China has a long history of music. Unfortunately, in most archeology results, people find only titles and lyrics, not rhythms. However, ‘jasmine flower’ is an exception, probably because it’s so popular that there’s no need to record the rhythm. There are now more than 230 versions of ‘jasmine flower’ in present China and the most famous one is still the ‘Jiangsu’ version. And the lyrics are very short. Enjoy!
