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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

chinese opera is so fascinating. looking forward into the upcoming genshin update . :>

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

I love how people from Genshin came here because of Yunjin.

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!!

Im so glad that half of my heritage is seeing the spotlight again. Yunjin is a blessing.

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

chinese opera is beautiful, im so looking forward to seeing more of it in the upcoming genshin update with yunjin being released!

Anyone Here because of Yunjin???

Who is Yunjin

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

Can we forget about yunjin for a moment and Talk about het ability to sing like that without moving her mouth

Please I can't be the only one who is here for Yun Jin reveal

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!

I'm a fan of Chinese culture ever since, hearing people talking about the origin of YunJin is making my heart melt and also thank you to MiHoyo ( Genshin Impact ) for creating thr character of Yunjin.I'll be sure to get her

This Opera Singer name is Li Shengsu not Yang Yang, it’s in another video where they interview this singer

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

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 HIGH NOTES THEY HIT WITHOUT EVEN MOVING THEIR MOUTH THAT MUCH OH MY GOD

The amount of control she has over her voice is extremely impressive.

i was recommended this after seeing YunJin for genshin impact - i am astounded by just the range and fluid singing without the mouth barely even opening. I am glad i watched this, the lyrics are also beautiful.

This type of singing breaks all types of conventional western music theory. I love it. Thank you genshin for introducing this to me.

She literally walking art the voice and presentation is fire

Its awesome how i see genshin players starts seeing traditional culture because of yunjin from genshin

The talent of singing without breaking from her smile.

after seeing those comments which came from fellow genshin players , it made me very happy as a chinese and a person who enjoys opera !! good luck pulling for shenhe , yunjin , xiao , ganyu and zhongli ! and happy new year everyone

Thanks for everyone who respect my culture! You guys are so nice, I m really happy that we can play da same game!

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

Yun Jin's singing is an accurate representation of Chinese opera, it's sad that people are making fun of her singing. Yun Jin's singing felt a bit rushed in the trailer, but it was still good, i really do hope we can hear an official version where it has the bg music and instruments. Also you can dislike it if you want, but at the very least respect the culture that it is supposed to reflect.

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 ^-^

pov: you’re here bc of yunjin

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 ^^

The most incredible about that kind of singing is the singer doesn't move her mouth at all .

I'm impressed on how she sings so beautifully with barely moving her lips

don't be shocked if when someone who first hears yunjin's singing is having confused and negative emotions, I myself was really confused in quite a bad way, not talking about chinese culture in total, but the singing, found out now that it actually sounds amazing and all the work put into it is really impressive, now i cant stop listening to it.

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

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!

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.

Yun jin’s voice isnt bad at all in fact she is spectacular considering the fact that thats how chinese opera sounds like

@@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.

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。

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….

yun jin really introduced chinese opera to me and im already in love lol

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 kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGd2u7SuYbPUcrQ.html Go to 1:18:39 for the spear part

This is so cool also who else came here after seeing Yun Jin?

I love how in these operas there is always a string instrument in sync with the singing to help the performer’s voice carry better.

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.

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.

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

Chills. Literal chills man. Came here by yt recommendation after listening to Yunjin's singing from Genshin and I'm so happy MHYO brought an amazing character with an amazing culture as Chinese Opera. It's so beautiful and it frustrates me how people made fun of Yunjin's singing during the livestream because its different from western, It's Chinese opera. I hope people get to see more and hear the beauty within. It really amazes me

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

I'm genuinely interested in the Chinese opera now because of YunJin and this video does not disappoint!!! This is so beautiful!!

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

China🇨🇳 US🇺🇸 Best Friend👬 Love From India 🇮🇳😍☺️🤗

I came here because I teared up when I finished the cutscenes of where Yun Jin performed in Genshin Impact. Her amazing voice and the way it tells about the story of a young lady who finally find her place in the mortal world. I truly appreciated each words that was sang. Thank you so much for singing such a masterpiece that pierce my heart to the point I started to get interested to Chinese Opera. 💖

The singing alone but the background music are simply wonderful! I am very excited to see this with Yunjin once here release!!
