As a Chinese, I compliment your effort to make this video as accurate as possible, but there are several errors. No mentions of Xiongnu dividing into northern and southern Xiongnu, no mention of the Tartar Confederacy who originally rivaled the Mongols, and why is Song written as 西夏? It is not Thai, but Nan Zhao南昭. It is called Spring and Autumn period because Confucius wrote a chronical book about this period called 'The Chronicles of Spring and Autumn'. No mention of the Han came to power by defeating Western Chu. Xiongnu are not direct ancestors of Mongols, but one of the nomadic tribe subjugated by them is(东胡). No mention of Gokturk being divided into Eastern and Western Gokturk, and no mention of the rivalry and wars between Tang and Umayyad, and Abassid Caliphates, which were pivotal to world history! No mention of other schools of thoughts outside Confucism, such as legalism which helped Qin defeat the other warring states. And most pronounciations are off, sorry to say because I know you are not a,native speaker and your mother tongue is of a non-tonal language.

Good explanation.

Oh no... This is not gonna be easy for one episode... 1) Calling the period after the breakup of Shang "Spring and Autumn" is correct because there's no other way to put it when in Chinese it just means the same with "春秋时代" in Chinese just means "Spring & Autumn Period" in English. 2) Qin Shihuang, China's actual 1st ruler and the emperor of unified China under Qin, was a maniac. The reason on why he ordered books to be burnt was not that he's fearful of books but he saw that books are the weapons of intellectuals and if the state has more intellectuals, his regime would be "corrupted" by these smartasses and his power would wane. So, he ordered books to be burnt and anyone who was caught keeping books to have their entire generation of family members be it close or in-laws to be executed. This led to massive unrest and many past generals that kept war manuals hid their bamboo books underground. He even ordered his own burial ground to be littered with thousands of terracota warriors and chariots to be buried with him when he died so that "These beings can follow him to the netherworld and still protect him" while laying his body around a makeshift river of mercury. In fact even after building his tomb, hundreds of workers were even locked inside and starved to death in order that the location of Qin's tomb won't be leaked. That's how maniacal Qin himself really was. 3) The Great Wall isn't as great at Qin Shihuang's time to what we know today. In fact, the Wall has been just dirt moat all the time with only bits and pieces of the wall being reinforced. It only took almost 5 centuries during the Ming dynasty under a competent general, Qi Jiguang, that completed the wall to how we know it today taking a huge amounts of money and manpower. Due to the ridiculousness of the expenditure and loss of live during the entire construction, Qi himself was nearly executed but thank god his ambitious project came to life. 4) Tang was really the golden age of China. Not only half of what we use in the modern world now were made from the Tang dynasty, they were also known to be the safest period in all of China's history where it is known that people don't even have to lock their doors when they sleep as everyone is rich enough that no one would even steal anything due to the immense wealth everyone had. In fact, when it comes to technologies, many were from the Tang like gunpower (It was popularized and spread by the Ming but it was actually invented by the Tang), compass, cold steel technology, nailless architecture (Japan and Goryeo (Present-day Korea both learnt their architecture skills from the Tang), mass printing and many others.

That's the point. Books were bringing old philosophers into people's lives and Qin did not even like one bit of it in fear that these people would learn the philosophies of the olden ways and topple his government. The most fearful book that he wanted to get rid of the most was Sun Tzu's Art of War. With that book gone and other scholars and books were either executed or totally eradicated, no one would be smart enough or competent enough to overthrow him and his regime. Apparently he never heard of how mere farmers or commoners can just gain power with absolutely just a small sword. *Cough* Liu Bang *Cough Cough*

Loved Part 1! Can't wait for Part 2! A quick note about the Tarim Basin as being referred to as Turkic during the Han dynasty. Actually they were not so, at least during the Han dynasty. Horse-borne Turkic people were still East Asian- and Mongoloid in appearance then, and had lived on the steppes of modern Mongolia. The Tarim Basin was then ruled by the Caucasian Tocharians and other Indo-European peoples who spoke Sakka in various oasis city-states. Many served as Han clients and governors. The Tarim Basin would not became Turkic until the 10th- 12th centuries where the migrating Uyghurs (who were East Asian in appearance) married with the native Tarim Basin inhabitants. Another minor quick note is the polity marked as "Thai" and 泰国- which translates to "Thailand" in the areas of Yunnan and northern Thailand- that area was called Nanzhao, and later the Dali Kingdom.

Hey man, awesome video and great research! Glad to see a China video finally. However, one friendly critique: your pronunciation of many Chinese words/names is off. (Sorry, I can’t help it; I was a teacher in China.) I know it’s not easy if you’re not learning the language; pinyin is notoriously non-phonetic. Just a few examples: Zh is a hard J, so Zhou” is said “Joe”. X is an sh, so Xia is shya. Good job in catching that Q is a ch sound. Any word ending in “ng” is a long vowel, so Shang is said Shon. So Yan is, well, Yan lol, and Yang is said Yon; Tan is Tan but Tang is Tong. When Y precedes A or E you say the Y, but not if it precedes a U, as in Yue, in which case just say “üe” (yes, it’s the same sounds as the German ü). And J is a soft J sound, so Jin is said Gene, not Gin. It’s all a serious pain in the butt, I know, and honestly you did better than most, but just a heads up if you make future China videos. Heck, I’d be happy to coach your pronunciation if you want. All the same, keep up the great work!

They did and that was during the Han dynasty. The Silk Road opened and when the Romans vertured into the East, they somehow landed themselves at the gates of China which is present-day Tajikistan. They traded goods and stuff and that's how the Romans gained silk back into Rome and their ideas for their Scorpio which is a crossbow artillery piece (Crossbow was used by the Chinese 1st before anyone else) and how the Chinese got to know something called olives and grapes.

@j.2512

6 жыл бұрын

They didn´t tough, no one went all the way up the silk road, (until Marco Polo, and that was centuries after when China was controlled by mongols) all merchants did was trade good from one outpost to the next one closer. and there were thousands of those outposts, they simply went a bit further away from their city, sold the goods and then return to their city to fetch more. Eventually the goods crossed the continent little by little and it took years. Romans had silk in Rome but they never actually went to china themselves, and viceversa, there was olive oil in China but no chinese person ever went to Rome. The contact was completely indirect. The farther a Roman expedition ever got was still far from a Chinese capital, they still didn´t venture into China but they reported to Rome that farther away was a great empire that was as big as Rome since they knew from traders and locals. (China was actually a much bigger empire than Rome ). Don´t remember the exact emperor it was but the anecdote stuck to me from when i studied it.

@marvelfannumber1

6 жыл бұрын

+Tincho Sabala They did have contact with Rome, but only indirectly. As far as we know no single trader travelled the entire silk road during antiquity, there would be intermediaries. The Persians also tried to prevent the two from gaining any formal contact as they benefited from being the middle man in traade between Rome and China. For example there were some Chinese emissaries that travelled west and apperantly got quite close to Mesopotamia, but when they asked the local rulers how far it would be to get to Da Qin, the Persians lied and said they were only half way there. Da Qin btw is the Chinese term for Rome (kind of). It's complicated, but in Chinese mythology they believed that at the opposite end of the world there was a mirror China or Da Qing (Great Qin), which they associated Rome with. However they did finally have formal contact in the form of emissaries supposedly in the 160's A.D, as Chinese sources state the Emperor was visited by emissaries from Da Qin who brought many exotic gifts. They may have been frauds, but it's difficult to prove or disprove. At some point the Chinese started calling Da Qin, Fu Lin, which they still believed was a continuation of Da Qin. Under Constans II (who the Chinese called King Boduoli of Fu Lin) they apperantly got even more Roman embassies. These latter contacts are actually believed to be pretty genuine because the Chinese record a pretty accurate history of what was going on in Rome at the time. Chinese sources state that Fu Lin had been attacked by Da Shi (the Arabs), led by their commander "Mo-Yi" (probably Muawiyah) and that Da Shi had tried to attack Fu Lin's capital (Constantinople). They also describe Constantinople in some detail, although the details may be completely bogus. Such as the city having massive granite walls, golden statues of men and some kind of water clock. Roman sources around the same time also talk about China to some extent and get quite alot of information right suprisingly. They identified China's capital as "Kubdan" (maybe a corrupton of Xi'an), that the current ruler was named "Taisson" (which referred to Emperor Taizong of Tang) and even correctly stated that China had been divided, but was briefly reunited under the reign of Roman Emperor Maurice (who was a contemporary of the Sui Dynasty that briefly reunited China).

You don't understand what the video maker meant. 中国(zhong guo) is not derived from the word "Zhou", but it's from how people call the capital of Zhou. 中国 at first only means "the central city". In Zhou dynasty, any city resident is referred to as 国人(guo ren) while people living outside of cities are referred to as 野人. So 中国 is the capital city, where the Zhou King lived. Only later did its meaning expand to mean all of China.

@@dailydoseofspoilers8089 Most of the Chinese dictionaries (even used by Chinese population) usually includes from 48K - 85K characters, out of which most of them are almost 100%-exchangeable variations of other characters, while you only need to know approximately 8K-10K for daily communication including reading. But on the other hands, "words" are considered as combinations of various characters, so yeah, I guess a billion might be a close enough estimate.

Lol bro, typo for the Song Dynasty, thats (西夏) XiXia at around 7:53, Song is written like this: 宋, although I think you knew that cos you wrote XiXia where it was supposed to be? Im confused too haha

I think your job is good！Although there are some errors, I like it.

Had to watch this for school

4:33 by the way, it’s due to this that gun powder is invented

1:30 it is impressive that they developed writing early, and I don't want to detract from that but being connected to others and learning from them is super important ... the mediterranean also had systems like the hieroglyphs of the Egyptians (I guess drawing things comes first) but then the Phoenicians made the leap of writing letters ... that was a big leap (Syro-Hittites made it and then Phoenicians spread it ... Greek Latin etc. all come from it). The Chinese in their isolation went in a different direction. They did not get that crucial input of switching to letters.

Good work! Though I feel everything after the Han Dynasty separated into the Three Kingdoms gets a bit rushed. Also, several others have already pointed out, you have a typo at 7:32, Song should be 宋 in Chinese, but instead you wrote Xixia 西夏 twice.

I would love you to mention more about the Spring and Autumn period, the Warring state period and the Three Kingdoms period But I can’t blame you because the quality of this video is on point

Gotta say, another guy corrected a lot of things but, as a East Asian History student as of today, I feel the need to add a couple things: First of all, the Xia Dinasty is recognized as such due to the discovery of the Erlitou archeological site, considered their capital. Also, there were some states (mainly Jinsha and Sangxidui) in the modern Sichuan during the Shang Dinasty period. Finally; Xia, Shang, Zhou (and the states of the Late Zhou periods) weren't empires; the first emperor was Qin Shi Huangdi (which name translated roughly if I recall to "First Qin Emperor") and that his dinasty name is the origin (probably) for the European words for "China". Nevertheless, it is a great video.

@7:32 The map has a typo: "SONG" is labeled "西夏" (Xixia), but in fact should be labeled "宋" or "北宋". (Note that Xixia appear twice on the map). Also, after Jin's rebel and conquering Liao, Song should be labeled as “南宋”. @3:54 Confucianism became popular in Han dynasty because it was not until then that central government adopted it as the official ideology.

its 宋，not 西夏

Spring and Autumn is the name of the history records written by Lu, one of the states in Zhou dynasty. It went all the way to the point when Lu was terminated by another state. As it’s history came to an end, so did the Spring and Autumn period, and the Warring States period started in which many states fought and terminated one another and consolidated to only 7 states.
