liu bei was so lucky

Great explanation! Yet there is a typo in the picture. The prime minister of Qi is not "羅貫中“, who is a novelist in Ming Dynasty, but “管仲”.

I LOVEEE all of these videos. Seriously.
It's entertaining to watch & is educational at the same time
I can't help but think of Takeshi Kaneshiro whenever I see the pics of Zhuge Liang

[rinmorinai]

Video: mentions "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
Me: Zhuge Laing IS gonna be in this countdown
Video: "You know the reference of Dynasty Warriors"
Me: I LOVE THIS VIDEO ALREADY!

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

I love Chinese culture, history and civilization. 我爱中国文化。you are doing a great job of bringing it to the world.

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.

4:45 Is that a picture of the original Liu Bei from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms 1994 version?

[irwenw]

0:38 LOL.
"Liu Bei went to visit Zhuge Liang in the harsh winter".
Shows random picture of Zhuge Liang suffering after a failed battle strategy.

Hua Tuo used weed with his anesthesia! Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the best work of literature on earth, even better than Lord of the Rings.

[juchen]

Fascinating info, thank you! Those powers you described, many of us had them in those days. And the potential is still there for us to rediscover these abilities.

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!

Zhuge Liang 🙌🏻 Not going to lie, Dynasty Warriors is what brought me here. I grew up with the games, but only recently realized that they are based somewhat on history. It is so fascinating! I want to visit Zhuge Liang's temple someday- and Cao Cao's grave. Thanks so much for sharing this!

(P.S.) My newest mermaid character is going to be based somewhat off of Dynasty Warriors. Would love to pick your brain on some things someday 😄🖤

[SimonCleric]

I'll admit, my knowledge in Chinese history probably extends juuuust a little bit beyond Dynasty Warriors. So I'll still choose to believe that Guo Jia is the most awesome person in history (with Lu Xun being a close(ish) second) :P
But, I'm really happy youtube recommended me this channel out of the blue, it's so insightful and interesting. Thank you very much for taking your time and creating these videos.

[danwashere]

Zhuge Liang is smartest for sure. He defeated Cao Cao many times and Liu Bei respected him very much.

[Gentleman_of_Leisure]

No Sun Tsu? His teachings are still being used today by people all over the world.

[suhairawsaj]

I love the Three Kingdoms! It is really popular on arab tv.

[chelseapool]

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! <3

8:51 Imagine spelling it as Zhu Geliang. You might as well also use Si Mayi and Xia Houdun.

[daniellezykowska]

Thank you so much for posting.
