List of Sounds:
- birdsong, ebullient and irrepressible, heralding spring with melodies of courtship: each bird a troubadour, each love-song a proclamation of the self-renewing, self-renewed, indomitable burgeoning of life
- breeze made mild and caressing by the softening season, beguiling enough to entice petals from the blooming branches and to begin thus the dance of all transient things (to float, to float, to float, and then to fall)
- sometimes, distantly, the jingling & chiming of wind-bells, hung from a neighbor's farthest eaves
- after a long overwintering, the livestock residents of the village greeting now the sun, the spring, and each other: oxen lowing, chickens clucking, roosters crowing, sheep and new lambs calling out to each other in contented reassurance of their nearness
- the small bustle of passing footsteps and murmurs typical of villages, where friends are recognized before they are seen, not just by speech but by the familiar cadence of their stride
- occasionally, drifting from the windows of a nearby house, the just-audible strains of an erhu and voice joining the birds in song
- indoors, the rustling, stroking, and smoothing of bed-silks (first rumpled by the tossing and stretching of awakening, then guided by the firm press of a palm back into place); the tying-back and arranging of bed-curtains
- the leisurely combing of hair, relishing the feeling of one's own cascading tresses before each strand is gathered back and up and the day, in earnest, begins
- the whispered clinking and clattering of a teapot and a single cup, placed there as a love-token just before the first stirring rays of sun set the curtains aglow, the morning beginning then with warmth and radiance and the fresh, vital scent of tea

Question: What is an ambience video?
Answer: Pleasant, soothing background images & sound for relaxation, study, play, or work; gently occupies an anxious or unfocused mind without causing unwanted distraction; creates a comfortable, inviting atmosphere; personalizes sparse, colorless, or impersonal environments; enlivens spaces where we live or work alone; fills silence with more subtlety, ease, and warmth than music or TV; offers softly dynamic "rainbow noise" instead of monotonous white noise; enhances interior design & personal style by turning screens/screensavers into live photographic displays.
