There are lots of funny stories about that guy😂 But I don't like him because of this story: when the soldiers of his greatest enemy were hunting him, he tried to run away in a cart driven by a loyal guard, while his daughter and son sit with him. He literally kicked both of his children out of the cart, so that the cart would run faster with less weight. Yet the guard kept bringing those kids back to the cart, so he kicked them out again, he repeated doing this three times before he finally gave up trying.

You need to understand that ancient Buddhist monks were not required to pay taxes and corvee, and because of their beliefs, many people would donate large amounts of property to the monks, which would be turned into land. As a result, Buddhist monks in ancient China generally owned land that did not need to pay taxes, and this situation would largely become the direct cause of the collapse of ancient dynasties. In order to rule, the Lord would generally loot the temple when the land acquisition was serious. This is actually a practical reason, on the other hand, many temples sometimes even set up their own armed forces, which can lead to some rebellions and wars

in average it takes 300ish yrs to start a new dynasty in China based on these dozens of dynasties. The mainstream medias are lying to audiences about china at age of 70. It has up and downs but not likely to have a new dynasty in near future, otherwise the U.S. won't be so anxious about holding the world No.1 place
Hello. First of all, I enjoyed your video. I'll leave my like, and subscribe your channel for show my support. I generally agree about your video, but I would like to raise an objection in the Great Wall description section. It is the distortion of China's history that the Great Wall of China depicts as if it existed beyond Liaohe. The Great Wall ends at a Shanhai Pass near Beijing. The Great Wall in the east of Liaohe is not the Great Wall of China. It is the Great Wall of Goguryeo. It is not even shaped like the Great Wall, but an organic defense facility made up of several scattered fortresses.
Goguryeo fought a fierce 70-year war against a formidable army of unified China, defending itself from terrifying attacks by the Sui and Tang empires several times with this organic defense system. The Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo beyond Liaohe with a million troops, but failed to capture any castle and lost 300,000 elite soldiers to General Eulji Mundeok on the Cheongcheon River. Lee Se-min, one of the best monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, could not break the castle of Ansi, one of Goguryeo's great walls, and ran away after losing his imposing expeditionary forces by General Yeon Gaesomun's army, and he fabricated his own history books for mental self-defense because he was ashamed that he had been defeated by Goguryeo's army, which he regarded as barbarians.

This is actually a practical reason, on the other hand, many temples sometimes even set up their own armed forces, which can lead to some rebellions and wars
actually, Vietman's independence was forced by french, vietman has been a part of china for thousand years, even till Qing dynasty, it was still it's tributary country.
@@user-xx8ve7gt8s I mean the Huichang Buddhist Persecutions and other Buddhist Persecution in China. also good for telling more facts about Buddhism in Ancient China
@@wkq6664 I mean the Huichang Buddhist Persecution and Vietnam was a Buddhist Country till 4th Chinese Domination of Vietnam
@@wkq6664Vietnamese has been independent since the Tang, tributary states just means we pay tribute in order to be able to trade with China. Siam was another tributary state, but no one consider Siam as part of China.
Not even a single mention of Sun Yat Sen
not even a single mention of three kingdoms just 1 second screen time
To be fair, he is insignificant compared to the conflict that happened in China the whole at that time. He is thought to be significant because he sided with the winner of the warlord war.
@@FourLionsClips That's actually pretty much how that part of history should be treated. It wasn't really much special than other part of that. After all, nothing changes, China broke again after a temporary unification.
@@Mustache_SamTrue, but mentioning that part a lil bit more would be helpful just to give a reference point. "Are you wondering where those RoTK stuffs came from? Here"

For a fun oversimplification of China's history, this is surprisingly accurate. As a native Chinese, I approve of this message.
As for a bill wurtz parody, I think you nailed 80% of his editing style, but his was more fast-paced and more singsongy.
It's a great video nonetheless. I do hope you find your own style someday. Best of luck!
This Video is Great and underrated, thanks for making this!
though not 100% accurate but still great enough to overmatch most of "history of China" videos on youtube. Respect for the part about Nanjing Massacre
lmao I can't stop laughing
excellent video that nutshelling the whole of our history text book
love from China
there are a few things that I think you should’ve mentioned (for example sun yat sen as the father of the nation) but you still managed to summarize thousands of years of history in 9 minutes and the quality is fantastic!
This is amazing, you earned my sub! I’d love to see a history of France or Germany I guess next.
hope you earn the mandate of the algorithm with this one
Drinks immortality potion = dies
Mercury
yeah that's the new game+ potion
that emperor even filled his tomb with mercury lol
And people after him drinks basically the same potion and die. They just kept doing that for hundreds of years.
If I'm an ancient man and see a cup of mercury I would think that's alien juice, better drink it.
We need more of these videos, if Bill wurtz won't make them yours are the next best thing
It restores Chinese history to a large extent. I am glad that you can look at history so objectively.(oﾟvﾟ)ノ
this is probably the highest effort bill wurtz parody i've ever seen. bravo sir, take my subscription
how do you have less then 1000 subscribers? This is high quality content
I can agree, I've seen many channels who have more then ten time more subscribers with ten time worse quality.
It’s good but it just a shameless copy of the guy who made
“The history of the earth”
@@ChernobogSigma its based on it, thats the whole point
@@ChernobogSigma Even the style of the video being a copy, it still takes work to study the history and compress it in 9 minutes.
dude keep up these style of videos your filling a void that i needed filled
I can't believe this came out this year, only 3 weeks ago. This is so perfect to how Bill Wurtz does his things it seemed so much older.
I rewatched bill wurtz's "history of japan" right after this and honestly, this one is clearer in how it conveys information and has more educational value. Cool video!
To be honest, if not because of your voice I would literally thought this is made by Bill Wurzt!!!
Really nicely done. If we can't have Bill, his style is still great. I love how you've integrated his canon to yours.
Nice work! Would love to see what kind of format you can come up with on it next vid
this is surprisingly underated content

Let me tell you a joke. The constitutional capital of the Republic of China is still Nanjing, not Taipei.
I’ll do you one better: the constitution of PRoC was revised by a primary school graduate

china was around when the last sumerian dynasty was ending. let that sink in.
damn you made this look easy
History moments are well selected, with fun and tears. Hope you are doing great!
The cut is perfect lmao
No way with this effort you don't have more subscribers or views
Remember me when you blow up please cause I know you will blow up
You will the greatest❤
Thank you so much for leaving 10 secs to mourn the tragic Nanjing massacre!
I would never ever forget that, cuz i come from Nanjing, and my grandma’s parents authentically went through that merciless period of time.
this is my new favorite video about china's history
(Almost) Every Chinese dynasties explained by one word:
1. Xia - Legendary
2. Shang - Oracle
3. Zhou - Feudal
4. Qin - Unification
5. Han - Golden
6. Six Dynasties - Division
7. Sui - Reunification
8. Tang - Prosperity
9. Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms - Fragmentation
10. Song - Innovation
11. Yuan - Mongol
12. Ming - Restoration
13. Qing - Manchu
14. Republic - Revolution
15. People’s Republic - Communist
(I add the ROC and PRC Just for fun)
Hey this is pretty good ngl
Jin dynasty?
90% of those words are variations of "Divided" and "Reunited"
Are you a magical horse named Fred?

because modern day is not history?
8:10 I love how you describe history in a hilariously short but concise and comprehensive manner. However, I really appreciate your 10 seconds of solemnity. As a Chinese whose grandparents lived through those times, I would've probably gone nuts if you had brushed off that event in a short sentence.
Your video is really objective and no biased:) Appreciation from Hong Kong.

Pretty accurate and is as fast paced as I expected it to be. Cause in chinese history you can get side tracked on alot of stuff especially the 3 kingdoms era and the awesome fighting that happened during that time.
NO

TL;DR: china had a revolution and had a revolution and is broke and is whole and is broke again and is whole again and is broke again and is whole again and is broke again and is whole again and revolted again and is broke again and is whole again and was taken over and revolted again and was taken over again and was bullied by literally everyone and revolted again and revolted again

中国的革命就是在不断的被背叛和出卖，每革命当快要成功，接近于乌托邦的时候，总会被现实砸个粉碎
An objective and accurate video summarizing Chinese history, very good, love comes from China ❤
Bro wake up in the morning and decided to become Bill Wurtz
That ending is the absolute perfect summary of China's current situation lmao
in average it takes 300ish yrs to start a new dynasty in China based on these dozens of dynasties. The mainstream medias are lying to audiences about china at age of 70. It has up and downs but not likely to have a new dynasty in near future, otherwise the U.S. won't be so anxious about holding the world No.1 place
*sounds like you lost the mandate of heaven*
great video! love from Hubei,China
This is the most objective Chinese history Ive ever seen, Ill look forward to a more detailed version. :)
thx for mention the brutality of japanese authorities on the 南京 massacre!

Hello.
First of all, I enjoyed your video. I'll leave my like, and subscribe your channel for show my support.
I generally agree about your video, but I would like to raise an objection in the Great Wall description section.
It is the distortion of China's history that the Great Wall of China depicts as if it existed beyond Liaohe.
The Great Wall ends at a Shanhai Pass near Beijing.
The Great Wall in the east of Liaohe is not the Great Wall of China. It is the Great Wall of Goguryeo.
It is not even shaped like the Great Wall, but an organic defense facility made up of several scattered fortresses.
Goguryeo fought a fierce 70-year war against a formidable army of unified China, defending itself from terrifying attacks by the Sui and Tang empires several times with this organic defense system.
The Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo beyond Liaohe with a million troops, but failed to capture any castle and lost 300,000 elite soldiers to General Eulji Mundeok on the Cheongcheon River.
Lee Se-min, one of the best monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, could not break the castle of Ansi, one of Goguryeo's great walls, and ran away after losing his imposing expeditionary forces by General Yeon Gaesomun's army, and he fabricated his own history books for mental self-defense because he was ashamed that he had been defeated by Goguryeo's army, which he regarded as barbarians.
