@@Brandonhayhew I think its intentional. The Manchus really dont want their regime to last as short as the Yuan so they adopted the opposite of the Mongols' policies.
weird discourse, the open policy is basically attributed to the enormous territory of the Mongolian Empire and the weakness of surrounding states. They saw no threat from the sea. However it was that loose policy that generated the devastation of Mongol interiorly rather than exteriorly.

Han Fei Zi (韓非) once stated: "If a ruler can get rid of private crookedness and promote the public law, his people will become secure, and his state will become well ordered"
@@silvercorvidsmarketing Han Fei Zi invented legalism. Confucius and his teacher Lao Zi(or Lao Tzu, the Zi or Tzu is the same as cius in the word Confucius) believes humans are naturally born with kindness, but Han Fei Zi believes human are naturally born with evil within, law must be enforced to keep the order of the society. Because of this, Lao Zi's believers are Taoist who religiously believes any movement in the world should flow naturally, smoothly and effortlessly, people don't need to struggle to work hard for unnatural project like building the Great Wall. This leads to anarchism, they believe just like how cowboy isn't forcing but guiding the herd of cattles, the cowboy isn't forcing the cows to do something, the cows move freely, the cowboy just vaguely guide them. So these people thinks the lord(king/emperor) should also act like the cowboy, only acting as a shepherd to vaguely guide people, leaving most of freedoms to the people so they choose what they want to do by them selves freely. They are usually anarchists. Confucianism works with traditional culture and morality to rule people with moral. It's more rules compared to Taoism. But Legalism is totalitarian police state, every follow the extremely strict and cruel laws.
In reality it's Mongolian. Chiba was occupied by the Mongols. Yuan dynasty was just one of four Khanates of the Mongolian empire. ..and the Chinese absolutely can not claim Tibet bcos the Mongolians invaded Tibet and in reality they didn't even fully control Tibet in true sense ..

Thank you very much for your content. As a Mongolian, it's very accurate and insightful. Hope many Chinese will watch it and stop distorting history, claiming Khubilai khaan and Yuan's dynasty are Chinese.
Accordingly to later Chinese Ming-dynasty record, the name Yuan 元 was first used in 1260, by Kublai Khan, took from famous Chinese book 易經 “大哉乾元” 。It is a tradition almost all 24 Chinese dynasties used, for the last two thousand years, from the same Ancient book of 易經 (I Ching). It is an established procedure to claim the legitimacy as new ruler of China, so to speak.
Thanks for elaborating. Im watching Marco Polo on netflix and i was confused when he said "yuan dynasty" and when Kublai says he is the great Kahn of Kahns and i am your Kahn
Also, yuan dynasty compiled the "history-record book" for the dynasty before it(song dynasty). The act is also a tradition of Chinese dynasties. And their systems, habits and customs on many aspects are based on Chinese dynasties.
@@jenmb2679 With respect to the difference between Mongol Empire and yuan dynasty, "History of the World: Every Year" on TH-cam is a nice video to illustrate it. We can say "they are totally different because the former had died when the latter established" but can also say "the latter was a subset of the former". Generally speaking Mongol Empire split into pieces and one of them were yuan dynasty. So emperors of yuan dynasty are leaders of China and also leaders of Mongol Empire(so called great Kahn, meaning the leader of Kahns in Mongol) nominally because other pieces owned considerable autonomy .
I hope you are able to do Videos on the Han, Tang, and Ming Dynasty Emperors someday in the future! Your Work is most Enjoyable and Informative to watch!

Hi from Mongolia! Great video. So impressive to see my ancestors stories. I recently did 23andMe and I had 0.01% Chinese, 6.6% Central Asia and Turkic traces and this makes so much sense
As a Mongolian, i don't like that Khubilai abandoned the development of Mongolia and lived permanently in China. I would say he was opportunistic because China had infrastructure and manpower as well as nice taxing.

One of my ancestors in my D’Auria-Doria Family Tree in Italy was: Demenco Doria visiting the first Yuan Emperor Kubali Khan in the Yuan Dynasty in China. The first Yuan Emperor Kubali Khan appointed Demenco Doria as the ambassador to Europe. Since January 1977 at Gallaudet University in my junior year, I still have done my research project on my D’Auria-Doria Family Tree in my longer Italian ancestral lineage in my family genealogical history in a fact. Very interested about Yuan Dynasty in China under the first Yuan Emperor Kubali Khan in Far East History course.
absolutely love your videos! I was first here when there were fewer than 7000 subscribers, so happy that you are gradually getting the attention you deserve! Thank you for your work and keep it up!
Just a few clarifications on the Mongol pronunciations: The name "Mongke" is pronounced more like "Munk" and "Ariq Boke" like "Areeq Bohe" in the Mongolian language. Your pronunciation of Khublai was pretty close. When Mongolian people say the name, they pronounce it like, "Hu Bu Lay". The ones you used here are closer to the Chinese pronunciation of Mongke and Ariq Boke, as well as occasionally the western pronunciation of Khublai, which is understandable to make it easier for people to follow; not putting a knock against you or anything like that. Overall though, another solid video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your comment! This was definitely a first for me, cause I never studied Mongolian contrarily to Chinese. I'll try to improve for the upcoming vids :)
@@History_of_China No problem, man. It's pretty normal for most people to be unfamiliar with the Mongolian pronunciation unless they've been to Mongolia or know someone who is ethnically Mongolian and speaks the language. It was the same for me before, until I visited Mongolia and learned it from a native Mongolian friend who lives and works there. On a side note: Mongolian is extremely difficult to speak fluently and correctly pronounce a lot of the words unless you're a native speaker of the language.
Its interesting how the Southern and Northern divide of China started from here, the borders of the Late Song follow almost the same divide as all the Southern Dialects
Unfortunately, nothing was said about the long war with the descendant of Kaan Ogedei - Haidu Khan. But he had his own large khanate, which occupied half of modern Mongolia, East Turkestan and most of the former Chagatai ulus of the Mongol Empire (now the territory of the Central Asian republics of the former USSR). Khaidu did not recognize Khubilai as a kaan and claimed the throne in Karakorum until 1303. The war with him was very difficult for Yuan and, in fact, a losing one during Kublai's life.
no. the chinese territory today is due to the Qing dynasty. after the yuan fell, china only controlled the chinese heartlands and bits of manchuria(they did the control of whole thing out to siberia but only for a small amount of time). Ming china lost control of Xinjiang, tibet and mongolia(or rather never conquer it in the first place). Qing china, assimilated Mongolia and reconquered tibet and xinjiang, they also retook taiwan. the republic of china would then lose control of outer mongolia but kept control of xinjiang. tibet would be de facto independent but never actually declare independence. the PRC would then win the civil war and take over all the former RoC areas except taiwan. and of course they also retook de facto control of tibet.
@mxn1948 Oh really. I advise you to read this book by John Man: The Mongol Empire - Genghis Khan, his heirs and the founding of modern China, which is one of the historical sources where he tells that thanks to Mongolian ruler Khubilai khaan, China became as big as today.
About 色目人 se-mu-ren as "people with multi-colored eyes": it is a common mistake. The fact is that in this combination of hieroglyphs they are not translated literally (色目 - "multi-colored eyes"), but are translated according to similar combinations of Chinese terms of the 12-14 centuries. And then these signs (色目) conveyed the meaning of "all sorts, all kinds, others." Therefore, this category of Yuan people meant "all kinds, other (than the Mongols), people".
You should have mentioned that the Mongols gave lots of rights and advancement to every Chinese group that were an underclasses prior to Yuan rule, like the Dali, Koreans, and the Dai.
As a Chinese, I must say that your statement is wrong. Before the Yuan Dynasty, it is difficult to say that Dali, the Dai people are the nation of China. The Korean nation has even maintained its independent status to this day. So they can't say that the past is inferior. Under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, all ethnic groups were not equal. The Yuan Dynasty discriminated against the Han nationality, the majority ethnic group in China, and the Mongolian nationality held a high position, and appointed other ethnic groups from Central Asia (Semu 色目人) to oppress the Han nationality.
@@黎央-d1e before Yuan, the Han Chinese oppressed everyone who wasn't Chinese, during the Yuan only disloyal Han Chinese from the Southern Song were oppressed
The Yuan's invasions of Vietnam took place in 1283-1285 (second) and 1287-88 (third). Kublai appointed the defected Prince Trần Ích Tắc as the puppet king of Dai Viet because of the reigning Trần Nhân Tông refused to pay tribute.
@@carljohnson8470 In 1224 the 8th Ly king Hue Tong abdicated and became a monk. His 8 year-old daughter Ly Chieu Hoang became the queen of Dai Viet. In 1226 the Trần family managed to get Trần Cảnh married with the Queen, and thus he became the king. The Lý family's 210 year-rules over Dai Viet were over. People of this clan feared of being persecuted, many changed their surname to Nguyễn. The last son of 7th Ly king Cao Tông, prince Lý long Tường, fled to Korea and became the ancestor of the Hwan Sae Lee clan in Korea. However that account came from Korean sources. Previously, according to Korean accounts, another Vietnamese prince arrived in Korea in 1128 after wandered northern China. Like neighboring Southeast Asian kingdoms, the Viet kingdom under Ly dynasty erected stone inscriptions by kings, royals, and Buddhist monks. No mention about the two princes in these inscriptions.
@@emgailinhka6979 i don't understand vietnamese but i saw a cartoon about ly dynasty most of the ly king are talented they are very kind especially during ly thai tong reign
@ᜋᜌ᜔ᜉᜄ᜔ᜀᜐ the vassalized Dali kingdom in Yunnan did provide troops to the Yuan army during three Yuan invasions of Dai Viet and Campa 1258, 1283-1285, 1288. Yunnan was a transition zone between Southeast Asian, China, Tibet, India. The biggest consequences of the Yuan invasions of Indochinese kingdoms (Burma, Campa, Dai Viet) were Yuan military weakened, disintegration of Burma, large-scale Tai migration, destruction and decline of both Campa and Dai Viet, gunpowder firearm technology transmission to Southeast Asia.
When the newly formed mongol nation sent diplomats to the song dynasty, they said something like "our empire is like the ocean, yours is but a handful of sand, how can we ever fear you?..."...well, they should have
The Mongol Yuan invaded "Vietnam" mean they invaded Dai Viet and Champa. Dai Viet was not Vietnam. Vietnam as a name didn't appear until 1804. Champa was not Vietnamese. But historically we can call Dai Viet and Campa "medieval kingdoms of Vietnam". Vietnam is a modern multiethnic country that the Vietnamese Kinh don't present all.
Oh my god it's here boys, strap yourselves in it's go time! Interesting tidbit - I was in Beijing and the old ruined walls of Dadu are still visible to this day, and at the imperial examination school there are standing stones with academic graduates from the Yuan Period - the imperial examination system continued after Kublai's death (they have specific areas separating Academic graduates from the Ming and Yuan period)
Great question! I think the lives of many emperors would be fascinating, perticularly for the greatest dynasties. In the Qing dynasty, Xianfeng would be pretty interesting as a kind of helpless figure yet supreme ruler. Qianlong and Kangxi also obviously come to mind for their achievements. In the Ming dynasty, the Tianqi emperor would be interesting to cover as well as a seemingly illiterate emperor who preferred carpentry to ruling. Yongle would be a glorious story. For the Tang, Gaozu and Taizong would both be interesting
@@faroqe_omar Most likely Zhao Kuangyin (Song Taizu), since he basically unified fragmented China, founded the dynasty, and on the societal side, founded many academies that bore great fruits. Zhao Gou (Song Gaozong)'s life is pretty interesting too. Although he was a terrible emperor for the dynasty, his personnal life is extremely eventful
The yuans or Mongols were great invaders. However, what they were good at is also what led to their downfall. They failed at managing what they concurred.
Korea was not just vassal state. When Kublai Khan became king, it was a marriage alliance and Goryeo was a son-in-law nation. And even before the Mongol Empire, Korea was already a member of Mongolia from origin. Hankook韓國(Korea) literally means 'Khan State'. In Korea, Han is a dialect changed from Khan. We used to call our kings as Khan. Goryeo opposed the Mongols over who was the Big Brother. However, after the marriage alliance, Korean culture became popular(called Goryeoyang) in the Yuan Dynasty. This is the first Korean wave.
The history of the Korean Peninsula is very simple. The Chinese were the first to establish a country on the Korean Peninsula. The earliest country was called Qizi Korea（萁子朝鲜）, which was established by the Chinese. Later, there was Weishi Korea（卫氏朝鲜）, which was also established by the Chinese. It brought a large number of Chinese men, mated with local indigenous women for hundreds of years, and established the earliest residents of the Korean Peninsula. Later, the Chinese Han Dynasty eliminated these regimes, and established four Han counties in the northern part of the peninsula, Lelang County, Xuandu County, Zhenfan County, Lintun County, etc.,乐浪郡、玄菟郡、真番郡、临屯郡 and dispatched a large number of Chinese officials to rule. Later, the Han Dynasty declined, until later China The Goguryeo established by the ethnic minorities continued to rule the northern part of the peninsula. After the fall of Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, it directly ruled the northern part of the peninsula and helped the three small countries in the southern part of the peninsula: Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan 马韩、辰韩、弁韩(that is, the predecessor of South Korea today, and even South Korea's name is derived from these three small countries) to resist the invasion of Japan (Japan), that is, the Battle of Baijiangkou, through this war, the Korean ancestors were prevented from being colonized by the Japanese. Until later, the rulers of the Wang Clan Goryeo and Li Clan Korea on the Korean Peninsula were descendants of the Chinese. These two kingdoms were all vassals of the Central Dynasty of China. Their kings could only be called Kings with the consent of the Central Dynasty. Tributes must be paid, and Chinese characters have been used all the time. This system has been maintained until the Qing-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and Korea was colonized by Japan! This is what Korea calls the Japanese era! ! The history of the East is thousands of years. The Korean peninsula is a vassal of the Central Dynasty of China, and the history of hundreds of years is directly ruled by the Central Dynasty. Therefore, the Koreans are slaves for thousands of years, and the genetic makeup of North Koreans and South Koreans is also It is quite different, the paternal line of North Korea is more Chinese, while the paternal line of South Korea is more Malay, or Jomon, Yayoi, closer to Japan. Koreans (some but not all Koreans) will only tamper with history, but unfortunately Chinese history books clearly record their history, but these shameless peoples (not all Koreans) are like chicken blood. It's ridiculous to indulge yourself in the lies that you make up, these Koreans who make up history are not worthy of respect, they are just extremely inferior because their history really makes them inferior. These shameless South Koreans are jumping up and down the Internet, spreading rumors to slander China, these people are really shameless! ! 朝鲜半岛的历史很简单， 最早在朝鲜半岛建立国家的就是中国人， 最早的国家叫做萁子朝鲜， 是中国人建立的， 后来又有卫氏朝鲜， 也是中国人建立的， 这两个政权都带去了大量的中国男人， 将近一千年的时间和当地土著女性交配， 奠定了最早的朝鲜半岛居民。 后来中国汉朝消灭这些政权，并在半岛北部设立汉四郡，乐浪郡、玄菟郡、真番郡、临屯郡等， 并派驻大量中国官员进行统治， 后来汉朝衰落， 直到后来中国的少数民族建立的高句丽，继续统治半岛北部， 唐朝灭亡高句丽之后，直接统治半岛北部， 并帮助半岛南部的三个小国马韩、辰韩、弁韩（也就是现在韩国的前身， 甚至韩国的名字就是源自这三个小国） 抵抗倭国（日本国）的入侵，也就是白江口之战， 通过这次战争，避免了韩国祖先被日本人的殖民（明朝万历年间中央帝国有一次的帮助朝鲜抵抗日本的进攻，没有中央帝国的支持， 韩国人早已多次沦为日本的奴隶）。直到后来朝鲜半岛的王氏高丽， 李氏朝鲜， 统治者都是中国人的后裔， 这两个王国都是中国中央王朝的附庸， 他们的王，只有经过中央王朝的同意，才能称王， 每年必须朝贡，并且进贡大量韩国女人，并且一直使用中国汉字， 这个体系一直维持到清日战争，清朝战败， 韩国被日本殖民！也就是韩国所称的倭政时代！！ 东方历史几千年， 朝鲜半岛都是中国中央王朝的附庸，并且几百年的历史是由中央王朝直接统治，并且朝鲜人和韩国人的基因组成也大不相同， 朝鲜国更多的父系是中国人， 而韩国的父系更多的是马来人，或者绳纹，弥生人，更加接近日本。 韩国人（一部分不是全部韩国人）只会篡改历史， 可惜中国的史书，把他们的历史记载的清清楚楚，有些韩国人却像打了鸡血一样的沉迷在自己编造的谎言中不能自拔， 实在是可笑之极，这些编造历史的韩国人不值得尊重， 他们只是极端自卑，

Silla is just a vassal state of the Tang Empire, it has never ruled the northern part of the peninsula, and has no right to speak at all.

The more that is learned about Kublai Khan, many will learn how he was possibly the greatest ruler in history. He moved much of civilization forward. Benevolent at heart, he did what he did until he could do what he truly wanted and that was to create a more peaceful, prosperous, scientific, ordered and free society. Also, he helped the artists, architects, and astronomers in their creations. He created a national school system. So much more....you can look it up.
However, Kublai Khan is a traitor to the Mongols. He took the initiative to unite the Han people to establish the Yuan Empire. The state system, culture, writing, and language all use the Han nationality, and the United Song Empire destroyed the Mongolian Empire inherited by Ali Buge!
idk about "forward". the song was as close as any civilization got to the industrial revolution without actually going through the industrial revolution. his society was not free at all. or did you miss the entire part about the 4 classes of people and how being the wrong race(the han for example) meant you could never hold an important post in his government? national schooling isnt new, hell the first emperor even closed all schools except those he ran and had control over what they taught. Kublai is great in the sense that he picked up the pieces left behind by the brutal mongol conquests, and put them back together, and at least in his lifetime, most lives were getting better compared to the wars before him.
That's true. There is some doubt concerning Marco Polo truly going to China at all. To my knowledge, Marco Polo did enter official service in the Yuan dynasty, however he must have been a pretty minor official rather than an important governor. Ultimately, we probably shall never know unfortunately!
The Last Emperor (1987) is a cinematographic masterpiece which I 100% recommend. Series about Chinese history are usually more romance or martial arts based (or pretty nationalistic and historically inaccurate). The 2010 Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very enjoyable though (but keep in mind it's based on the novel, not historical reccords) !
This is the only dynasty which openly practise racial segregation like the caste system in India. The most racist dynasty of all. And during its short reign of 90 years, there were many records of systemic massacre of the southern Chinese as a reprisal against song’a fierce resistance. It held out the mongol over 50 years ! Mongol is still a symbol of barbarism even in today china.
You are showing a picture with the supposedly young Kublai - this is a mistake, this is not a portrait of Kublai, but of Altun. 安童, Altun (1245 - January 1294) is the great-grandson of Mukhali and long-term chancellor of the government of the Yuan Dynasty.
Interesting. Your spelling of Ariqboke in Mongolian reads Aricboke with the sound “ch”. But a quick search of wikipedia spells it like you did. However, the Chinese wikipedia has the Ariqboke spelling. Which one is correct tho?
That's a good point. I've never studied Mongolian, so I had to trust the bitchig scripts I found. If anyone knows Mongolian and the bitchig script, please reach out!
It’s hard to write that name by the pronunciation. I’d say Ariqboke makes the most sense, as it’s supposed to be hard G and not K. If we were to spell it with Aricboke, it’ll be pronounced with K which isn’t correct.

Pangarap kong makapunta dyan pre sa mongolia
Do you have any Chinese ancestry?
The Attila ost is really spot on, great choice my friend.
I know right totally an ost that needs more attention
Hi from Mongolia! Great video. So impressive to see my ancestors stories. I recently did 23andMe and I had 0.01% Chinese, 6.6% Central Asia and Turkic traces and this makes so much sense
Thanks for your comment! Stay tuned, I'll make a couple more videos on the Yuan dynasty :)
As a Mongolian, i don't like that Khubilai abandoned the development of Mongolia and lived permanently in China. I would say he was opportunistic because China had infrastructure and manpower as well as nice taxing.
You haven’t upload in so long. Glad you when I saw your upload. Great videos as always.
Thanks :)
Awsome im looking forward to the next one and the ming dynasty.:D😍
I JUST FOUND THIS CHANNEL & LOVE IT! I cant stop watching all your videos. I love history & current world events, I've been around the world in the Marines so all of this is so fascinating, thank you so much. I would put you guys up there with Kings & Generals/Historymarche.
18:04 Maybe this explains why there are so many Southern Chinese overseas.
Love your videos btw, discovered your channel last week and currently on a mission to watch every single one. There are not a lot of historical videos that focus on the Qing Monarchs. So I am thankful you are making them plus I am learning lots!
Thank you so much! After I finish the Yuan, I'll cover each Ming emperor as I did the Qing :)
Overseas Chinese not migrated during Yuan Dynasty, most probably during Ming and Qing dynasty.
Very Bing Chilling

One of my ancestors in my D’Auria-Doria Family Tree in Italy was: Demenco Doria visiting the first Yuan Emperor Kubali Khan in the Yuan Dynasty in China. The first Yuan Emperor Kubali Khan appointed Demenco Doria as the ambassador to Europe. Since January 1977 at Gallaudet University in my junior year, I still have done my research project on my D’Auria-Doria Family Tree in my longer Italian ancestral lineage in my family genealogical history in a fact. Very interested about Yuan Dynasty in China under the first Yuan Emperor Kubali Khan in Far East History course.
Your channel is part of the i started learning Chinese
absolutely love your videos! I was first here when there were fewer than 7000 subscribers, so happy that you are gradually getting the attention you deserve! Thank you for your work and keep it up!
Thanks so much for your comment! Nice to have you following for so long :)
Beautifully done! I love the Yuan Dinasty's lore
Cheers!
Ghost of Tsushima piqued my interest in this dynasty and when your video shifted to the invasion of Japan, I was not disappointed
I couldn't not use clips from it ;)

Just a few clarifications on the Mongol pronunciations:
The name "Mongke" is pronounced more like "Munk" and "Ariq Boke" like "Areeq Bohe" in the Mongolian language.
Your pronunciation of Khublai was pretty close. When Mongolian people say the name, they pronounce it like, "Hu Bu Lay". The ones you used here are closer to the Chinese pronunciation of Mongke and Ariq Boke, as well as occasionally the western pronunciation of Khublai, which is understandable to make it easier for people to follow; not putting a knock against you or anything like that.
Overall though, another solid video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your comment! This was definitely a first for me, cause I never studied Mongolian contrarily to Chinese. I'll try to improve for the upcoming vids :)
@@History_of_China No problem, man. It's pretty normal for most people to be unfamiliar with the Mongolian pronunciation unless they've been to Mongolia or know someone who is ethnically Mongolian and speaks the language. It was the same for me before, until I visited Mongolia and learned it from a native Mongolian friend who lives and works there.
On a side note: Mongolian is extremely difficult to speak fluently and correctly pronounce a lot of the words unless you're a native speaker of the language.
Thank you so much for this documentary!!!!!!! It is EXCELLENT 🙌❤️🔥
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed!
For the first time ever, China was about to Unite all of East Asia under Mongol rule, but Kublai had to invade Japan during Monsoon season
And Korea was not part of the Yuan, just a vassal.
Love your channel and love the Yuan dynasty so this video is 👌
Cheers :)
Its interesting how the Southern and Northern divide of China started from here, the borders of the Late Song follow almost the same divide as all the Southern Dialects

Nope that movie is about the Manchurian invasion of Korea not the Mongol
Another day, another perfectly made video by history of China
Unfortunately, nothing was said about the long war with the descendant of Kaan Ogedei - Haidu Khan. But he had his own large khanate, which occupied half of modern Mongolia, East Turkestan and most of the former Chagatai ulus of the Mongol Empire (now the territory of the Central Asian republics of the former USSR). Khaidu did not recognize Khubilai as a kaan and claimed the throne in Karakorum until 1303. The war with him was very difficult for Yuan and, in fact, a losing one during Kublai's life.
Just when he gone he came back
This is truly amazing!
Thank you!
Yes, that's how China became as big as today thanks to this Mongol ruler. Great video.
The Tang Dynasty in China was bigger than this, and the Mongols at that time were still one of the many servants on the grassland ~
@@知-k3q You keep telling your fake story, you might as well start believing in it...
@@lt419 Who is Mongol Shiwei? Is this a fake? So the Mongols were born in 1206?
no. the chinese territory today is due to the Qing dynasty.
after the yuan fell, china only controlled the chinese heartlands and bits of manchuria(they did the control of whole thing out to siberia but only for a small amount of time).
Ming china lost control of Xinjiang, tibet and mongolia(or rather never conquer it in the first place).
Qing china, assimilated Mongolia and reconquered tibet and xinjiang, they also retook taiwan.
the republic of china would then lose control of outer mongolia but kept control of xinjiang. tibet would be de facto independent but never actually declare independence.
the PRC would then win the civil war and take over all the former RoC areas except taiwan. and of course they also retook de facto control of tibet.
@mxn1948 Oh really. I advise you to read this book by John Man: The Mongol Empire - Genghis Khan, his heirs and the founding of modern China, which is one of the historical sources where he tells that thanks to Mongolian ruler Khubilai khaan, China became as big as today.
I thought you were dead ;-; happy to see you back.
Thanks! I have a huge amount of work at university at the moment unfortunately
@@History_of_China same, good luck.
Excellent thank you!
About 色目人 se-mu-ren as "people with multi-colored eyes": it is a common mistake. The fact is that in this combination of hieroglyphs they are not translated literally (色目 - "multi-colored eyes"), but are translated according to similar combinations of Chinese terms of the 12-14 centuries. And then these signs (色目) conveyed the meaning of "all sorts, all kinds, others." Therefore, this category of Yuan people meant "all kinds, other (than the Mongols), people".

You should have mentioned that the Mongols gave lots of rights and advancement to every Chinese group that were an underclasses prior to Yuan rule, like the Dali, Koreans, and the Dai.
like what rights?
@@mxn1948 like being able to declare banckrupcy which was an exlusive right for Chinese citizens
@lati long the Korean nobility often intermarried with the ruling Mongols.
As a Chinese, I must say that your statement is wrong. Before the Yuan Dynasty, it is difficult to say that Dali, the Dai people are the nation of China. The Korean nation has even maintained its independent status to this day. So they can't say that the past is inferior. Under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, all ethnic groups were not equal. The Yuan Dynasty discriminated against the Han nationality, the majority ethnic group in China, and the Mongolian nationality held a high position, and appointed other ethnic groups from Central Asia (Semu 色目人) to oppress the Han nationality.
@@黎央-d1e before Yuan, the Han Chinese oppressed everyone who wasn't Chinese, during the Yuan only disloyal Han Chinese from the Southern Song were oppressed

The Yuan's invasions of Vietnam took place in 1283-1285 (second) and 1287-88 (third). Kublai appointed the defected Prince Trần Ích Tắc as the puppet king of Dai Viet because of the reigning Trần Nhân Tông refused to pay tribute.
What happened to the ly dynasty? (dai viet)
@@carljohnson8470
In 1224 the 8th Ly king Hue Tong abdicated and became a monk. His 8 year-old daughter Ly Chieu Hoang became the queen of Dai Viet. In 1226 the Trần family managed to get Trần Cảnh married with the Queen, and thus he became the king. The Lý family's 210 year-rules over Dai Viet were over. People of this clan feared of being persecuted, many changed their surname to Nguyễn. The last son of 7th Ly king Cao Tông, prince Lý long Tường, fled to Korea and became the ancestor of the Hwan Sae Lee clan in Korea. However that account came from Korean sources. Previously, according to Korean accounts, another Vietnamese prince arrived in Korea in 1128 after wandered northern China.
Like neighboring Southeast Asian kingdoms, the Viet kingdom under Ly dynasty erected stone inscriptions by kings, royals, and Buddhist monks. No mention about the two princes in these inscriptions.
@@emgailinhka6979 thanks for sharing knowledge
@@emgailinhka6979 i don't understand vietnamese but i saw a cartoon about ly dynasty most of the ly king are talented they are very kind especially during ly thai tong reign
@ᜋᜌ᜔ᜉᜄ᜔ᜀᜐ the vassalized Dali kingdom in Yunnan did provide troops to the Yuan army during three Yuan invasions of Dai Viet and Campa 1258, 1283-1285, 1288. Yunnan was a transition zone between Southeast Asian, China, Tibet, India.
The biggest consequences of the Yuan invasions of Indochinese kingdoms (Burma, Campa, Dai Viet) were Yuan military weakened, disintegration of Burma, large-scale Tai migration, destruction and decline of both Campa and Dai Viet, gunpowder firearm technology transmission to Southeast Asia.
When the newly formed mongol nation sent diplomats to the song dynasty, they said something like "our empire is like the ocean, yours is but a handful of sand, how can we ever fear you?..."...well, they should have
The Mongol Yuan invaded "Vietnam" mean they invaded Dai Viet and Champa.
Dai Viet was not Vietnam.
Vietnam as a name didn't appear until 1804.
Champa was not Vietnamese. But historically we can call Dai Viet and Campa "medieval kingdoms of Vietnam".
Vietnam is a modern multiethnic country that the Vietnamese Kinh don't present all.
Thanks for your comment! You're right. When I said Vietnam, I used the term in its geographical sense. I hope this clears up things :)
Oh my god it's here boys, strap yourselves in it's go time!
Interesting tidbit - I was in Beijing and the old ruined walls of Dadu are still visible to this day, and at the imperial examination school there are standing stones with academic graduates from the Yuan Period - the imperial examination system continued after Kublai's death (they have specific areas separating Academic graduates from the Ming and Yuan period)
I live in Beijing and I confirm this. The Yuan Dynasty is my favorite, so I like finding tidbits of it around the city.
If you had the opportunity to make a cinema based on a Chinese emperors life, which emperor will you choose for the cinema?
I think I would want Huangdi or taizong
Great question! I think the lives of many emperors would be fascinating, perticularly for the greatest dynasties. In the Qing dynasty, Xianfeng would be pretty interesting as a kind of helpless figure yet supreme ruler. Qianlong and Kangxi also obviously come to mind for their achievements.
In the Ming dynasty, the Tianqi emperor would be interesting to cover as well as a seemingly illiterate emperor who preferred carpentry to ruling. Yongle would be a glorious story.
For the Tang, Gaozu and Taizong would both be interesting
@@History_of_ChinaWho is the best song dynasty emperor?
@@faroqe_omar Most likely Zhao Kuangyin (Song Taizu), since he basically unified fragmented China, founded the dynasty, and on the societal side, founded many academies that bore great fruits.
Zhao Gou (Song Gaozong)'s life is pretty interesting too. Although he was a terrible emperor for the dynasty, his personnal life is extremely eventful

Thank you! I use both GIMP for image editing, and Sony Vegas as the video editing software :)
The yuans or Mongols were great invaders. However, what they were good at is also what led to their downfall. They failed at managing what they concurred.
Korea was not just vassal state. When Kublai Khan became king, it was a marriage alliance and Goryeo was a son-in-law nation. And even before the Mongol Empire, Korea was already a member of Mongolia from origin. Hankook韓國(Korea) literally means 'Khan State'. In Korea, Han is a dialect changed from Khan. We used to call our kings as Khan. Goryeo opposed the Mongols over who was the Big Brother. However, after the marriage alliance, Korean culture became popular(called Goryeoyang) in the Yuan Dynasty. This is the first Korean wave.
The history of the Korean Peninsula is very simple. The Chinese were the first to establish a country on the Korean Peninsula. The earliest country was called Qizi Korea（萁子朝鲜）, which was established by the Chinese. Later, there was Weishi Korea（卫氏朝鲜）, which was also established by the Chinese. It brought a large number of Chinese men, mated with local indigenous women for hundreds of years, and established the earliest residents of the Korean Peninsula. Later, the Chinese Han Dynasty eliminated these regimes, and established four Han counties in the northern part of the peninsula, Lelang County, Xuandu County, Zhenfan County, Lintun County, etc.,乐浪郡、玄菟郡、真番郡、临屯郡 and dispatched a large number of Chinese officials to rule. Later, the Han Dynasty declined, until later China The Goguryeo established by the ethnic minorities continued to rule the northern part of the peninsula. After the fall of Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, it directly ruled the northern part of the peninsula and helped the three small countries in the southern part of the peninsula: Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan 马韩、辰韩、弁韩(that is, the predecessor of South Korea today, and even South Korea's name is derived from these three small countries) to resist the invasion of Japan (Japan), that is, the Battle of Baijiangkou, through this war, the Korean ancestors were prevented from being colonized by the Japanese. Until later, the rulers of the Wang Clan Goryeo and Li Clan Korea on the Korean Peninsula were descendants of the Chinese. These two kingdoms were all vassals of the Central Dynasty of China. Their kings could only be called Kings with the consent of the Central Dynasty. Tributes must be paid, and Chinese characters have been used all the time. This system has been maintained until the Qing-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and Korea was colonized by Japan! This is what Korea calls the Japanese era! ! The history of the East is thousands of years. The Korean peninsula is a vassal of the Central Dynasty of China, and the history of hundreds of years is directly ruled by the Central Dynasty. Therefore, the Koreans are slaves for thousands of years, and the genetic makeup of North Koreans and South Koreans is also It is quite different, the paternal line of North Korea is more Chinese, while the paternal line of South Korea is more Malay, or Jomon, Yayoi, closer to Japan.
Koreans (some but not all Koreans) will only tamper with history, but unfortunately Chinese history books clearly record their history, but these shameless peoples (not all Koreans) are like chicken blood. It's ridiculous to indulge yourself in the lies that you make up, these Koreans who make up history are not worthy of respect, they are just extremely inferior because their history really makes them inferior.
These shameless South Koreans are jumping up and down the Internet, spreading rumors to slander China, these people are really shameless! !
朝鲜半岛的历史很简单， 最早在朝鲜半岛建立国家的就是中国人， 最早的国家叫做萁子朝鲜， 是中国人建立的， 后来又有卫氏朝鲜， 也是中国人建立的， 这两个政权都带去了大量的中国男人， 将近一千年的时间和当地土著女性交配， 奠定了最早的朝鲜半岛居民。 后来中国汉朝消灭这些政权，并在半岛北部设立汉四郡，乐浪郡、玄菟郡、真番郡、临屯郡等， 并派驻大量中国官员进行统治， 后来汉朝衰落， 直到后来中国的少数民族建立的高句丽，继续统治半岛北部， 唐朝灭亡高句丽之后，直接统治半岛北部， 并帮助半岛南部的三个小国马韩、辰韩、弁韩（也就是现在韩国的前身， 甚至韩国的名字就是源自这三个小国） 抵抗倭国（日本国）的入侵，也就是白江口之战， 通过这次战争，避免了韩国祖先被日本人的殖民（明朝万历年间中央帝国有一次的帮助朝鲜抵抗日本的进攻，没有中央帝国的支持， 韩国人早已多次沦为日本的奴隶）。直到后来朝鲜半岛的王氏高丽， 李氏朝鲜， 统治者都是中国人的后裔， 这两个王国都是中国中央王朝的附庸， 他们的王，只有经过中央王朝的同意，才能称王， 每年必须朝贡，并且进贡大量韩国女人，并且一直使用中国汉字， 这个体系一直维持到清日战争，清朝战败， 韩国被日本殖民！也就是韩国所称的倭政时代！！ 东方历史几千年， 朝鲜半岛都是中国中央王朝的附庸，并且几百年的历史是由中央王朝直接统治，并且朝鲜人和韩国人的基因组成也大不相同， 朝鲜国更多的父系是中国人， 而韩国的父系更多的是马来人，或者绳纹，弥生人，更加接近日本。
韩国人（一部分不是全部韩国人）只会篡改历史， 可惜中国的史书，把他们的历史记载的清清楚楚，有些韩国人却像打了鸡血一样的沉迷在自己编造的谎言中不能自拔， 实在是可笑之极，这些编造历史的韩国人不值得尊重， 他们只是极端自卑，
@@win79526 if korea founded by Chinese, so why don't Koreans speak Chinese? can you answer this question? If you read the history books of the Jin dynasty and the Qing dynasty, the official history books of your country, it is written that the people of the Jin dynasty are from Silla. Can I quote your country's history book? And in the official Chinese history books, it is written that Jurchen and Mongol were never Chinese, just rulers of mainland China. And for a thousand years, the Han Chinese were second-class citizens. This is a fact written in the history books.
@@UbermanNullist I did not say that South Korea was founded by the Chinese, I only said that the earliest countries on the Korean peninsula were founded by the Chinese, including the Han Empire and the Tang Empire, which directly ruled the northern part of the peninsula! !
Poor Koreans, where they say the rulers of the Jin Dynasty were from Silla? Silla is just a vassal state of the Tang Empire, it has never ruled the northern part of the peninsula, and has no right to speak at all. They have been slaves for generations, poor Koreans, didn't they abolish Chinese characters when Japan colonized the Korean peninsula? Look at how many historic sites and how many old family trees are written in Chinese characters? Also, the script you are writing now is called Hunminjeongyum, which is just a phonetic script invented by your ruling class in order to better rule the slaves. ! Regardless of Wang's Goryeo or Lee's Joseon, that king didn't write Chinese characters? Because of their inferiority, Koreans desperately distort history. This is extremely ridiculous. You forgot how the Ming Empire asked you to pay tribute? You forgot the rise of the Jurchen, how did the Ming Empire let you send troops to attack the Jurchen? You forgot how the Jurchen sent troops twice, how did they attack you? You forgot Namhansanseong, how did your king kneel? ?

Happy New Year!! I've finished writing and started looking for pictures, but it's truning out to be much harder than I expected. It's also pretty long so I'll likely make it in two parts! Not sure about how much longer it will be though, but I'm working hard on it!
The more that is learned about Kublai Khan, many will learn how he was possibly the greatest ruler in history. He moved much of civilization forward. Benevolent at heart, he did what he did until he could do what he truly wanted and that was to create a more peaceful, prosperous, scientific, ordered and free society. Also, he helped the artists, architects, and astronomers in their creations. He created a national school system. So much more....you can look it up.
“Benevolent at heart” ahahahaha, I’d hate to see what evil looks like to you
However, Kublai Khan is a traitor to the Mongols. He took the initiative to unite the Han people to establish the Yuan Empire. The state system, culture, writing, and language all use the Han nationality, and the United Song Empire destroyed the Mongolian Empire inherited by Ali Buge!
idk about "forward". the song was as close as any civilization got to the industrial revolution without actually going through the industrial revolution.
his society was not free at all. or did you miss the entire part about the 4 classes of people and how being the wrong race(the han for example) meant you could never hold an important post in his government?
national schooling isnt new, hell the first emperor even closed all schools except those he ran and had control over what they taught.
Kublai is great in the sense that he picked up the pieces left behind by the brutal mongol conquests, and put them back together, and at least in his lifetime, most lives were getting better compared to the wars before him.
可惜忽必烈之后蒙古人治理国家不行，一直内斗。
Another great video. However, wasn't there some controversy about Marco Polo because there were no Yuan records naming him?
That's true. There is some doubt concerning Marco Polo truly going to China at all. To my knowledge, Marco Polo did enter official service in the Yuan dynasty, however he must have been a pretty minor official rather than an important governor. Ultimately, we probably shall never know unfortunately!
Hopefully you could help bringing my Kings and Generals Mongol conquest slideshows to more viewers.
Thanks so much
Great work. Can you suggest some movies or series related to the Chinese history?
The Last Emperor (1987) is a cinematographic masterpiece which I 100% recommend. Series about Chinese history are usually more romance or martial arts based (or pretty nationalistic and historically inaccurate). The 2010 Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very enjoyable though (but keep in mind it's based on the novel, not historical reccords) !
Netflix Marco Polo series, only 2 seasons but it does worth watching!

I love Yuan Dynasty. It was a short but beautiful time. Khublai Khan was a great man.
This is the only dynasty which openly practise racial segregation like the caste system in India. The most racist dynasty of all. And during its short reign of 90 years, there were many records of systemic massacre of the southern Chinese as a reprisal against song’a fierce resistance. It held out the mongol over 50 years ! Mongol is still a symbol of barbarism even in today china.
You are showing a picture with the supposedly young Kublai - this is a mistake, this is not a portrait of Kublai, but of Altun. 安童, Altun (1245 - January 1294) is the great-grandson of Mukhali and long-term chancellor of the government of the Yuan Dynasty.
Semu, although literally means "colorful eyes", it actually means "assorted". Refer to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semu
Interesting. Your spelling of Ariqboke in Mongolian reads Aricboke with the sound “ch”. But a quick search of wikipedia spells it like you did. However, the Chinese wikipedia has the Ariqboke spelling. Which one is correct tho?
🦃🇲🇳🎪
That's a good point. I've never studied Mongolian, so I had to trust the bitchig scripts I found. If anyone knows Mongolian and the bitchig script, please reach out!
It’s hard to write that name by the pronunciation. I’d say Ariqboke makes the most sense, as it’s supposed to be hard G and not K. If we were to spell it with Aricboke, it’ll be pronounced with K which isn’t correct.
