good home is.
the designs on the inks makes them almost too pretty to use
"Weeeee will, weeeee will, Grind you~~" Subscribed! :D Made my day.

Another Queen fan! You rock :)
the grinding is the best noise ever
6 years ago I posted
Still to this day I adore this video
your videos are so helpful.. Thanks :)
Is ink stick used mainly for calligraphy?
holy crap this is cool!
Also, despite my sadness because of my lack of oolong, I did enjoy the video :) now I want to go to China or Japan or SOMEWHERE of oriental culture...actually anywhere but America or Mexico would be fine X3 either way, I found the video both informative and relaxing. Thanks so much for uploading :)
This latino is in love with your voice :)
I think the word you were looking for was soot

I tried but can not find for now. I will look again.

33:45 too

you're he absolute best!!!!

You can edit comments you know.
Edit: Like this!
im not sure if u can do anything about it but when the camera is moving with the grinding it gives me a lot of disorientation and whatnot. i love the video i just wish it was less difficult to watch
Seymour Funk Thank you for letting me know. But I believe you are right. There is nothing I can do about it.
Seymour Funk Actually I am watching it now, I feel what you felt.
I learn something each time I watch this. BTW: the word meaning “not shiny “ is spelled with an “e”...MATTE.
What if the ink stick comes down to the writings on the stick? Does this influence the color?
I remember her answering that in another video, it does not influence the color. :) kind of neat.
Kind of like a grain of salt in a swimming pool. It is there but don't change that much.
What is that?
Isn't it a great song!
I think this video would have been better if you hadn't applied the image stabilization to it because it was wobbling all around as you were doing things like grinding the ink. otherwise very relaxing as always :)
How would you know when to stop grinding the ink?
best video super.
I also charge for my labor.
I really like you
i can hear the difference of the quality in the grinding sound.
The second you went for the oolong, I just sadfaced into a corner. I have no oolong in my house :(
You're a wonderful woman
Be strong, deal with it. hhahah
The video was very nice and relaxing
But the things you do with some of the brushes, namely halfway through painting that mountain
And the poor brush at 33:43
That made me cringe.
Question: Does it dry on its own?
+Kayla Cha I do not understand this question. What dries on its own?
+yanghaiying after you grind the stone, does the ink dry by itself or do you need to wipe it?
Kayla Cha After grinding, I use the ink before it get dried. There are times I do not finish, I let it dry by itself. In summer it takes shorter time. In winter, a bit longer, a couple of hour or so. I do not wipe ink. Do you mean you want the ink stone to be clean? It does not have to.
+yanghaiying thank you! I understand now! 🙂
When you get it black enough.
Why does the camera move like that? What is it attached to?
It was on tripod. It might be the camera stabilization function. Thank you for noticing.
YES! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!
You could do a video doing these sorts of requests maybe. Win/win. You would earn some views and make a lot of people very happy. Just a thought ...
you belong on a fortune cookie
;P
Hmm it's made out of soot? Interesting.
at 2:10 you speak French again ;-) "C'est pas juste"
+Zhun MAO 是。
ms. haiying (if i may call you that) this might sound rood but,are you pure asian that learned english?,or are you half asian half english?
Ethan samuel she said earlier she is pure Chinese learning English
pure a a diamond. ginger ale
Go to 10:11 and have closed captions ON. Do yourself the favor. :)

"Matte" :-)
Be honest with us...you um....smoke a little um....you know.....right? ;-)
I imagine thats probably looked down by her.
TharoomMan Some comments ask to be ignore. Thank you.
It was a legitimate question. I didn't know it was so offensive. Jeez
I am surprised because this video has nothing to do with smoke. By the way, I do not smoke. I am sorry if my previous answer sounded rude.
Apologies from me as well. I love your vids so keep them up.
