Three historical notes:
A) Football was not only played at court during the Tang Dynasty, but even the WOMEN of the palace were fond of the sport, and had organized, intramural teams. (There's a documentary on the Daming Palace, elsewhere on TH-cam, which will confirm this.)
B) The infamous sponge-on-a-stick from the Roman baths was dipped in vinegar, not seawater, and was NOT shared: the head was disposable, and removed/replaced after each use. (The used sponge went down the toilet . . . which actually flushed.)
C) Other, Western alternatives to TP included old rags (presumably thrown away after each use), or in some areas, mullein leaves (Scotland, for example).
Whew! Thank God. That makes the sponge on a stick sound at least a little better. But I'm still glad that today we have TP....
+Michael Wong: The vinegar also helped to kill germs, and improved sanitation.
I think many people don't understand how old ancient Chinese civilisation goes... lol
Western civilization is superior and far more richer in culture. Chinese civilization of course is one of the richest along with India and Egypt
[Insert frog in well saying here]
@@freckleheckler6311 hahahaha nice joke
@@ziyanglow289 if it weren’t so rich China wouldn’t be following westerners in every way and copying them. I’m sure you and I can argue who reigns supreme. What do you have?
@@Belbecat I don’t get it?
You have missed one important invention - the "Hot Air Balloon" described in the Period of the three Kingdom over 2,000 years ago known as "Hung Ming Dung". Like all inventions, Chinese accidentally discovered that the hot lantern will rise when hot air from the flame is trapped inside the lantern.
Hong ming deng
If you use hung and dung, you just make it too easy for American jokesters.
I believe Zhu Ge Liang is credited for that along with a dozen other inventions. Truly brilliant.
@@jacobvaughn5149 he invented the first semi-automatic crossbows i think
I recently bought a book titled "The Genius of China - 3000 Years of Science, Discovery and Invention" that's been really interesting. The scope and variety of inventions mentioned in different fields is mind blowing.
DarthJF It would be nice to know, by whom? The author of the book?
Robert K. G. Temple.
British author.
@@matthewmolina7970 you thought it was gonna be a Chinese author and was gonna say of course Chinese people would say good things about themselves 😂 but you failed
@@shawnq1134 He probably thinks other european authors aren't bias about European history. 😆
@@elinikolai7493 Chinese civilization, while very rich in culture is grossly overrated.
Chinese invented meritocracy instead of democracy, but a lot of people think Americans invented meritocracy.
Mongols*
Nij Jin Like Trump
@@joshuaflexin5698 Han*
@@joshuaflexin5698 Mongol got that from the Chinese actually.
Meritocracy doesn't exist in America
If there are any students who are abused by their exams, I am sorry about it because Chinese also invented examination Orz
Haohua Deng Yea,if they knew that the other countries should have ban exams by now.
You can't really say they invented examination. They didn't invent testing knowledge it's probably impossible to say. Maybe the earliest written examples might be Chinese but surely people all over the world verbally asked people they spoke to or taught what they had learned. Confirmation of understanding it's a form of simple communication. China was so divided there wasnt a unified written or verbal language.
Did the Chinese invent eating snakes,dogs,cats,centipede,scorpions,cocroches,and other gross insects?
@@kwameowusu-mensah7270 people were probably eating much worse than that long before China was established.
Kwame OWUSU-MENSAH Nope, the Aztecs in America did it aswell, and so did some of the Germanic and Celtic peoples.

I lived in China for ten years. It was an incredible, once in a lifetime, experience!! When all this craziness is over, I would love to return!!
Chinese definitely invented noodles. That's not debatable. Italians didn't have their pastas until Marco Polo's visit to China. But when it comes to ketchup, now that's debatable. There should be more info to back that up.
Marco Polos visit, it stated that he had something that was similar to lasagna... which they had in Italy, before his visit. You know, it's entirely possible (which archaeological evidence suggests), that pasta and noodles were invented around the same time, both growing in usage separately. One does not necessarily have to come before another.
+John Yang pasta has never had anything to do with noodles. Pasta was originated indipendently of the chinese noodles in northern africa and then brought to Italy when nobody ever heard about china and marco polo.
+John Yang Marco Polo never go to china.His story is not ture. noodle may be spread along the silk road
+SiggiNebel Boy you are getting more narrow minded as you continue to describe a historic event. Marco Polo was famous for traveling thru the Silk Road and served as a bridge of two different worlds. The topic is about what Chinese had invented. It's not about whether or not Chinese people are the best race in the world. So you really don't need to be that defensive. Nobody is out to deny white people's invention. Every race has great inventors that contribute to the things we enjoy today.
SiggiNebel fair enough.
I don't know about Hokkien, but in Cantonese 茄汁, literally "Tomato Sauce" is pronounce "ke zap".
汁- juice 酱- sauce
You forgot Chairs. The Chinese were already sitting on furniture chairs while other people were sitting on rocks or on the floor.
@čp Lots of bullshit in India. It's true.
China also invented court-martial system with judge/prosecutor/lawyer. The earliest banking system that would loan out credits. Then after gunpowder, came cannons, grenades, landmines, bombs. Also steel and metal fold-forming, the Tang Dynasty came up with the strongest and sharpest blades which the samurai sword is based off.
If a civilization has been around for more than 3 or 4 thousand years, and still alive and kicking to this day, that there alone is a testament to their ingenuity and perseverance! I really love Chinese history. The myths, the legends, the stories, the wars. Wars are not good but knowing about them is really intriguing! I love how Qin subdued the other 6 states during the warring states era! Monkey King Son Wukong is something else! Emperor Wu's magnificent way in handling his kingdom! Lot's more...
Great fun show. China is beyond incredible in every way imagine how far ahead China would be if government fostered life's imagination rather than killing it. You forgot Tea!! So many Chinese Philosophers tried and tried to find answers to societies most difficult challenges only to loose the battle to corruption and might. I would love a show on Tea.
+Pamela Batchelor As much as I agree with you that a video on it would be awesome,.... Tea comes from a plant. You can't invent a plant.
+crazy808ish Well but then to dry it and brew it etc.
Maybe they trying not to bring up tea to avoid all those opium war flashbacks.
You forgot the fine chinese cups and tablewaer. Chinoiserie they say here. Chinese teasets had a light weight and hold against light you can see the print trough. French and germans did had a lot of study before they could do it themself. Funny when Mike did it's poses for pics😉
Inventing the weapons and not trying to take over the whole world but unfortunately being taken advantage of by the own inventions. I would argue that the Chinese were the people with the good mindset in that regard.
Maybe a few others worth mentioning are: examination, golf, chess, umbrella, silk, steaming cooking method for Chinese-invented everyday things.
Chess was not invented in China. But in India.
Golf wasn’t invented in China either

the toothbrush was available in 1498, and the British were still using birch twigs and chalk in the mid 1800's .. Sheesh !
Gay/BL Source good LORD
You know you have an inferiority complex when you have to compare everything to Europeans
Spencer Austin-Martin sounds like something someone with a superiority complex would say....
And your point about us Brits still using birch twigs and chalk in the mid 1800's is exactly what? Some of us still do 😁, and we've still got better teeth than Americans, no matter what Family Guy tells you!
I know why Asia dont get so much credit
its because it wouldnt fit in any book
Lol
Lol
Columbus "discovered" America and the hundreds of thousands of Asians (aka Native Americans) already living there. The only thing Columbus discovered was that he was hopelessly lost. Please correct the American text books.
Tc Linn My state taught the actual facts on that and of course my family taught it to me before I even went to school. You still don't hear the full truth about how many Native Americans Columbus killed. It's sad at how little is said to this day.
Natives aren’t Asian, but ok
@@moswaggy I think @Tc Linn is talking about Mongoloids, which are a type of human, but Native Americans had different genes by then.
@@moswaggy
They are. You can check it out in the National Geographic. Their DNA and settlement in the Americas have been traced back about ten thousands ago. Their ancestors traveled to the America continents from Asia.
In Italy at McDonald's you have to pay for the sauces too... I always found that stupid
Same in Germany. You have to pay for ketchup and mayonnaise too. It's so annoying.
I'm used to get catchup and mustard for free. It's sad that they charge for BBQ and Ranch sauces though.
Sauces should be free everywhere.
Who needs sauce or mayo. Just extra calories and sugar which you need like a hole in your wallet as is the case in Australia. Let the food have taste without a masking agent.
PS people used to also use sticks from a specific tree in order to brush their teeth. You can still find it today in some stores. It's called a "siwak", or "miswak".
phew I don't have to feel bad about using forks in Chinese restaurants ;)
Just learn how to use chopsticks. When one don't learn new skills, ones brain degrade faster. Ones who can't use chopsticks will have tremor in their hands more likely and earlier. I don't eat eastern food all that often, but this skill is very usefull, and not only with food. This applies to eastern people too. You can benefit from learning how to use fork.
Nope, but soon you will know the restaurants who serves noodles with chopstick taste better.
U missed most important Abacus
It's not an everyday thing, Like the others
Armaan Sharma my dear the abacus was the first ever calculator.... calculators are considered everyday objects to students.
Actually the oldest abacus was discovered in Mesopotamian.
Kabita, That is the Father of Computer !
Here I thought Abacus originated from Greece. Lol.
About chopsticks...This is an actual experience. Loool kinda. My mom forgot to pack a fork for my dad for lunch and he literally broke off two pieces of twigs and used them as chopsticks.
I enjoy watching your videos only because you keep things clean and use the correct language and no curse words. Thank you.
Dumb reason. I hate when people sanitize their speech just because they feel they have to not offend anyone.
Thank you China for loo roll :) where would we be without it! I shudder at the thought of the sponge on a stick! Also if you like fish n chips with free ketchup come to England! condiments are always free :)
There was also a water powered clock. Built by Su Sung, around 1050 CE. Though there was only one built; the clock sits use an escapement mechanisms. That was the first use of such device.
Su Sung's clock also chimed the hours and was also a calendar as well.
Science and invention in ancient China---- by Joseph Needham
Ok people the video is called "...Things You DIDN'T Know Were Chinese Inventions..." So things like silk, gunpowder, abacus were excluded for OBVIOUS reasons! Anyway... Interesting you briefly mention the Xia dynasty because if you study Chinese history in the West, they don't believe the Xia dynasty is real, they don't believe Chinese civilization can start that early. Also, about a year ago I went to a museum where they had a special exhibit called The History of Booze, they did not give credit to the Chinese for being the first to discover alcohol, instead they said it was a culture in the Middle East.
Guys, I really love your videos. I know that everything I am learning through you guys I would have probably not done so anywhere, or from anybody else. I like your format, and the way you guys sound when speaking. You are the sole reason why now I am contemplating traveling to Asia, and maybe get my feet wet in your language; I like to hear you speaking in mandarin; it sounds melodious, really nice. Thank you for the time and effort you take to give us these great videos. Take Care.
Thanks for the video. Lemme add this : in the part of the world where I came from, before brushes, we were using chewing sticks. Still used it while growing up. There are specific species of plants whose toughened or sometimes softer twigs we're cut into short pieces of about 15cm-18cm long on the average and used to brush the teeth. One end of twig is chewed for about 2mins to form a bunch of soft, moist triangle shaped bristles which are then used to brush the teeth, tongue etc-pretty much every part of the mouth brushed today. BTW-my part of the world is the Yorùbá speaking South-Western part of Nigeria in West Africa. Cheers.
That's not an invention because you didn't develop it, but it remained in a crude form. 🤣🤣😂😂😂
This is the content I enjoyed most from OTGW :)
Keep it up Chen boys!
There is also a big debate about who really invented golf first, the Asians or the Scottish? Just a thought for your next video on this subject. You guys are great. I love watching your show. I get to learn more about historical and modern cultural differences. Keep it up!
God bless Asian people. May the Asian Tigers rise again!
Love the video!!! You guys always have interesting and informational content! Btw Canadians call it soccer too.
The word ketchup is from cantonese.Tomato is "Fan" "Ke". And "chup" is juice. So Its "Ketchup"
+Sierra 真的! 蕃茄 + 汁 = 茄汁 = KeJap
+Funnyguyfun7 That's the way indonesians spell the original sauce, so yummy with satay and Longtong rice.
+Funnyguyfun7 Can confirm, does makes sense in Cantonese
Can't believe I only realized this now O_O
Data Integration Thought Entity Humanoid Interface
As a cantonese, I never realized that either until one day I randomly saw an article about "fun facts". It totally blew my mind when I realize how much it made sense. XD
Funnyguyfun7 Like this whole time, my entire life I didn't realize the similarity when i say keh-zup and ketchup... Dang it they stole our keh-zup and are selling us ketchup x_x
I guess they probably also stole barbecue and mustard sauce from us XD
I got so much respect for the Chinese 😎. They make every other society or people look like peasants.
Well, if we ignore Europeans.
@Antonio Gonzaga Greeks invented mathematics. The Indians invented so called "Arabic" numerals.
The Greeks and Romans were/are both European culturally and genetically. They worshiped the same Indo-European gods, spoke the same Indo-European languages, and were descended from the same 3 primary genetic groups of Western Hunter gatherers, Anatolian farmers, and Yamanya invaders as the rest of Europe.
An Englishman is more closely related to a Greek than a Greek is to a Turk (although it's pretty close, they are at the extreme ends of the continent and Greeks and Turks are right next to one another).
@Antonio Gonzaga I'm talking about Romans from Rome. A "British" subject from the British Raj is no more British as a "Roman" from Roman Egypt is Roman.
The Romans spoke Latin, an Indo-European language, and were descended from the same people as the Germanics, Slavs, Celts, Anatolians (pre-Turks), and Greeks were.
@Antonio Gonzaga Middle Eastern civilisation is a very different thing from Eastern civilisation (as in the Chinese) and they formed seperately. But yes, if you want you can consider Western Civilisation to be a subset or descendent of a broader West Eurasian civilisation starting in Mesopotamia.
@Antonio Gonzaga "I thought Christianity came from Palestine?"
I never mentioned Christianity. I'm talking about the pre-Christian pagan beliefs held across Europe, that had their origins in the same Proto-Indo-European mythos.
I believe chinese invented umbrella, padlock, matches, stamp seal, newspaper, advertisement board, icecream, noodles, compass, needle and thread.
Keep up the good work! Love these videos.
"Invention" usually infers something not readily available to one until first brought into existence by another. I think a better choice of words in regarding things like alcohol is, earliest recorded use. I imagine things like alcohol were created in many places without those people knowing about each other.
yeah but china came up with it first
not believing the fork one
as we all know, chopsticks are far superior to western utensils
so even if europeans invented the fork
chinese invented chopsticks, and chopsticks are FAR superior then forks
The Chinese before thought that cutting food was very low-level, and later used chopsticks.
@Baby Lon Actualy chopsticks are only allowed for the upper classes during the ancient time in China. I remember one of the emperor even took the credict for giving people the power of using chopsticks. XD
China invented exams lol....

You didn't mention: The Wheel. I was under the understanding that The Chinese invented the wheel. That would have been an important one to mention. 😉
Wheels are more discovered than invented. Every culture does it at a different time and some still don't use them.
The wheel was never even invented in China.
@@freckleheckler6311 then who did the Sumerians?
Matt Bryan most likely. But it seems it’s usage of transportation began in Eastern Europe in the Eurasian steppe. Along with chariots as well were invented by the aryans in the same region who traversed the whole continent spreading with them the taming and domestication of the horse, language, and religion.
This makes me wish I was Chinese

they also invented a country called "japan"

No, what he said is not nonsense. Japan's name is 日本(the land of Sunrise), which wasn't allowed to use until Japan get approval from Empress Wu Ze Tian in Tang Dynasty (Zhou Dynasty precisely).
@@hawklee1983 yes, 日出之国japan mean the nation of where the sun come out.
Why not include tea, silk and pottery? All these changed the world.
I heard some ancient Chinese made it to America before Columbus.
they did, and its funny because the chinese guys waterboat was A LOT bigger than columbus's entire ship
he is 永和
+Simo Hyvarinen is Cheng Ho (鄭和）
Even the Vikings made it to America before Columbus. Although not before Asians.
zheng he almost made it to the americas 200 years earlier than columbus but the new emperor made china isolated for many years and cancelled his 2nd voyage. we would all be typing chinese characters if he did :D
10:05 Did he say 'Urine Dynasty'?
it was Yuan dynasty
The Tang dynasty opened China to other foreigners that is why many foreigners copy Chinese inventions. Tang dynasty trained foreign scholars and let foreigners to reside in China in order for them to be trained by famous chinese scholars. The mistake of the Tang dynasty led China to different invasion by foreign forces.
love you guys!!
Love you guys! Keep up the great work!
I thought the Swiss invented banking and moneyed not China, isn't that correct? China invented many other wonderful things.
China invented many things a lot of pasta, spaghetti (models), raviolis (dumplings) ,and so forth from Italy have their origins from China. From what I know also that early versions of Ice Cream came from China.
+Patrick Wilkerson You know that's the problem, the belief that once something is invented it cannot be invented elsewhere. Its perfectly plausible that an person can invent something and then an person in another country and time can invent at least something similiar. There's no immortal dude that's been walking the world for centuries just to slap people around and tell them another dude invented the thing he invented.
+polychronio You explained it wrong. Pasta and Noodles are similar things that both got separate origins. Noodles where invented in China at least before 4000 years ago, they where not like modern noodles, they where made from a plant call Pytholithis, Wheat was present in China but not cultivated until much later.
Meanwhile give or take a 1000 years later in Greece our ancestors (Greeks not just europeans do not bundle us together in to some uncultured blob) used sheets of pasta made from wheat to preserve food eating them after putting them in the oven. The Etruskans and other Greek colonies also had these, So Romans later got it too calling it Lasanum. This was mostly cheese, cream and veggies, Tomato sauce was of course not seen till the Spanish came back with tomatoes after which modern day Lasagna was perfected in Napels. The modern day forms of pasta (which are mostly made by making sheets) didn't pop-up till around the 1000's But well before Marco Polo was born.
Then again there's still no prove he ever existed to begin with.
+KajiRider1997
That's the point of contention: origins, and therefore patent rights, trademarks, and claims to royalties.
Something the West loves to claim about China's outright, _criminality_ and theft of IP. But when everyone else does it, and China did it first - now it doesn't matter, right? Everyone can just create things independently of each other, right? The West complains about lost revenue?! The Chinese alone are probably owed in neighborhood of QUADRILLIONS in U.S. dollars for their IPs unpaid for all these centuries and Millenias!
The sheer audacity and hypocrisy!
polychronio
Easy on the Germanic Barbarian things there dude, I'm sicilian, I am a mix of most of west europe. Including greece and a couple of those germanic and celtic countries :P
Indeed, Assyria and Mesopotamia where first.
Romans had it from the Greeks from the very start and China started in the Qin dynasty
Europe really do be getting all the credit though, China needs more credit as the original creators...
No they do not. Because they are not credited as the architects of some of these inventions. These are over-exaggerations and falsehoods.
Egyptian, Indian, Persian, Chinese and Arab inventions are all never given enough credit because we all romanticise about how great Greek and Romans (Europeans) were...
The amount of nonsense in that analysis. Hahaha you know absolutely nothing of the educational and social life. It is common knowledge to praise the other civilizations..
I'm always happy when you guys upload new videos! Keep up the great work!

Thanks China, for inventing gunpowder. We wouldn't have been able to get a decent war off the ground without it! Thanks for inventing alcohol too, on behalf of everyone who ever went to an AA meeting or was affected by alcoholism.
I do trust black people......but your face is so dishonest.
Bryan Nguyen I say the truth.
Well, at least they created a lot of advanced stuff. Sadly we Sub Saharan Africans didn't until recently.
My people gave your people peanut butter, courtesy of ma brotha, Mr. George Washington Carter!
Just FYI, gunpowder was also use to create tunnel and open roads (this is how the Chinese helped the Americans build the Californian Railway). Alcohol was use as a form of medical treatment as it helps warm blood flow. Alcohol is also used as a spice in dishes. So please don't blame all the crazy wars started by others and all the drunkards on the Chinese. Unlike the West who purposely brought and sold drugs to China, we didn't encourage anyone. No hate man, but can't you notice all the other super beneficial aspect than nitpicking? I mean just imagine your life without paper money or toilet paper. If your fine with that, I'm meanwhile would rather not have peanut butter.
Never would thought that china invented football.
They did NOT. Creating a ball game does not equate to football. Football was invented in the west.
Now I think about it , XD everything is stolen from China , and also made in China 😉
Not everything just the everyday things
Mike, your photo poses while Dan was babbling away was hilarious!
Yellows>>>>>>Whites when it comes to the best inventions
Chinese used to be called Whites
China: We don't get enough credit!
Korea: Tell me about it.
lol, because Korea claims that some Chinese inventions are theirs, like accupuncture.
you missed indoor plumbing. it was originally made from salt preserved bamboo pipes
10 Everyday Things You Didn’t Know Were Chinese Inventions, good job! :) :)
I think alcohol is invented independently by every culture.
Tho in Lithuania you also have to pay for ketchup and all the sauces. And for plastic bags in the markets.
congrats. its time americans and european may have a different light to understand better history far away from the europeocentric vision. You must continue with your videos.
I'm Chinese. (cantonese) I think you guys are super nationalistic. This might be offensive to other countries. My history teacher once said: "the 3 things you never talk about is religion, money, and politics." Well this might be ancient politics. lol.
It's too hard to pick up food with a fork??? The Chinese forks must have had an extremely poor design considering a five year old European had easily use one.
thats because they didnt have chopsticks
+Jocelyn Sun (Rin Seijuro) absolutely
I can pick up a grain of rice using chopsticks, try stabbing it with fork X'D
most important is the horse stirrup. It's incredibly important for stability on a horse especially when fighting. It's the difference between having your balance and footing vs have free floating feet. The invention of the stirrup is credited for Knights being able to rule in European for hundreds of years.
Teddy Roosevelt invented the american condiment catsup which would be later also known as ketchup. It was a tomato and onion paste with sugar. Chinese also invented eyeglasses
Ketchup literally means tomato sauce in Cantonese.
I feel like this was a bit of a repetition from a video you did on OTGW, but there were new elements in it so I'm happy =)
I love playing Dou Dizhu (斗地主) with my friends :D (a chinese card game)
I immediately thought of Fatal Frame 2 when the camera came up.
Alcohol seems like one of those things that was probably invented many times independently in several places. The Chinese may have been the earliest to get there, but I don't think it's fair to say that they're entirely responsible.
Great video a ray of sunshine love your videos
All the ancient Chinese card games depicted the characters in The Water Margin epic or 水滸傳 shui hu zhuan.
+Jeffrey Ang It's also commonly known as Outlaws of the Marsh.
Whahahaha I almost died laughing at the end.... I couldn't help myself thinking about poopcorn when the corn came up. The actual popcorn must have been invented when someone had too much hot oil. X]
i love this channel's old video's with dan and mike
I got that Sean John sweater. Hope it looks as good on me next winter!
Until the credit card. Hahaha. That flipped me up for some reason.
Is Mike wearing a Canadian Whistler shirt? Yah! Go Canada and BC!
Hey Guys, just as a FYI 'Ketchup' is a direct loan word of Cantonese 'Gaizi', or in Mandarin, 'Qiezhi' 茄汁, Tomato sauce.
What if you used water to wash instead of paper?
my teacher had a link for this on google classroom thanks to quarantine. actually entertaining
about ketchup, it was actually 1st found at the beginning if the Han dynasty in today's Fujian province. And it was made of Lemon then, that is why ancient Chines could sail so long without getting septicemia problem. BTW, Lemon sounds alike all over the world, it is because all the lemon division fruits（Citrus） are origin in southwest China, the city of Anyue Sichuan to be specific, is the origin of lemon. Lemon was brought to the world by the ancient "sail people", their progeny are living in southeast Asia today.
3:58 - WOOHOO SHAOLIN SOCCER. Awesome / Hilarious movie!!!
You need to noted about the Chopstick, too. Eating with chopstick was away to hygenized self and others from food contamination. Without chopstick invented as tool for eating, Chinese might still use their hands to eat as others , do up to these modern day.
Really liked this video ^^ Btw can you tell me the name of the song you used here? It's so relaxing..
Re: fork and hotpot, fondue forks are the sort of thing you're thinking about: barbed metal prongs and wooden handles
