How else would you answer the age old question; "Where do babies come from? " Whilst preserving the child's innocence? Get creative: My mum tells me I was bought at the hospital's baby shop.
Both are correct regardless. If the commenter is from HK then it would make sense why that person is using British spelling . HK was a former British colony after all.
The animation is really beautiful. I especially appreciate how the animator showed the emperor swooping in on the lady. That part gave me the creeps. 😂 Well done, animator.
As someone who experienced two extremely frustrating pregnancies, I can appreciate the magic and relief of having a new born daughter/son birth from a gourd.😅
narration on this is so beautiful teh narrator modulates their voice perfectly according to the part of the story being narrated. in my culture, people actually train for recitation as a performing art
This line: As her ters filled the construction halls, seeped into the craks and soaked it's stone entire portions of the wall crumbled into a river of grief
There are a hundred strories in India using the same thread. Sathyavan-Savithri is one popular one Kannaki is that is famous in south indian state Tamil Nadu. There is one such story about a grand well in Rajasthan.
Wow I was not expecting to see this on TedEd. One of the most famous 4 love stories in Chinese folk lore. As a Chinese I have to admit I did not remember the gourd birth part and the part where the Qin Emperor took her as a concubine. Great video
Due to the strict control of iron in the Ming Dynasty, the iron POTS used by the Mongols for cooking were rare and precious treasures. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, 1,000 Ming cavalry could chase 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, because the Chinese had armor and the Mongols were as poor as beggars.
Dennis for romantic the Great Wall well temple was built after her I guess the Great Wall is longer love can always stand even the great Wall of China is the monument of true love if the longest life
Those days people sustained their love by "breaking up" Walls... These days they don't need to try so hard. Now Read only those written inside apostrophe. You will find the reason. 🙂
I always look up your videos for update! Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserve. Thank you Mrs Linda, imagine investing $1000 and receiving $5,300.
I will be forever thankful to (Mrs. Janine) for her and dedication, she is just too good at trading, and she has proven to me her skills in trading. Thanks very much, Mrs Janine

Love may build bridges, but grief apparently takes down walls.
Oh this😢
What a beautiful interpretation.
@@TEDEd Wow, thanks! Love your content!
very poignantly and elegantly put (:
@@LightBlueVans Thank you!
I’m Chinese. I’ve studied a poem about this story in school. I had no idea there was so much more backstory and learnt loads tonight. Thanks :)
Past tense of learn is learned 😊
@@ariana_208 learnt is also correct but in British English
Hong Kong ? If not uh idk don’t answer

Ofc you don't, you live in a dictatorship. We know more about china than Chinese.

Wars show the worst side of humanity, ambition with lack of compassion are the main problem

ohmygosh i remember my teachers telling me this story as a kid
The girl's name is so beautiful. And the pronunciation by the narrator also add so much joy to listen to it.
narration on this is so beautiful teh narrator modulates their voice perfectly according to the part of the story being narrated. in my culture, people actually train for recitation as a performing art
Wow! That was depressing.
I had a children's book of this when I was little. The story always stuck with me.
Grief is the price we pay for love .
This is a beautiful tale that belongs in a movie. Hope an studio will eventually find it and produce it.
It better *not* be Disney
"The tale of Princess Kaguya" is on a similar note.
I wonder how many more sad stories the Great Wall could tell…
the narrator's voice is so soothing ❤
Awesome as always thanks ❤
0:19 and they would get Mexico to pay for it
This emperor actually finished his wall
YAY I have been waiting! ❤
A Beautiful story about the power of love, thank you for sharing !
Oh boy always wanted to visit the great wall but now that i know thats its basically one very long tall walking path grave for the slaves im hesitant.
I thought this was about a few construction men who destroyed a fraction of the war to make way for their trucks
It's interesting that Filial Piety is an ideal virtue in Eastern Stories. Taking care of the elderly is a noble goal
But nowdays that ideology become toxic
This line:

LOVE YOUR CONTENT ❤❤❤
I really like the TedEd myth videos, its like having someone read you a bed time story. I really hope they make more ❤
What happened with his old mother?
And the moral of the story, this is why we can't have nice things or people.
Aghhhh this myth sounds like the ending of When The Sea Turned to Silver by Grace Lin!!
This video is top-notch! Thank you kindly! 🌈
And so was born the great river of sorrows....
what's the actual river on which this myth is based upon?
There are a hundred strories in India using the same thread.
Sathyavan-Savithri is one popular one
Kannaki is that is famous in south indian state Tamil Nadu.
There is one such story about a grand well in Rajasthan.
Best video thank you for information❤❤😊
I am from China. And I now live in America and still learn Chinese. The reason for this is that I don’t know Chinese that well. Also remember,更新饭菜!
I love the video 💛💛💛💛💛💛

rip Fan Xiliang’s mom i guess
Yay new vid!
So sad and beautiful 👏👏👏😭😭😭💜💜💜
I hear Genghis Khan only had to go through an unguarded gate that was strangely open and just rode in. That was how they got to invade, China.
Due to the strict control of iron in the Ming Dynasty, the iron POTS used by the Mongols for cooking were rare and precious treasures. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, 1,000 Ming cavalry could chase 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, because the Chinese had armor and the Mongols were as poor as beggars.
This should be a movie
Interesting story.
I never heard this version.
This is so tragic
Well that was devastating
Sounds like this story inspired that of the Two Lovers from Avatar.
It's the first time to hear this story. Haha.
I love TEDEDSooooOooooooOoooo much ❤❤❤❤
The wall is useless , there are tunnels and caves under the mountains.
Dennis for romantic the Great Wall well temple was built after her I guess the Great Wall is longer love can always stand even the great Wall of China is the monument of true love if the longest life
that's a really sad story
I hope she reunite with her love
Thanks
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon anyone?
That had a very German fairy tale ending. And then she died, the end, now go to sleep.
It's not the titans?
"Build the wall!" 🤔🤔🤔
does the emperor remind us of someone we know 5 years ago??
the current white hair emperor inspired by ancient emperor across the sea
King Fritz ahh walls
Those days people sustained their love by "breaking up" Walls... These days they don't need to try so hard. Now Read only those written inside apostrophe. You will find the reason. 🙂
So the Great Wall wasn’t just built with bricks, but also with broken hearts 💔
Yeah really🥹
Wowww
😭
The Spartan way.
So building border walls do work?
This ancient story is...
...sad. 😢
Does the Ted Talk?
There is a lot of children who are born from fruits and vegetables in china.
It is, great and unbelievable that Ted Ed completed to feature the Four Great Folktales of China 🤍🌌🦋💮. Looking forward for more myths.
How to not respect such a women, even legendary
I thought you where going to explain how it actually got broken... 😓
That's a strange spelling of Chen Yuanyuan.
What happened to Fan shi's mother
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan:
Meng Jiang, broke down this wall.
Under 1 hour???
story tellers are really good at making stuff up.

唉，有些人啊⋯⋯
应该是故意丑化秦朝所作的故事，毕竟有古秦律法为证。但传到今日就变成了经典爱情故事。文化也是挺神奇的。
SECRET TUNNELSSSSSS
Stealing into the fray?
Music is so high
I can see the symbolism behind the story, but I'm not going to say it
So she took "cry me a river" literally lol
Who visited the Great Wall of China👇
Cool
That's sad
If that wall didn’t exist, the Mongols would have attacked.
they did anyway
How do you think the Yuan Dynasty came to be?
Yes
WTF is this
Early gang
❤❤❤

😮
Why does the depiction of the emperor look more Arabic than Chinese? Is there subtle racism at play here?
I will be forever thankful to (Mrs. Janine) for her and dedication, she is just too good at trading, and she has proven to me her skills in trading. Thanks very much, Mrs Janine
