How does this not get a million view?!?! Awesome production!

Hey all, this is a compilation of the Qin Dynasty Origin series. Sorry that we haven't got an original content this week, but we're preparing a massive series on the Han-Xiongnu war. Catch us next week, as we cover Modu Chanyu, the most powerful ruler of the Xiongu Empire.

One thing you missed out why Qin succeeded is their hydro projects, such as the Dujiangyan, which gave them superb irrigation for agriculture and flood control in their Sichuan home base.

I want to admit why I keep coming back to this channel.... the animation is pleasing, the depth of information helpful. But it's the script and story telling that are just great. And I like listening to your voice, acting out the characters.

for those who read the Kingdom manga,
15:00 is chapter 757

Thanks for your great work! I think it's important that more people understand the history of China, especially during this period in history when the world is changing so fast. I also appreciate that you use proper Chinese pronunciation and show the Chinese characters as well. Your efforts do not go unappreciated! 🙏🏻

Your content is fantastic! Not only do I feel so educated but I am also very entertained. Please keep making more content about Chinese history!

This probably makes me more and more interested in finding out more history which also helped in my studies. It was amazing thanks for this amazing hardwork.

Thanks for providing us with great easy to digest content. Was always interested in chinese history but very hard to find good sources as a non chinese speaker.

[RandomShortsAP]

Thanks for this short overview of Qin dynasty. I enjoyed the video but Lu Buwei was not such negative character as you mentioned here. He did many good things as well for Qin and that's why king of Qin always respected him even after many conflicts... And the actual reason behind his suicide was also different.
Li Si and Han fei were my favorite chinese characters from that time period.

As an Chinese in Hong Kong, it is interesting to watch how you western people translate and understand our history, subscribed

Legalism was adopted by Qin far before the First Emperor took the throne. The video mentioned the Emperor used the power built up from past 6 generations. The reason Qin was able to build up her power is due to Shang Yang's Reformations, a significant event in Chinese civilization, in essence China today still is based on that Reformation. The First Emperor's ancestor Lord Xiao of Qin, in the year 356 BC (more than 100 years before the First Emperor) invited Shang Yang to Qin and Shang Yang put his Legalistic school of thought into full effect. In one generation, Shang Yang reformed Qin state from a backward feudal fiefdom into a centralized government and changed its culture from serfdom into a military powerhouse. You cannot understand modern China without studying Shang Yang Reformation in detail (the english wiki page is thoroughly inadequate).

Just finished my second read of Kingdom. The next obvious choice was to go to Youtube and learn about the actual history.

[alexanderwaite]

OITSTANDING!! I love the history and entertaining tone and sly humor. The art work is awesome.

[jacobgrisham]

You are the kind of person who got me obsessed with history, please keep up the good work!

[cyhau]

The entire plot of "Kingdom" manga is done in 42 min.

[MrAllmightyCornholioz]

Reminds me of an anime called Kingdom in which Qin Shi Huang is one of the main characters!

[oxsibmf]

[amirfarahbakhsh]

it is amusing that in persian we call china in the way you pronounced "Qin", and how this name is similar to the name of the country "China"
