Does 髮如雪 (Hair Like Snow) use a well-known chord progression?

Yes! In B major: The hopscotch progression (V → vi → I → IV) shows up in the verse at 0:23 and 0:39. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The ii–V–I progression (ii → V → I) shows up in the verse at 0:33 and 2:12. Jazz’s trusty route home: set up some tension, turn it up, then let it resolve. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 1:25 and 3:04. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
