Verse & Mist

Hi guys, it's been a while! A new history story on my other channel, The Vermilion Brush:

From slave to the Grand General (卫青)

He was the illegitimate son of a servant. He commanded the largest
armies Han China ever put in the field, held the highest military
office in the empire, and never lost a campaign. He also never
built a faction, and never took revenge on the men who insulted him.

🌿 Opening Collection — Verse & Mist Wallpapers

🌿 A few of you have asked if you could save the images — now you can.

I've gathered the high-res wallpapers from the channel's existing 14 episodes into one collection, made for desktop, tablet, and phone.

Some earlier works could not be preserved; this is the complete existing archive.

From now on, each new episode will get its own set too (at least 4 images), so you can pick up just the ones you love.

Pay what you like, from $3 — any amount unlocks the full past collection. If these images have kept you company, take them home 🌙

Sorry about the ads! 🕊️

I know the mid-roll ads really interrupt the peaceful vibe of the music and poetry. Because the channel is still under 1,000 subscribers, YouTube inserts these automatically, and I currently have zero control over them.

Once we hit 1K subs, I will finally have the power to turn them off for good! If you enjoy the content, please consider subscribing to help us reach that milestone faster. Thank you for your patience and support!

Some of you have been listening to 将军 | the General for months now.

This is the man behind it.

Li Ling — the Han general who fought eight days against an army twenty times his size, and made the one choice history never forgave. His full story is now on my history channel, The Vermilion Brush.

If the music ever made you wonder who he was — this is the answer.

Verse & Mist

Hi everyone — wanted to share a little about the latest video 🎶
This one was inspired by Bai Juyi's poem 《霓裳羽衣歌》—— Song of the Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat — I tried to let the music follow the poem's own rhythm, building toward the same emotional peak, with drumbeats and bright, quick guzheng as it reaches its height.
The idea behind this channel has always been to let music carry the feeling of classical poems and historical stories — shifting in pace and mood as the story moves. So it may feel a little different from ambient music that's purely meant to accompany you quietly.
I'd love to hear from you: do you enjoy this kind of intensity, or does it make it harder to focus? And would it help if I separated the two styles into different series — one more expansive and emotional, one softer and more still?
Thank you so much for being here. Your thoughts genuinely matter to me 🙏

Hi friends!

I've noticed in the comments that many of you are interested in history, culture, and the details behind these stories. So I've opened a small Discord space for anyone who wants to talk about Chinese history, poetry, and the people behind the music.


No perks, no fees — just a quiet place to share thoughts.



If that sounds like your kind of thing:
