Chinese Dates Falling Into Bowls

from Favourite Beijing Sounds by Peter Cusack

/

about

In autumn people in Beijing courtyards would pick dates by placing bowls under the trees and shaking the branches with bamboo poles. Today it is a rare sound. In this recording the students have re-created the scene by dropping dates from high up a tree.
