Both are correct regardless. If the commenter is from HK then it would make sense why that person is using British spelling . HK was a former British colony after all.
The animation is really beautiful. I especially appreciate how the animator showed the emperor swooping in on the lady. That part gave me the creeps. 😂 Well done, animator.
As someone who experienced two extremely frustrating pregnancies, I can appreciate the magic and relief of having a new born daughter/son birth from a gourd.😅
This line: As her ters filled the construction halls, seeped into the craks and soaked it's stone entire portions of the wall crumbled into a river of grief
narration on this is so beautiful teh narrator modulates their voice perfectly according to the part of the story being narrated. in my culture, people actually train for recitation as a performing art
There are a hundred strories in India using the same thread. Sathyavan-Savithri is one popular one Kannaki is that is famous in south indian state Tamil Nadu. There is one such story about a grand well in Rajasthan.
It was never an easy ideal to achieve and always took a toll on the children that practiced it. That's why it is considered a great virtue. If everyone can easily attain in than it would hardly be one would it.
@@slashine1071 if government like kings, queens, emperor, and presidents could abuse their own peoples cruelly, (didn't even gave freedom of speech, or right of own freedom) The people would revolt If leader or boss of company could abuse their own employees (never gave their royalty, cutting their salary) the employee would revolt If parents and elder could abuse their own children (next generation), didn't gave free will, always pressured them mentally, use them as trophy child, disrespecting the path their choose. what's make you think think their own flesh and blood wouldn't revolt?
But as the the thumbnail and video description said, it's a myth/story, that was later debunked, because the first version of that story was first recorded centuries before the building of the Great Wall and that 1st emperor has been heavily demonized for millenias
read real history not from legend /myth, there was a good reason why succesive dynasties keep the project, to protect chinese farmers in the north from raiding powerful nomads
Due to the strict control of iron in the Ming Dynasty, the iron POTS used by the Mongols for cooking were rare and precious treasures. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, 1,000 Ming cavalry could chase 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, because the Chinese had armor and the Mongols were as poor as beggars.
Those days people sustained their love by "breaking up" Walls... These days they don't need to try so hard. Now Read only those written inside apostrophe. You will find the reason. 🙂
Dennis for romantic the Great Wall well temple was built after her I guess the Great Wall is longer love can always stand even the great Wall of China is the monument of true love if the longest life
Wow I was not expecting to see this on TedEd. One of the most famous 4 love stories in Chinese folk lore. As a Chinese I have to admit I did not remember the gourd birth part and the part where the Qin Emperor took her as a concubine. Great video
I always look up your videos for update! Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserve. Thank you Mrs Linda, imagine investing $1000 and receiving $5,300.
Idk what it is with all these babies hiding inside fruits and plants
Yeah yeah me same doubt
😅
Yeah, i've noticed
and fleshy balls.

Love may build bridges, but grief apparently takes down walls.
Oh this😢
What a beautiful interpretation.
@@TEDEd Wow, thanks! Love your content!
very poignantly and elegantly put (:
@@LightBlueVans Thank you!
I’m Chinese. I’ve studied a poem about this story in school. I had no idea there was so much more backstory and learnt loads tonight. Thanks :)
Past tense of learn is learned 😊
@@ariana_208 learnt is also correct but in British English
Hong Kong ? If not uh idk don’t answer
Both are correct regardless. If the commenter is from HK then it would make sense why that person is using British spelling . HK was a former British colony after all.
Ofc you don't, you live in a dictatorship. We know more about china than Chinese.

Hope you and your family are doing ok, medusa.
Grief is the price we pay for love .
This is a beautiful tale that belongs in a movie. Hope an studio will eventually find it and produce it.
It better *not* be Disney
"The tale of Princess Kaguya" is on a similar note.
ohmygosh i remember my teachers telling me this story as a kid
Wars show the worst side of humanity, ambition with lack of compassion are the main problem

I had a children's book of this when I was little. The story always stuck with me.
A Beautiful story about the power of love, thank you for sharing !
YAY I have been waiting! ❤
Awesome as always thanks ❤
I thought this was about a few construction men who destroyed a fraction of the war to make way for their trucks

Sathyavan-Savithri is one popular one
Kannaki is that is famous in south indian state Tamil Nadu.
There is one such story about a grand well in Rajasthan.
It's interesting that Filial Piety is an ideal virtue in Eastern Stories. Taking care of the elderly is a noble goal
But nowdays that ideology become toxic
It was never an easy ideal to achieve and always took a toll on the children that practiced it. That's why it is considered a great virtue.

I really like the TedEd myth videos, its like having someone read you a bed time story. I really hope they make more ❤
So sad and beautiful 👏👏👏😭😭😭💜💜💜
This video is top-notch! Thank you kindly! 🌈
I wonder how many more sad stories the Great Wall could tell…
Wow! That was depressing.
LOVE YOUR CONTENT ❤❤❤
This is so tragic
0:19 and they would get Mexico to pay for it
This emperor actually finished his wall
Lmao
Yay new vid!
Best video thank you for information❤❤😊
What happened with his old mother?
The girl's name is so beautiful. And the pronunciation by the narrator also add so much joy to listen to it.
I never heard this version.
Well that was devastating
I just can't imagine how the workers had to climb the mountain and brought all the bricks up there to built the great wall.
This should be a movie
So the Great Wall wasn’t just built with bricks, but also with broken hearts 💔
Yeah really🥹
Wowww
😭
The Spartan way.
So building border walls do work?
what's the actual river on which this myth is based upon?
Oh boy always wanted to visit the great wall but now that i know thats its basically one very long tall walking path grave for the slaves im hesitant.

I love the video 💛💛💛💛💛💛
And the moral of the story, this is why we can't have nice things or people.
I am from China. And I now live in America and still learn Chinese. The reason for this is that I don’t know Chinese that well. Also remember,更新饭菜!
Good video.
Oh my gosh a new one came out !!!
I love TEDEDSooooOooooooOoooo much ❤❤❤❤
I hear Genghis Khan only had to go through an unguarded gate that was strangely open and just rode in. That was how they got to invade, China.
Due to the strict control of iron in the Ming Dynasty, the iron POTS used by the Mongols for cooking were rare and precious treasures. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, 1,000 Ming cavalry could chase 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, because the Chinese had armor and the Mongols were as poor as beggars.
that's a really sad story
Interesting story.
It is, great and unbelievable that Ted Ed completed to feature the Four Great Folktales of China 🤍🌌🦋💮. Looking forward for more myths.
Sounds like this story inspired that of the Two Lovers from Avatar.
I thought that sounds more like "The Cowheard and the Weaver Girl."
I hope she reunite with her love
I grod up on this thakyou
Thanks
story tellers are really good at making stuff up.
This ancient story is...
...sad. 😢
Aghhhh this myth sounds like the ending of When The Sea Turned to Silver by Grace Lin!!
"Build the wall!" 🤔🤔🤔
does the emperor remind us of someone we know 5 years ago??
the current white hair emperor inspired by ancient emperor across the sea
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon anyone?
rip Fan Xiliang’s mom i guess
It's the first time to hear this story. Haha.
Those days people sustained their love by "breaking up" Walls... These days they don't need to try so hard. Now Read only those written inside apostrophe. You will find the reason. 🙂
The wall is useless , there are tunnels and caves under the mountains.
That's sad
Dennis for romantic the Great Wall well temple was built after her I guess the Great Wall is longer love can always stand even the great Wall of China is the monument of true love if the longest life
That had a very German fairy tale ending. And then she died, the end, now go to sleep.
its like momotaro 1:11
the chinese and japanese were strongly influenced by each other in terms of cultures
And so was born the great river of sorrows....
How to not respect such a women, even legendary
That's a strange spelling of Chen Yuanyuan.
Music is so high
It's not the titans?
孟姜女☺️
唉，有些人啊⋯⋯
Alr the beginning sounds like the Berlin Wall ngl 😅
Yes
应该是故意丑化秦朝所作的故事，毕竟有古秦律法为证。但传到今日就变成了经典爱情故事。文化也是挺神奇的。
There is a lot of children who are born from fruits and vegetables in china.
SECRET TUNNELSSSSSS
Does the Ted Talk?
I feel like this should be a metaphor for America’s failed future of resolving the immigration problem
If that wall didn’t exist, the Mongols would have attacked.
they did anyway
How do you think the Yuan Dynasty came to be?
Cool
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan:
Meng Jiang, broke down this wall.
Early gang
Under 1 hour???

I thought you where going to explain how it actually got broken... 😓
Who visited the Great Wall of China👇
Stealing into the fray?

I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimonies on CNBC news last week...
Trader Linda strategy has normalised winning trades for me also. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started
please educate me, I've come across this name before, Now i'm interested
Please is there any link or information about her, how can I reach her?
SHE IS ON TELEGRAM
So she took "cry me a river" literally lol
💔
What happened to Fan shi's mother
What happened to the guys mom tho ?
King Fritz ahh walls
I can see the symbolism behind the story, but I'm not going to say it
