I am pure pure pure Chinese learning to use English.

"We will we will grind you" ...I subbed right when I heard that lol! I love her!

Dear Yanghaiying, can you do a video about the significance of jade in the chinese culture and maybe show different quality jades? thank you

Oh my gosh, your funny ad-lib is so adorable! Like when you got excited by the bubbles coming out of the top of that miniature kettle, love it!

your voice is very relaxing

Just wanted to say your video is really soothing and calming. I had a stressful day and it helped me relax and unwind. Thanks so much for the video! :)

What a peaceful voice. It's so meditative and relaxing. It puts me in a trance.

i love how you giggled at the bubbles

"Please, I am not discriminating...this looks like a slender young man." as a slender young man I can confirm.

I feel like I'm getting a spiritual lesson and an art lesson at the same time. This is great.

Instant subscribe. It's quite amazing to watch you, hear the stories and see a whole lot of culture. It's purely amazing, great videos.

We will, we will, watch you! :) The ink sticks have some very beautiful designs on them. It would be quite interesting to see how they are made.

I'm not sure if I've ever commented on this channel, but I watch it all the time.

I've watched several of your videos in one sitting tonight; I'm just enjoying them so much. You seem like such a sweet, cheerful person, and you've definitely cheered me up. Thank you! :D

It's so lovely how you thoroughly enjoy your life and seem to not take anything for granted! This is a fantastic video and very interesting. Thank you for posting!

I love the water pitcher drainer thingies that you showed at the beginning.

You have the best voice & I love listening to you, awesome videos

I used to have somewhat of a nanny like you (I say somewhat because they didn't pay her and barely thanked her for raising me but I digress). She was from China originally and my parents were often dropping me into her apartment next door whenever they had work, fighting etc. She was always quite nice. Had somewhat of broken English. Always watched her practice calligraphy...Found it very relaxing. The grinding of the ink, the form and motions of the hands, the songs she used to hum (none of which I understood) but relaxing none the less. That and a lot of odd folk stories she used to tell me...Most of them being creepy/horror in context. Not that I minded. I guess what I'm getting at it is you bring back a lot of fond memories for me. Just discovered your videos. Relaxing and nostalgic. Brings back some of the few good memories of my childhood. I'm not entirely sure if you're Korean or Chinese (One of the two being my guess). But thank you for the flashbacks. Subscribed.

When you said,"We will, we will grind you." I laughed out loud because it was so unexpected. I was kind of feeling a bit sad and confused about life before watching this video, but that song cleared my mind.

I think your ink grinding videos are wonderful.

Ohhh. I was listening to the audiobook of the classic novel _Musashi_ and characters kept asking one another about whether or not anyone had an ink stone. Thank you for demonstrating how inkstones and ink sticks work. Now I understand.

I don't know how to spell but the type of ink that you called "Qi" (?) seems actually quite good, but it is limited in its purpose. After having seen your demonstration, I would agree with you in that it's not good for black lines. For those who need even black texture with no faltering of shade, other inks are better. However, it seems that if the intent is to work with subtle shades of grey, this might be better. Its nature seems to be more very dark grey as opposed to black. This can be good though. It means one can make lighter shades of grey with less water in the brush, which can help keep the crispness in the stroke. Using a strong black ink for light grey would mean more water, which would change the look of the stroke. On another note, the bluish black might be good for painting a night sky. Be well madam.

Thank you for the best sleep in weeks. Your voice is so soothing and wonderful. Tingles before sleep is amazing

the designs on the inks makes them almost too pretty to use

"We will... we will... GRIND YOU!" LOL! That rocks! I love your spirit Yanghaiying.... I love your videos... I love your advice.... I love your art... I love how you cook and THANK YOU for introducing us to your culture in such an artful way... it's beautiful!! You're the best!! Always my favorite on YT!

i wish that i could be one of her students if she still teaches, shes also has a great personality she just relaxes me and rids me of my headaches thank you yanghaiying

I love watching the ink grinding videos of yours. In fact an ink grinding video was the one that made me start watching your videos

I so appreciate the honesty about each product

Love your videos The 'we will grind you' part make me laugh :) please keep them coming

I've never seen ink grinding and found it really informative also I love how happy you sound.

I am in complete joy when I watch and listen to your videos. I giggle with you when the pots bubble. Your stories are wonderful and yes such a soothing voice you have! How and where do I contact you to make an order. Also thank you so very much for your content. I had so many questions and each video one after the other I have watched. Each video answering another question. So perfect to me I did not need to search further once I find you! 🙂❤️💕❤️🙂 thank you again, I have subscribed to your channel and will continue watching!

I love all of the sounds especially the ink grinding

Wonderful video. Very soothing and relaxing. Thank you so much for the upload and have a great day.

This was very nice and very relaxing! Thank you so much for uploading!

I can't wait to grind my first ink...I just ordered it. I guess it doesn't take much to excite me now day.....your so cute!

words of wisdom at 25:45

I love all these chinese inks... YOU are like the chinese Bob Ross

You have a wonderful voice. It is very soothing to the ear.

You have to be the cutest person on the planet! You're adorable!

oh ！水墨画 非常漂亮 nice！！

Well i think your picking it up wonderfully! Very Good!

"Weeeee will, weeeee will, Grind you~~" Subscribed! :D Made my day.

Oh, it's like one of those theoretical questions you answer, similar to 'what would you do if you won the lottery?' 'If you had to throw a dinner party and you could invite anyone you wanted, from the past or the present, then who would you invite?' So, I would invite you, David Mitchell, Elizabeth I, Jonie Mitchell, Julia Child, Aristotle, Eddie Izzard and many others.... you get the idea.

You know those imaginary dinner parties you throw, where you can invite whoever you want - dead or alive - and the table is surrounded by inspirational figures holding fantastic conversation. Yeah, Haiying's on my list, I think.

you have soo much fun sometimes, way to go for enjoying life.

"we will we will grind you". ........ You're funny. I just discovered your channel. You're wonderful too.

Thank you very much.

Please do more chinese brush painting maybe like Henry Li. There's so many traditional and beautiful motives e.g. Chrysantheme , orchide ...

you remind me of my grandma the nice one at least I'm a sub

Lovely video. Thank you for you beautiful work.

So informative and fun, thank you Haiying. I'm making a shopping list :)

perfect timing, this will help me sleep.

First time to watch Chinese Art Form. Very nice You have a new subscriber. Thank You G

I also charge for my labor.

You are a wonderful teacher.. :)

im not sure if u can do anything about it but when the camera is moving with the grinding it gives me a lot of disorientation and whatnot. i love the video i just wish it was less difficult to watch

I tried but can not find for now. I will look again.

Also, despite my sadness because of my lack of oolong, I did enjoy the video :) now I want to go to China or Japan or SOMEWHERE of oriental culture...actually anywhere but America or Mexico would be fine X3 either way, I found the video both informative and relaxing. Thanks so much for uploading :)

the grinding is the best noise ever

great video. i like all your videos.

holy crap this is cool!

This latino is in love with your voice :)

You are lovely! fun video,thanks for teaching us :)

I think the word you were looking for was soot a black powdery or flaky substance consisting largely of amorphous carbon, produced by the incomplete burning of organic matter.

What if the ink stick comes down to the writings on the stick? Does this influence the color?

you are so lovely! you made me exited about asmr :D

your videos are so helpful.. Thanks :)

I learn something each time I watch this. BTW: the word meaning “not shiny “ is spelled with an “e”...MATTE.

What is that?

Isn't it a great song!

Be strong, deal with it. hhahah

The video was very nice and relaxing But the things you do with some of the brushes, namely halfway through painting that mountain And the poor brush at 33:43 That made me cringe.

you're he absolute best!!!!

How would you know when to stop grinding the ink?

I think this video would have been better if you hadn't applied the image stabilization to it because it was wobbling all around as you were doing things like grinding the ink. otherwise very relaxing as always :)

Is ink stick used mainly for calligraphy?

Another Queen fan! You rock :)

i can hear the difference of the quality in the grinding sound.

best video super.

You're a wonderful woman

at 2:10 you speak French again ;-) "C'est pas juste"

You could do a video doing these sorts of requests maybe. Win/win. You would earn some views and make a lot of people very happy. Just a thought ...

Go to 10:11 and have closed captions ON. Do yourself the favor. :)

pure a a diamond. ginger ale

The second you went for the oolong, I just sadfaced into a corner. I have no oolong in my house :(

YES! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!

I really like you

I saw a video showing how a guy made his ink sticks. Was cool

Why does the camera move like that? What is it attached to?

Question: Does it dry on its own?

Very tripped out!?!

When you get it black enough.

5:40

The water getting poured in

Hmm it's made out of soot? Interesting.

ms. haiying (if i may call you that) this might sound rood but,are you pure asian that learned english?,or are you half asian half english?

you belong on a fortune cookie ;P
