Gentle Afternoon Stroll in the Snow | Ancient China Sleep Story

🏮Tonight, we step quietly back into a mountain villa on a south-facing ridge of Zhongnan Mountain, south of Chang'an, nearly 1,300 years ago, in the height of the Tang Dynasty. It is late in the afternoon, after a whole night and morning of heavy snow. Some time after midday, the snowfall began to change. The large flakes grew smaller, and fewer, until what comes down now is only a fine, light snow, drifting more than falling, as though the sky has nearly finished and is in no hurry to stop. An old woman living with her husband, a retired minister, in a mountain villa on Zhongnan watches a long snowfall soften into fine, drifting flakes. Wrapped in a fur-lined winter robe, she walks slowly through the snowy grounds, past the bamboo grove and along the outer wall, her footprints staying behind her in the fresh snow. Settle in, relax, and drift gently into sleep. 😴 Chapters 00:00 Welcome 01:45 Sleep story begins 26:09 Goodnight 💤 Prefer listening without YouTube ads?
