It’s always irritated me. If we called countries by their real name it would be the first step towards a new language.

Almost, but never did. China intrinsic corrupting culture has hurt its great civilization tremendously. Even today, CCP is a black mark in China history.

As a person that finds it hard to differentiate and care about accents and ethnicities I didn't realize your manner of speech was an accent, i just thought it was your natural voice

Nobody in the world will buy that for a trillion dollars 😂

You are 100% Javanese! Lol. I’m Javanese too, although i’ve been living overseas for the last 17 yrs and only managed to visit Java a handful of times since. “Medhok” banget, mas!!!! 👏🏼

"yellow head and dark skinned" is just an idiomatic expression that she's rather chidish (well, for the norm of the day) and unkempt (for the standard of her family. Her father was a respected person, after all.) Furthermore, I'm sure you know that the legend says that she was just doing so to sway away potential suitors (yeah, once again: her father was well-respected, so there would be scores of men trying to be his in-laws. The fact that the father offered means at least that first, most difficult hurdle was already passed by.)

Basically like India and Pakistan. Lot of commonality yet lots of hostility

Why is the painting of Mona Lisa worth the most? There are stones carved with more precision and are older by at least 1,000 years. Whoever sets these price tags is bias.

There is no such thing as taoism 😊

I love Ghost of Tsushima, however I do not like how they just spamming the word "honor" in the dialogue. Especially between Jin and his uncle :D

King and general is literally American propaganda at this point. Their video on modern China look like someone had drugs before making it.

poor ranmaru barely gets a mention :(

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺🇳🇿🇹🇼🇯🇵🇰🇷🇵🇭 We must not fail to give our unequivocal support to fellow democratic nations like Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Philippines. There is no common ground with authoritarian China!! After Covid, threats to invade Taiwan, secret police stations across the globe, claims to the entire ocean and territorial waters of the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, destruction of coral reefs to create artificial islands for use as military bases…. China is way out of line these days… but you can’t reason with dictators! Americans are tired of China’s BS! We are tired of Chinese aggression! We, the allied democracies of the world, need to be firm and stand together no matter what! I sense a decoupling of West from China on the horizon. The Chinese authoritarian dictator Xi Jinping and his aggression is pushing the West further and further away. The USA along with its allies and authoritarian China are fundamentally at odds with each other on so many issues. There’s no middle ground anymore. The way the US Congress keeps passing Taiwan related acts and laws, I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to scrap the entire outdated One China policy in favor of a One China One Taiwan policy. I stand with Taiwan and so do the majority of freedom loving Americans. Without Taiwan none of us would have the microchips that go into our electronics: smartphones and computers, you name it! 75%-80% of the world’s chips and semiconductors come from Taiwan, our ally since World War II. Imagine if China got its hands on that microchip industry…. THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD BE ON ITS KNEES begging the master for handouts. We cannot let that happen and we cannot allow a fellow allied democracy fall to an authoritarian dictatorship like China. Totalitarianism is on the rise again. Democracies MUST stand together! Hopefully, the United States can convince other democratic nations to decouple and isolate China. ❌ We are opposed to the genocide of the Uyghur people in northwest China. ❌ We are opposed to the harassment of and threats to invade Taiwan. ❌ We are opposed to the stripping of Hong Kong of its democracy. ❌ We are opposed to organ harvesting. ❌ We are opposed the suppression of Tibetans. ❌We are opposed to territorial grabs and artificial island building for war purposes. ❌ We are opposed to biological warfare… viruses made in labs! ❌ We oppose the secret police stations the Chinese government has set up in 53 countries (6 in the USA alone) meant to spy on, harass, intimidate, kidnap, or extort anti-Chinese communist dissidents in other sovereign countries. ❌ We are opposed to spy balloons flying in our air space. ❌ We are opposed to troll farms whose Chinese keyboard warriors (Wumao) flood social media with lies and propaganda in an attempt to steer public opinion on China and create doubt about the Western allies and NATO.

Monkey was the biggest con artist in Japanese history and I do think he has something to do with lord oda dying he's the only one that gained everything from it stole his legacy destroyed his clan

Japan is too unique for the horse rider theory to be true. Also, there are no Kofuns on the continent. If Chinese or Korean conquerors conquered Japan, I would expect Kofuns on the mainland and for Japan to be more like China or Korea.

20 bucks says cancer makes the list

sound like Javanese CHINDO

If the Song dynasty won, it would have existed. The Song China lost, and it vanished.

Because of the strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties, overseas Chinese were called Han or Tang, as well as Chinatown（Tang Street）

majapahit ikut shogun sono

there is majapahit kingdom from south

I loved the tv series. I go back and watch it yearly. It’s so good!

@45:30 So who is the Fledgling Phoenix ? I thought would be Zhou Yu, but apparently it is Pang Tong

Why you hating on Liu Bei bro?

There was no vietnam yet at that time, all Chinese tribes Chinese kingdom and some united as Dynasty , it was Chinese tribal war while the realm be united

Your scale to showace different important events happening in same time is really helpful

GAIN VICTORIOUS WITH DIRTY TRICK WILL NEVER LONG LAST!! Even IN FACT. Gojian actually implemented Sun Tzu's ART of WAR ITSELF!!

The Confucian version you suggest where Zuko reforms his father sounds similar to the ending of the original Star Wars trilogy. Luke believes he can save Darth Vader, even though nobody else thinks it's possible--not even Vader himself. And Luke succeeds. In the West, I've seen that Star Wars ending interpreted as more of a Catholic Christian thing: an evildoer who repents at the last moment and is forgiven. As a result, it's sometimes viewed cynically. For some people it feels like a 'get out of jail free card' for all the wrongs Vader committed, whereas the audience was hoping to see Vader righteously punished--which is maybe more of a Protestant Christian thing? However, I remember watching a reaction video of a Chinese couple watching Star Wars for the first time. They kept commenting approvingly on how Luke was a 'good boy' and a 'good son' who was trying to help his father. Star Wars made an attempt to get some Eastern philosophy into its storytelling--clumsily most likely, but it did give it a go. Anyway, getting back to Avatar ... I'd seen quite a bit of Japanese anime before I saw The Last Airbender, so I too felt a mild cultural uncanny valley effect even though I'm a white Australian. The characters and plotlines were more Western than Eastern. I was undoubtedly oblivious to most of it, but certain bits jumped out at me--like the arranged marriage being portrayed negatively, or Katara wanting to be taught waterbending being framed as a showdown with sexism, or the way it was taken for granted that young blind Toph should run away from her parents and be free rather than dutifully stay at home and be obedient. (Of course, it's possible that those things didn't actually bother Easterners and I'm foolishly assuming they would!) But I'd go further than calling Avatar merely Western. It's also deeply *American*. As in, the United States of America. To most people on the planet, an Aussie like me is indistinguishable from a white American. But Aussies are very conscious of how Americans differ from us. And how the British are different from both of us, and the Canadians, and the New Zealanders ... The way everyone thinks and acts in Avatar is intensely American. It's hard to pin it down exactly, but it's got that American vibe to it. I don't just mean the episodes that knowingly riff on American cultural tropes, like the prison episodes or the wrestling parody or the teenage beach party. Those are at least partly self-aware and good fun. It's more the general attitudes to life on display. For instance, the 'battle of good and evil', 'good guys vs bad guys' dualism stuff seems to be played up a lot more in American culture compared to other English-speaking Western countries. But the bit that really stuck out was during the beach episode, when all the teens sat around in a circle and explained to each other how all their personality problems came from how their parents treated them as kids. That was so incredibly American it hurt me in the bald eagle.

The fate of Song princesses was particularly unfortunate. Many ended their lives or tortured to death rather than be violated by Jurchen men.

Was it the Jianzhou Jurchens who started the Jin dynasty?

This makes me want to start animation studio in my country by offering cheap animation production

W vid W 😊

Thumbs up for the narrator. Informative and well paced.

土尔其人和匈奴一点关系都没有，非得来沾边

Non all ancient Chinese women bound their feet. Hakka ladies didn't and don't do this. Other farming communities also.

Taoism should lead you to the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church (The Church Christ established of which the gates of hell will never prevail against.) See Christ the Eternal Tao.

On 51:50, the narrator asks about the effect of high protein diet on stepp people. It has an effect for sure. Even Korean people in Kazakhstan grow stronger in their physique

On 30:00 the narrator mentions that assemblies among Xiongnu and Huns were called kurultai. In fact kurultai has a root word "kur", in kipchak-turkic languages this means assemble. Later the word indeed was used by Mongols too. Funfact: if we consider the name Karakurum had turkic origin, this means the city was literally called great assembly or overwatching assembly, because kara - great(if adj)/plentiful/watch(if verb.) and kur - assemble/build

On 25:10 the speaker tells about the Hunnic tradition when the older brother dies the younger brother marries the widow of the older brother. This tradition preserved among turkic stepp people until the beginning of 20th century. It is called Amangerlïk. In fact in harsh conditions and environment this was a wise tradition to take care of the widow and nefews/nieces allowing to strenghten the clan and mutual survival. My grandmother took the name of her biologic uncle as a surname, she called him father, and he took care of her mother and sisters after her biologic father died

Doesn't matter now. Still chinese

Wait. There is a Marvel Villain who might be different but interesting the moment mentioned tech mogul. The Mandarin. The Comic version not the Joke Live Action version. He's Comic version was ment to be a Rival to Tony Stark. He's effectively a More Magical Version of Tony Start when it come to creations.

Ok. I can at least confrim you are not some CCP agent since you actually say Different Chinese Communities have a different culture

Sima Yi and Tokugawa Ieyasu share many similarities

Anyone here grew up on koei-techmo's samurai or dynasty warriors?

Imagine having 8k brothers in arms who'll follow you to your death in battle. The Nation of Chu has always been written and screened as loyal warriors. I want them on my team thays for sure

Xiang Yu was what Lu bu could of been if not for his greedy and evil nature

Man, Liu Bang was probably one of the most fun rulers that ever existed.
