As a Chinese, the song basically uses all traditional Chinese musical instruments. I have not heard the feeling of electronic synthesis. The composer knows Chinese culture very well. I am grateful to the composer for creating such excellent ancient Chinese music.

As a Chinese I cannot believe this song was made by a Finnish. He really knows the core of Chinese culture. Thank you so much for making such great music and promoting our culture.

WOW, a foreign artist writes a great Chinese style music and it is so good that even many Chinese musicians can not write a music containing such a pure Chinoiserie. As a Chinese , I must say the Chinoiserie is very strong. The dragon and immortals（the title "Xian" means immortals in Chinese ） appears vividly in our minds when we listen to the music.

I was inspired by the epic music and picture and wanted to post something equally epic about ancient China. The eastern dragon was a good symbol to describe Chinese culture and so I likened China to one of its most beloved and respected mythological creatures. The dragon is a symbol of the emperor and worshiped as a god in Chinese culture. Its long snake-like body represents China's unbroken lineage through the centuries. According to myth, it has great power over storms and weather but chooses (mostly) not to abuse it over humans. "Descendants of the Dragon" is a term used to describe Chinese people. I'm Chinese but not from China, but still, I believe we should be proud of our own culture.

Thankfully his teachings survived the centuries till today.

I'm impressed with your knowledge of Chinese philosophers. Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu were credited as fathers of Daoism (another religion in China) and Sun Tzu with the Art of War. Its funny how three belief systems (Confucianism, Daoism and later, Buddhism) can all coexist peacefully in China. I guess you could say Confucius was born at an appropriate time for him to develop his own philosophies amidst the constant conflict. Indeed the core of his teachings is about being a person of virtue, someone others can look up to and emulate. It sounds like you are also well-versed in other religions such as Islam, Buddhism and even Atheism. Many people equate Islam with Terrorism because of ISIS and that is definitely not true. Most Muslims want peace just like us and want nothing to do with ISIS. I'm honored that you feel that way about me and there's really no shame in admitting it. People gain respect for each other because of their words and actions and not because of their origins. Some people I know dislike Chinese people because of ingrained stereotypes and a perceived threat due to the rise of China but Chinese are really just ordinary people and shouldn't be judged solely by the actions of their government.

I sincerely hope that is true. and yet, I know otherwise. Huang tribe descended from western lands, possibly down the mountain-side of Tibetan plateau. Armed with bronze weapons, they brought indigenous tribes, the nine peoples, to their knees, taking a fragment of each tribe's totem--antler of deer, snout of boar, claw of tiger, scale of fish, and so on--and merging them into the dragon we know. Central plains are fertile and never knew peace; each of the four corners had foes, each with with an umbrella term. Raids are but minor issues; some actually seized mandate of heaven, Zhou rose in the west, then Qin, later the five Hunnic tribes, followed by Jin of Jurchen, Yuan of Mongols and Qing of Manchu. Wars and song of them are so abundant, refusal to fight have actually passed on. Ballad of Mulan, on the surface, tells of a brave woman who fights in her father's stead, but the war heroine willfully left lofty station, for she never wanted to be part of it, be the liege Hunnic or Han.

Not quite true, Franklin. Even according to Chinese orthodox thinking, "The empire long united must divide - long divided, must unite." Civil war was a perennial issue in Chinese history even when there wasn't anyone else to fight, since after all the empire was rich and powerful and provided strong incentives to try and gain control of it at all costs. But beyond that, as kailliang mentions there's quite a few "official" dynasties whose origins actually lie in various nations and tribal groupings that, prior to their successful invasion, wouldn't previously have been considered proper Chinese (and some of which, after their invasion, still weren't - in particular the Yuan and Qing). The fact is, steppe nomads aren't stupid. Raiding China for food was great and all, but a big reason to raid China was because it was a great source of luxuries and other trade goods not easy to acquire in the steppes. And even if one raids purely for food, raiding for food is dangerous and difficult - owning land and peasants and taxing them for food is safe and easy. If the opportunity arises and the dynasty is too weak to protect itself, why not move in and become lords and rulers, and so control ALL of the wealth of China, rather than merely nibbling at the edges and fleeing with scraps? But leaving all that aside, even when China was united and stable ambitious Emperors have liked to try and leave their mark on history by expanding its frontiers, and they didn't do so by offering really nice fruit baskets. Wars were regularly fought in Central Asia, Southeast Asia (Vietnam has a long-standing and deep-seated distrust of China for this reason), Korea, and Tibet for reasons of trade, prestige, and outright conquest - it's worth noting that originally, "China" meant the Zhongyuan or Central Plains region, which is a pretty small fraction of what can be considered modern-day China. Long expansion and assimilation was what created the China we know today, and again, it wasn't accomplished with a song and dance number. In short, war. War never changes.

Gabriel Aque maybe they seem rude because mainland chinese usually talk loud.

And when people dont understand such differences it leads to prejudice and stereotypes, same for not just across races, but religion, nationality, ideology, gender, and everything that separates us cause we all have our own identity. Many wont even know that they are perceived as being rude. So we you meet people who are different from you, maybe try to accept differences (different from tolerating them!!):)

Please make more Chinese battle music! Xian and The Forbidden City are my favorite songs of all time! Edit: It's four years later and these two songs are still my favourite songs. They literally inspired the sci-fi/ fantasy story I've been creating since I was 16, and I can go through almost every second of this and Xian and 'see' a music video/ scenes in my head about the aliens/ humans that live on the planet, and the specific characters/ cultures as well (the planet is even named Xian in honor of this song, bc this one and The Forbidden City (not to mention heaps of other Antii Martikainen songs) inspired the world the most). Love your work, and I hope you make more Chinese songs in the future

I love the chimes in the beginning. Sounds amazing. 0:25

Your choice of instrumentation is sublime... I love, love all the bells and percussion, it makes the track deep and rich and then it just explodes into a world of of wonder....An epic score from an epic composer...I am forever in awe ♥

Dragon Riders, I can completely understand why you would think that, but I don’t think that’s what this person meant. Chinese music covers a huge spread of genres, from soothing to spirited to romantic to dramatic. Unfortunately, it seems that when many people, including ones who aren’t Chinese, make Chinese themed music, they stick to one genre that is calm and relaxing, and so the full scope and depth of Chinese music isn’t properly displayed. Far from being disrespectful, I believe what they were trying to express was their appreciation that someone was trying to explore a side of this music that isn’t easily found on KZread. Peaceful Chinese music is amazing, and I love to listen to it, but it seems that often people only post that kind, like it was the only kind of Chinese music to listen to. Am I expressing what I’m trying to say? It was meant as a compliment to your lovely culture, not an insult, I believe. There are many facets of your music to appreciate! 😁

Annette Ford yes I do understand that but In most parts the calming Chinese music is the Westerns version of it and this is to me just another western piece yes this is good for you guys but for me it’s good but it’s not the best that I have heard as well as there are many parts included into the whole calm music. It’s complicated.....

I’m sure it is. There is much more to this discussion than meets the eye. 😄 I understand, and I just wanted to say that I thought the comment was not intended as an insult. Have a great day!

This is called "battle music" but it feels peaceful and pleasant to me. I picture like a dragon or big bird with a person riding it, happily soaring/exploring the land. EDIT: Jk I just got to 2:22 :)

Six years later, I'm still waiting for the day Antti composes more music like this and The Forbidden City. I really love this kind of music, it's perfect for listening to while reading some wuxia/xianxia.

It's a brilliant mix between European orchestra and ancient Chinese music.

Man your music is inspiring and spiritual. Since the day i came across your chanel i don't feel alone anymore, you did create a universe on wich millions can go and find a place of dreams; and in a way i get a sense of freedom i only find in music, most particularly folk music; you take this and much more and create an epic adventure. Unextinguishable thanks, deep gratitude and respect.

The vibes: Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang, and although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
