This commentary was humane, unlike arrogant commentaries that showed the contempt they were held in by some. Much more objective about his subject, their is empathy there too.
However, he is completely wrong about how Chinese see death. I am an American economist who taught and researched for 12 years. I also saw of Chinese cry wen her loved ones or friends died. They also have plenty of sympathy for foreigners who are grieving In other words, Chinese are ordinary humans. Births deaths, anniversaries, etc. are all important to Chinese and other humans. Also the announcer is completely wrong about Chinese not liking their pics taken for fear of losing their soul. This has always been absolutely fails Chinese quickly embraced photography when it started in the 1800s.
@@avecmoi9429 : I think he's talking about Confucianism.... i.e. Meaning that... chinese people, see death as a motivation to be good, in this lifetime. Even today.. people often see death.. or to imagine death.. in order to do good... as a living human being.

It was not long ago that the last of old China was destroyed to make way for today's modern structures. Thousands of years of culture and tradition were lost forever. This was only about ten to eleven yrs. ago. It is so sad to see such beauty lost.
I have a Chinese Great grandmother who was born in Foochow. She married an American who was working for the Chinese Maritime Customs Service. Two of their sons lived in the same area as my Grandmother and much about her relationship with one of them remains clouded with the perceived shame of out of wedlock pregnancy with a biracial young man.
You can tell her， in today's China, no one cares about such things anymore. Almost half of the young people have the experience of unmarried pregnancies. Those with biracial blood are more fashionable.
Notice the Chinese-men are not wearing pig tails, for the most part, anymore. They wore them in the Qing dynasty 1200 till 1912. By the 1920's pig tails were no more ! Thanks for the upload!
I think it's more accurate to call it "queue" rather than "pigtails." The Qing Dynasty didn't start in 1200. It ruled China for almost 300 years from 1644 to 1912. In 1922, the last emperor Puyi cut his queue (pigtails) too.

En la toma del minuto 5,40 se pueden ver a las mujeres de la época luciendo su tradicional "pie de loto" (una deformación producida de manera forzada de los pies para que no crecieran).

This map showed Mongolia and Tibet were very much part of China. Only Mongolia got independent later. This claim Tibet was a independent nation can be said to be totally false.
It's funny when he called it "piping", but I suppose back then, people didn't have a standard pronounciation as well. He was kind of wrong when he stated that was "the temple"... I think that was a section of the Imperial Palace.... Maybe dated as far back as the Qin dynasty... I presume. He said "the chartered city", what did he mean by that ?? So the "Forbidden City" was allowed to be filmed ? Somehow I do not think that he was a priest. I am guessing that he was an enuch.. or one of the old Imperial's servants... and he looked after the building. If the other "palaces" for Ming or whatever "dynasties" were created outside of this. It meant that, once the old Dynasty had fallen, and someone created a new dynasty, the old ones, were not lived in. There is a myth that, most chinese do not like old things. This is why... but... It isn't one do not like old things, rather than to respect that it belonged to someone else, and it should not be owned or something. The Emperor prayed ?? I think the Emperor kowtowed to the sky to "hope" his subjects were loyal or something...
He mentioned that the women's feet were bound and that Empress Dowager Cixi was in the other palace ? I am assuming that, she made women bound their feet to keep their circulation or other. Cos it occurred to me only in recent years that chinese were anaemic... So I can now understand how bound feets were really a way to keep circulation going. She was known as one of the matriarchy to keep the lineage of the empire going.... I now get why TCM was always so important to us Chinese.... It was to keep the population going. I know that ginseng was really a Korean thing, which prolonged circulation or other. Or rather, maybe in hindsight, more like Mongols... Or Manchu race by that time I think. And those haircuts... I think those guys were probably villagers who still followed the Qing dynasty's dress code etc. Maybe Hans Chinese.. This is actually a really sad video... In my mind, a lot of things finally clicked... I cannot really believe that this was from the 1930s...
It's not "Piping", but "BeiPing"(北平)，another name of Peking（北京）city. it should sounds like “bay-ping”....western foreigners often pronounce wrong Mandarin.
the Temple of Heaven（天坛） is another palace outside Forbidden city（紫禁城故宫），used for offering sacrifices to heaven god and praying for the New Year，it's not a section of the Imperial Palace. the first time Peking city became a Imperial capital is Liao Dynasty at 1125 AD，not Qin dynasty.
I wish China kept building traditional buildings rather than modern boring buildings! Us tourists are really fascinated by these architectures and pagodas
Highlight for me was seeing those women with the bound feet hobbling along. While more difficult to visit, I guess China was more easy to visit in the 1930s before it was closed off in 1949 by the Communist takeover.
Now Peking is a great metropolis. On the basis of such poor, undeveloped and constant wars, great changes have taken place in less than one hundred years
Actually, the narrator wanted to say " Beiping" ,the Chinese pronunciation? Instead he said 'Pipe ping'. He could have just said Peking .That will do.That's why a lot of Chinese used Christian name for eg Tom Chan or Simon Li etc.For the convenience of most foreigners who doesn't know how to pronounce in Mandarin.
actually he was saying it was hot, piping hot is an english expression. so he said its piping. also he may have been commenting on the pipes that were everywhere at the time.
Peiping was the old Postal Romanisation spelling of Beiping. Postal Romanisation and Wade Giles was based on the dialect of old Luoyang which up till 1850 was the official Sociolect of the upper classes.
