If 鳳凰展翅 is translated into English, it is called 'Phoenix Displaying Its Wings.' The introduction is played by pipa (琵琶). Then Sheng (笙) plays a cadenza passage to depict the phoenix's singing The phoenix 's graceful postures and elegant movements are depicted with superb skill of the solo instrument . This is an outstanding Chinese traditional piece , anyway.
This is a very old instrument that was very important in ancient Chinese orchestras. It is unusual to see a woman playing it. If you are interested in Chinese music, look up Twelve Girls Band.. They are all beautiful and play a combination of modern music and ancient music. There is great pride taken with those who play these instruments well. But in ancient China, musicians were considered to be part of the servant class. As a musician myself, I have traveled to China. Their musicians are virtuosos who are conservatory graduates and continue the tradition of Chinese music while also playing modern instruments. They are amazing.
This is absolutely beautiful. I cannot imagine the amount of practice that went behind this performance. The melody is so lively and full of depth. I can feel it in my soul! Fantastic!
Just stumbled on this video come from a video with the Chinese flute in it. What a wonderful and surprising instrument this Sheng is. We'd call it a mouth-organ, this would than be a chinese mouth organ.
From Wikipedia: The sheng (also spelt as cheng in Encyclopædia Britannica ) is a Chinese mouth-blown free reed instrument consisting of vertical pipes. It is a polyphonic instrument and enjoys an increasing popularity as a solo instrument. It is one of the oldest Chinese instruments, with images depicting its kind dating back to 1100 BCE, and there are actual instruments from the Han era that have been preserved today. Traditionally, the sheng has been used as an accompaniment instrument for solo suona or dizi performances. It is one of the main instruments in kunqu and some other forms of Chinese opera. Traditional small ensembles also make use of the sheng, such as the wind and percussion ensembles in northern China. In the modern large Chinese orchestra, it is used for both melody and accompaniment. The sheng has been used in the works of a few non-Chinese composers, including Unsuk Chin, Lou Harrison, Tim Risher, Daníel Bjarnason, Guus Janssen and Christopher Adler. Some believe that Johann Wilde and Pere Amiot traveled to China and brought the first shengs to Europe in 1740 and 1777 respectively, although there is evidence that free reed musical instruments similar to shengs were known in Europe a century earlier.
Not only she is a great performer she is also really pretty !!! =^_^= I wanted to make a joke how good she is at blowing... but than I thought this type of joke would be not equal to the quality of this performance !
that is one crazy looking instrument. very interesting to look at, like honestly first thing that popped into my head was, " it looks like a crazy ass bong or something".
I wanna get me a sheng and learn to play it! I wanna do the bunny hop with this girl and our shengs...together. Dare she be so cute, playful and banter about while playing this piece? I'm too old to get a crush, but it's happened now: Thanks Sheng! ;-)

好美...不只演奏的好...

Never knew an instrument like this existed. It's so alien yet very cool.
Ele deu origem a criação do acordeom.
It's what the harmonica developed based on after being introduced to europe in the early 1800s and why it was at one point called a mouth organ.
yeah that makes SO MUCH sense now that you mention it @@kishascape !!
thanks
@@santossantos5054 I've heard that that's completely false.
Her look is so next level!
Yea but she got like 289 exp from this and has leveled up twice since then. You should see her now.

how can I see this sheng instrument live?
God damn.. china always got the best instruments
Milo Yio agreed
I know, right. We just get the boring things! Lol
If your country have 5000 years history, then you can get the best instruments too.
BrownBricks they didn't invest time into that certain aspect, come on, dope ass pottery is *tight*
@@jobajo7418 Most places in the world have 5000+ years of history, not just China.
Amazing, simply amazing. I praise you; I have yet to explore the full potential of my bong
Christian P LOL!! mine doesn’t do this..
She is so jaw droppingly beautiful as well as talented.
One of my favorite traditional Chinese songs.

I sheng you my thanks for making my day
A very talented woman playing a phenomenal ancient Chinese instrument called "sheng".
Sheng and khene are the two harmonica ancestor. Cause you blow and you draw in ! Like an harmonica !!!
+Chris DEREMAUX 笙吹吸同簧，口琴吹吸不同簧
Sheng blow in and out use one reed
but Harmonica use two different reed
WOW!
those pipa's in unison
superb
It plays out a very light kind of music.
Magnifique merci pour le partage 👍
I am awestruck by the beauty of this music. I live in China, and I'm definitely going to look into learning a traditional Chinese instrument.
笙在中國北方作為和嗩吶搭配的樂器在民間很普遍，同樣還有鈸，銅鑼等，都是佛教和喇嘛教的金石樂器。而在儒教更盛的南方並不常見，以琵琶，楊琴等為主流。
笙在北方民间流行，官方不多见。
Parabéns.

Suprised there weren't more rock bands during the 70's in China.
Beautiful! 谢谢
Not only she is a great performer she is also really pretty !!! =^_^=
I wanted to make a joke how good she is at blowing... but than I thought this type of joke would be not equal to the quality of this performance !

Only here because of Peter Gilroy.
笙一般只出现在合奏中，单独演奏笙这种乐器头一次见。
Sounds great! Thanks.
What the fuck?? That sounded incredible!
AWSOMEPOSSUM16 china has always beat the US in music
Will Pack Dumbass, i'm not talking money wise, i'm talking how it sounds, the US now a days is fucking ghetto shit, no good music anymore
Will Pack I don’t think he’s talking economically.

笙藝精湛。
that is one crazy looking instrument. very interesting to look at, like honestly first thing that popped into my head was, " it looks like a crazy ass bong or something".
非常好
I never have seen an instrument like that!
Yang Sin-yu is a young sheng virtuoso from Taiwan and former Assistant Sheng Principal of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra! :)
Amazing music instrument

天泉有人繼承了!

live jam, finna drop dis track on livemixtapes ft. DJ HOLIDAY.
好听
amazing!
a polyphonic wind instrument controlled by the mouth as well.. !
I play the chromatic harmonica, the young child of Sheng 😁
ahh! I see! still takes tons of skill i bet! that's so cool you can play it.
I wanna get me a sheng and learn to play it! I wanna do the bunny hop with this girl and our shengs...together. Dare she be so cute, playful and banter about while playing this piece? I'm too old to get a crush, but it's happened now: Thanks Sheng! ;-)
omg thats freakin amazing
Breathtaking! (No pun intended!)
Great!!!
what a rich culture
Reminds me a lot of country/bluegrass harmonica. Which is fitting, since the sheng is the progenitor of free reed instruments.
I want to hear what Darude-Sandstorm sounds like on the Sheng XD
Asshole do I. Lol. That would be epic.
She's grabbing that Sheng with two hands and blowing it like crazy
its biutiful
