Even as a Chinese, I’ve learned so much from your video about the official entertainer system of North Sung dynasty plus background info on the male lead’s academic achievements etc. Please continue with your good work to lift us to a whole new level of appreciation of the drama and culture of that time!
yes me too. Learned something and much appreciated...
Yes! 😊
Xui Cai , reminds me of MingLan
作为中国人却不了解自己的历史文化？你真是丢人。
One of the things I have noticed in the drama is all the different ways social status is reinforced.
One is through literacy. Sanniang comments that she only knows 100 characters, Zhao Pan er obviously couldn't read the characters on Gu Qianfan's gold bar. We know this because he told her explained to her whst was written on it she wanted it.
She also could not read the names written into the clothing on The Night Revels. She noticed they were odd but didn't recognise what she was seeing.
Zhao Pan'er also asks Ge Zhaodi if she can write. She can.
She also asks her clients to read the note that was slipped in to her accounts book because she cannot read what is there..
The note slipped into her account book was written in Liao, Zhao Pan'er replaced it with language of Western Xia. Even the guy who inserted the note can't tell the difference. Knowing a second language can save your life. 😁
The exam system is impressive,.... who knows there were such advanced thinkers in an ancient civilization. Thank you for sharing this precious knowledge, it would take tons of hours Googling to look for something I am not quite sure what or how to look for. Very appreciative of your extra effort to introduce those background stories. It all makes sense.
It’s long over due,finally the Queen of Drama Watching takes a break from ranting about bad dramas lol and gets a drama that impresses her good and yes it deserves this appreciation after a long drought of really good looking good actors in a well produced drama!
This was very interesting. I like it when you tell us about the cultural references from the ancient dynasties.
Yep.
What an awesome video. So very educational . Thanks for explaining the education and officials or castes system of the Northern Song dynasty.I love this drama.
I am finally understanding where the current political hierarchy of China comes from. I watched a video explaining how it takes 30-40 years of experience within the political system before you can get to the levels of say, Xi Jinping, that is you must have had the experience of successfully leading, for example, a province with populations or GDP bigger than countries in the west. It's interesting how this system ensures only leaders with solid decades-long experience get to take positions in top levels.
That said, I love these episodes from you. It gives your viewers an understanding of a culture that spans thousands of years and how it still very much influences the Chinese modern society. Keep going!
I really enjoyed this two-part series, learning about the culture and history of Northen Song Dynasty...keep up the good work and may we request more videos like these please! :)
MORE! We need more of these!
Please don't stop educating us on these specific details of history! We love it! And can't get enough.
Actually I'm really curious about how would people from different social class get married during this dynasty~ I've read about women from lower class families or jobs were not able to have a "main wife" title if they were to marry a upper class man, to which is similar to Zhao Pan Er and Gu Jian Fan's situation... It's honestly quite sad that the entire caste system made things so hard for people to achieve better lives...
One of your best videos. I love it. It is educating us thoroughly in the nuances of ancient imperial life.
So so happy that you have finally found (after a long pause since Word of Honor) a drama series that you liked, appreciated and enthusiastic enough to make two special series to teach us a lot about the historical background and cultural education of the Song Dynasty. I am sure that a lot of your audiences (like me, being one of them) learned a lot in these two series.
Thank you very much for spending so much of your time in doing all the researches and to make these two videos. Two thumbs UP for you!
*I JUST LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS... ESP THE CULTURAL TRIVIA STUFF.... SO RICH OF BEAUTIFUL KNOWLEDGE....I am a sucker for these....* 🥰😍😍😘😘
🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤
These 2 videos are so wonderful! The drama is great and you just added to its wonderfulness with your "lessons" 🤗👏👏👏
The Li bai poem also featured before every episode of Sword Snow Stride...a beautiful poem even when translated into English.
I love when you talk about Chinese history! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😍
I’m not Chinese. But I can’t say enough how much I value your knowledge of this Song Dynasty official n exam system in era of this drama time. You’re so wonderful in this way. I really appreciate your explaining. ❤️🥰👍 Thank you.❤️
Watched the drama because of your explanations. Very eye opening. Much love from Ghana 🇬🇭.
Thank you for the 李白 poem of 侠客行. Although I see it not as a compliment but a deliberate attempt to glorify a killing or something required using illegal ways...
I do enjoy these part series of anything interesting found in A Dream of Splendor drama. Hope the you will be making this kind of video again once you find anymore interesting parts from this drama, especually from the historical parts.
Thank you for every thing you do online. Learning from you on Chinese culture and history makes watching Chinese Dramas meaningful. Good Job!!
Love the new videos so much. Keep them coming please. As a none Chinese person this helps a lot. A lot of things make sense now. I’m enjoying the drama even more now.
Watching your videos always make me happy and I really love them ☺️❤️
Thank you for the much information, AvenueX..this certainly will add up the watching experience (at least mine) 😊 still hoping you're gonna discuss about the building and waterways they use as sets in this awesome drama..imho, they describe how excellent of a person and how great his achievement was as a way to "create" conflict: what will Gu Qianfan choose; his high-rank career that he has fought almost all his life or his future with Pan'er..
May I ask you why a famous (and really existed) prose writer and poet of that time Ouyang Xiu was portrayed in the drama in such an unfavorable light? The rest of the characters are fictional, aren't they? I tried to find out by myself but couldn't obtain any detractory info.
Love your determination and humor for recording this through all the failures! This shows how much you are enjoying this drama. :D
You are looking extra gorgeous wearing such delicate colors and fabric! Love love love!!!
I am so blown away by your captivating delivery of such insightful knowledge on the aspects of this drama, enriching our entertainment pleasure. You are very amazing and I am happily hooked to your channel like your other legion of fans. Bravo!
UFO stories. Didn't expect that must read more.
I was wondering about the state prostitute thing and AvenueX promptly gave me answer. Thank you.
The poem sounds really gallant. I like the sound of the 'riding horse' verse. The image when he just turns away and leaves coolly after some massive bloodsheds is also awesome. It's like an image from shonen animes like Rurouni Kenshin, but the feeling is much more brutally real.
It's. 5.30 in Florida thanks for all the information I learned so much love the stars all of them
As a Chinese I feel I learned more Chinese ancient culture than I learned from my history teachers in high school.😂
Thank you so much, you deserve hundreds of thump ups. Please make more educational videos like this.❤
听您说科举考试，突然想起范进中举。要是上学那会儿，历史或语文老师能像您这样讲解就更好了。
Fascinating these 2 videos and the explanations of rank, status and issues. It’s an academic course in Chinese Hx.
Thank you very much. Excellent job.
I am truly enjoying the drama. We’re in Chpt 16 .
I love the poem. I love the way you translate it so good. Thank you thank you.👏❤️
Thank you so much for the informative education. I am enjoying the series so much and wait in excited anticipation for the next chapter. I am from South Africa and just love cdrama series. Your added information helps a lot for a foreigner. Thank you once again for your education.
Thank you, AvenueX. It is informative and wonderful to learn new things from ancient (and current) China. Stay fabulous 😍 and healthy
Ok I think I can finally say that I have watched enough cdrama to have the same standard as her...haha I haven't fully complete a cdrama in so long and most of the time I don't feel the addiction to it. But Meng Hua Lu really had me...
This is super interesting and educational. Love videos like these. Been watching Chinese dramas all my life but never understand all the intricacies about the Chinese court system.
Thank you for educating us on the Chinese historical exam system!
The poetry explanation was wonderful! Thank you
Thank you so much for giving us all this information. I really appreciate your efforts on this. Being located in Germany it feels like there is not much chance to get that kind of background info, probably unless one studies Chinese at the university. I always enjoy these videos and hope to be able to watch many many more 👍😊
Wow you look so lovely in this dress. This color really suits you best. And the hair style also very nice.
I like it very much❤
Thank you for this explanation of the exam system. I learned so much. It was much more complicated than I knew. Then official rankings were even more complex. The colors & fish pockets surprised me.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you.
These are your best, most interesting videos. Thank you so much, AvenueX!
I really like this content , please make a another video about this drama , this video is very informatif , thankyou avenue x
Really appreciate it. Thank you so much AvenueX
💜❤✌🙋♀️🦊very informative. grateful learning meaning to ancient chinese poetry.
I love these videos so much! Great info! Also, if you ever feel inclined to do a video about the real elements of Chinese medicine in these historical dramas, I find that so fascinating. I know a lot of the poisons and medicines are complete fiction, but actually there have been a lot of times where I Googled some of these plants and herbs and found out that they're actually used traditionally and have been studied and shown to work. So, I'd definitely watch that if you make it 😀
I agree
Great idea for a topic!
Yes, pease!!!
Another treat from AvenueX!
That was interesting and comprehensive history lesson.
#you look great as usual
I'm already enjoying this drama but after watching this video, I'm sure I'll be enjoying it more.
Being a teacher and historian buff, I appreciate your knowledge and perseverance in videoing it 3 times (3 times it’s a charm!). I learn so much from you Mi Lady from the exam system, the entertainer (ahem!) system, and the UFO back then in the Song Dynasty?. I will definitely keep this video to rewatch. Love your outfit and different pose, walking around instead of sitting still. Thank you, shieh shieh, Mi Lady!!
Thanks for taking time explaining the rich ancient Chinese cultures! Always enjoying your videos ❤ Great job!
I so appreciate this video, I have learned alot :)
Awesome. Your passion and knowledges on Chinese culture always exciting to watch. Much to learn 😘😄
I hope we'll get a version with English subtitles on a streaming service.
Thank you so much. Chinese culture is interesting and rich. I love this drama, you explaining things and putting things into perspective is just wonderful. Keep going. We love it.
Thank you so much... You are such a wonderful and educated lady... I am learning from you a lot, in detail and with that witty and often ironic touch that makes everything more pleasurable.. Lot of gratitude and blessings!
oh more, more, on the entire poem! Please! Pretty please!
Love this kind of video, so interesting.
Thanks.
Really enjoyed the video. The poem also seems like the one shown at the beginning of every episode of snow sword stride.
Wow, I understood the drama better with the knowledge you shared!
I love Chinese dramas and cinema. I have never heard what are the subjects are on exams, is it like math, strategy solutions, social problems? Thank You for your incredible channels❤
I love it. Thanks for all the explanation, I always wanted to know how where the exams and the meaning of the colours, also i love the poem explanation
Brigitte Lin is my favorite Chinese actress. Liu Yifei is beautiful just like my classmates in high school. The way she acts to captivate or seduce the audience, is how Lin captivated me. Except Lin has piercing eye look. Yang Mi also reminds me of Lin because of her boy characterization. Eternal Love, Fu Yao and Novoland. I wonder in todays, 4K and 8K technology how will Brigitte Lin compare to Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, and also during Lins time.
I really really like it / THANK UOU 🥰💜💜💜
Is the "kill one person in ten steps" thing is what Yi Baiyi is on about when he's fighting Wen Kexing in Word of Honour?
No I have not I am I have problem I want to see the whole movie I got membership but today I should be on 40 its not there I have to watch something else because I love this movie
glad you fought to make this video despite Gu Qianfan's attempts to stop you.. 😘
Just curious the poem you mentioned seems the meaning has the same with the poem mentioned in Zhang Rouyun's drama Sword Snow Stride before ...
Susan Carr mentioned it too. The opening of SSS mentioned it! Glad that you noticed!
This is so interesting. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Thank you so much i have learned alot from this video. Pls give continue this type of inside history background. 😍
:((( please make one from a Tang setting drama? :((( thank you so much
hahahhahaahah...........3rd time is the charm. you go girl. thank you so much for your persistence,
These two videos are worth rewatching, you are an incredible source of knowledge. Your explanations are clear and entertaining, without oversimplification or highbrow academism. Thank you so much for sharing your love of Chinese history and culture.
If I can give a million thumbs up for this video, I definitely will. I love parts 1 and 2, very refreshing for me. It's fun learning, very educational minus the boredom I get in school lols. WTG AvenueX !
That poem reminds me of the opening theme of sword snow stride. Is it related or coincidence?
I read that there were times that Tan Hua (aka sought flower, as in TGCF Hua Cheng's other title "Crimson Rain Sought Flower") #3 in ke Ju, must be good-looking. The title originally had nothing to do with the exam results but about selecting the two best-looking Jin Shi (palace test takers) to collect flowers to give to #1 guy. Don't know whether an emperor would deliberately give the best looking guy among the top three a lower score to drop his deserved rank from #1 or #2 to #3 just to fit the title.
I'm definitely learning so much from your videos! XD
I am really enjoyable to watch your video.
I think it’d be interesting if you made a video about the recent controversies of this drama, particularly around the character 宋引章. I’m curious about your perspective 🤔
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive explaination. It really makes the drama so much more interesting! ;-)
thank you. Really enjoy the chinese history form you. So detail and informative.
Lol I just watched the beginning of this video . lol
Recently, it seems to me that Chinese dramas are losing their dramatic intensity in terms of plots and acting. Directors and screenwriters need a revision of the main dramatic line. Emasculated from earthly passions, the heroes do not touch the strings of the viewer's soul. The strict formulation of characters within the framework of black and white does not meet the realities of the modern world. The viewer wants to see a kindred spirit in the characters, and not an unattainable ideal in the form of highly moral beauties and beauties. People need heroes who will show a mirror image of reality. But this should not be a repetition of the European or American theatrical line. Chinese history has its own guidelines for expressing the subtle nuances of people's emotional experiences from any era.
After all your work, I think you should get a cameo in one of these dramas.
Very interesting, both videos. Is the furniture and are the ceramics Song Dynasty also?
I really like it your video about the drama which I am enjoy immensely
Super interesting and informative.Thanks for the great effort and time to make this video for the benefit of those watching the drama.
Thank you AvenueX for this，another lesson learned from you. Also may i ask which lipstick are you using here? 😊
Another great video! Thanks!
thank you for your explanation 😊 👍
I loved this 2 part videos. I loved your very interesting explanation about the Song Dynasty and I learnt so much. Thank you.
Hi AvenueX, thanks for in-depth info on Song dynasty cultural background for this enjoyable drama. I wonder whether you can explain the proverb / saying by Zhao Pan'er replying to Gu Qian Fan which basically meant "if you don't betray me, I won't betray you." I believe this saying was also featured prominently by a unique character in Word of Honour i.e. by one of the 10 Ghosts from Ghost Valley.
I believe the Chinese words sound like "Chuen pu fu wo, wo pu fu Chuen" or something like it. Can you please explain the origin of such direct and wonderful saying. Thanks.
It's just an ancient, formal way of saying exactly what it translates to. There isn't any particular significance to this phrase, anyone can use it whenever they want to add some melodramatic formality into their writing or speech. Its prominence in WORD OF HONOR is purely as result of the plot (I assume, haven't watched it), no the phrase itself.
Awesome video, thank you for the information.
I thought the poem sounded familiar... its the opener on Sword Snow Stride...I liked it a lot.
Yes, you are right! I have seen the phrase at the SSS opening so many times. However, it just now registered when you mentioned it. SSS is so kick-ass!
@@gingermintrose I know right! I loved the poem and SSS... Hope we get more of that soon. I'm watching Dream Of Splendour currently and love how well written the female characters are, for a change.
@@susancarr3311 Yes. Hope to get more quality cdrama like A Dream of Splendour in the future.
Imagine all the A list actors and actresses are state entertainment slaves hahaha of the highest level and porn stars and strippers are of the lowest level.
Like it 👍
lol spirit of Gu QianFan ! wkkwk
