Harsh Dhakad How is Chinese history boring?
Fun fact: Cao Cao killed his doctor who was the first person to ever come up with a method of doing brain surgeries. When he heard that he’s gonna open his brain, Cao Cao killed him. Then he died.
Brilliant
The egyptians also had brain surgeries although they almost always failed
Whalewil well cao cao’s doctor was a famous doctor at the time
The famous doctor cao cao summoned (by force) suggested using an axe to crack his skull open, so he can evaluate the pain and assess it. Cao cao who is known to be always suspicious of everything was furious upon hearing it, and locked him up in prison, where he later died
Cao never trust open his brain might heal him, u know in that age
11:05
Small fact: While one of Cao Cao’s men(Wang Bi) did persuade him on just executing Lu Bu, Liu Bei also persuaded him, Cao Cao asked for his opinion and Liu Bei just asked him that “You forgot about Ding Yuan(The first guy Lu Bu worked for, which Lu Bu eventually betrayed and killed) and Dong Zhuo?”
Apparently it was how he presented that question that was entertaining to Cao Cao. It apparently went along the lines of "Lu Bu was first the son of Ding Yuan, he then became the son of Dong Zhou. Today, I invite you Cao Mengde to become Lu Bu's third father." Amused Cao Cao mocked Lu Bu in his bindings and had him executed shortly after. He did however take Lu Bu's greatest general Zhang Liao into his service as a consolation prize. Zhang Liao then proved to be one of Cao Caos most valuable generals who was so feared by the Southlands that they after a battle where he decimated Sun Quans forces so badly that he was terrified of the idea of a Northern Invasion invoking Zhang Liaos wrath that they never launched a full northern campaign until after they confirmed he had died of illness.

Did you know that OverSimplified actually rickrolled us, viewers, at the intro by having the bird sing "永不会放弃你,永不会放下你“(which translates to, "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down")
Lmao pretty epic
苍天已死,黄巾当立
Edit: I did use Google Translate for the old comment. It was a bad idea because the chinese back then was diferent. What up with the likes though?
It seems i got some people angry... damn... that is a lot of replies
i was just going to say that
19 M just got Rick rolled 🤣
LOL
Can we all stop and take a second to recognize that Lu Bu really was unbeatable in head to head matchups. The only time throughout this whole history lessson that he lost was when he defeated Cao Cao’s legion while Cao cao was away, and Cao Cao only won because he returned with reinforcements to push out Lu Bu’s depleted squad. And then Lu Bu retreated back into Liu Beus enemy territory WHILE DEPLETED and completely pushed Liu out. And they ONLY defeated Lu Bu together by combining two armies together to face one STILL DEPLETED ONE! Absolute legend. You REALLY had to jump this man in order to win.
Also super hilarious that Liu Beu told cao cao not to recruit him because he would betray him. And then AS SOON AS LU BU gets eliminated, liu beu turns on him🤣
9:03
Betrayal strategy:
1. Warn the target of betrayal
2. Expect normalcy bias
3. Wait for the assassin to kill their target
4. Have at 'em!!!
Dong Zhuo: Takes over China
Lu Bu: *Im about to end this mans whole career*
It's Liu Bei
What career?
@@deadzone6661
Ever heard of a joke?
Nope it's Lu Bu, I was wrong
Lu Bu: But I'm not a warlord!
I don't know if anyone noticed this but I think we got rick rolled at 0:20. 永不会放弃你 永不会放下你 roughly means "never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down".
I feel personally attacked by this :)
Thought I was gonna get trolled by this comment but nah it's legit.
Rx Panbanda it’s a reference to the battle of the Hastings video
Yes true
Fantastic post!.
Some said that it's a lot to remember. But as a Chinese, I have to say, almost 70% kids like to read books about three countries and there are some TV series about this which are excellent, so many of us feel this period of history interesting, and like to talk about it. By the way, this cartoon is excellent! I have to say that it generalized that period well and basically stated every important event and they are all correct.
1994 version
Love how he got Liu Bei's ears right; though, he DID forget the eyestalks and lanky gorilla arms.
Yeah, according to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei looked like the illegitimate lovechild of Quark from Deep Space 9 and Mr. Krabs.
THAT IS SO ALARMING 😂😂😂
Oversimplified hasn’t uploaded in 3 months
This enraged his father, who punished him severely
lmao
Kek
lol
Yep
im wheezing
Would love to see “The Roman Empire: Oversimplified” (or something similar that takes place during that time period lol)
Yes!
I think doing the Crisis of the Third Century oversimplified would be good, since it actually took place around the same time as the end of the Three Kingdoms
I do
Omg yes
Y e s.
So on how the allies fell out on who should own that territory, the simplified story is basically that Liu Bei borrowed it from Sun Quan and refused to give it back. It is so famous that there is a Chinese adages called Liu Bei borrowing Jing Zhou (the name of that piece of land) that basically means never returning what you borrowed. In Chinese it is 刘备借荆州,有借无还
There are some advisors not mentioned, such as Zhuge Liang of Shu(Han), Zhou Yu of Wu, Guo Jia of Wei, and so on. They played an important role in this period.
6:08 Hitler tried time traveling, which enraged his father, who punished him severely.

@@Novawarp809 hey! YOU cant say that! To the guillotine!
Yeah i Saw that
A lot of the “histories” here are sourced from The Romance of The Three Kingdoms (三国演义), which is an excellent book, but lacks historically accurate informations. Most Chinese scholars source informations from the Record of The Three Kingdoms (三国志), which is an official record of dynastic history, instead of an novel like the other book. A lot of informations mentioned in the video, like Diao Chan seducing Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, causing them to betray each other, never actually occurred. In fact, historically, Diao Chan didn’t even exist.
In fact, although the Records of the Three Kingdoms is official, it is not necessarily true considering political factors. I mean, you foreigners should take it as a kind of entertainment. We mainland Chinese also regard it as literary works, because the history of the East is not objective. I hope you know.
fun fact: caocao's doctor figured out caocao's head disease, and wanted to cut it open to remove the disease (first forms of surgery) but caocao was horrified so he executed his doctor. and then he died of the disease.
I think it was equivalent to a brain tumour.
医生的名字叫华佗😄
Everyone dies, and no one is a survivor of life... To choose how you go is fairly respectable.
@@matthewcurry3565isn't executing your doctor not respectable?
@@vialeyyeI think it was a myth
"China is whole again!"
"Then it broke again!"
You got that from the history of the entire world I guess
Bakary F. Sanyang I guess
"The empire, long divided, must unite. The empire, long united, must divide" -- from 'three kingdoms'
That was a different Chinese division. This one went more like “Buddhism is traveling up the Silk Road and I wonder if it will reach China before it collapses again.”
*I guess* , only a few get it
Lu Bu just seems like that one guy on your team that doesn't care about winning, but just shoots every thing he sees.
And the moral of the story is don't trust a guy named Sir Betrayalot, no matter how good his KD.
Zhou will kick Lu Bu's ass in any condition

Thanks for making this, I always thought Dynasty Warriors wasn't real, but now I have a lot more respect
It mostly isn't. The characters are mostly real people, and the broad strokes of the events are real, but the games are based on the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written in the Ming Dynasty, which is a fictionalized and--as you might guess--highly romanticized telling of this period. It's not the most historically accurate work, although the broad strokes are right. And it's got more of a narrative arc with clear heroes and villains that makes for better adapting into a video game than real history. After all, irl ALL of these dudes were vicious, opportunistic warlords.
"just to give u an idea of how crazy and chaotic it was. see if u'r able to keep up"
me who spent my childhood playing dynasty warrior :
"completely understandable"
“He was so fat he kept burning for days”
That’s goals
The one guy with his marshmallow! Epic.
The guy with marshmallows
It's like in the bible when they get to a temple and the candle or lamp burns for days lol
Nice.
Would be an epic yo mama joke
Dynasty warriors taught me all of this already. “It’s it’s it’s luuuu buuuuuu”
You see that statue of Guan Yu
omg i know right. I always wondered how they could keep redoing this story but turns out they never even finished it. Man I spent some childhood hours forming plans on how i could survive a battle with lu bu
I used to play the hell outta dynasty Warriors 3~7 I didn't know the yellow turbans were a real thing Now I'm wondering if the Warriors were real to
There's a lot of stuff that Dynasty Warriors got wrong tho, but then it is only a game
Broooo same! LU BEI HAS ARIVED!!!
I swear i think I've watched this video 100 times. It never gets old.

Man this was without a doubt the best ad sponsor i’ve ever scene! The publisher gave you insentive to cover a faschinating time period and you gave the game easily digestable backstory for the game. Cudos!
Great stuff! War of Red Cliff is huge in that part of history. Legend says that they proposed to Cao that by connecting the ships so they can feel like land and soldiers not get sick on them, and they somehow predicted the wind on the day, shoot arrows with fires and burned all connected ships. Fun

Another great couple of games based on this era are the NES Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the SNES Romance of the Three Kingdoms II. Obviously old, but having played a *ton* of RotTK II back in the day I was able to follow the high speed history section without any trouble. That's not something I thought I'd get from playing SNES games, but there it is.
I like the condensed organization of the Three Kingdoms history and also that you didn't butcher Cao Cao and call him "Cow Cow" like most foreigners. Also, that guy's name who killed Dong Zhuo is "Lwe Bu". The u sometimes make a we ish sound.
Well for Lu Bu... if you make a we-ish sound it'll be like Luwee Bu brother

As a french I love the reference at 3:52 about the french who manifested against Macron
Three kingdoms fought for over 100 years for unification, and in the end, none of them achieved it.
Talk about irony.
And the winner, West Jin, has the dubious honour of being probably the only United Dynasty in China to be corrupt as fuck from the first generation emperor.
ETA
If anyone wonders why, with other out-of-chaos-comes-unity dynasties, such as West Han under Liu Bang, North Song under Zhao Kuangying, or Ming under Zhu Yuanzhang, those emperors either come from humble roots and climbed to the top with their leadership skills, or they started with a power level (Zhao Kuangying was a big general in Later Zhou dynasty, and he eventually amassed enough power to force the emperor and the empress dowager to abdicate for him) but it still takes cunning and humility to plan and exercise.
The Sima clan on the other hand, are dirty schemers who got lucky by the time Sima Yan becomes emperor of all China. Now Sima Yan has conquered all of China, they think there’s nothing more to do, so lets get to those nonstop Porsche Parties already.
Actually, the new dynasty only last 30 years
Michael He Oh yeah, from CE 280 to 316, but civil war already fucked China up enough that northern ethnicities created their own kingdoms since 304.
China would not see unification again until CE 589 under the Sui dynasty
