at first, i thought she was just lip syncing with someone else singing but when I realized it's her, I was fascinated by how she could keep the elegant demanor without moving her lips
the performer may actually even be a man
@@slay8076 Historically, yes, most Beijing opera performances were performed by men however, this is actually given by a famous female Beijing opera performer named Li Shengsu.
@@nymphaeanouchali2886 please tell me more about "historically it was performed by men"... QxQ
I wanna know more QxQ
He means that similar to Shakespeare’s plays, even women/feminine figures in Chinese opera have been Male opera singers
*traditionally
Came here after Yunjin's Trailer from Genshin. It's kind of sad seeing people making fun of her voice, even though it was an accurate representation of Chinese Opera Singer. I hope Mhy would keep making these type of characters, and people (mostly western players) able to accept and understand the culture better.
Edit: I'm no way saying that you can't dislike her voice, because you can dislike her voice while also respect the culture.
I agree, although at first I was surprised at the singing, after a while however it sounded kinda nice. I think the reason people don’t like it that much because there was no background music?
@@kukitaku1216 Most likely this, without the music accompaniment, it feels really strange. Chinese opera REALLY need the classic Chinese instrument with it for the full experience.
Sadly this is bound to happen but I am so happy MHY took this bold step to represent one of the most beautiful forms of Chinese art and that they, and the Chinese audience, is not phased by the ignorance some outsiders bring into the fandom. We can only educate and discipline so much.
It is completely understandable for someone to express they were taken aback, obviously someone who is entirely foreign to this will feel strange about it at first and it may forever stay that way. *You ARE allowed to dislike something* . The discrimination comes when someone openly offends an entire nation of traditions in full malice with their heart on their sleeves for all the wrong reasons.
I came because I was so mad at everyone laughing and being just straight up racist
Im not going to lie.. i was so shookt with the singing voice earlier since its my first time hearing a chinese opera…but I suddenly came to a realization that maybe thats just how it is and i should respect it
Best of lucks to yalls yun jin pulls tho imma just get her through the free characters ;)
It’s incredible that she’s barely moving her lips and still manages to get so much sound out
Yup, but not lips create a sound...
just sain
The sound actually comes from the throat, not the lips.
@@advisor. yes, but the point was, it’s impressive because normally we are used to move our lips when we do voices.
@@Xelluse do we need linguistic expert here?
@@Dnxl03 Learn to read before you write.
Also what the fk have linguistics do with lips or sound ?
"Linguistics is the scientific study of language" < so pls, learn the meaning of the terms before you use them, pls...
the fact that she isnt moving her lips like at all is SO INCREDIBLE. id like to thank mihoyo and yunjin for introducing me to this really fascinating part of chinese culture
This performance is in my mind for a week 🤣 ever since Yunjin's singing on 2.4 Livestream. I always go back here everyday 🤣
This is a technique that relies on chest cavity pronunciation. Learning this art is often trained from an early age. As the saying goes: perform for one minute on the stage and train for ten years off the stage
Omg same, came here bc of Yunjin!
YES I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE YUNJIN
Chinese opera actress. Went to the occupied territory of Ukraine. She sings where people die. terribly! Communist=nazi=rushizm
As a reminder, please don't mock Yun Jin's singing. This art form has been around a lot longer than you and me. Disliking it is one thing, but making jokes about it would only show your ignorance.
just because its old doesnt mean it doesnt sound hilarious
@@bor445 You gotta respect some tradition oml-
@@bor445 i think dutch is the stupidest, goofiest language i've ever heard but i don't get up the asses of people who speak dutch lmfao
i mean, doing jokes its ok as long it isnt disrespectful
THIS. although i personally am not the most fond of chinese opera, it's surely a nostalgia trip for me lol and a huge part of my culture. i wouldnt want people mocking it
i just can’t comprehend the fact that Chinese opera involves the singer not moving their mouth much/barely opening their mouth when they sing. the notes are breathtaking, and their breath control is admirable - this is amazing and impressive!
I don't even think I saw the singer blink once, it truly amazing how that is even possible
it sounds so pretty and magical
We all are here because of Genshin aren’t we
@@Meryemm.16 Actually Im both here for Genshin and because of that "Chin cheng hanji" meme. Suprisingly that meme got me into Peking Opera and Yun Jin made me geek out over Peking Opera even more hehe. Im definitely pulling for her
@@kyyuqii she prolly has so much mascara what if she blocks that mascara might go in her eye
As a Thai kid who have Chinese grandma, when i was kid like 7 years old. My grandma always take me to watching Chinese opera every day in Yaowrarat (Chinatown in Bangkok) When first time I see it’s so beautiful❤️❤️ Everyone wearing Chinese traditional costumes, dancing , singing in Techow language and Thai. And today I’m 15 year old now. and after watching this it’s make me remember my memory’s during I was little child. 😊😊
Do they still have this kind of show in Yaowrarat? Would love to watch them
Jeez, I miss Thailand.
Edit: im only half thai
As a Chinese who frequently visited Thailand I have to say that Yaowrarat is, or has become, one of the least "Chinese" Chinatowns around the world, or at least it seems so to me. I assume that it was the home or a gathering place for the Thais of Chinese ancestry. They may retain quite a lot of Chinese traditions years ago but now they have completely blended into the Thai culture and as far as I am concerned they are not much more Chinese than the ordinary Thai people-- I feel that the impact of Chinese culture is on every Thai regardless of their ancestry-- or maybe there are just too many Thais with at least some Chinese blood in their ancestry. The true Chinatown in Bangkok is Huai Khwang.
@@Leocorde82 i think it still have but very little
Enjoy the culture and tradition, krub! ✨✨✨✨
The fact that they can control their voice without having to move their mouth that much?! She's reaching those high and deep notes with minimal mouth movement, that level of skill needs to be so high, huge respect to the singer! 💯💯
it’s so pretty man the fact we can have a character with this talented lady as a va is shocking can’t wait to see more from her and yunjin
RIGHT?! LIKE IM SO CONFUSED ON WHY PEOPLE ARE HATING ON HER SINGING I MEAN LOOK AT THIS MASTERPIECE
@@wowomio because people can’t take culture shock smh and it’s ridiculously disrespectful of them
@@wowomio true!! people aren’t forced to like it you are allowed to dislike something. also those who were shocked is very understandable if they’ve only been exposed to european opera. the problem only comes from those who are actually disrespectful and laugh at it or poke fun at the character. props to mihoyo honestly!!
My opinion is
Her singing is amazing
The genshin song they made her sing isnt the best for this.
They shouldve made a whole new song since it's just hutaos song sang in opera way...
@@wowomio I think the main reason people are hating is because Western audiences are far more used to Italian/European opera which has a very different feel to it
Based on the comments I can see that I'm not the only Genshin player who wanted to hear more Chinese opera singing after hearing Yunjin in the trailer :)
Yesss! I’ve never heard it before, it sounds really unique I love the singing too!
Yes! Although, the uniqueness about it is something that not everyone enjoys, but it's alright. Anyway, Chinese Opera actually sounds really good and I enjoy listening to it, so I searched for Traditional Chinese Opera, and boom! Here we are
yeaa! after the trailer i searched more about chinese opera, its good to know more about other cultures :D
It's kinda nice to see that some people in the fandom are taking the step of knowing more about chinese opera singing after Yunjin's appearance. Mihoyo really hit their goal here.
yessss
To all the Genshiners , there is a difference between disliking something and outright making fun/being toxic about it. Nobody is saying you can't dislike the singing but at the very least learn to respect the hard work done by these performers. It's not that hard
In my opinion I love this and Yunjin, I was surprised at first when she began singing but the longer she did the more it grew on me
czcams.com/video/WCQA9jqbUhM/video.html
czcams.com/video/va5TEd-gaiE/video.html
The fact she’s able to sing so well with her mouth barely opening is astounding!
I was so shocked when people were so racist towards Yun Jin's singing, when Chinese opera is so beautiful.
The global genshin community has been extremely sinophobic since the beginning so it's not surprising, but it's still hurtful. I feel like that's also why the employees introduced themselves with English names unlike last time..
Thank you for respecting our culture 🥰
Yeah me too! I liked it from the trailer and I’ve been listening to Chinese operas and I really like them! The culture is also so interesting too!
For god sake, there probably be less than 5% who really racist. The rest is confuse as they never heard before and without background music is making more confusion. It be like at Britney Spear concert and you only heard her singing without any music.
@@lokisg3 your point?
now that Yunjin is out i have an excuse to watch more Chinese opera videos on the internet 🤩
Same, was here for that sound effect
Who is yunjin
@@rue6914 Genshin Impact character
@@rue6914 from game called genshin impact, she’s coming out next version and is based off peking opera
BAHHAAHA EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HERE FOR 💀💀
I'm amazed how she can sing without moving her mouth so much. That takes so much air control.
He is a man ..
@@houssam8159 Li Shengsu is a woman, tf you walking about
@DREAM2.0 I just made you mad ! .. if she is a woman okay Thats good but i have seen other videos behind the scene where men do the same ... I can share with u link behind the scene you silly
the fact that she barely opens her mouth but is still able to do highnotes kpop idols could never /j
After much uproar with Yunjin's Trailer, people need to learn and appreciate how Mihoyo always tries to stay true to the culture each region represent in Genshin. Liyue is heavily inspired by China, and I'm glad they hired a real Chinese opera singer for Yun Jin's song.
True! Yunjin is my first experience with chinese opera and the initial sound was jarring due to inexperience. Because of that though, I knew something was up and i decided to check it out. I’m now amazed by the accuracy and talent with both yunjins VA and chinese opera itself. Amazing
@@shortii5717 yeah I found it odd and different, but I wanted to see the real deal, so I came here, and I am not disappointed :^D
If they add background music in the trailer might help.
speaking about culture of each region, i wish they had better understanding of german culture because mondstadt is a mix of everything european
I hope they do this with other regions too. Like have Venti actually sing German folksongs, someone from inazuma do Japanese folk songs, ect. It would be cool
I remembered hearing this as a child. Didn't know its was fading away, but Yunjin is gonna bring the genre back because everyone who never heard it are gonna search up like you are doing now.
Ah yes, a game character "is gonna revive and bring a dead genre back" XDDDDDDDDDDDD
@@adrya07
Yeah sounds ridiculous, but it's not really the game itself. More likely the power of the internet and memes.
But did you know Etch 'n Sketch almost became discontinued if it wasn't for Toy Story?
Wensleydale Cheese almost declared bankruptcy if it wasn't for the movie A Grand Day Out.
Some Japanese villages were saved by tourism that to a few visual novels and some anime taking place there.
These were some examples, especially before the internet became a thing, so now I wouldn't be surprised a multi-billion (or million I could be off) game could make it happen even if it sounds bizarre.
Unrelated but omg sogo pfp
It's not really surprising, it simply can't compete for attention when there are other entertainments which are much better at exploiting the brain reward system (not a good thing btw). Chinese opera is simply too long, and recquires a minimum of knowledge to understand the fuck is going on, so only old folks, wealthy people who want to show off their cultural superiority, and the few young fans remaining are into it. You see a similar problem with traditional theater in the West or No in Japan.
The fight is just not in their favor, when they're pitted against dopamine rush multiplayer games, gacha, 5 sec meme videos, social media, livestream or straigth out porn. Chinese opera training is also very hard, which limit the pool of talents.
Either you have to reformate society completely, or Chinese opera has to reinvent itself while preserving it's tradition, and creating a sense of community. But there's hope, many troops are using social media and it's met with the interest of the public, all they need is to cultivate the apreciation of the art and educate them. Also they need to increase the attention span of people.
@@PotatoGurlSasha comparing a movie as big as toy story to a single character from a videogame is a bit of a wide comparison
This is why i love China (amazing and beautiful culture,beautiful outfits and make up)
Am so addict to this now it hits different after seeing it a couple of times
In before the wave on oncoming Genshin players and Yun Jin appreciators (though I think it's happened already LMAO)
Chinese opera is one of the many beautiful traditions of art and I cannot get over the fact miHoYo actually added a character who breathes such beauty, I am so grateful they took such a bold step, Genshin as a whole has added so much puzzle pieces always full of detail and I can't wait to see more of Yun Jin.
However, a reminder that you ARE allowed to dislike things and you don't need to add an extra topping of ignorance, it's that simple. Many of the western or outsider audience will have never heard of this art and you are free to feel strange about it, the damage comes from starting to discriminate something you've never heard of. Nothing is stopping you from educating yourselves, if you have time to spread malice then you have more than enough time to stop yourself and LEARN. Be better than this.
I started researching peking opera when yun Jin was leaked because many commenters said that her idle dance animations were very accurate to real chinese opera. It seemed strange to me at first glance, but I kept an open mind. I watched a short behind the scenes documentary and was really impressed by all the effort that went into the smallest details. Thanks to yun Jin I was introduced to this art form and appreciate it now, which is what mihoyo was probably going for when crafting yun jin.
@@elise2399 Absolutely this. *Thank you* for keeping an open mind, now you've found something you can appreciate and enjoy with the rest of us and I'm glad for you! Yun Jin is absolutely beautiful.
I agree! This kind of music won’t be for everyone but that can said about anything. But just cause you don’t like something doesn’t mean you need to mock it or be ignorant to it’s cultural significance because of that.
Estoy de acuerdo. No sabía que existía otra ópera distinta a la que se nos ha acostumbrado ver, ciertamente es extraño por ser la primera vez que la veo pero no está mal. La cultura se debe respetar n_n
I approve
Never heard of Chinese opera till genshin came with it, although it sounded a bit strange at first, after properly listening to it, I like it!!
Samee
Yeah me too! I really enjoy listening to it now!
Yes! I was shocked at first but I watched like 12 vids of Chinese opera now and I'm liking / becoming more familiar the way they sing as I watch many more. Glad Genshin actually included this type of culture irl directly into the game
The bg music definitely helps and gives context to the singing a lot better than just the singing by itself
@@meilinrivera1 omg true
みなさんと同じように、原神をプレイしていて京劇に興味を持ち、この動画にたどり着きました。
中国語は分かりませんが、音の流れ、声の抑揚、とても芸術的です！
中国の古くから伝わる文化を知れてよかったです！😊
I live in Montréal and many many years ago there were Chinese opera excerps being presented, loved so much I bought CDs of Chinese operas. I wish more were presented. Love the costumes and make-up and the voices.
As a montrealer i wish we had more Chinese entertainment in the city ! I'd love to see a Peking Opera performance irl!
I’m just amazed that she can do that while barely moving her face at all. I thought someone off-stage was singing at first.
it is realllyyyy hard to move and like even sing while wearing the clothes as a person who has done some opera but the pieces ive worn are not even close to how heavy and uncomfortable that headpiece and outfit must be!!!
@@Tiny_istiny ive heard the flags are even heavier, gosh my back would die
This lady is not Yunjin’ s VA😂. Her name is Li Shengsu, who is one of the most famous female role players of Peking Opera in China. The VA of Yunjin is Yang yang, who is a much younger but also professional female role player.
The reason why I emphasize the “female role” is that in Peking Opera the gender of the performer and the gender of the role are not necessarily the same 😂
不要指望老外去理解荀派梅派啦😂虽不能和李先生比，但杨先生在荀派也是独当一面了。
People are here because of yun jin
The game spread the traditional to other country that's why we love genshin impact
Just as the way sex and gender roles themselves should be separately perceived :)
A common thing in western opera as well, with "Trouser Roles" like Cherubino (usually young boys or mythic heroes) and "Skirt Roles" like Platee (usually comic characters, witches, and vengeful spirits and goddesses.).
She's not the VA, but I believe she sings the song from Yun Jin's trailer and Shenhe's cutscens
I came from mihoyo and yunjin. I’m Chinese but I never took time to listen to my culture, but after hearing yunjin sing I became interested and now I ended up here.
The fact that this is in my recommended after watching the 2.4 trailer a few days ago shows that we really be interested in other cultural things were not used to and im loving that
Thank you to everyone who is appreciating and respecting our culture!!!
I don't like your government, but your culture is undeniably the best of all in my opinion because of how rich it was. From cuisines to art, everything is just amazing
The happiness and thankfulness I felt when I read this comment. As a Chinese American I am so used to everyone insulting my culture and history and people simply because the government is controversial. I greatly appreciate people who can learn to separate government from culture/people.
唉， 你也是华人啊😯？！ 因为我也是华人
i'm here after hearing yunjin's singing voice
Omg same💀 she's sounds so good😭😭
@@sunflowerfield9660 It’s sad people can’t appreciate it
it sounds so much better with the music behind it imo
@@lovelykitty42 true
@@risingstar9903 they did her dirty tho by not putting any music with it tho. Even Ayaka, Barbara and HuTao sound kinda off because of the lack of music, we’ve just gotten used to them cause they’ve been around for so long
Now I understand why YunJin sounds the way she does. It's really more appreciated after seeing this superb performance
at first when i saw yunjin’s opera, i thiught it was a bit odd but now that i listen to it its so beautiful omfg
I love how people from Genshin came here because of Yunjin.
Notice the opera singer’s shoes. The width of the bottoms of the shoe are very small to imitate a woman’s bound feet which was a beauty standard from early 10th century China. This practice was outlawed in 1912 but it continued in secret in some families. The ideal foot size for a Han women during those day was 3 inches. And bounding would usually begin at age 3. The toes of the feet would be bent into a triangle shape and wrapped tightly with bandages. Then they would bend the toes downwards and bind it again to create a crescent shape at the bottom of the feet. This procedure was usually performed by the women of the family. They would slowly tighten the bandages every other day until the girls feet stopped growing. It was a long and painful process. However, because it such a standard in those days that if the woman’s feet weren’t small they would not be considered beautiful. Not having bound feet might even impact their marriage prospects. Which is why this practice continued for generations.
Opera singing was considered living, moving art. Something that symbolizes beauty and perfection. That is why the shoes of the opera singers were small and narrow at the bottom, but has no heel to best imitate a woman’s “beautifully” bound feet. And since opera singers in China were traditionally male, they did not have their feet bound. However, they did have to go through the painful process of learning how to walk and perform in their performance shoes which were usually the same size as the lotus shoes worn by bound Han women. This meant that the entire time the performers are on stage singing, dancing, and sometimes fighting, they are doing it standing on tippy toes for the entire performance (which usually went on for hours).
It gives you an even deeper appreciation for traditional arts once you have an understanding of some of the history behind it. These artists had to have gone through years and years of rough and hard training. In the old days, kids were sold to opera houses at a very young age by their families. The apprentices usually came from poor families that were unable to continue to raise them, so they would sell the kids to opera houses where they were forced to train in the craft. The kids who had talent would have a chance at inheriting the opera house from their masters. On one hand this was a way to keep these kids alive and fed. But these performers go through so much abuse as children training with not much of a choice. They were the property of the opera houses that they were sold to. However, if a performer became famous he would be able to pay off his debts to the opera house and become an entrepreneur (start opera houses of their own).
It’s sad to see these traditional arts like Chinese Opera singing dying out because not a lot of young people apprentice. But it’s also not a surprise that people wouldn’t willingly go through so much pain to learn these crafts. It’s a real pity though. I hope that these traditional arts would be passed on.
Xx.
cool
Wow
That’s a whole essay and if you got an F- for that The teacher better sleep with their eyes open
Isn't the bounding feet a Manchu tradition rather than Han's? Like the piggy tail?
the singing, the clothing, the dancing, the makeup, the face expressions, the everything.
Can we forget about yunjin for a moment and Talk about het ability to sing like that without moving her mouth
chinese opera is so fascinating. looking forward into the upcoming genshin update . :>
i never even heard of this until the new genshin livestream, and while i’m not a huge fan of opera as a whole, i do find this really fascinating and don’t see anything wrong with it. sucks that people want to be rude and make fun of it. :(
It isn't like they are their heckling the actors on stage XD
and ya it does sound weird and kind of silly to me just like yodeling
It is a niche only some people are going to enjoy it
@@otimo144 it doesn't really matter whether or not 'only some people are going to enjoy it', you're only really referring to the western populus of the genshin players since its a Chinese made game and the majority of players do play on the CN server - its not a niche, it's not made for you. its not made to please YOU. its made to help revitalise a dying artform.
@@iris1584 How is it not Niche if it is a dying art form? I know it isn't made for me and not a general Chinese public either by the looks of it. Besides it was just awkward during the stream that they just belted it out without instruments.
especially because this opera is really beautiful. you’re aloud to dislike something, but not disrespect it
@@virtualmorgue people make fun of Mexico all the time you just have to take the good with the bad. Also people where making fun or ONE facet of the Chinese culture they weren't bashing on ALL of china and like they said above you it is a old dying art form meaning not even the Chinese seem to like it very much.
It's so impressive how much control and projection of her voice there is, especially without hardly opening her mouth.
yun jin really introduced chinese opera to me and im already in love lol
Interesting that there's a sudden traffic due to Genshin Impact.
I've stopped playing the game for quite a while but always appreciate Mihoyo's attempt at exposing Chinese culture to the world.
Since you are here, check out other varieties of Chinese opera.
For a start you could check the original form, Kunqu opera. And then the popular Sichuan opera with the face mask changing.
commenting so more people see this, thanks for writing out some recommendations
Thanks for the recommendations!
thank you for the recommendations, will definitely check it out!
Aside from that, there are countless repertoires within Beijing Opera. I think some of the good ones are Farewell my Concubine, The Unicorn Purse(Suo Lin Nang), and also the Eight Model Operas, however the latter is much more political in content unlike the other more traditional repertoires.
Anyone Here because of Yunjin???
me!!
hel yeah
mee
heck yea
Who is Yunjin
So this is VA Yun Jin’s singing part? Holy!!! She’s so 😻amazing. I just finished archon quest and I cried so hard when Yun Jin started singing.
The fact they do all this while barely moving their mouths blows my mind?? Like that’s so cool
It pretty much boils down on the words used in the song. The words used in this passage can actually be perfectly pronounced without the lips touching.
Please I can't be the only one who is here for Yun Jin reveal
pov: you’re here bc of yunjin
as a chinese, i used to always follow my grandparents to these operas and stuff and my young 5 year old mind remembers peking opera as an 'old people entertainment' and didnt really like it. here i am now 12 years later listening to this on repeat because of genshin and yunjin. and i definitely love this so much now
After watching the opera singers preparation for the performance,I give applause to them to manage maintain their posture despite how heavy the headset and jewelries is,and how they can control their blinking,due to express emotions and have to say how they could control their vocal and breath.Truly amusing and magnificent
Its awesome how i see genshin players starts seeing traditional culture because of yunjin from genshin
So fucking cool. I'm so excited to hear the voice lines Yunjin has with the singing. Thank you genshin for introducing me to this beautiful art form!!
Why am i addicted to hearing this, its such a bop, maybe the western fandom need to hear yunjin singing with music and they will change their mind (i hope)
This type of singing breaks all types of conventional western music theory. I love it. Thank you genshin for introducing this to me.
chinese opera is beautiful, im so looking forward to seeing more of it in the upcoming genshin update with yunjin being released!
Yunjin brought me here! Thanks Mihoyo ♥
It's so surreal how much MHYo went to do the extra effort to depict yunjin's craft as accurately as they could in the game. I'm guessing future contents related to the games lord ub liyuen will more likely follow this. And I'm up all for it
This is so cool also who else came here after seeing Yun Jin?
Thanks for everyone who respect my culture! You guys are so nice, I m really happy that we can play da same game!
y’all she’s yunjin’s singing va 😩😩
This is Li Shengsu not Yang Yang :/ it’s in another video where they interview the opera singer and her name is Shown
I’ve been searching for live Chinese opera in the US for years and to no luck. It boggles my mind the art world have essentially abandoned and overlooked this part of Chinese art and history. This rarity should be treasured so it hurts my heart….
Im so glad that half of my heritage is seeing the spotlight again. Yunjin is a blessing.
God knows I have watched This piece at least twenty times, Li Shengsu's rendition is dreamy
I love her very much
@@user-wr2qy8lg8i lllklllkll
I love her
Im absolutely amazed by how she can sing so loud and so clearly without even opening her mouth that much. Chinese opera is so different from european opera and i regret not listening to it before. It's amazing!
This is my first time i ever heard chinese opera its truly is amazing!
The talent of singing without breaking from her smile.
POV: you cannot get away from the Genshin fans
She literally walking art the voice and presentation is fire
Yes miHoYo did a great job introduce us to this beautiful tradition 😊
1:27 that part was just breathtaking like I’m still chocked… wow
The amount of control she has over her voice is extremely impressive.
THE HIGH NOTES THEY HIT WITHOUT EVEN MOVING THEIR MOUTH THAT MUCH OH MY GOD
dang that control of voice is insane
I really can’t understand how people can actually make fun of such a beautiful
opera...???
the singing is so beautiful & impressive. People think it’s a “fun meme” because they’ve probably never heard it before (singing in a Chinese opera style). But like it or not, mocking or making fun of the tone is not funny. It’s always "I love Chinese culture" until it's authentic and traditional. The amount of racist and xenophobic people making fun of other cultures makes me shiver.. instead enjoy the singing & be respectful towards the lady, something so beautiful needs to be heard more !!!!
I watched this long ago when Yunjin was first hyped , never thought this woman in the video is actually going to be Yunjin opera VA .
Is that confirmed somewhere? I don’t see the name of the performer anywhere on this video
@@Sai1523 i think her name is yang yang
OMG an idv fan who also plays genshin!?!?! I’ve never met another in the wild before!!!
This Opera Singer name is Li Shengsu not Yang Yang, it’s in another video where they interview this singer
It’s not.
I can't believe people make fun of something beautiful, sure it sounds weird but the more you listen to it, it will sound more beautiful, just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can make fun of it. I'm happy mihoyo sticked to the chinese culture and introduced Yunjin
Im one of the Many people who got interested in Chinese opera because of Mihoyo. Its actually nice to listen to it. Im looking forward to Genshins Yun Jin! :3
When I heard she sing from this video. This remind me when I was a kid. All kids love snacks and sweets right? My dad took me to buy them very often. And there was a lovely granny at the grocery store. She listened to this kind of song from a radio.
I knew it. It's not just only that annual event which can watch Peking opera on stage. I love it bc I listen to Peking opera with granny from grocery store. I went to buy some snack at least 2 times a week back then.
Came here after Yu Jin :>
After hearing Yun Jin from Genshin impact singing I decided to look at some videos of Chinese opera and so far I love it
Ya it sounds a lot better with instruments. They probably should have done that for the stream since they have so many music tracks and orchestras in all their other videos
This is yun jins voice actor?! OMG SHES SO PRETTY! AND HER SINGING IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL I EVEN TEARED UP A BIT
This is actually not her va. This is Li Shengsu. Yunjin's opera va is Yangyang ^-^
so happy to see there so many people like this traditional art form cuz Chinese young people don't listen to Chinese Opera very much now，thanx mihoyo>x
It caught me off guard when Yun Jin started singing and yup, i thought it was a strange way of singing but someone pointed out that might be because there was no instruments and hearing this its actually quiet insteresting and nice ^^
米哈游你做得好啊，成功引流来这么多老外了解正宗京剧，对国粹引发兴趣，真的不容易。
最重要的是，云堇这个人物，其内核是一款地道的中式文化大餐，而不是功夫熊猫、迪士尼花木兰那样的美式中餐。
Not to be dramatic but this performance moved me so much that i teared up a bit. Its overwhelming beautiful. 💖 thank you mihoyo for introducing us to this art.
The most incredible about that kind of singing is the singer doesn't move her mouth at all .
reading the comments, it's nice to see that some genshin players are actually trying to learn more about chinese opera after yunjin's trailer
Yun jin’s voice isnt bad at all in fact she is spectacular considering the fact that thats how chinese opera sounds like
Imagine, speaking while opening your mouth
It's not surprising if the sound is aforementioned
Or maybe you do not scrutinize the mouth part ? She speaks in high pitch
I didn’t say anything about how she is singing or something
Who is Yunjin? Doesn't sound like a common name. Is she an opera singer too? If so, then it's wierd that she is so popular (judging by the comments) though I have never seen any of her performances
@@AB-jt4rs There was a sudden invasion in the comments of this video since Mihoyo (the company behind a game named Genshin impact) released a character who sung Chinese opera, aka Yunjin, who is voiced by Yang Yang. Personally I didn't come here from that, but it's interesting to see people uncovering it like this.
I might've went here the same reason as the newer comments did, just curious about Chinese Opera after Yun Jin but I kinda went into a rabbit hole of Chinese opera videos ajdkdkdkd
I love how essential the accomponiment is because the singer's voice blends in with the instrument so perfectly and it's so mesmerizing to watch 🥺 I don't know enough about opera but it's almost emulative of the ensemble which could be intentional, which is difficult enough but she has to sing actual lyrics too, which is even more difficult, and she has to act it out and keep a certain emotion as chinese opera singers have to. It's just really fascinating getting to learn about this and watch/listen to this, never thought I'd be so sorta obsessed with it 🥰🥰 it's just so beautiful
First time I heard Yun Jin singing voice, I was shocked. It was a cultural shock to me cause it was the first time I ever heard Chinese opera voice. Now I'm just trying to learn more about opera. Thank you Mihoyo for introducing new cultures to me
This comment section be like:
1% normal comments and also about how the singer seems like she isn't opening her mouth, which is actually pretty cool
99% Genshin Impact fans.
So true 😂😂
Its a good thing though, exposing our culture in an international spotlight.
guess everyone's here to listen to what chinese opera sounds like because of yun jin
yun jin best girl :))
Yunjin's singing sounded weird to me at first but now that I hear this I've realized that it just sounds odd without the instruments, this is really good!
I hate the fact that this beautiful tradition is being overshadowed by genshin fans thinking chinese opera was made to represent yunjin when it's the other way around
Dude you're misinterpreting it. Yunjin was MADE to represent chinese opera not the other way around 😶
@@killallchadspfpusers9158 but some are making it sound like opera is supposed to be just for yunjin I'm annoyed at those people but idk tho
For all the Yun Jin fans out there you're gonna love 'Female Generals of the Yang Family'. Yun Jin's hair pieces, flags, and fighting style is inspired directly from plays like these

OHH THANKS
sounds very cool, thank you for sharing! i hope more people see this
edit: i'm back from watching the timestamp, god that's so cool. the way the two people with spears manage to perfectly freeze still blows my mind.

Thank you. Only taking a surface look at related media. Love seeing where her design actually comes from since it stood out to me.
@@bosselotiscanon Absolutely. It's one of the most iconic things peking opera performers do and Yunjin actually does it too! At the end of her idle with the spear she does the sharp pose thing
Came here to educate myself after hearing Yun Jin sing. This is so beautiful.
I thought it was weird at first but the more i listen to Chinese opera songs (like this for example) i began to notice the grace of her singing... I think it's very amazing.
yes, you are here for yunjin, right?
I'm glad Yun Jin made me discover this. It's incredible ❤
Thanks Genshin for getting me into Chinese Opera
I will always come back to this video purely because the drunken concubine sounds incredible
This was in my recommendations thanks to Yunjin and literally every Genshin player searching for it. As a Caribbean musician myself, this is very intriguing and the technique is amazing!!!
