3:00 "it doesn't translate well into English" the Spring and Autumn Period has to be my favorite name for a historical period of anywhere, ever. Whether it clearly translates I have no idea, but it has a poetic sound in English that just can't be improved on

For anybody who lived or knew people that lived in Asia after World War II, Japanese people in Asia were pretty much ostracized from the rest of Asia, whether they were involved in the war or not

John Rabe is one the most important forgotten humanitarians in history. He save so many lives and did so because of his understanding of Nazi Ideology. (He never lived in Nazi Germany. He was an expat who was arrested upon his return to Germany after the Nanking massacre.)

4:19 One of the people that Qin Shi Huangdi sent out to find the elixir was Xu Fu, who (according to legend) traveled to Japan, introduced better farming technques to the locals, and later became revered as "the god of farming". Some historians have actually identified him with Emperor Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan.

Fun fact about Tiananmen Square:

That famous picture where the guy is standing in the way of the tanks? It’s not a picture, it’s a screenshot.

There’s a whole video of him climbing all over the tank and _civilians_ pulling him off the tank to get out of the way.

I feel most people assume he was run over or shot by the tank crew, but that’s not what happened.

The Xia, while not having any archeological evidence, is now seen to be most likely real due to how sophisticated the Shang was. It wouldn’t make much sense that nothing came before the Shang.

By the way a traditional Chinese farmers hat is not the conical one you see. That’s more common in Vietnam, instead it is a straw hat that is mostly flat with a bulge in the middle with sometimes the sides drooping down (probably have to google a photo to see what I’m saying)

3:49 Qin burning the books actully is more like an ancient version of censoring. He only burned the books about Confucianism, and some history books from other conquered countries, and he kept all copies of them in his library only for the scholars of the empire to study. what he didn't burn and allowed to be had by the public are engineering, medicine, and all other sorts of science and tech books. So, the point is, he just wants a really strong and united ideology, but understand the importance of technology and science. Which is very similar with China today.

Great work, as always! An animated history of the Balkan peninsula would be amazing!

This channel is the best and your videos are so engaging for curriculum.

From Hong Kong here, this was a very interesting overview. I studied Chinese History in rushed, unorganized fragments during the pandemic, and this video really helped me wrap it all up, so I truly thank you for that. As for the Hong Kong part... well.
A really teeny nitpick, but 7:27 西夏(xixia) should be 宋(song). The English part was correct, it was just the Chinese character. 西夏 is another nomadic tribe in the west between Song and Jin.

[Morisu-Chan]

The main reason why Japan is still very much hated in most of Asia is not because they DID the atrocities, but the fact that the government has kept denying that they ever did it and never formally apologizes. But newer generations are starting to see more people not care about it as much or don't care at all because it's almost been like 80 years since then.

[matthewmann]

Dynasties, periods, centuries, decades, melleniums, eras, timelines, times, timings, generations, and more of China is some of the most memorable and quotable especially during the Xia, Xhou, Shang, Song, Tang, And Ming points yeah.

5:53 was it only me who yelled out " if it weren't for you meddling kids!" and got a picture of the Scooby gang thwarting Wang Mei?

[tisilviosilence]

Ah yes the functional independence of Hong Kong still is a fact and saying otherwise will definetly not get you thrown in jail there

1: There is also a huge controversy in China about the existence of the Xia Dynasty. But we are not arguing about its existence. Rather, we have excavated a large number of historical products of the same period or even earlier than the Xia Dynasty to prove that there was a huge dynasty or a huge dynasty before the Shang Dynasty. Kingdom, but the problem is that we have not excavated this textual proof to prove the Xia Dynasty 2: It is simply ridiculous that Yunnan and Guizhou and other regions are not from the Qin Dynasty. You must know that Qin Shihuang sent Zhao Tuo to lead more than 100, 000 troops to capture Baiyue. It is today's Vietnam area and it was ruled here until the Qin Dynasty was overthrown by Xiang Yu and Zhao Tuo declared independence. Therefore, there was no Yungui in the early Han Dynasty. I understand that there was still the saying that Yelang was arrogant at that time. But by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, both Yunnan and Guizhou and parts of Vietnam, including the Korean Peninsula and Part of the Western Region (Xinjiang) was in the hands of the Han Dynasty😅
