    Tang Dynasty Palace Garment Keeper | Sleep Story

    Tonight, we step quietly into the inner palace garment courtyard in Chang'an, on a clear morning in the fifth lunar month in the height of summer , nearly 1,300 years ago, in the Tang Dynasty. In this gentle sleep story, a senior garment keeper works inside a Tang palace courtyard where summer silk is lifted from cedar chests into warm light. She checks tally slips and palace seal tags, arranges pale robes on bamboo poles, and lets mugwort and cedar scent the storage rooms. The afternoon rests softly over folded fabric as everything returns to its place. Settle in, relax, and drift gently into sleep. ๐Ÿ˜ด Chapters 00:00 Welcome 01:46 Sleep story begins 28:29 Goodnight ๐Ÿ’ค Prefer listening without YouTube ads?

    Rainy Night Lantern Walk in Chang'an | Ancient China Sleep Story

    Tonight, we step quietly into Xuanyang Ward in Chang'an, nearly 1,300 years ago, at the height of the Tang Dynasty. In this gentle sleep story, a lantern attendant begins his quiet round beneath the rain. Wearing a woven bamboo rain hat and straw rain cape, he carries lamp oil, a small wick-trimming tool, an ember tube, and a long bamboo pole with an iron hook. Through wet lanes, covered eaves, pale ward walls, and small amber circles of light, he tends each lantern until the night grows deep. Around midnight, he rests in the gatehouse with a warm cup of tea before walking the lanes again, listening to rainwater in the drains and distant watch clappers in the mist. Settle in, relax, and drift gently into sleep. Chapters 00:00 Welcome 01:46 Sleep story begins 24:17 Goodnight ๐Ÿ’ค Prefer listening without YouTube ads?

    A Winter Night with an Imperial Astronomer | Ancient China Sleep Story

    Tonight we step quietly onto the observation platform of the Imperial Astronomical Office in Tang Dynasty Chang'an, nearly 1,300 years ago, on a clear winter night above the sleeping capital. In this gentle sleep story, a senior observer stands beside the bronze armillary sphere, the instrument whose interlocking rings help measure the paths of the heavens. Beneath the stone platform, the water clock keeps official time with a steady drip, while above the city the winter stars return to their familiar places. Through the coldest hours before dawn, he warms his hands over a small brazier, records the Joining Three stars on bamboo slips, and watches the sky slowly withdraw into morning. ๐Ÿ˜ด Chapters 00:00 Welcome 01:45 Sleep story begins 22:30 Goodnight ๐Ÿ’ค Prefer listening without YouTube ads?

    Fall Asleep 2,100 Years Ago | A Qixi Night in Ancient China

    ๐ŸฎTonight, we step quietly back more than 2,100 years, into the Western Han dynasty, when Chang'an was the capital of the Han empire. It is the seventh evening of the seventh month of the lunar calendar โ€” the night that would become widely known as Qixi Festival or sometimes called Chinese Valentineโ€™s Day today. The night has begun to settle softly over the palace grounds. A young palace attendant makes her way towards Kaijin Tower, a small bundle of colored thread held close against her. For the first time since entering the palace, she joins the seventh-night seven month needle practice with the women of the palace weaving room, where fine needles, woven mats, and a low bronze oil lamp wait in Kaijin Tower Upper room. Above the sleeping roofs, the Weaver Star and the Milky Way, known as the River of Heaven, remain visible while one pale yellow thread passes gently through all seven needle eyes. Settle in, relax, and drift gently into sleep. Chapters 00:00 Welcome 01:45 Sleep story begins 29:48 Goodnight ๐Ÿ’ค Prefer listening without YouTube ads?

    Summer Rain in a Chang'an Garden | Tang Dynasty Sleep Story

    Tonight we step quietly into a peaceful moment from the past in ancient China, nearly 1,300 years ago, at the height of the Tang Dynasty. In this gentle sleep story, a young woman rests inside an aristocratic household in Tang Dynasty Chang'an while warm summer rain softens the ward lanes. She sits in a private garden pavilion with a paper scroll of Wang Wei, a celadon tea bowl, boiled cake tea, and two precious lychees. Lotus leaves tremble beyond the open lattice, and the afternoon goes nowhere at all. Settle in, relax, and drift gently into sleep.

Three newly successful scholars (jinshi ) walk toward the Great Ci'en Temple to admire its spring peonies.

    Peonies at Dawn in Daming Palace Garden | Sleep Story Tang Dynasty

    Tonight we return to Daming Palace in Chang'an, the imperial palace at the height of the Tang Dynasty, nearly 1,300 years ago. In this gentle sleep story, a senior imperial gardener enters the Daming Palace garden before sunrise, where spring peonies wait beneath pale morning light.

    Painting Plum Blossoms on Silk After Snow | Tang Dynasty Sleep Story

    Tonight we visit the Zhongnan Mountains - the forested range that rises just south of Chang'an, nearly 1,300 years ago, at the height of the Tang Dynasty. In this gentle sleep story, a retired silk painter sits at the open window of her ridge-side studio one winter afternoon and finds that the old plum tree at the slope's edge has opened its first red blossoms after days of snow - she grinds cinnabar pigment, warms her brush beside the brazier, and begins to paint. As the afternoon light fades and snow begins to fall again outside the window, her sister brings tea without a word and lights the paper lantern beneath the long eave. Settle in, relax, and drift gently into sleep. ๐Ÿ˜ด Chapters 00:00 Welcome 01:45 Sleep story begins 29:04 Goodnight ๐Ÿ’ค Prefer listening without YouTube ads?
