China today is a country of many controversies. Its industry is booming, but it’s a socialist state. The communist party is the undisputed ruler of the entire nation, with many Orwellian features in its dictatorship. Even Chinese society seems to be rather collectivistic in nature. With the centralized economy, a strong people’s army, and a clear leftist ideology, China today is without a doubt a communist country, which, unlike most of its predecessors, seems to be functioning and here to stay. But despite all that, there is a resemblance between this modern People’s Republic and Imperial China of the past, as the same blood of the red dragon flows through its veins. And though ideology has changed quite substantially, it looks like the philosophy behind it remained the same. So, to understand present-day China, its politics, society, and culture in general, we have to go back to the beginnings of the Chinese civilization.

This is a visual treasure. I had no idea the Chinese were such ancient peoples. This video emphasizes the cultural, religious, and economic improvements the Chinese created for themselves while they were isolated from the world. However, your book studies tend to emphasize the wars of the people who became the Chinese nation.
ASIA WAS ALWAYS ADVANCE THAN WEST, INDIA WAS GEM OF ASIA...
@@vermajigar9759Lol, yeah. “Was”. Past tense. Unfortunately for you we live in the present buddy.

"The Chinese written language remains the..."
That's the Japanese writing system being shown on the video.
I noticed that as well. It has hiragana and kanji.
What is the real written language for China called?

Yeah, the stock footage in these videos doesn't always line up. For instance, I just saw ancient Phoenicians fighting pirates with pistols 😃

Ancient China,Egypt and Greece so fascinating.

The story starts 2000000 years ago, 10000 years of ricegrowing culture, more than 5000 years of relics unearthed. 夏商周with oracles language , copper containers and
lots of wonderful jades.
Lu Bu got too powerful. This enraged Cao Cao, who punished him severely.
Lu Bu was killed because he betrayed everyone he ever worked with eventhough he was a great warrior and general. Cao Cao had him executed once Lu Bu offered to join him. To rid the world of a his disloyalty despite his military prowess.

Awesome
Ancient 🇨🇳 Is awesome.
Can you do a video on the Medieval China from the Sui & Tang Dynasty through the Ming. That would be dope! The Tang golden age deserves more attention.
Thanks for your comment, we can't promise we will but we will take it into consideration!
@@CaptivatingHistory Cool. No pressure, I'll take what I get I love it all.
@@HVLLOWS1999 If you are interested in these two dynasties I recommend you checking out the northwestern aristocracy also known as GuanLong aristocracy of the Ancient China. It is the most powerful political group in Ancient China(and perhaps the world) that controlled the highs and lows of dynasties and remains in power for nearly a thousand years. Both dynasties that ruled Sui & Tang were born of these groups and also plagued by its influential existence.
Their most distinct quality is they all are mix breed of the native Han Chinese and the invading minorities that took advantage of a weakened China since the Han dynasty. (If you think about it it is actually quite like game of thrones, the invading Targaryans took over Westeros and the native houses had to cling to them despite the hatred )
It is also the defining reason why the Tang Dynasty of China is such a progressive and open state as they themselves are also only half-breed Han Chinese. (It would have been the same for Sui if it hasn't been so short)
The famous historical novel of the Three Kingdoms (which is also very much like Game of Thrones btw) is actually a romanticized depiction of these nobilities' struggle of power and partially the reason how the GuanLong aristocracy have come to gain power. However this is like really insider stuff, there were no official record that identifies them by this common name, nor was their importance discovered until very recently. It is like an Ancient illuminati group getting its insides shown to the world, really exciting stuff.
Here is a list of Chinese dynasties before I recommend some dramas based on different dynasties: Xia, Shang (Oracle Bones Scripts), Zhou (Western and Eastern Zhou), Spring-Autumn Period (where the Hundred Schools of Thoughts appeared, and Confucius and Lao Tzu, who founded Confucianism and Daoism, lived), Warring State Period (where seven kingdoms Qi, Chu, Han, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Qin fought for supremacy after the collapse of Zhou Dynasty), Qin (reunification and building of the Great Wall), Han (first golden age where Han Chinese character Hanzi and Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in the world, got their name; opening of the Silk Road), Three Kingdoms (Northern Wei, Western Shu, Eastern Wu), Tang (where Japanese sent the most envoys to copy the Tang culture wholesale; second golden age), Song, Yuan (Mongol-ruled), Ming (Korean culture based a lot on this dynasty), Qing (Manchu-ruled).
“Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, one of the four Chinese classics with the setting in the Three Kingdoms Period after Han Dynasty.
“Virtuous Queen of Han” on the life of Wei Zifu, the Queen consort of Han Wudi, or Martial Emperor of Han Dynasty who opened the Silk Road and traded with the Roman Empire.
“Legend of Chinese Empress” on the life of the only empress of China, Wu Zetian, in the Tang Dynasty.
“Judge of Song Dynasty” on the life and work of Song Ci 宋慈, who wrote the world’s first forensic science book called Washing Away of Wrongs 洗冤录。
Also check out a documentary called “Daming Palace and Tang Dynasty”. They briefly mentioned about the Japanese envoys kentoushi 遣唐使。
History Channel did a series called Ancient Discoveries. Six episodes were devoted exclusively to Chinese inventions, which make up a long list.
CCTV-6 China movie channel features a lot of Chinese historical dramas and documentaries.
All of them on UA-cam. Enjoy. ❤
thsi video is good
the descriptions are good but many pictures in tgis video do not correctly correspond to the thing described
Finally finished writing everything you said took about 4 hours and a half
Jeez, that's a long time for notes!

Cacao (曹操) is not the one who forced the last emperor of Han Dynasty (汉献帝) to abdicate, instead it's his son Cao Pi (曹丕)

Wrong, when Sima Qian told fairy tales, he would say that this is a very early thing, and it cannot be tested. He went to the place where history happened to listen to the legends of the local people. Therefore, Sima Qian reminded the readers in advance of the fairy tales
I wonder why the shang thought the zhu were their barbaric distant cousins. Did they have large differences between them? I can imagine, with the yellow emperor
Bro have not read Shang oracle bones yet. The Shang referred to Zhou as "Zhou" and appointed their leader "Marquess". I've seen translations of bones that record orders to the Zhou, so obviously Shang considered Zhou their vassal.
10:20 that's literally hiragana and kanji... Japanese text....
The narrator sounds like he's gonna let out an evil laugh at any moment!!😂😂😂
In Asian history I did not see any clip about Iran. why?

The Igbo language is the fundamental language of so- called Sudanic "kwa" language. However, The Igbo Empires would spread to Europe, Middle-East, Near and Far East as far as India, China, Japan and Mongolia to establish the great Oriental Civilizations. All these languages have a common root in Igbo language! The earliest civilization of ancient china in the second Millennium B.C, commenced with the the Black Igbo Africans of china ( Igbo language: Chi ana meaning God's land) ruling Dynasty under Emperor Yu ( Igbo language: Iyi, meaning "water"). before the communist revolution, the so called Emperor Yu was Emperor Iyi, meaning " Emperor of water". to this day, Chinese tradition claims that, the great Yu, was the regulator of the waters and the builder of canals. He also invented wet field agriculture. It is not contested by modern Chinese historians that, the Early Emperor of China were of African descent.
I m from China
Congratulations han cheese

What socialist dictatorship? How did you come to such a term? From your western colonialisers’ model of the world?

I think it's sad communism eventually took over and so many people died. Hopefully, eventually, the people there can be free.
china history began with Shang Kindom. u wasted a lot of time talking about stories, they are not history.
Everyone came off Noah's Ark and before that ,Adam and Eve. Pick up the Bible.
Then how did people get to China then?
ヨーロッパ好きが溢れ出た文章だね。
Everyone comes from Adam and Eve. Everything began about 6 thousand years ago . No such thing as evolution or millions and billions of years ago, whack-a-doodle.
Pls shut
You have to stop lying to people.
I am really interesting to study Chinese history and ancient art I just hate Chinese Communist Oppressing system. Covid-19 was born in China, in Wuhan becouse Communist Party cover upped so much all precautions was lost and chinese turists came to Northern Italy with COVID-19. Chinese Communist Party is evil and corrupted and without no value of human life. I hope someday we can remember China as wondrous nation where Marco Polo traveled and imagine the richness of Chinese culture and become part of their art. Nowadays Art is dead, there is only Mao 's Red Book of infantilism and massive starvation of whole China.
The CoVID started in Fort Detrick? Should check the Biolab . WHO was barred from checking it, fishy!!
