    These people were treated by Chinese the same way Romans treated Celts. The parallels are very weird - both were amazing blacksmiths, divided into hundreds and thousands of different clans and tribes with varying language differences. Celts were amazing horsemen while Nanman were great sailors. Both got assimilated by those who considered them barbarians. Amazing.

      I wonder if there are tribes in Europe that consider themselves to be direct Celtic descendants with Celtic languages. Even Vietnamese people can still claim kinship to some of the tribes in China that speak Sino-Vietnamese languages. The "assimiliation" of Yue was never complete with the presence of many of their direct tribal descendants making up of China's recognized minorities...

    All because of LGZ's fantastically exaggerated tellings in the Romance, many historians doubted Meng Huo even existed. Now the reason why Zhuge Liang had fire spewing contraptions was because of the fabled wicker armor (which was probably just Rattan) the Nanman soldiers wore, which incidentally made them invulnerable to attacks while also allowing them to fight with incredible speed and swiftness. This mystical wicker armor made Meng Huo's troops nigh unstoppable but like everything else made of wood was susceptible to fire. So Zhuge Liang needed to find a way to burn Meng Huo's troops, which he did by inventing a anachronistic flamethrower.
    Zhuge Liang's incendiary weapons by the way was most likely based on the Pen Huo Qi (噴火器) or "fire spraying device". It first made an appearance on the battlefields of China in 919 CE during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, which took place at least seven hundred years after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms timeline. These types of flamethrowers could shoot a continuous stream of naptha and was a highly effective weapon. They could be used to burn down enemy fortifications, mounted on walls and towers to rain down fire or project walls of flame against incoming hostile forces, and can even be placed on a four wheeled pushcart to sow terror on the battlefield.

      The flamethrower only has archeological evidence dating back to 919. But most people who study Chinese history know that there are new findings very often proving things that seem anachronistic.
      For example, Qin Shi Huang Di was thought to be a mythical figure head from 4000 BC. We recently found his necropolis and proved he is real only about 30 years ago.
      When I was younger, the first Chinese empire with evidence was about 2000 BC. But now we have evidence that shows existence of an empire 8000 BC.

    Two major aspects of general Yue culture not mentioned in this video are their headhunting (猎首) and affinity for water battles (好水战)。
    Also, there's another notable woman warrior among the Yue, who was usually just referred to as the Maiden of Yue (越女) in the historical records. She was an accomplished swordswoman during the Warring States period, said to have come from the "Southern Forests" near or within the State of Yue. She expounded one of the earliest attested martial arts theories in China (complete with application of Yin-Yang concept). She imparted her skills to the State of Yue's army and thus had a hand in helping the State of Yue to conquer the State of Wu.

      阮福映表请以「南越」二字锡封。上谕大学士等曰:「南越」之名,所包甚广。考之前史,今广东、广西地亦在其内。阮福映即有安南,亦不过交趾故地,何得遽称「南越」?该国先有越裳旧地,后有安南全壤。天朝褒赐国号,著用「越南」二字,以「越」字冠其上,仍其先世疆域;以‘南’字列于下,表其新赐藩封;且在百越之南,著于《时宪书》内,将「安南」改为「越南」。

      Năm Gia Long thứ nhất (Năm Gia Khánh Thanh triều thứ 7, 1802), Nguyễn Phúc Ánh kiến lập Triều Nguyễn. Năm sau dâng biểu xin Thanh Triều sắc phong "Nam Việt quốc vương", cuối cùng Hoàng đế Thanh Nhân Tông Gia Khánh đổi tên ra sắc phong thành "Việt Nam quốc vương", Triều Nguyễn chính thức lấy quốc hiệu là "Việt Nam". Đây cũng là nguồn gốc tên nước Việt Nam, thay cho tên cũ trước đây là Đại Việt và dùng cho tới ngày nay.
      "Nguyễn Phúc Ánh đề nghị xin sắc phong hai chữ "Nam Việt". Các thượng dụ đại học sỹ (những người soạn chiếu thư cho hoàng đế) nói: cái tên Nam Việt vốn bao gồm vùng đất Quảng. Xét theo sử cũ gồm vùng đất Quảng Đông, Quảng Tây ngày nay. Nguyễn Phúc Ánh có được An Nam chẳng qua chỉ là vùng đất xưa của Giao Chỉ, sao có thể gọi là Nam Việt được? Nước ấy trước kia thuộc đất Việt Thường cũ, sau này hoàn toàn nằm trong vùng đất An Nam. Thiên triều nên ban quốc hiệu là "Việt Nam", đặt chữ Việt đứng trước biểu thị vẫn là cương vực đời cũ, ghép chữ Nam đứng sau là tên mới được sắc phong, lại là phía nam của Bách Việt, được ghi trong "Thời hiến thư", vậy đổi tên "An Nam" thành "Việt Nam".

    Its very interesting, as someone who is part of the Malayan people group, the possibility that our very culture was once a culture borrowed but forgotten is very fascinating. Especially the tattoo, which are an integral part of all Southeast Asian and Pacific peoples. To have such an influence in our culture - it is surprising to have never heard of the Baiyue.
    The Baiyue were basically the Pheonicians of the East, colonizing large swaths of maritime Asia and the Pacific.

    There is a problem in the video, in fact, the migration from Fujian to Taiwan occurred earlier (about three thousand years before the video is mentioned), there are a series of sites in Taiwan that are classified as the Dabenkeng culture, the earliest of which is about 7000 years ago, and sites with similar characteristics have been found along the coast of Fujian.

      Japanese have very little to do with Southern Chinese and SE Asians from a genetic point of view. They're overwhelmingly Northeast Asian with high amounts of Devil's Gates or Proto-Tungusic in their genome. It's possible that they borrowed some Southern Chinese culture, but as a people they're rather distinct.

      The oldest walled cities in China are actually not from the north, but from the south and from the regions of the Hundred Yue and Nanman. Their ancestors were the first to have large scale rice agriculture which allowed their civilizations to develop into city-states similar to Greece. Archaeological finds not only show the fine metallurgy mentioned in the video, but fine pottery and jewelry (earliest forms of worked jade was found in the south). Evidence from other ancient sites in the north and south showed a series of trade networks. As for the people, the genetic evidence found at ancient sites match those of modern Austronesian and Hmong-Mien speakers. It's very likely that the ancestors of these groups of people made up the Nanman and Hundred-Yue people.

    In the "Romance of the three kingdoms", the purpose of capturing and releasing Meng Ho 7 times is to show the rebel leader that he can rebel 100 times and Zhu GeLiang can defeat him 100 times. Meng Ho's self-confidence is completely destroyed and his ability to raise another rebel army is also destroyed. Nobody is stupid enough to follow a rebel leader that always lose in battle. That is why Zhu Ge Liang is the best military leader to defeat insurgents.
