Hope you enjoyed this episode and our first REAL deep-dive into the history of Cinderella! I found it really interesting how the stories could all unfold in basically the exact same way while still being completely unique from each other. Pretty crazy that this story resonates and is so popular with so many people from around the world. I think it'd be cool to do another episode in the future where I skim over some of the other 700 stories as there were a few I had to leave out of this episode, but that'll probably be somewhere in the near-distant future. Let me know what you think about that and the story itself in a comment down below and don't forget to give the like button a pat on the back!
hi Jon Solo caption please turn on the caption and let me know and I will come back to watch thank you C😎😎L
Don't suppose I can hope you'll look into Scandinavian tales to find the one that is virtually identical to Frozen unlike snow queen? I'm just so bad at this research and you seem very capable. Great video and no worries about an another upload. The Chinese version of Cinderella is my favorite. Hope your tests come back well.
I really like the grim version of this story
Your Chinese is about as good as mine, and my parents & extended family speak it (Mandarin) fluently.
Family reunions are an awkward thing for me & my younger bro...
Thanks for putting in the Chinese story, I first heard it on HBOs "Fairy Tales for Every Child".
I respect Jon Solo for correcting himself and admitting he didn't research that much. Instant like
nik nak ya he’s like me with research projects at school
Righttt
Agreed.
Honestly rad "Jojo sewa" Instead of Jon solo
Ahem I love chocolate milk!!!
*"H E Y C R Y I N G G I R L, W H A T ' S W R O N G?"*
Hahaha that's my fav part
Honestly, I'm still laughing about that one XD
Thats pretty creepy if it wasnt the fairy godmother 😂😂
@@fishramen5390 Yep, godmother the best at making an entrance
I need to save just that clip for next time I'm sad
Ok but like...can we give cinderella some praise cuz the girl literally out ran the freaking prince while wearing slippery glass heels
Like thats some skill right there
I can't even walk properly with heels and she ran ...like whaaaat
Selisia Muslia out ran not outrunned lol
@@native_beauty1340 oops Imma fix it
English its not my first language soooooo
Selisia Muslia lol well your english is better than some people whose first language it actually _is,_ so I wouldn’t worry about it too much 😉
Salina Lawson (“outran” is actually one word btw)
Thats too funny. And so true here too!
Foot binding is now prohibit in China but you can still find old ladies that are called the last generation of foot binding
Carl Brines you can still find them alive last century... if you can find a woman with her foot binded.. you might find yourself a living fossil
Oooooooooowwwwwwww, that's like half my foot gone. So glad its not being done anymore, sounds pretty silly to me.
My great grandma still has her foot binded. She is still going stong, she's made it to 100 years old
I would imagine it was painful. Does she ever talk about that, or is it just how things were and she's cool with it?
VianneyCreates I'm not sure, she just said it was the way things were. She just didn't really like talking about it.
Jon being able to admit his mistakes and fix them is why I appreciate him and his content so much ☺️❤️
Yep
Again love ur picture frm goodfellas, Joe Pesci's mom made the picture of the two dogs looking opposite ways on the boat with the old man with the long white beard. I want one so bad!
On his own volition, even.
More than I could do
"If you need a garbage can, I got one right here."
Jon, you're so polite.
And your french accent is not that bad!
he mispronounced 3/4 of the letters but it was kinda cute
"Don't mind me, I am just making sauce out of my stepsister's dead body then give it to her mom."
The vietnamese's version of Cinderella.
Now that is the ultimate revenge right there.
WHAT- đông hải Hoàng
Okay
I don’t remember that part of the story, but the story was pretty gruesome
Yummy sos
Damn. I don't know if I should respect her or think she is crazy
In Vietnam we also have a version of Cinderella call Tấm Cám. There’s a lot of killing and reincarnated into different things and lastly cannibalism.
F2f
Love
💘
;\
that's my favourite version, it deserves more coverage
i love that jon can make jokes while talking in a serious tone. it makes it 10x funnier in my opinion!😂😂😂
So you actually acknowledge you made a mistake and feel bad about it?
You for real??
RESPECT.
Much respect. Don't get many people taking responsibility for their own actions. I am one of them (that holds my hands up when I'm wrong) and tbh, it's rewarding because people will trust and rely on you. From my experience anyway. Credit to the young chap. Fair play 👌👍

There is an Egyptian and Indian version, too. I kinda... grew up with half a dozen different versions of Cinderella stories.
What's their names?
There is also a Bahraini story of it (either Saudi or Bahraini)
Hello fellow Debby! The Egyptian and Indian versions sound very interesting, would you care to elaborate?
Sarah,
Idk. I got the kid’s versions that just stated “[insert nation/nationality] Cinderella”.
Debbie Powell,
Well in the Egyptian one, she was a blonde green eyed slave girl who lost a sandal washing clothes by the river thanks to an eagle named Ra. The sandal falls into the pharaoh’s lap, and he takes it as a sign from Ra that he needs to marry whoever the sandal belonged to. When he finds her and asks for her hand in marriage, the servant girls who picked on the girl tell him that she isn’t even Egyptian. He goes on a monologue about how she embodies Egypt because her eyes are blue as the Nile, her hair the color of its sands, etc etc, you get the point. She marries the guy and leaves everyone else behind.
I’m a Chinese citizen, and I can assure you foot-binding is no longer a thing, like, for a verrrrrrry loooong time. It’s considered a 陋习，which basically means something that’s really bad or wrong, like sexism. Do people here still think smaller feet prettier for a woman? Not particularly, most Chinese women have similar sized feet anyway.
Juat to add on, 陋习 means a tradition/custom that is considered bad but is hard to get rid of at a particular time because of it being widespread and also people's resistance towards foreign criticisms. Foot binding is no longer practiced in China.
My great-great grandmother had lily feet and my grandmother told me that it was excruciating for her grandmother to walk or even stand.
Koreans never had foot binding tradition, even though Korea was right next door to China, and culturally heavily influenced.
Probably because Korea was a poor country, and women HAD to work in the field along side their husbands.
and face ( no offence.)
CY_B0T so does white people. No joke
😂 what’s up with men finding wives based on lost footwear across time and dimensions?
Foot fetishes know no bounds?

Foot fetish I guess 🤷

@Nadila Right??? That was amazing. The dead pan moments are to die for
You're gonna get a kick out of the Vietnamese version. It's quite similar to the Chinese one at the beginning, but it's the mid and ending that got...interesting.
In it, the Stepmother asked Cinderella (Tấm, but I'm just gonna type Cinderella because it's a pain to keep switching between English and TELEX) got married to the King pretty early on thanks to the shoe thing, but it wasn't over. On Cinderella's father's death anniversary, she was told by Stepmother to climb the areca tree for some fruits as ceremonial offering. Stepmother then chopped down the tree, Cinderella fell and died.
Cinderella's spirit got reincarnated into an oriole, then a wooden loom - which Stepsister ate and burned, respectively, after having taken Cinderella's place as the King's wife. Stepsister dumped the ash on the side of the road, which grew into a tree that bore a single yellow (in the persimmon family), which fell into the lap of a kindly old lady. Cinderella got reborn and was raised by the old lady like her own daughter. One day, the King visited the market and stopped by the old lady's tea shop. He recognized the betel leave wrapped by Cinderella, and so they were reunited.
Once returned to the palace, Cinderella surprised Stepsister by looking much more youthful (and...alive, I guess). Stepsister asked how Cinderella looked even better than before, and Cinderella told her it was by bathing in boiling water. Naturally as all fairytales go, Stepsister went for it and cooked herself. Cinderella then had the corpse salted and made into fermented paste, which she sent to Stepmother as a gift. Stepmother eventually found Stepsister's head at the bottom - and died of a heart attack. Cinderella lived happily ever after.
Aren't fairytales wonderful?
thank you. I appreciate this
Honestly…. Love this version.. thank you 😂
That's honestly awesome and terrifying at the same time😊😊😊😊
Wow, I’m a Chinese yet I haven’t heard of that Chinese Cinderella story before! Thank you!
Just one small detail: Ye Xian’s family was not really “cave people.” Her father was a 洞主, and her tribesmen were called 洞人, which literally translated to “cave master” and “cave people.” But that was a name called by the dominant Han people of the southern ethic minorities, just like how the word “barbarian” was used in English.
Its interesting I read it in middle school
*“I’ll give you a bonus story, because I like you more.”*

Rockelle Noel his videos are so good, and I hope his surgery goes well! Well wishes💞
@@guacamoleontoast4591 I agree. Ever since I found him I watched every single video. Great content.
@@rockellenoel5858 yeah he's the GOAT! 🐐
When your servant sandal is so aesthetic the king wants to marry you for it
In Korea, we have 콩쥐와 팥쥐 (Kong Jwi and Pat Gwi) which is very similar to Cinderella. In the story, Kong Gwi is made to do housework and agricultural work by her stepmother. She also loses a shoe when she secretly goes out. It is her stepsister whose name is Pat Jwi. Vietnam's version of Cinderella, called Tam and Cam, is like a mixture of Chinese and Korean versions. In Tam and Cam, Tam also befriends a fish and is made to do agricultural work. I think the agricultural chores reflect how Korea and Vietnam were agricultural societies.
to answer your question about Chinese foot binding: no, the practice was fortunately outlawed by the 1920s
I knew that, but wasn't sure if the culture still found small feet beautiful
Jon Solo
both yes and no. it’s not a prevalent beauty standard anymore (for example in comparison to having fair skin and double eyelids). however, based on personal experience, some older people (40+) will still say things like “wow your feet are so small, how dainty”.
In 1999, the last shoe factory making lotus shoes, the Zhiqiang Shoe Factory in Harbin, closed.
I read about it for the first time in the story of the Bao Qin in the novel that spans three generations. The author's grandma, when she was young, was put through bound feet n married off to a 48 year old general after she proved the smartest among women n he proved the smartest among men in a competition at an occasion deliberately organised by her 30 year old father to get the general to fall for his daughter since he was a very advantageous match n seemed like a handsome good guy. And they had a daughter whom they named Bao Qin. I hope I remember it right, I don't remember the name of the novel. The grandma's (much younger)sister's feet weren't bound because it had gone out of practice by then. Her grandma was one of the last few women put through it. There's also a scene about her losing balance(because of bound feet) while getting up after prayer n her mom deliberately keeping her attending maid occupied so that the General(I think his name was Zao?) had to come to the rescue.
@@prongs4137 Have you read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan? It's fiction, but I think you'd enjoy it

Actually in most of the older versions what the shoes is made of is never said. The controversy about what the slipper is made of come from the fact that both "verre" (glass) and "vair" (squirrel fur) are pronouced the same way in french. Since it was an oral tale, it's impossible to know what it was made of. But Fur shoes existed and glass shoes don't. Hence why people disagree, both make sense.
I think the fur to glass shoe thing was just a misunderstanding, because in Perault's story he uses the old word "vair" (in French nobody uses that word anymore) which is some type of squirrel fur I think (I just know it's fur), and "vair" sounds exactly like "verre" which means glass
I thought it was because he got it from native americans and they wore moccasins but of course the native americans the french interacted with used fur pelts to trade with the french, thus he thought of something expensive and came up with fur pelts
"Vair" is a specific sort of squirel fur. Cinderella is an oral tale, it was told many time before being recorded on paper. It's impossible to know if they meant glass or fur in the beginning. The oldest versions don't even mention what the shoes is made of.
Anyone else legit loving the fact that Jon's trash can looks like a Solo cup?
I'd think that the glass slippers would shatter from running in them. Painful, I'd imagine.
Heather Comeaux oOf and then once they shatter you’re just stepping in pile of glass🤧
That how you stop the girl from running too far.
Too bad it didn't work!!
Maybe it's like made up of hard compressed glass
The problem with glass slippers is...either it shatters under your weight or from the general wear shoes do, or it’s too heavy to even use (think like a paperweight, except it’s on your foot and completely inflexible.)
Even if she didn’t have glass shards in her feet, she’d have severe muscle and tendon strains
Layla W
Lol! Sounds legit.
And it ain’t glass, it’s mithril!!! 🤣
"...You get an extra story cuz I like you more"

I actually wheezed when you said “Cendrillon ou la petite pantoufle de verre “ but then with your accent. 😂

Now THIS is the quality I was expecting for a Cinderella messed up origins video!
I have never seen a UA-camr who actually apologizes genuinely and doesn’t try to defend himself or disregard the fact he made a mistake, he respectfully accepts conductive criticism like wow one of the most genuine people on this app.

@@dakshayini8207 Depends on how you define thirsty. There's nothing wrong in finding someone attractive and saying so. As long as you're not tryna jump their bones. I don't see the problem.
@@bopperette7260 yeah, I agree
"Hey crying girl what's wrong?" Lmao!!! That look tho coming slowly across the screen.... I was wheezing!!! 😂😂😂😂 My stomach hurts. Oh GOD. Hilarious!!
As far as I’m aware Cinderella ended up with a glass shoes because the words for fur and glass sound very similar in french and with most people knowing these stories from hearing them rather than reading them her fur slippers got Chinese whispered into glass though I love the reasoning for glass especially the being able to see if someone weals scrunching their toes very smart though those shoes would have got real nasty real quick you’d have to clean them like every 10 minutes
It used to be the case, but nobody uses "vair" anymore (which is a particular fur). Plus, as Jon added in his video, there are several versions with silk, glass, fur, diamonds, etc. Anything thats luxurious, really. So we can't say for sure that's what happened. Plus, the story was in circulation in France before the unification of the language, and "troubadours" / "trouvères" would often modify stories to make it their own or to sing it. So again, it's just an hypothesis like any other.
The oldest versions don't mention what the shoes is made of (if the shoes is even mentioned), "verre" (glass) and "vair" (squirel fur) don't sound very similar, they ARE the exact same pronounciation. Hence why the confusion.
"You get an extra story, because I like you more." Dead 😂
Hope you’ll be okay and be healthier after the surgery, Jon 😊
Keep up your awesome work! 👍👋
We all love you brother! 💕💖
Ur pfp just gave me life..

Oh? I’m glad it made you happy 😅😊
Well done for admitting you made some mistakes, and owning up to it.
In Roald Dahls' version the Prince cuts off the step sister's heads. Cinderella is disgusted and marries the baker instead
He did Cinderella
"Cindi..."love the attitude you gave.
"Baby grut.....too.
Real people correct their mistakes. You’re as real as they get, Jon. Thanks for the video and I hope you have a successful surgery.
P.S. - You should totally cover the other 700- ish stories 👍

Hi from England love the series we need MORE
*hey crying girl what's wrong?!*
😂
Grimm Version: Wussies! The fairy godmom is actually the mom on whose tomb the magical tree was planted, that then provided Aschenputtel with her ballgown, shoes and equipment. Doves and pigeons helped her sort out the messes her sadistic stepmother and stepsisters made on purpose. She flees three times, once even hiding in the pigeon/dove nest. The sisters amputate their toes and heels to get into the shoes but the doves and pigeons go like: "Blood in the shoes! Blood in the shoes! The right one is still sitting home!" Then Aschenputtel gets into her shoes. She and the prince marry. And the evil steps get their just desserts in a later version by having their eyes picked out by the pigeons.
THIS! Is messed up!
Well the actual messed up part is that German children know this story. It was read to me as a child (with the eye picking part). That was in the nineties. The same with all the other Grimm stories.
First off - thumbs up for correcting your mistake.
Now, I'm a little depressed that you didn't even mention Mercedes Lackey's version (entitled The Fairy Godmother). Possibly the best version yet. But because you covered the other versions so we'll I'll suck it up and deal with it.
If you are looking for modern retellings- there is a book called Cinder that is pretty good, where the protagonist is a cyborg named Cinder who loses her poorly attached robotic foot at the ball. Then she goes on to fight in a revolution on the moon. Its a fun series.
“That’s like.. that big, a whole inch bigger than my foot” i hope someone else find this funny and gets the joke 😭😂😂
Jon, you're actually hilarious!
Hope the surgery goes well.
"Which is... This big. A whole inch bigger than my foot." Am I ashamed to admit I got confused by this then laughed? Yes. Yes I am.
In some versions the prince throws pitch (Tar) on the stairs and that’s how her shoe gets stuck.
j qui wasn’t that in the Brothers Grimm version?
@@terra_the_nightingale135, I think so, and then they copied the original story when writing Into The Woods
@@bookbook9495 I remember. Into The Woods used most of the Grimm versions rather than the Disney. Which of course made it more interesting lol
Four inches for a foot that's
.....this big
Me:oh yeah
Jon: a whole inch different than mine
Me: oh intere- wait a second lol
I liked the move "EverAfter" with Drew Barrymore
such a *delightful* guilty pleasure... also, Anjelica Huston portrayed a wickedly brilliant evil Stepmother 😍
I heard that the "first version" was the one where the sisters cute their toes off. I wander where that one fits in?
Think that was the brother’s grimm version
Bonnita Cazares that’s the brother Grimm’s version
Bonnita Cazares it’s not actually the toes it’s actually the back of the foot idk how to call it but yeah I grew up with that version and because it’s really messed up we can tell that it’s the brother Grimm version
@@jeaninescheubert9087 I believe one step sister had the toe cut off, the other had the heel (back of the foot).
@@feyrieflight9481 That's the way my grandma told it.

To be sure, the shoe motif is traceable to Amasis II who married a Greek who was considered an outcast ( Sanskrit chandala/ Cinderalla).
honestly soo much respect for admitting your mistake last time! love ur videos can't wait for more

Please do a full-blown uncut episode about Cinderella where you’ll not only cover a recap of the animated Disney movie, but also the Charles Perrault story called Cendrillon, the Brothers Grimm tale, the La Gatta Cenerentola story from Italy, the Egyptian story, the Chinese story, the 2015 live-action remake of the Disney animated classic, and other Cinderella stories from around the world!
Ye-Xan is such a beautiful story I remember reading it when I was younger!
I'd always heard "glass" was a translation error and Charles meant fur. But I like your reasoning here.
I heard the whole "fur slipper" was a euphamism for a woman's lady parts. You can guess how the Prince tried those 'fur slippers' on till he found one that 'fit'.
You tickle my fancy. I am glad I found your channel. I like good stories.
I have yet another version of the Grimm story. I was given a collection of Grimm fairy stories (View Productions, Australia, 1987) when I was a kid, and in the book I have, Cinderella doesn’t have a fairy godmother; her clothes etc are handed down to her by a bird in a hazel tree on her mother’s grave.
In the version i know from germany "Aschenputtel" the ballrobe falls directly down from the tree, when she says "Bäumchen rüttel dich,Bäumchen schüttel dich, wirf Gold un Silber über mich" (Tree shake, tree rattle, throw gold and silver over me). It's like a gift from her dead mother.
She wants to go to the ball, but the stepmother says she cant' because she has housework to do. So she works all night and day long, so that she can go and shows the stepmother that she's already done, when she and the stepsisters are ready to leave.
But the stepmother throws a bowl of peas into the ashes of the fireplace and says she has to sort them all out, then she can follow them, because she knows she could never do it in time.
But Aschenputtels pidgeons are helping her sort them out and so she can go.
When the stepsisters try on the shoe, the stepmother cuts off the big toe of one of them and a part of the heel of the other. She says that it doesn't matter that they can't walk properly anymore, because they won' have to do things themselves anymore, when they are married to the prince.
When Aschenputtel marries the prince in the end, the pidgeons peck out the eyeballs of the stepmother and stepsisters (this bit is censered often).
@@Prophet-dw9gz I think that’s basically the version I have. I guess I saw the bird as a spiritual ‘helper’ of the mother, so a little different from it being the mother acting directly. But basically same. 😊
Revise of Cinderella? Perfect!
You are one of the few I know who will openly admit when you've goofed, very admirable. And great video
I just found your channel a few days ago and I absolutely cannot get enough.
His drag of a new rag
Love it 😂
And the fairy god mother poppin in 😆👏
I hope your surgery goes well!! I really like this episode because I read the Chinese and Egyptian versions of this book in school, so it's cool to have that knowledge in my head along with the new info provided by your video :3
Thanks so much for taking the time to gather all this info! Super interesting! Also, a huge thank you for adding the art work as you always do, it really helps with visualizing the story (with the time periods) There are some really beautiful works in this video. Sending positive vibes for that surgery :)
If you think these story is dark, you should read the Vietnamese version. It follow same plot line of ye xian story but the story is so dark. It call Tấm Cám.
It wasn’t so dark when I heard it in my kindergarten years. And that’s the uncensored version. My teacher even add in some details to escalate the gruesomeness.
@@anastasiaphan4202 but I remember the version I taught is that at the end, Tấm feed Cám body to the step mother by making Cám into mắm. Maybe we from different region so they tell different story🤷♀️
Yep, dark as heck but we love it anyways
Prayers going up,wishing you a speedy recovery after your surgery.
Haven't finished the vid yet but I bet it will be amazing
Intriguing last story
And “what’s wrong crying girl?”
Lol
Thank you so much! Super interesting 🤩
this was really informitive! i really like it!
So far my favorite version of the story is the Irish 1919 The Girl Who Sat by the Ashes by Pádraic Colum version. The prince is originally mean to her in this version and she has him mend his ways before she agrees to marriage.
3:29 Steve (from Blue's Clues), is that you?
really appreciate how you did your best to make amends for that one video you gave misinformation in. great video jon!
