    As a Chinese, I compliment your effort to make this video as accurate as possible, but there are several errors. No mentions of Xiongnu dividing into northern and southern Xiongnu, no mention of the Tartar Confederacy who originally rivaled the Mongols, and why is Song written as 西夏? It is not Thai, but Nan Zhao南昭. It is called Spring and Autumn period because Confucius wrote a chronical book about this period called 'The Chronicles of Spring and Autumn'. No mention of the Han came to power by defeating Western Chu. Xiongnu are not direct ancestors of Mongols, but one of the nomadic tribe subjugated by them is(东胡). No mention of Gokturk being divided into Eastern and Western Gokturk, and no mention of the rivalry and wars between Tang and Umayyad, and Abassid Caliphates, which were pivotal to world history! No mention of other schools of thoughts outside Confucism, such as legalism which helped Qin defeat the other warring states. And most pronounciations are off, sorry to say because I know you are not a,native speaker and your mother tongue is of a non-tonal language.

    That is a great book. I read it 10 years ago when my Chinese friend recommended it to me. I had asked him how I could learn more about China. He bought me that book. Very interesting

    The level of detail when a lake is shown only in a zoomed in view that lasts about 3 seconds when it’s an animation and isn’t necessary to the video at all is just very impressive

    Wow, you only mentioned the brief 3 Kingdoms period for only a few seconds. Even though it's a mere small blip in history, it gave rise to one of the great classical literature, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Numerous opera shows, movies, tv serieses, and even video games were inspired by that period of history.

    This was really fascinating. I love learning about the history of these nations in a condensed form for me to choose wha I want to expand upon. The next chapter is something I've wanted to learn about for years.
