Love the vids! Keep them coming...I've never heard the word "dynasty" so many times in one video lol. I dare you to count how many times they said "dynasty"
7:45 That map is mislabeled. The Yuan Dynasty was an imperial division of a larger global Khanate system. It combined China, Tibet and Mongolia into an area called the Great Khanate. The middle east and eastern European region was ruled by the Kipchak, Chagatai and Persian Khanates. Collectively, these four khanates make up the Mongolian Empire.
The silk road actually started much earlier than Yuan Dynasty. There were small number of trade groups going between China and Europe as early as Xia dynasty. However, the route was fully established during Han Dynasty under Emperor Wu of Han and his effort of sending Han officials to the West to recruit allies to fight against the powerful Nomads in the north call Xiongnu. Anyways, you guys did an excellent job of telling 8 dynasty in 8 minutes. There are just way, way too much information to tell in such a short time. and you guys make it very interesting unlike many college professors. =)
You missed one important dynasty there, the Sui dynasty. And the historical Three Kingdom period. And about Ming dynasty you forgot to mention Zheng He.
Sui dynasty is underrated and often gets overlook, but they are the ones who unified China after the Northern and Southern dynasties period, and laid the groundwork for the achievements of Tang with their reforms and infrastructure projects, like the Grand Canal. In a way Sui was very similar to Qin. Both dynasties were short lived and fell to popular revolts due to their harsh rule, but also enacted many changes that would allow the following dynasties to flourish and reach new heights for Chinese civilisation. Also, slight correction. Chili pepper originated from America and didn't come to Asia via silk road, but via European merchant vessels from 16th century onwards.
I see some similarities with the Maoist period(1949-1976) and the Qin and Sui Dynasty. There is a lot of standardization going on, such as simplified Chinese and establishing Mandarin as the official spoken language. And he was pretty brutal, kind of similar to what happened in the Qin and Sui dynasty too. The big difference is that China is still ruled by the same government, so technically speaking, China would probably be in another dynasty right now(but without emperors).
This refreshed my memory of Chinese dynasties!! But Dan, did you like the Tang Dynasty because of the relatively revealing clothes that women used to wear LOL HAHAHAHAHAHA idk I couldn't think of other stuff that would make you like that dynasty so much yet not say it HAHAHAHA
I like how there's a pattern here. Spring and Autumn period(divided). Qin(short and reunification) to Han Dynasty(long). Warring States Period(divided). Sui(short and reunification) to Tang Dynasty(long). 50 year period of division(divided). Song dynasty isn't completely reunified. Then the Yuan(mongol ruled, also reunified China, also relatively short) to Ming Dynasty(long). The Shun dynasty(very short) was almost established after the Ming Dynasty fell, but was interrupted by the Qing Dynasty(long). Then from 1911-1949, Nationalists, Communists, and various warlords were vying for control over China, also known as the Warlords Period(divided). Although on a map, you would think China is unified during that time. Then it's the Maoist period(1949-1976) when he mostly reunified China, but his rule was short, and the Chinese government, this time, didn't collapse but instead reformed under Deng Xiao Ping, so technically China is kind of in another dynasty right now(the closest comparison would be the Han, Tang, and Ming dynasties).
Really like your short takes and synopsis. Continue doing content on Chinese history, tradition, culture, (esp your) food reviews. Would love to get together with you guys someday just to get something to eat :)
Chili peppers originated in Mexico.[3] After the Columbian Exchange, many cultivars of chili pepper spread across the world, used in both food and medicine. Chilies were brought to Asia by Portuguese navigators during the 16th century.
great video! thank u so much :D I'm doing a poster on the ming dynasty that my history teacher assigned to my class for homework and this really helped!!
It is not weird that imperial dynasties lasted until 1911; most European monarchies lasted until the end of World War I at 1917. Some monarchs continue to serve ceremonial duties to this day.
i love these chinese history videos can you also talk about interiors and exteriors of buildings during those dynasties? i am taking a design class on architechure and i think it will be really interesting
Indeed, the Chen ("Tran" in Vietnamese) dynasty ruled Vietnam (then known as Dai Viet consisting of today's northern Vietnam) from 1225 to 1400. The ancestors of the Tran/Chen clan originated from the province of Fujian in China before they migrated to Dai Viet. The greatest general in Vietnamese history, Tran Hung Dao (1228-1300), were fluent in Chinese. He is best known for defeating Mongol invasion three times in 1257.

I'm currently studying "introduction to the the history of East Asia" at uni and just finished writing my first essay... Not gonna lie this would have been doper useful a few hours ago, just to sum up all the stuff I'd read. :D
What the, no Sui Dynasty? It's really hard to skip over the Great Canal and the first actual unification after the Han Dynasty (solidifying the belief that China could be reunited). Not to mention, it's an interesting dynastic transition since the Tang Dynasty were first cousins to the Sui Dynasty. And you have the really interesting historical figure Dugu Xin who essentially was the godfather of the realm (his daughters were the queens of the biggest nomadic tribes, the Sui founding queen, *and* the first Tang emperor's mother). Imagine the great reunification of China made only possible by the greatest grandfather of all time! No wonder the Dynasties could claim full cohesiveness.
Actually, the Chen Dynasty was one of the Southern Dynasties (note: plural). There were in fact several families/dynasties that successively ruled the Southern part of China, i.e. territories south of the Yangtze River (hence the name). Chen Dynasty happened to be the last of them. Also, it's the ONLY dynasty that is named after the family surname of the rulers.
Well the Silk Road should be opened in Han Dynasty as well, and you guys forgot "zheng he xia xi yang" in Ming Dynasty. Ming had the absolute mastery of the sea, even the Dutch's fleet back in that time was defeated by us. Moreover, Ming didn't use that power to colonize like the Europe did later on, it spreaded the culture around instead.
You guys seem to give the mistaken impression that the ancient silk road begun during the Yuan Dynasty under the Mongol rule. But that isn't true. The Silk Road was already fully established in the Han Dynasty when Zhang Qian the emissary came back with information about the west regions, and hence trade was started. It reached its zenith during the Tang Dynasty when Xi'an was a cosmopolitan city with merchants, scholars from Persia, India (ancient name anyone?), Japan(ancient name anyone?) and further afield, etc descended on Xi'an, some eventually settled. Also at this time Buddhism, Islam, Nestorian Christianity and other faiths were co-existing in Tang-ruled China (then known as Central Plains). Also Yuan Dynasty is not the first non-Han dynasty. Technically speaking, other dynasties before and after the Han dynasty such as the Tang Dynasty might not be entirely Han, since they were Xianbei (some said the Tang royalty may some Turkic admixture too). The concept of Han came after the Han Dynasty and people who identified with that Dynasty proclaimed themselves as Han, rather than a particular ethnic group. Yuan Dynasty was not the pioneer of the Silk Road, rather they revived the Silk Road and made it easier for merchants etc to traverse since the Mongol controlled territories that stretched from China to eastern Europe.
The Yuan map is kind of wrong. It's a little bit smaller than what the map shows. The Yuan only extended from China and Mongolia to parts of Central Asia and Siberia. They bordered the Golden Horde in Europe, the Chagatai Khanate in Central Asia, and the Ilkhanate in the Middle East.
Great job! I like it that you pronounce the Chinese names as they are supposed to be pronounced. I have one exception to the pronunciation. Daoism is pronounced as a 'T' Taoism and not as a 'D.' You probably know that too. I am not sure if it is right to say the Yuan extended all the way to Europe. That was the extent of the conquest of Genghis Khan, but I doubt that was the Yuan Dynasty. Thank you for excellent job!
Why wasn't the Shang(Yin) dynasty mentioned? Wasn't it during this time period that written language was started and recorded? Or not mentioned due to the bad things that happened during that time period?
Hey Guys, Chili pepper did not originate in China, as mindblowing this may seem but it originates from america and became popular around the world through the explorations and the trade of the portugese. So actually chili peppers became popular in asia just a couple hundret years ago. Black pepper (or the other variants) was brought to Europe by the silk route.

Too bad didn't mention the first female emperor Wu ZeTian at Tang dynasty. Furthermore, "Journey to the west" is banned at beginning of Ming dynasty because Emperor Ming TaiZhu is very sensitive to anything that reminds being bald as monk before.
Actually even before the Yuan dynasty, previous dynasties may not be even Han kingdoms. The very idea of Han Chinese is more of naming themselves after the great Han Dynasty, rather than an ethnicity in itself. Eg, strictly speaking Tang Dynasty is not really Han Chinese. Sui Dynasty emperors have nomad grandfather and Han grandmother, while Tang emperors have ancestors of more mixed ethnicity. Qin

Yep, the silk road started existing during the Han dynasty, China's first golden age :D
India was more impotant than europe for trade in the silk road back then
You missed one important dynasty there, the Sui dynasty. And the historical Three Kingdom period. And about Ming dynasty you forgot to mention Zheng He.
The Tang Dynasty is my favorite dynasty as well!! Such beautiful fashion and awesome things that came from it! ❤
i quite dislike tang dynasty which destroyed traditional chinese values seriously
I prefer Han
sameee :))
The Tang dynasty was really brilliant.

How can you forget Zheng He's voyages in the Ming dynasty?
Well the Silk Road should be opened in Han Dynasty as well, and you guys forgot "zheng he xia xi yang" in Ming Dynasty.

Thank you..

Wasn't the Tang Dynasty larger than the Yuan?
Who invented the word 'Dynasty'? Sounds like 'die nasty'. Like how all dynasty ends. LOL.
It’s a Greek word: δυναστεία(dinastía)
Am I wrong if I think that the Qin Dynasty is the first dynasty???
