PARTITION OF JIN PART 1 – CHINA’S WARRING STATES SERIES

Cheers and welcome to the newest series on the channel, “China’s Warring States Series”. In Part 1 we will take a look at the State of Jin near the end of the Spring and Autumn period. These are the events that became the catalyst for the Warring States period to come.

Chong’er who would become one of Jin’s most effective rulers, albeit one of the shortest…His father Duke Xian favors the offspring of a captured concubine named Li Ji above his previous children born of willing but separate concubines. Not content to merely displace his children Duke Xian wants to end their lives and devises scenarios to achieve this end but his children are cunning and manage to evade the troops and traps he puts in their path.

Chonger after spending 19 years in Exile evading a father and siblings hell bent on ending his life takes the reins of power and does more than any previous Jin ruler to correct the mistakes of the past. The reforms he enacts are pervasive and encompass both the military and non-military institutions.

absolutely amazing, so refreshing to see such a comprehensive history of this criminally overlooked time period.

NOTE: Had an issue with previous uploads of this video but should be corrected here! I will be resuming the "Persia Rises" with part 5 which deals with Artaxerxes. I had a blast with this one as I do with all these series. It's a lot of fun exploring history that isn't covered as much online and hope you enjoy it as I do!

I tried my best to not over anglicize the pronunciations and while I am multilingual, Mandarin is a tonal language and mistakes are no doubt present but again did my best.

UPDATE: OCT 27, 2019 - WOrking on part 2 currently but i want to ensure I do my best with the names. I do strive to do my best and looking back much of me wants to delete the first video due to those many mistakes but I will keep it online as a motivator for improvement. Expect the next video soon.

I was trying to teach my husband a few things about the spring and autumn periods and warring states periods history. And I found this video. Your visual demonstration is fantastic! I grew up reading 东周列国志， so it is really nice to be able to share these historical stories with ppl from different backgrounds. Thank you.

[jessjiang]

Damn. This is detailed. I wish someone could cover the story of general Baiqi. That dude is INSANE.

[FrogInPot]

Love Yore awesome series starter, but when are you going to complete this series dude?

[ryansikora]

I need more of this 😭 I learned more of the time period more in this video than in any other video about this time period

[anonthegreat]

wow I just learned about this period and so I gave it a quick search and get to this video. I'm listening to the start while in another tab and I think hey that sounds like... and sure enough it is one of my favorite history YouTubers!

I know you put a ton of work into this channel, and it is always appreciated. I'm dying for the next "Yore life as..." installment

[achillesrodriguezxx]

Will this series be continued? Youre the only channel which provides such a detailed insight into the spring and autumn period. Can't wait for the next part.

[HomesteadViewin]

Like the video? I LOVE YOUR SERIES! All of your work is phenomenal!

[Octavian]

Great video, thank you. Will you be continuing this series?

[adiladil]

Excellent video. Top notch. Please keep them coming!

[GoldenEmperorManifest]

Well done! Wait, so you're telling me that they have documentation of how the battle played out this far back? Amazing!

[umikousaka]

Really cool vid! Hope you can continue this one soon :)

[jedgrahek]

I've been looking at a lot of different history channels recently, and you really stand out, both due to the detail of information, and the enthusiasm I can hear in your voice... feels a lot closer to Dan Carlin, for example, than most, really enjoying your videos so far.

[TheRealFatmouse]

I will wait 2500 years for the next installment!

[brambosch]

Are you ever going to finish this series. Would love to see a part two :)

[thales]

Are you gonna release more videos in this series? I really wish you would. This is exactly what I was searching for

[anasevi]

I really dislike youtube, we finally get a fresh lawn of new knowledge that anyone thirsty for history would gladly lay in and appreciate;
but the algorithm only appreciates lawns that have been mowed down to dirt.

[darkestdragon]

Found out not so long ago duke wen is my direct ancestor! Can’t wait for part 2!
