even during those chaotic times like the Three Kingdoms, Jin Dynasty, and the periods of the Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was still very much Ancient China. You see, although there were non-Han Chinese peoples ruling some of those kingdoms, there was a whole lot of cultural exchange and assimilation going on. The Han culture was already so deeply rooted and influential that it had a way of kind of "pulling things back together" in a sense. And when it came to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were able to build on that existing cultural foundation and bring about a new era of prosperity and unity. The idea that other nations could've just "tried their luck" on China isn't really how it worked. China had its own internal dynamics, its own history of resilience and adaptation that kept it going strong. Plus, the geographical and cultural barriers were also factors. It wasn't like it was easy for other civilizations to just waltz in and take over. China has always had its own unique path of development, and even through all that chaos, it managed to find its way back to stability and growth time and time again.

​@@HeroicHistory-china 😂 China is just a geographical region roughly equal to the idea of Europe. Unique? Nah.

This is all different people at different times with different personalities, so I'm not going to be able to make a good guess😂

Well one thing he had in mind throughout his career was "loyalty to the Han", in the pov of pretty much all warlords at the time, Cao Cao's act of seizing the imperial court and relocating it to Xuchang was more or less an act of betraying the Han and using the Emperor as a puppet. Meanwhile Liu Bei opposed Cao Cao and was supposedly of Imperial lineage, so in Zhao Yun, allegiance to Liu Bei = allegiance to the Han. So him siding with Cao Cao would be unlikely I'm afraid.

video maker trying to hide some information just to make zhao yun looks good. Zhao yun safely escort liu bei family because there's zhang fei and his troops standing by on their back. Zhang Fei's biography briefly mentioned that Zhang Fei remained behind with 20 horsemen to block Cao Cao's pursuing forces. The bridge was already destroyed when Zhang Fei bellowed a challenge, similar in tone to the one in the novel, but without the highly exaggerated effect on the enemy. Cao Cao's men did not dare to come near and Zhang Fei was safe

最主要是汉武帝敢赌，把所有信任给霍去病，只可惜霍去病英年早逝，不然汉武帝晚期对战匈奴绝对非常轻松

Ma Chao Is the strongest

I will give an example real info about Guan Yu The Giant Warlord that possess Superhuman Strenght, Height and Weapon...The Height of Guan Yu is 9 feet based on Romance of Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei is 8 feet, Liu Pei is 7 feet. The weapon that Guan Yu wield is Green Dragon Crescent Long Sabre. White Reddish Face with Long Beard. Wearing Green Cloth. Guan Yu is killed after his right arm been poisoned by poisonous arrow, that make him unstable to wield his heavy weapon, and later his been trapped and killed by cunning enemy. He is beheaded, his head and body separately burried in different places. His weapon weight around 44,5 kg. Remember Guan Yu is Giant General, not ordinary size human, and already practice weight lifting and martial art before join Liu Bei).

1 Che (Ruler) in Late Eastern Han Dynasty is 23.5 cm (updated). But 1 feet in Late Eastern Han Dynasty is same with Qin Teracotta Warrior Statue feet, because that statue using real heigh of live Army (heigh of Qin Teracotta Warrior are from 175-200cm) , so 1 feet in Qin and Han Dynasty is similar with 1 feet nowadays. So are they using Che (Ruler) (23,5 cm) or Feet (30 cm) ??? Is still debated. If using Che (23,5 cm) , Cao Cao height is 157,45 cm. Guan Yu height 211,5 cm if using Che (23,5 cm). But still debated are they in that era using ruler Che or using Feet as Measurement, because if they using feet, then their average feet is in same size with nowadays feet size (1 feet = 30 cm). Me personally is more agree that there are two measurement that used in that era using Che (Ruler)(23,5cm) and Feet (30cm), for Che (Ruler) is common used for measure ordinary height person, but for some figure that have height over average ordinary person, they using feet measurement, like Guan Yu height (they must be using feet measurement to make it easy to measure it, similar with Zhang Fei height they also using feet, so if Zhang Fei state 8 , it means 8 feet, meanwhile Zhuke Liang 8, means 8 Che)

I think for very strong person 44,5 kg still liftable with one hand easily th-cam.com/users/shortsMzKilfEff3E?si=QszqLsKLpmXL81Qt

Modern Chinese perspectives on Qin Shihuang are quite mixed. On one hand, he is recognized as a pivotal figure who unified China and laid the foundations for the future imperial system. His contributions to standardizing measurements, currency, and writing systems, as well as initiating massive infrastructure projects like the Great Wall, are highly regarded. On the other hand, his rule is also remembered for its harshness, including heavy taxation, forced labor, and brutal suppression of dissent. Had Qin Shihuang lived longer, it's uncertain if he would have been able to maintain his dominance against figures like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. The Qin Dynasty faced significant internal strife and rebellions following his death, largely due to his oppressive policies. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were formidable leaders, and the collapse of the Qin Dynasty was as much about the unsustainable nature of Qin Shihuang's rule as it was about the abilities of these rival leaders. Regarding his obsession with immortality, Qin Shihuang's pursuit of elixirs and alchemical remedies likely hastened his demise rather than prolonging his life. Had other states known about his vulnerability and exploited it with fake immortality pills, it's conceivable they could have weakened him further. However, his death at the age of 49 already underscores the danger and irony of his quest for eternal life.

@@HeroicHistory-china wait hasn't modern scholarship established the Qin laws whilst strict they also ensured order and it was more of the former nobles of defeated states like Chu just sought opportunities to rebel and they weren't too happy about their homeland being taken by Qin?

@HeroicHistory-china hello again! I wonder ... Xiangyu was from Chu and Chu was the largest state with huge amounts of resources and people despite its corrupt government and leadership... why didnt Qin tackle Chu earlier and perhaps kill or get rid of all the nobles or the Xiang house clan so a future Xiangyu would not have posed a threat? Given Baiqi flooded Ying and to add insult to injury destroyed the ancient tombs of Chu King's as he marched in with Qin forces then amd yet Chu was able to recover by the time of Qin Shihuang enough to mount resistance as even Wang Jian had to take his time to take down Chu and Chu did give Qin a bloody nose at times in the major battles until Qin was able to overcome Chu as the Chu campaign dwarfed even Changping so surely Qin could have tackled Chu and then dealt with other states and ensured any Chu nobility was either executed or diminished to the point of no future vengeful rebels??? Is that not pragmatic as the Chu folk were not exactly 100% welcoming of Qin and not to mention the saying even down to 3 generations of Chu will stand and take down the Qin ... 🤔

Chu was a huge and powerful state, making it tough for Qin to take down easily. Even after Bai Qi's big wins, Chu managed to bounce back because of its size and resources. Qin often had to deal with multiple threats, so they couldn't focus solely on Chu. They tried to isolate and weaken other states first to avoid being attacked from all sides. Wang Jian's long campaigns show just how strong Chu was. Even after all the efforts, Chu's people still had a strong sense of identity and resistance. This deep-rooted animosity made it hard for Qin to completely control them. Eliminating all Chu nobles would have been nearly impossible and wouldn't have guaranteed peace. The cultural and historical pride of Chu meant that resistance was always bubbling under the surface. Ultimately, Qin's strategy was to gradually conquer each state, but the spirit of Chu people and their resistance played a big role in the eventual fall of the Qin Dynasty.

The conquered peoples, especially in culturally distinct regions like Chu, were not happy about their homeland being under Qin control. The harsh methods used by the Qin to enforce their rule and the suppression of local traditions and autonomy further fueled discontent and resistance among the former nobles and the general populace alike. This widespread dissatisfaction contributed to the eventual downfall of the Qin Dynasty.

You're welcome, I'm glad you like the content I make!

Thank you for the clarification. It's correct that Diao Chan is a fictional character and not a historical figure, but Lü Bu did indeed exist in history. I am certainly aware of and can distinguish between the novels "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Records of the Three Kingdoms," as well as the actual historical events. Additionally, Lü Bu's tomb is located in Hunfeng Village, Hunfeng Township, Xiuwu County, Henan Province, and it has now become a protected cultural heritage site at the county level in China.

Lǚbù is real in history... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BC_Bu Liubei is also a part of the Red cliff war According to a popular Chinese comments, Luo guanzhong's this novel is 70% real and 30% fictional.

Every Chinese dynasty has their official historic book, from Han to Qing, there are 24 history books. This history period is recorded in Records of the Three Kingdoms（三國志），don't confused with the Romance of three kingdoms（三國演義）, which is a novel. And you should also know that Chinese character is rarely changed during more than 1000 years, a good Chinese high school student can read a book writen 2000 years ago after his ancient Chinese education(which is 文言文, is like Latin to English). maybe you have no time to read the books, but at least the Wikipedia is a good start.

Anyone with basic education can distinguish a (at least famous) history figure and a fictional character even if some of they can't distinguish novel plot and real history of a real person, nobody in China believe monkey king is real except young children and fools.

If Zhuge Liang hadn't worked for Liu Bei and if Xu Shu had stayed, things might have been very different. Xu Shu was talented, but Zhuge Liang had a unique strategic vision that Liu Bei greatly benefited from. Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Plan was ambitious, aiming to form an alliance with Sun Quan and attack Cao Cao's Wei from two fronts. Many believe this plan was too risky and difficult to execute due to logistical challenges and the need to maintain a stable alliance with Sun Quan. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang launched multiple campaigns against Wei, trying to fulfill Liu Bei's dream of restoring the Han Dynasty. These campaigns showed Zhuge Liang's brilliance but ultimately failed due to lack of resources and strong Wei resistance. Without Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei might not have achieved as much. Zhuge Liang's intelligence and strategic insights were crucial to Shu-Han's success, even if some of his plans didn't fully work out.

​@HeroicHistory-china why was there Liu Beis desire to restore China to the Han Dynasty? What was so unique about the Han Dynasty? Given it had its share of lousy rulers and it initially wasn't exactly the Pro Insta Confucian golden age glorious Neo Zhou Dynasty fantasy of Confucius given early Han Dynasty under Liu Bang had adopted the policies and admin of Qin ...

​@@HeroicHistory-chinawhat is the or what was important about Jing Province? Is it some strategic land that allows control or is it rich in food and natural resources and land? Given if Liu Bei had Shu Han which is of the ancient Shu and Ba provinces the Qin had conquered which already has rich food resources hence Sichuan today is known for its food basin resources so why Jing Province?

Liu Bei wanted to restore the Han Dynasty because it had a strong legacy of unity and prosperity. He saw himself as part of that heritage and believed reviving the Han would legitimize his rule. The Han Dynasty was remembered fondly for its cultural achievements, economic stability, and Confucian values, even though it had its share of bad rulers. By aligning himself with the Han, Liu Bei aimed to bring back stability and gain support from those loyal to the Han legacy.

Jing Province was important because it was strategically located along the Yangtze River, making it key for controlling the region and launching military campaigns. It was also a fertile and economically valuable area, rich in resources and crucial for sustaining an army. Despite the wealth in Shu and Ba, Jing's strategic position and resources made it a hotly contested area during the Three Kingdoms period.
