Fun Fact: The character here is Bao Zheng. A famous official from Chinese history who gained fame for his willingness to defend peasants and commoners against the corruption and injustice. He was involved in many interesting and quirky cases and he’s honored today as a cultural symbol of justice in China. (Basically, he’s Chinese *PHOENIX WRIGHT* !!!!)
In my country, we are no stranger to this character, he was pretty popular especially during the 90s and 2000s. I did not, however, know that the ching cheng hanji song actually originated from this play. Memes really have a mysterious way of introducing (young) people to old time classics like this.
I like this. And not ironically, either. The musical beat, the delivery of the words, the movement. It's so beautiful in its own unique way. I need to watch the whole thing now or read a translation of the opera. This is by far the best thing I've found in this the year of our lord 2023
Romanian band creating a song that becomes a meme in English speaking internet leading me to find out about a Chinese opera and historical figure that fought for peasantry. 10/10 would experience again
@@maogu1999 Some Romanian band sampled a chinese orchestra lyric appearing in this video for a hook. The song became shared in some memes and thats how I discovered this video
I really find it interesting how it's possible to sing in a language that relies so heavily on intonations to distinguish word meaning. Very impressive.
A lot of old folk songs in chinese like this one use the tones as a basis for writing music actually, but nowadays tones are ignored for singing usually
0:58 Call me crazy, but I think that part would be awesome with another background music, something in the line of a Hip-Hop beat featuring a Pop Rock song in English performed by an all-female Romanian band.
You're not crazy, because right this place be in this english track in the beginning (start from 0:05) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uMEU2Jpj0Y4.html If You Feel My Love (Chaow Mix) · Blaxy Girls
English translation Prince consort, don't play those word tricks We have evidence on the court And I've read Xianglian's lawsuit paper Your Highness! Prince consort, please come closer and read this It is written: "Qin Xianglian, 32-years-old, is suing the prince consort For him deceiving the crown, lying to the emperor, Breaking a marriage vow to become the royal son-in-law This conscienceless man attempted to murder his original wife and children, Forced Han Qi to suicide at Buddha's temple" This indictment is now received officially by my court So it's meaningless for you to close your mouth so tightly
A story of murder betrayal and corruption, though I don't speak in Mandarin and Chinese dialect I can tell based on the tone and expression and movement of the body that it's a story of murder betrayal and corruption
Fun fact: There is a reason why Bao Zheng ( the guy on the vid ) can scare the shit out of every criminals back in the past ( no matter how high their authority and status are ) is because Bao Zheng owned 3 guillotines ( granted by the King himself ). The three guillotines are: + The Dog-headed guillotine : Using only to behead common criminals such as peasant, landlord,... + The Tiger- headed guillotine : Using to behead only local officials + The Dragon- headed guillotine : Using to behead only bureaucrats which work inside the palace and have a close relationship with the King ( The three guillotines can be used to represent the presence of the Majesty which mean if you are standing trial before Bao Zheng and his guillotines, you are basically facing the King himself ) Beside of the guillotines, Bao Zheng even owned an unbeatable reinforcement and an intelligent student on his side. Legend has it, even the King himself gets punished by Bao Zheng because of his sin of filial piety against the King's biological mother, his punishment was he must let Bao Zheng's henchmen use a wooden pole to hit on his precious golden King's rope ( that basically the most embarrassing punishment due to the King's standard ) So, in conclusion, no matter who you are, no matter how close you are to the King, no matter how hard you try to hide your crime, you gonna get beaten, imprisoned or beheaded if you are facing Bao Zheng himself

Deceiving His Majesty, misleading the emperor, this man broke a marriage vow to become his son-in-law; by attempting to murder his wife and extinguish his heirs, he abandoned his conscience; He drove Han Qi to his death within a shrine." Have this accusation posted on every public building."

Im not a Chinese but i grew up watching alot of Chinese shows and as a citizen in a country of different race, culture and religion. Personally i find culture and tradition to be an interesting thing that sets differences between different group of ethnics etc. Furthermore, they’re mesmerizing and culturally rich and this gem shall be, preserved, embrace and appreciated!
Half full context and oversimplified: this is an opera based one of the many legend of Bao Zheng, a sheriff-equivalent officer in year 1000CE, now Chinese see him as a role model for justice and Taoist see him as a deity and believe he was born from a star god, and now he become one of the lord in hell. In this part of the opera (considered as the climax of the show), Bao is talking to Chen Shimei, emperor's son-in-law, and reading the final verdict, as the evidence and witnesses of his crime are here while Chen never admit himself. So Chen is going to beheaded. Spoiler: Chen had lied to the emperor that he is still single, despite he already has a wife and a son in their hometown. He married a princess and become wealthy and powerful, while abandon his wife Qin Xianglian and his children. Qin and her son came to Chen so that she can be accepted by his husband. But Chen abandoned him, and to prevent his scandal being known to the emperor, he ordered an assassin to kill them. Assassin heard the sad story behind Qin, so the assassin killed himself instead. Qin went to the courtroom of Bao to file a complain, so Chen murdered them by himself.
@@septanos the lyrics is a judge who tell a man because that man is gonna be executed for killing his wife and son because the wife caught him on a affair with a beautiful princess
@@walterfritzzz Nah the lyric is I'm gonna bang Paul Shing jeng hanji Kitchen in the dungeon I swear I'm gonna bang Paul +3000000 social credit!!1!1 👌🗿
I love this, as I understand it, he's a judge presiding over a case involving a princess and her lover. Her lover murdered or tried to murder his family so he could keep fucking the princess but was caught. It was expected the judge would look the other way because the princess might retaliate, but instead he lays it right out and calls the man guilty as hell, and that real fast part when he's just going to town is him laying out the crime in damning detail. Pretty cool
more accurately here Judge Bao is announcing the crimes of the price consort where the price consort tried to murder his wife and daughter after he left his home to give a test which he aced and eventually ended up in king's court where he married (iirc) the princess after lying about his family so he could have power in the royal court so now his wife (who he tried to assassinate) asked Judge Bao to deliver justice which he did by announcing the crimes of the prince consort and essentially sentenced him to execution. The whole drama is pretty interesting where the princess and her mother try to prevent the execution using a lot of threats and whatnot and give the woman (the price consort's wife) money to go back but in the end after a lot Judge Bao decides to deliver justice by quitting his position and executing the prince consort
This is a story of bao zheng. The legendary judge in song dynasty. Bao consistently demonstrated extreme honesty and uprightness, with actions such as sentencing his own uncle, impeaching an uncle of Emperor Renzong's favourite concubine and punishing powerful families. people usually call him justice bao due to his ability to help peasants overcome corruption.
fun fact: In the TV series, Bao was about to spared the husband's head because he didn't want his children grow up without their father, but the princess ordered them to change their family name because she was bearing his offspring and didn't want the former kids to share the same family name, this was absurd so much that Bao Zheng decided to continue the execution. In the other versions, the husband had been spared, but when he walked out of the court while threatening his former wife and Bao Zheng, lightning struck him from above and burnt him to cinder, which represented the old phrase: When you did something so guilty but couldn't be judged by the mortals, the Heaven will kill you no matter what.
In the one i saw bao was gonna spare the prince consort because the empress dowager said she would kill herself if he got executed. So bao gave a bunch of money to his ex-wife, who then said that the stories of bao being an iron faced force of justice was false and that he was another greedy minister after all. Hearing this bao takes of his minister cap and says ‘i dont care if i have to lose my job, justice will be served today, even if i must go against the imperial family’ and executed the prince
Something about his voice and the rythum he sings it in is so oddly appealing, it makes you want a full fledged song of this guy singing and extended version
Lore is that the princess fell in love with this dude and turns out he’s married, in order to keep on bone ing the princess he attempted to kill his wife and kids, this judge dude(character in the video) decided to execute this guy without fearing the possible retaliation from the princess(or the imperial court)
if you learn enough chinese from this video you will absorb the study spirit of the asian confucian training and do twice as well on your test :) good luck
But this song is telling a story back in the ming dynasty lmao. China wasn't even formed yet, taiwanese and other Chinese descendants like Singaporeans, would be able to relate to this song. If you listened to mao Zedong song, this comment would be right.
you are literally making that up. Not only is this an opera, you don't dance to operas, but also, who the fuck dances to metronomes. either way it's not a metronome that makes no sense
I just realised that we all just decided to watch a video with strange characters with no direct translation, and a rather weird thumbnail, but we knew it was this meme...somehow...
As a meme, it is funny. But understanding the context of what the guy was actually was saying, it is literally the exact opposite of this which makes this meme even funnier.
Let's face it. International audience won't even be aware of this song if not for the memes. And the memes make people crave for this song. I see that as a win-win
Bruh, if not for Ching Cheng Hanji, I wouldn't even know about this song. People think making fun of certain culture is "racist, bigot, xenophobic" or some buzzwords on Twitter, but maybe, just maybe, it can have an opposite effect where jokes based on a particular culture can bring more awareness to them? Sure, mocking a culture by using it as a butt of a joke is terrible and not in any way funny, but there are plenty of good jokes based on culture that can get people to learn more about them. Gatekeeping cultures from being used for joke is just gonna make people distant away from them even more than before, imo.
I like you China. I love your food. You have a nice singing man and I like is silly outfit. My grandkids think its really neat! Excited to see more on a visit later this year!
It begins with a meme where a 40s cartoon character is depicted in a stereotypical Chinese outfit with a very Chinese song in the background (EDIT: it is actually a Romanian song remixed by a Chinese/Asian DJ, who added the Chen Shimei part)... ...it ends with you discovering a brand new cultural world that you've never heard about, but now you are eager to enjoy and know much ore about it.
