Hi there YT Community! We’ve been working on a secret project for the past year and a half and we're finally ready to share it. It’s called Pandora’s Legacy: bit.ly/40iidOF. It's part physical jigsaw puzzle, part escape room, and part legacy board game. Visit the Kickstarter page to learn more and sign up to be notified when it launches: bit.ly/40iidOF
@@bananesalee7086 I think its from one of the "How to Train Your Dragon" movies, where Hiccups Dad sees his Mother again after it was assumed she died years ago.
Slightly sad and yet also uplifting that a young martial artist relies on his skills to care for his whole family. 1,000 years later and this is still relatable.
this was often times a reality story, young men were sent to long campaigns finding out their parents or family have died or moved on it's not all fun and games especially with how rigid chinese society could be
There's an infinity of chinese novels that touch on similar stories, some with fantastical historical legends and others focused more on military historical journeys and an infinity more focused on fictional characters based on legends and folklore, most of them are available to read online.
@ I understand your meaning, but I meant "temporally" not "historically". I like learning about bureaucracies from a very long time ago and how we humans have constructed our most complex societies in pretty much identical ways since the beginning, not how we were so "different" and now we are so "modern".
@ very true! If I were to narrow down what it is that I find so fascinating, I would probably say that it is the "complexity" of the society itself, not necessarily how old it is. So I guess I'm just as much of a fan of complex bureaucracies, and the societies they support, in the present day as well. Really, it's the whole "human experience" that I find interesting. The more complex our society, the more cool stuff we can make. But at the same time, the more complex the society, the more damage it can do if it chooses to do so (or if enough external and/or internal factors impact it at the same time). Complexity!
The bureaucratic system of ancient China was the most advanced in the world and the closest to modern times. This is also the reason why East Asian countries are the most developed regions after North America and Europe.
It sounds like an amazing journey for Chu Hong! I love how the video showcases not just martial arts but also the competitive spirit of the time. Can’t wait to see how he performs in the archery tournament!
Kinda sad most of the stories promoted by the West regarding China are solely focused on the North. I have seen little of the Fishermen and seamen of the south, or the many Han Chinese living on the historical southern frontier and coexisting with the myriad of other cultures and peoples. Always the same story:farmers in north China with the threat of nomad invasion. Not of the stories of Wakou pirates raiding Chinese merchant vessels, or Chinese seamen themselves taking to piracy as far south as Malaya. Yes, this was most common in the Ming and Qing, but they are but some stories which can be talked about in regards to the rich history of southern China.
What is the difference between a fighter and a martial artist? A fighter, using their training, seeks to overpower others. A martial artist, using their training, only ever desires to overcome themselves.
A dowry is a gift given to the groom’s family alongside the bride, and has been a tradition for quite some time, I’m surprised you’ve never heard of it, seeing that it’s also practiced in Southern China (my family somewhat does it).
@Schizz76 may be it's for some minorities. But being a descendant of the Han ethnic , it has been the tradition that the man gives dowry to the girl's family. That's a joke in Malaysia, if you want to save money, you can consider marrying an Indian wife, so that the dowry cancel out both sides. Hahaha.
@ weird, IM Malaysian, and the money went from the bride’s family to the groom. The only difference we had in our marriages was that the groom also contributed (that’s because my father’s side is a lot more wealthier).
I hope he was able to later reconnect with his farmer friend like "bro, I'm moving the fam to the imperial city and I asked for your family to come too" or something like that.
I love the voice over but can someone please cultural consult on the character design. Great info but for the love of god in 2025 can someone please provide the historic references of clothes and hair to the character designers. It seems the clothes and hair style cant decide whether its in China or Japan.

Sorry to get off topic, but TH-cam is increasingly increasing the frequency and timing of advertisements. I just skipped 3 advertisements one after the other. It's difficult to watch, especially when you just want to listen, like a podcast, while you're doing some activity or taking a shower, for example. And don't give me that talk about paying Premium. I should win something because I've been commenting, posting videos, giving likes, responding to surveys for 10 years and still, whether I want to or not, I watch the advertisements. It's unbearable!🤨
Sign up the premium version its one of the best services to buy you can play TH-cam content on your phone when its locked and get access to youtube music as well so You don't need any pandora, apple, spotify etc music app. I use TH-cam all day long well worth the $20 a month.
Hey TedEd do you know what would be a cool video? The history of money! How the shape of money changed over humanity’s history. Why did china’s money look like a little paper boat? Or when did civilizations move to coins and stuff?

Gunpowder weaponry in song dynasty China were either arrows strapped to rockets, fire lances (a shotgun strapped to a tip of a spear) or bamboo cannons, gunpowder weaponry never took off in China due to its ineffectiveness as a siege weapon due to the construction methods of fortifications and probably conservatism.
Love your channel and series. There's one thing I can't quite figure out, Who knows how to extract usdt into the wallet ah, I have a recovery phrase ./three embody husband need intact color remember hood rent fence clap glide/. How should I transfer them to my own wallet?
Tragic the mongols happened shortly after this period. China was on the brink of industrialisation in the late Song Period. But I guess God had his reasons for not letting it happen first in the East.

Interesting.
Yes but what about history vs ?
Those videos are some of my personal favorites.
"a day in the life-" series IS BACKKKKK 😫❤️ oh ted ed i've been waiting for this kind of video for so long please never stop this series
Yeah same 😮❤
sameeeee
I love this video, but this is not at all what a day in the life means lmao
Now give us a vs history too
Relax
“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you.”

is that quote originated from something in particular ? I have some doubt that it actually comes from what I think it's coming from.

Should’ve? What stops it from being a great idea? Because the characters are yellow?
Check out the Wuxia and xianxia genre
@@Schizz76 What? Why would you imply that?
I find ancient bureaucracies, and the complex societies they supported, to be incredibly fascinating. Great video!
what do you feel about now?
chinese bureaucracy is in no way ancient. it's pretty modern just with medieval technology.

I really like the way they narrate it and make us learn about history while keeping it interesting 😇😇😇😇😇
I need a full season of this with some type of love triangle and a revenge plot thank you.
It's been long time the day life of. Thank you
I'm already thinking of Hua Mulan before I even watch.
Awesome as always thanks ❤️ love learning new things and the animation and art is always awesome too!
Imagine its just a trailer for a upcoming series that would be awesome
I need to get back into archery
I hope they do something like this with Muay Thai

But can he see all of Mt. Tai?
