Tips

culture
齐柏林飞艇 literally means 'Zeppelin airship' — a direct calque of 'Led Zeppelin' via the German Graf Zeppelin dirigibles. The band never toured China; Chinese guitarists discovered them through bootleg tapes in the 1980s-90s, and Jimmy Page's riff on 《Black Dog》 is a rite of passage for electric guitar students.

In Pop Culture

《Stairway to Heaven》
Stairway to Heaven
The 1971 epic is so iconic in Chinese guitar shops that the Wayne's World 'no Stairway' joke has been independently reinvented by local shop owners.
