Linfamy's video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdN6m7V7uN61f3U.html Check out Linfamy's video to find out how the "Taoist" ideas of Yin & Yang and the 5 Phases (wuxing) was brought over to Japan.

Can you make a video on how Guan Yu became a diety in China and eventually Asia? That would be an interesting topic!

"A frog in a well cannot discuss the ocean, because he is limited by the size of his well. A summer insect cannot discuss ice, because it knows only its own season. A narrow-minded scholar cannot discuss the Tao, because he is constrained by his teachings. Now you have come out of your banks and seen the Great Ocean. You now know your own inferiority, so it is now possible to discuss great principles with you" -Zhaungzi 井蛙不可以語於海者，拘於虛也；夏蟲不可以語於冰者，篤於時也；曲士不可以語於道者，束於教也。今爾出於崖涘，觀於大海，乃知爾醜，爾將可與語大理矣。

What a comprehensive video! I recently started looking into Taoism and was wondering about these historical developments. As mentioned Vietnamese culture is saturated with Taoist notions, but they are so entwined with Buddhist or folk practices that one does not know where the threads begin. Somehow it's very harmonious, like the cosmology in "Journey to the West". So glad to see my two favorite channels doing a collaboration. Your channel is so valuable.

It's incredible that such high quality content is totally free. Thank you!

Interesting to note is that the Chinese name for Jupiter 木星，Mars 火星，Venus金星，mercury 水星，Saturn 土星, are named after the five elements, 金木水火土。In a Taoist book 阴符经，the five elements are used to refer to these planets in the solar system (or so I believe), and in according to the Taoist philosophy of heaven and human correspondence (actually not exactly sure if it is Taoist or Confucianist), changes in those planets (which I guess to be the retrograde motion of those planets), means something auspicious would happen (some kind of divination of the future, something to do with the mandate of heaven I think). I'd argue the book is about astrology and divination, but some say it is a military book. I read somewhere that the Yi-Ching was the foundation of the Chinese calendar. The calendar was relevant to farming and knowing the seasons etc, but it was also used for divination. The derivation of yin-yang is from Yi-ching I think, and the five elements from yin-yang. The Yi-Ching is 3 separate books written at different times, and there are also interpretations (divinations?) written by Confucius. But the book is very tough to read, so I haven't really understood what it is talking about, other than its divination purpose. Apparently, 2 out of three books of the Yi-Ching is lost throughout history, but other claims say that the current version encompasses all previous versions or something like that, I'd stay on the positive side and hope we have the full version.

Once again another incredibly well structured, presented and interesting video! You keep absolutely smashing it, and to think you collabed with one of my all time favourite KZfaqrs is incredible! You deserve the success and so much more my dude

Not gonna lie, my first time exposed Taoism is from "Mr Vampire" movie series. I always thought Taoist is like Chinese vampire slayer, back when I was kid

Here by Linfamy's recommendation.

Found this video thru linfamy, glad I did! Great video, I subscribed!

A truly beautiful and harmonious video ^^

Koreans later further developed 5 phases and Yin-yang into their traditional medical practice as well. Interesting to see how mixed Taoism got evolved.

I love the graphics and illustrations.

absolutely love it never seen a better video on it!

Taoism aka Daoism is one of those faiths that are more about inner discovery

OH MY GOD MAN.... I've been reading about teachings of the 100 schools of thought since I was in high school just for self interest. I am a Chinese born and raised in South East Asia. My family worship is the mixture of confucianism and taoism in the magic sense only, but I'm curious as to the teachings of Tao. So I read about Lao Zi, Confu Zi and the other -Zi of those eras. It got my confused, all these are good for the mind, they teach us logic and stuff (and I still dislike Confucianism). But for sure, none of them speaks about magic, feng shui, or any of the god worships. Now thanks to your video, I know what they are roughly. It's so clear now. Thanks a lot bro, you teach history in a cool way.

Very facinating history lesson. Thank you for sharing this! 🤓

Excellent work! Thank you for the great information as well as animation. You bet i'll stay cool bro.

I would very much like to see an episode on the famous admiral Zheng He, and more specifically on why his explorations were discontinued. And another on the life of the great Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai. Thankyou!!

Cute little Linfamy brought me here and you have a new subscriber

So yin yang and the 5 elements look like the vedic siderial astrology and its 5 elements and ruling forms of om and aum. Do you think there could have been a development of thought of these much older philosophies into the Chinese form?

Simply amazing. I totally loved it. Thank you!!!!

Always looking forward to your videos

the five phases also affects their music theory... i would love to get my hands on a book with that knowledge.

Patiently waiting for Buddhism to be covered. Thanks! From a Chinese Buddhist fan

wow...that 3:07 description of the yin yang is actually how it's supposed to be described... the yin part is indeed not supposed to be visible... you're a genius^^

Here from Linfamy, but I have seen your tabletop RPG channel. Didn't know about this one.

Love your video

This video is incredible

Narrator: The five phases can destroy each other. Fire melts metal... Me: ROCK PAPER SCISSORS LIZARD SPOCK

INSTANT SUBSCRIBE! Thank you for this 😆🔥👏👏👏

I love you work. I'd love if you could make a video about the yellow turban rebellion ^^

Well done

Cool history bros, please use different letter type of font for your description in your pics. They are difficult to read also make text size larger. Eg. at 8:52 and 9:34

Wow this is so confusing but so interesting!

The KZfaq Algorithm kami are pleased by this collaboration!

The 5 elements played an important part in the game of Pokemon!

Linfamy sent his regards

I love you and L8nfamy

This channel is the best!

I recognize CJ from don't stop thinking when I heard him talk in Linfamy's video and came her asap

Your ponytail!😭

Hi, Linfamy sent me. :)

help I'm stuck in a loop going back and forth from limfamy to cool history bros and back to limfamy! help me stop this taoism recursion!

Please make a video about Sun Yat Sen's revolution and how his ideologies influenced by Confucianism, Legalism, Western democratic ideology and Western socialist ideology

Ah, so the five phases are like a cooler and more complex rock paper scissors

Interesting. I have always been curious about Taosim. Was Lao Tzu against all rituals?

I still don't have the whole picture. How did Buddhism and taoism reach the korean kingdoms other than goguryeo, and what were the differences between the three korean kingdoms when it comes to these teachings?

Linfamy sent me.

Ommyodo is even incorporated into Shinto and sword making

Hi, which books would you recommend for introduction in Chinese philosophy?

"I know just the right guy to ask..." "Hi! This is Aliana from Best Buy" 😂😂

2:40 hey look! It's Song Jiangs father there 😂

Love from Korea Bruh.

Interesting... *Self-note: this would explain how some ideas over the centuries were attributed solely to a single individual "Confucius" and yet one wonders how much of this is true? Lun Yu wrote The Analects of Confucius's teaching; However, much of the actual text was written by his students over a time period spanning the thirty to fifty years following his death. How many of these were actually his teachings and not interpretations by his students? What was left out? What was changed? The human minds back in ancient China were susceptible to the same flaws, lies, rationalizations, and simple forgetfulness as our modern minds, if not more. Conformity to the existing system/rulers is also a thought when thinking about how long these were written after his death.

Perhaps Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism along with Mohism, Yangism, Logicians, etc ... should all be considered one religion, the religion of Chinese civilization? Maybe call it Zhouism named after the Zhou dynasty since that’s when these philosophy schools were born?

Doesn’t water also erode earth and corrode metal and dead wood?

Can i get this timeline as a png?

Yin= matter that's combined by Yang, things/trends that gather, shrink etc. Yang= force that's produce by Yin, things/trends that spread, grow etc. 5 elements if you look into there true properties, they all contain the Yin and Yang properties, but with different proportions.

Cao Cao Documentary when?

Can someone please add automatic English subtitles?

In india there is Shiv sakti concept 🤔

What are your credentials for these videos ? Also, would you please list the sources that you use to make all your videos. There are a lot of claims that need to be supported. Having said that, impressive work.

The place where I come from, any folk religion we just categorize it as Tao jiao

Automatic subtitle is German

The first 25 seconds of the video was very 💀with the Chinese memes

5 faces or 5 phases???

Isn't it pronounced as "Daoism" (道家 Dàojiā)?

福生无量天尊！

No, wrong statement: Yin Yang is just a name. The Yin-Yang concept was there, and rooted deeply in China/VN cultures since ancient time. In Tao Te Chin did talk and teach about the ralationship of "Having vs Empty", "Light and Night", "good and bad"....

It started off as philosophy, then religion, then kung fu, then...star wars xD

meanwhile, Europe was being it's usual ignorant self due to the Catholic church as well as what is now England was still divided in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.

Shiv shakti. Yin and yang. Bore mat karo Yaar. Oldest scriptures.

Are you sure you weren't describing pokemon?

0:14 wh...y?

Can you pls add subtitles u pronunciation is very difficult to follow

Ying and yang concept already had on the Bronze drum 🥁 of Vietnam long time ago way before Taoism. And on the Drum, it stated that a year had 364 days.

As a westerner, I like and agree with a lot of what Confucius has to say, but the words of Lao Tzu sound so annoyingly vague and remind me of those pseudospiritual self-help gurus who use many words to say nothing at all.

.

I think it's "daoism" and not "taoism"

lol, Chinese practically at its finest, taking bits and applying where it matters, reforming and adapting with the times 😂

A popular Korean folk-hero, Hong Gildong, was said to be a master of Taoist magic. Reading his story gave me a very interesting and confusing introduction to Taoism lol

Ironically those who seek for peace always the one who create the chaos.

Unfortunately the writers of the ancient texts did not have modern language available to them otherwise they would have been able to properly convey what they were actually talking about.

5 faces = Hindu 5 elements

The elements associated with the five phases do not have to do with literal woof, fire, earth, metal and water. That’s why they are called phases. They are states of change that all manifest phenomena and Qi undergo. The elements associated to each phase are simply symbols which embody the attributes of each phase.

2:32 I like that😍💋 💝💖❤️

Taoism or the way of the Tao, is the basic principle of acupuncture that predates History and is recorded in the works of Huangdi Yellow Emperor 2500 BC..... Yin-Yang and 5 elements as well as 8 forces are parts of nature and so are as old as the Tao itself.....

Bald guy: *cuts himself while dancing* Taoist master: 'Thats not cultivation...thats cocaine.'

This is really misleading. All rubbish talk.

Yep, it was an interesting video, but I don't see a seme in the comments, 1/10

Enough of this Collab, get to the point man!!! Tell us more about the Tang dynasty!! Lol nah we good, keep up the good work

Korean : Taoism is not from china , it's from me Since watching the speeches of Koreans on KZfaq, the history of East Asia that I have studied for more than 30 years turned out to be wrong. It turns out that East Asia is not a Chinese character cultural circle, but a Korean cultural circle. Everything is from Korea 🤣🤣🤣

"chosen" is the old country name of 🇰🇷 Korea. pin.it/4StxErv The etymology of "CHOSEN" means a child of the sky, brought to Earth by a bird when a new moon (mother) gives birth to the light (child) of the sun (father). Korean Hanbok is a traditional costume worn by the child(khan,han,🤴)of the sky when they perform rituals to the sun and the moon. Please Note^^ Shangdynasty = dangun chosen 商朝 天干 = 朝鮮 檀君 History was distorted and divided, and when under colonial rule in the 1800s, they learned colonial history. Currently, Koreans have fled (moved) the dynasty to the Korean peninsula where the Russian embassy was located in the 1800s with Emperor Gojong. Korean means continental nobility. Modern Joseon(chosen ) and Ming(明) Dynasty are the same thing. Cheonjamun was created by the ancient Korean "CHOSEN". 🇰🇷 The old Korean name is "CHOSEN". Characters like "bowl" containing the original ancient language are called sonic characters. Over time, multiple meanings began to be added to a single word. As a result, communication problems arose. So, we studied to solve this problem. As a result, separate meanings were made to create characters. As a result, a cheonjamun with meaning was created. King Sejong of Korea did not create text. It distorts the history of hangul in Korea. Also, the original name, not "hangul", is "cle ssi or cle thi or glish". Its history goes well beyond at least 5,000 years. “GLISH” in English is rooted in Korean characters. In addition, Korean language is the root of the world's languages, including Sanskrit and English in India. pin.it/2QxcZP7 Currently, Korean history is being distorted by colonial history and being educated. www.gelssi.com/ Emperor Gojong moved away from the continent and before the establishment of the Taiwanese government, Emperor Gojong flees to the Korean Peninsula where the Russian Embassy is located This means that the dynasty moved to the Korean Peninsula. At that time, Vladivostok was called Liaodong Peninsula or Giza, meaning the same. This is the Korean peninsula now. Japan wins the Russo-Japanese War and is occupied by the Japanese army. This is the current Korean Peninsula. Joseon is the continent itself, and it is now the People's Liberation Army that the Korean peasant forces abandoned the scholar and joined the European forces to become rebels. Because of these forces, the dynasty moved That is why I came to the Korean Peninsula. The Koreans are the scholar who defended the emperor, and they are called the descendants of the celestial son, and they are called CHOSEN = Josen. They say that the bird came down with the seeds of the sun The origin of hanbok is that when a rite is held in commemoration of that day, a rite in the form of a bird is worn. pin.it/3Wdgimi

I'm not sure that this is accurate information.
