I've heard that the official translation is rather abbreviated, so here is a translation of all the Chinese meanings of the songs (because there are so many traditional allusions used, they are simply translated by meaning)

In the autumn
A pair of loving swans have lost one of them forever.

The one who was left behind
He falls into endless pain and sorrow, and in this emotion he gradually loses his mind in a frenzy

So he offered his daughter as a sacrifice to the devil
Praying that the devil would bring his wife back again
This decision brought bad news to the world

If the maiden who was sacrificed had not decided to take up arms against her destiny
Everyone will die in the devil's greed.

Like the moon obscured by clouds
Her fate in human society has been blurred
So with the guidance of the immortals
To another path of destiny

From then on, she loses her family and relatives in human society
Becoming a disciple of the immortals

The immortal uses the red thread
to stop her doomed fate from going mad
(The red line: In Chinese tradition, it is often regarded as one of the materials for sealing.It is also a hint of the line of destiny between people)
And before she knew it, decades had passed
(Using a traditional Chinese story as an analogy: a woodcutter on his way home sees someone playing chess, he watches in fascination, and when the game is over he returns home to find that a hundred years have passed)

Like a swan leaving a trail on the snow
Though inconspicuous, though distant
But it still leaves traces on her heart

When she returned to her hometown, the young girl
She found that there was nothing left of her hometown

Her village is filled with cobwebs
The cloths used at funerals sway in the wind
Everything she remembered as vivid had decayed
Only ruins remain

Everything that once was
Dissipates like smoke

Yun Jin.
The story, it should have ended here
But today
I would like to add one more page to this story

A noble sentiment does not need to worry that no one knows it

You're bound to meet someone who understands you
You'll get the appreciation you deserve

The red tassels that adorn Polearms make a sound as the weapons are wielded with great speed
Swords also shine as fast as shooting stars (player)
(The battle between shenhe and the player is as beautiful as it is powerful)

Just use the weapon in your hand
To calm the fierce and turbid waves again(Osial's wife)

Yun Jin.
At that time
The crane flying in the sky wants to go home.
But her hometown no longer exists
She could only leave alone
Today
We are here together, enjoying the gathering now
Friendship connects our hearts

Hi! As a native Chinese speaker, I'd like to contribute my thoughts on the line "曲高未必人不识，自有知音和清词。" ("From the world she seems apart, but there are those who know her heart")

The English translation is correct, it's just that it misses out on some of the historical references and literary nuances in the original Chinese lyrics.

1. 知音, which can be literally translated as "knowing note" (as in musical note), is a phrase that can be used to describe "a friend that truly understands you". It comes from the story of Yu Boya, a qin (an instrument similar to a guzheng) player from the Warring States period in China. Yu Boya had a close friend, Zhong Ziqi, who was able to comprehend the meaning behind every piece he played, whether it was the rolling hills or the flowing rivers that he wanted to portray through his music. However, after Zhong Ziqi passed away, Yu Boya was distraught with grief. He felt that there was no longer anyone who understood his music (知音) in this world. So, he broke his qin and vowed never to play for as long as he lived.

2. A literal Chinese translation of the line would be "Although the song she sings is difficult to understand, it doesn't mean no one will appreciate it. Naturally, there will be those who know her heart, and can sing along in harmony." I'm interpreting "高" in "曲高" as "高深", meaning something that is complex (and possibly as a reference to the idiom "曲高和寡"). "识" can mean "understanding", but I personally think it's closer to "praising something's true value" ("賞識"). "和" is usually used as a conjunction meaning "and", but in this case it stands for "harmony" ("和音").

TLDR: Singing is used as a metaphor to show that Shenhe has found someone who can truly understand her :')

This is not to say the English translations are inaccurate! It's just that there are instances where they don't manage to capture the spirit of the original Chinese lyrics, and I hope that more people can understand the beauty of archaic Chinese. I'd be happy to analyze some more lyrics if anyone's interested.

There is nothing in her story mentioned that she herself was born there, possibly her parents were but there's nothing about that either. If mihoyo wanted to show her, they could've shown her concerts before ingame. Maybe there's more of a chance she'll show since her best friend Yunjin is here but probably not since we don't even get many moments of Xiangling and Xinyan together (even walking in the background/art like Chongyun & Xingqiu) Basically, it just seems mihoyo cares a lot more about their new characters than their previous ones sometimes.

I only came to Genshin Impact for the anemo emo boys (Xiao, Kazuha, etc.) As a result.. I've been playing for about 2 or 3 years. Damn, and this song in the video is.. So dear and cozy to me. Simply.. I remember the first time I entered the genshin impact. How I got to this song. Admiration was already flowing through my heart, and my eyes were focused on the small details of the plot and the images of the characters. And music has become a link for me and genshin impact. As a music lover, I cling to game soundtracks, anime, and hold on to them as an escape from sadness. And the music in the genshin impact is what calms me down in difficult times.

P.S. Sorry, I wrote too much, but I couldn't help but share my feelings about the Genshin Impact. The text may not be very clear, I wrote with the help of Google Translate, since I do not know English very well. And yes, greetings from Russia, I hope you are in a good mood today.

My favorite part is how the song isn't just Shenhe's story but also Yun Jin's. The first half is written by Yun Jin's father and a traditional tale of the divine damsel Shenhe who joins the adepti. Yun Jin's new lines tell the story of a mortal Shenhe, where the human experience takes precedence over tradition and deification. The Chinese lines are also literally "The tunes are high, but there are those who understand her song and will harmonize with her music", which can be applied to not just Shenhe but also Yun Jin's music.

For the ones who made laugh at Yujin's singing, we can just ignore them, they are not important at all. Well just like the lyrics in this song (1:56) “曲高未必人不识，自有知音和清词”, this lyrics was translated into “From the world seems apart, but there are those who know her heart.” in the song. But to straightly translate could be “The elegant song may not be looked down by people all the time, because there are always soulmates appreciating to it and beautiful words praising it.” We use “the elegant song” to describe someone who is outstanding or has good personality but always being looked down or misunderstood. And “知音” means “soulmates” which was originated from an ancient Chinese story about Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. Zhong Ziqi was the only one who knew the beauty of Yu Boya’s music and when Zhong Ziqi dead Yu Boya broken his instrument, called Guqin, sadly because there would be no person knew his music any more. We use “知音” to describe the one who knew another one from heart.
I think this lyrics perfectly showed the beautiful personality and good future of Shenhe, and so of Chinese Opera.

I thought Liyue was so masterfully done and was worried Shenhe's part would be lackluster, but they made her story so beautifully tragic but awe-inspiring. Despite the treatment given to her by her fellow humans, and her inability to ever truly connect with the adepti world due to her humanity, she keeps at a border that she eventually breaks. Having a professional opera singer singing such a part was an amazing idea.

I sing western opera for my college major. Honestly, if it weren’t for me playing Genshin Impact and being able to experience Yun Jin’s scene in the game, I really don’t think I would have ever known the art of Peking Opera. Being able to see such a different style of opera has been such an eye-opening experience for me and I wish we were taught about it in music history. It’s so different from western in so many ways. I think, in my opinion, that Peking has way more emotion involved in it. The staging and the accompaniment are important to the overall mood, but the actual singer holds so much of that momentum and mood in their voice that you don’t even really listen to the accompaniment. All you need is the voice. It’s absolutely spectacular.

It is actually not Peking Opera. It is called Kun Qu or Kun Opera which get popular from 16-18th centuries. Peking Opera was development from it in late 18th century.

@@kathrynnjanealto thank you for understanding. No matter Eastern or Western, opera is losing the audience. Young people do not have much interest in the traditional arts.

There are different roles in Chinese Opera. Yunjin's role needs to use this voice to sing. This is not for every role but is usually the most memorable and representative voice. So that's why Mihoyo uses this one.

@cipherElysia

This is a more "modern" genre of chinese opera as it uses the opera tone to sing - 京歌. It's a bit different from the traditional opera. For example, the 1:49 part may be a bit different from other part as this part is more of traditional opera. Nonetheless, this is still autentic Chinese opera.

Supplementary knowledge: Yunjin's cutscene in the performance is entirely taken from Chinese opera.
The following are the reasons why the singing voice I have learned is unique:
1. When ancient Peking opera first appeared, ancient China still only allowed men to perform plays. Therefore, female roles in dramas also require male actors to perform, so they will distinguish between male and female roles through makeup and sharp voices.
2. Ancient performances did not have microphones and speakers, so the actors used special pronunciation methods in order to allow the audience in the back row to hear them. These are kept as a tradition today.
3. After the 20th century, female Peking opera actors began to appear in China, and Yangyang is also a very young female Peking opera actor.

I think it's pretty inspired by Chinese opera but probably not taken entirely from it. I thought there'd be multiple characters on stage. And I don't think the modern background music are traditional. But I can understand why they would go with this choice or it would be very jarring for people to hear.

@lightronger

2y↑18

This isn't true. The high pitched singing draws its origins from Kunqu, which had women singing. Only allowing men to perform only lasted like a hundred years, which is nothing in terms of Chinese history.

What MHY has done, is also what the Jing opera community had failed to do. Adding new story to the art. The Jing opera or the Chinese opera as a whole is an dying art. The art itself did not evolve along with time. In a sense, it still dwell in the archon era instead of evolve to human era. Wouldve been interesting if this character will reignite the fire of this art and inspire new content to reflect the human era.

@123newjersey3

That's really sad to hear about the art of Chinese opera. I think the main reason people are letting it die, is because they are older, and much more stubborn. They don't want to let go of the traditions they grew up holding on a pedestal. The younger gens are more willing for change. It's a shame, and I hope the art doesn't completely die out.

@miroyuuzu9516

2y↑14

@@user-jh6vt8vx4v I agree. Every newer generation has been trying to move forward to the modern age. I feel that it may also be because it takes lots of practice and training to attain this level of high-pitched singing & acting, the newer generations look more towards finding other kinds of talents and skills, leading to lesser people touching on Traditional Chinese Opera topics.
Given the fact that Mihoyo is now really popular, it made me really happy to see them introducing Chinese Opera as this top-quality cutscene to give everyone a glimpse of its beauty. In response to that, I saw many non-Chinese fans' comments on various youtube videos, showing that they're trying to learn more about this tradition.

Though it is a bit embarrassing to admit, genshin played a huge factor in helping me re-familiarize myself with my culture and though this singing and liyue in general isn’t exactly the most “authentic” it could be (which would make sense because it’s a game), it really does want me to embrace my culture even more and it reminds me a lot of my grandmother who would sit in her apartment peeling fruits for me while listening to Chinese opera on a radio!
