Keep it up Mike!! Your doing a good job!

I'm currently watching Three Kingdoms and wow it's so good! Crazy to think my fascination and love for Chinese history all stemmed from a single game of Dynasty Warriors. You've found a new subscriber! Please keep up the good work! I'm loving your channel!

For me it was Romance Six/VI or RotK 6 , a strategy game which have biography of every officers and play through of chinese history of that time. Taught myself english from that game and jackie chen films. Not good english but pretty good.

Thanks for this video and your selection of Chen Dynasty for a channel name. It will bring you GREAT SUCCESS! This is important because we don't learn enough about Ancient China in American schools (sometimes we don't learn anything at all) and it had a tremendous influence through inventions and trade with the rest of the world. You also reminded me that I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I would sit down and read the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms books. I am ordering Volume 1 now.

I'll be looking forward to those videos, Mike! Great video!

Guo Jia is probably the best military strategist during the three kingdoms era. Zhuge Liang is somewhere in the top 5. However, Guo Jia has little to no achievements in civilian matters, wheres for Zhuge Liang, the list went on and on and on...

Great video. There are some minor inaccuracies. At 2:58, the video mentioned 姜子牙lived in accordance with Taoist teachings, where in fact Taoism wasn't invented until the late Period of Zhou by 老子 who worked as a librarian for Zhou royal court. 管仲 is not 羅貫中 at 4:34 and at 6:15, the latter is the writer of the Romance of Three Kingdom. At 4:45, the man in the purple robe is not 管仲 but 劉備 who was the founder of Shu Kingdom in late Han Dynasty. The charters beside him reads: If Bei (himself) has gained foothold, then the mediocre (the current rulers) are not worthy of being taken seriously. Great work!

@ingxiong

taoism was not invented by 老子. the first written script about it is attributed to a person supposedly bearing that name. however, the said person may or may not be historical. taoism started about four hundred years before 姜子牙, at least according to the legends, as it is said that he went to study from a master of the way of the heaven and earth, who was the eldest disciple of the first human who became an immortal, 400 years ago.

He isn't, he was popularized in the novel of three kingdoms because the author was a huge fan of his and listed some of other people's achievements under his name. "There is great confusion on whether the stories are historical or fictional. At least, the Empty Fort Strategy is based on historical records, albeit not attributed to Zhuge Liang historically. For Chinese people, the question is largely irrelevant, as the Zhuge Liang of lore is regardless seen as a mastermind, whose examples continue to influence many layers of Chinese society."

I think Cao Cao should be on this list, prior the Zhuge Laing era. The way he got to the top was brilliant itself. He literally started from a peasant to running his own kingdom and leaving a huge legacy in Wei with much talent.

@lancelee124

6 жыл бұрын

Ivan Chen No, he was not. Cao Cao is actually born from a prominent family, where his ancestors had served as high as one of the San Gong ( literally translated in english as Three Duke, which is the three highest ranks one can get in Han Dynasty ). In the Han Dynasty, there was no civil examination unlike in the later Chinese dynasty, instead, people get to work in the government through a Recommendation System which is basically controlled by the powerful family of the high-ups, and Cao Cao is one of those that get recommended to be an civil servant because of his fame and family influence. In conclusion, he is no way close to a peasant, fyi.

he was an inventor: mantou, *landmines*, WHAT?! LANDMINES?!

Zhu Geliang was definitely not as good as everyone thinks and does great disservice to other top figures during that time. Cao Cao is who I consider the best all round figure in management, strategy, and physical ability. In strategy, you need to be cunning and be able to predict what other people will do. The best were Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Sima Yi. Zhu Geliang, at best, was a great inventor, loyalist, and a great country manager.
