easy on the ears music. Track is on a loop though. It's great for background noise.

Steampunk Divine Beast From Spring And Autumn Period.

Richer in zoomorphic options than the griffin, this teasing bronze beast is actually a musical instrument bracket. Geometric and animalistic patterns are inlaid with turquoise.

Bronze of the Spring and Autumn period. In the collection of Henan Museum (河南博物院).

Triple Date: Hualian, Fengqing and Quanyin.

They attend a Chinese Opera.

XL and MQ are watching enraptured, completely obsessed with the story being told, the music, the performance, all of it!

HC hasn't noticed the performance at all, he's watching XL's face.

FX doesn't really care that much. Also:

FX: *sees some impressive acrobatics* "I could do that"

XL, MQ and HC, in unison: "no you couldn't"

QYZ keeps trying to run off because he's bored. YY likes Opera but he is too focused on keeping QYZ in his seat. He misses most of the performance (XL later buys him a solo ticket, with HC's money obviously, so he can see one on his own). QYZ eventually settles down when YY holds his hand. QYZ, despite his boredom, is happy to be out in public with Shixiong!

Humanity is amazing. I love how diverse people and cultures are.

I was reading a story and when a character in it sang, the listeners in the story all commented on how apparent it was that she'd been trained in Chinese opera. And I was curious as to what the hallmarks are of Chinese opera singers. With European opera singers, you can immediately tell that they're trained when they sing because they'll vibrato the heck out of everything and sing from deep in the diaphragm unless they are trying REALLY, REALLY hard not to. So what makes somebody immediately recognizable as having trained in Chinese opera?

So I did what any self-respecting person does these days and did a search for Chinese opera. I clicked on the first video link and it was a subtitled aria. And folks, I spent the first few minutes wondering who was singing and why they were focusing the video on the dancer instead. And then I watched two more videos of different singers to be sure. And my mind was blown. Because at least in the Peking opera tradition, the women BARELY MOVE THEIR LIPS while singing. They are the ULTIMATE ventriloquists. It's amazing and blows my mind because it is the exact opposite of how European-style singing is taught, where you start out by learning how to exaggerate all of your mouth movements in order to get clear tones and then are slowly walked back into something not quite as cartoonish looking.

(Regarding how to tell if somebody is a classically trained Chinese opera singers, from what I can tell the singing was all focused around their noses, which is a very cool method that sounds very strange to me right now but will probably sound very beautiful once I get used to it. So I'm guessing that the character in the story focused her voice to her nose the way a European opera singer would focus her voice to her diaphragm.)

If anybody knows better how to describe this or what the actual hallmarks of Chinese opera singers are or if I just randomly got lucky by watching three different women sing without moving their lips, please respond!

I've been wondering what sort of songs you think wangxian would play in your trans lwj band au art

I’m honestly a bit conflicted about it, but I’ll try to post some preferences of mine. Just keep in mind I'm sometimes referring to a specific element, and not necessarily the whole song/video/artist as a template for the AU.

Also I have a very clear preference in vocals esp female vocals don't laugh at it XD

The element of a cross between traditional music & rock:

youtube

(first one got overall yllz & hgj vibes imo)

youtube

(this has the Gayageom, a Korean zither, player slashing off the zither's cords mid-performance which I imagine is a very rock thing for hgj to do)

youtube

the angst of this song and its poetic lyrics:

youtube

(I imagine lwj's songwriting would be sth moody and poetic like this one. Also the guitar riff and the bass in this song is beautiful)

if wwx writes songs it'll be sth like these (dirty guitar, dirty lyrics):

youtube

(overall more upbeat songs with full-on sexual innuendos, and no one will ever imagine he's a virgin) (also, unrelated but I love the all-white get up in the third song. HGJ plz only you can rock that)

Sorry this was a lot lol. I have regional preferences towards korean/japanese/english-speaking areas in terms of music so that is where I'm drawing my references from.

Mindy Meng Wang is a Chinese/Australian composer and performer, masterfully trained on the traditional Chinese instrument, the guzheng. Born and classically trained in China, Mindy studied Western Musicology in the UK before migrating to Australia. Excelling in experimental music and improvisation, she is pioneering a new sonic direction for the guzheng. x

So beautiful! I highly recommend listening to her new EP “Kōng Emptiness”

A soft beast reclines

Outside, the rain is falling

Quiet afternoon

#and now a haiku #dangerous communist propaganda #pictures of the ket #it's unspeakably chill right now i can't even express it #like it's pouring fucking rain and bean is just conked out on my floor chair #i am listening to a playlist of traditional chinese instrumental music #the guqin matches so nicely to the sound of the rain #the only way i can think to describe how i feel right now is serene

Name: Guang Tseng (曾光)

Ethnicity: Han Chinese

Species: Vampire

Birthday: 05.12.1666

Physical Age: 33

Height: 171cm

Sexuality: Bisexual

backstory summary

born in taiwan as the middle child of immigrants from fujian, who were former ming dynasty officials fleeing the qing rule

born blind (eyes very clouded they appear almost white from further away), spent most of his childhood inside, mostly with his grandmother and younger sister hsin-yi

loved when his grandma told them stories because it told him about the world, also loved music, especially beiguan

started teaching himself how to play instruments in his teens (erhu & guqin)

was kidnapped & forcibly turned by members of the taiwanese coven when out with his sister because blind vampires make for great soldiers due to the heightened other senses

trained to use echolocation under torture, then used to fight, enjoyed not being treated as fragile anymore but definitely didn't fuck with the fighting thing

conspired with mo & hsin-yi in the 1830s to kill the leaders & gain freedom, fled to south korea afterwards. returned to taiwan in the 20st century

lives in the southern countryside with hsin-yi, hasn't lost his passion for music and is a somewhat successful artist in taiwan (music inspo)

random trivia

him using echolocation unfortunately also means he's clicking his tongue constantly

huge fucking stoner. have you ever seen him without the lingering smell of weed? that's weird.

on top of wearing sunglasses his eyes are closed most of the time, so when he does open them the air feels weird on his eyeballs & he blinks a lot

used to be very strong in combat but hasn't used it since gaining freedom, just been chilling instead so it is mostly dormant

fluent in cantonese and mandarin but prefers to speak hokkien as much as he can, mostly sings in it as well

bit eccentric but has a very genuine personality that makes most people like him

would not choose to gain eyesight even if modern medicine ever made it possible for him

does not kill for blood if he can avoid it

also very invested in paranormal stories and ghost hunting in his free time, does a podcast or youtube series or some bullshit about it with chiharu

website
