Yeah, I'm watching chinese opera videos bc of Yunjin. It's quite fascinating and my first time to listen to this. I love how I learned different culture based on a game that I play ^^

As much as there are people here because of yun jin,, i think it's a good thing because mihoyo made players wish to see more of what she was inspired by, and it brings people to videos like this so they can learn more and appreciate the art. This is actually so beautiful

[@mothxii5598]

[@marmot1434]

Men Del how does the effect happen

[@men_del12]

@@marmot1434 Mostly cause the sound of the singer, like: AAAaaaaAAAA.....aaaaAaA (unlike western classical song or modern pop music) And the music is sounds like: Tengetenga TAng teng Tang Teng (uncommon either cause it has unusual tempo or the rhythme doesn't sound so rhyme its harmony, since generaly we see singing as melody while the music as chord) I dunno, I get used to after watching alot of Kun Qu Opera and some Peking Opera so no buggy actually from the start (this was only the 1st video that made me understand why some people hate it so musch so that's why)

[@marmot1434]

Ok thx

[@tomdeverly3102]

The comments are filled with things about Yunjin! I cant believe the dying art of Peking operas is beginning to blow up because of a game! Thank you so much Genshine for dedicating one of your characters to a culture! Amazing!

[@RicAbapo]

Reading comments here that they’re only here because of MAPEH is funny. 😂 BUT it is NOT funny if your MAPEH teacher expects the students to SING this and execute the actions. That is very ignorant of your teacher to require you to do that after what, one listening? or two or three? The artist here trained for years to be able to do that. We might find it funny or trivial (because we’re not exposed to this) but it takes serious training and discipline to be able to execute this properly. If the goal is not to perform this properly then what is the point? If your MAPEH teacher is not training you to be able to perform this then how do they expect the students to study this? Just by watching this video? What a joke! That’s just disrespect to the art and making foolishness out of the students and a total waste of time! It only worsens the perception of students why most think MAPEH is a joke when in fact it is not and it shouldn’t be. I’m pretty sure MAPEH teachers who require their students to do this are NOT music graduates. And if they were, MORE shame on them for being ignorant.
