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"
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.
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. =)
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
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.

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.
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).
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.
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).
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.
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.
There are different phases that the Chinese dynasties created. I'll cut it short for lazy people Qin - Unified China into what we basically known today. Han - Standardized the language even further and initial masters of how China should fight their wars. Northern & Southern dynasty - This was the turmoil and predates the Romance of The Three Kingdom's timeline. This soon split into the famous 3 regions or "Kingdoms" we would very well know of, Shu-Han, Wu and Wei. Shu-Han was ruled by Lui Bei, granduncle of the current Han emperor, Wei was ruled by Cao Cao, a dictator and kidnapper of the Han emperor and Wu, the only empire on the entire of the Yellow River was ruled by the Sun family of Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan. Tang - Renaissance period of China. Literature, science, architecture and metalogy were all florishing and mastered in this dynasty. Goryeo (Olden day Korean, way before Joseon) and Japan all used architecture styles of Tang and even their sabres and Katana all followed Tang's sabre metalwork and even materials. Song - Renowned dynasty for invention and constant stories of magnificent literature like The Water Margin and this period is also very well-known for uber chaos being inflicted by the Yuan Dynasty. Yuan - 1st non-Han ethnic emperor over China and created the Silk Road that brought other ethnic groups and religion such as Islam into China and doubled the trade with other nations. Ming - Pinnacle moment of China. Stepped on the world stage by voyaging around the world even before Christoper Colombus and Magellan by a Chinese eunuch and good friend of Zhu Yuanzhang aka Hongwu Emperor, 1st Ming Emperor, Admiral Zheng He. Spread trade and Buddhism all across the world. Magnificent stories like Romance of The Three Kingdom (This period was the one that caused the Han Dynasty to fall but this was the sort-of parody of the ancient period) and as I mentioned on the Song line, The Water Margin (Why I left this title on the Song because this story was written on the period of the Song) also. Masters of warfare and spread the usage of cannons to the West. Evolutionist of modern day Kung Fu. Conquered Korea and placed it under it's control. Qing - Considered to be one of the weakest dynasty by historians. Despite Qing being great and expanded it's territory to places like Siam (Present-day Thailand) and Vietnam, it fell to it's knees after the death of Emperor Qianlong. Constant revolts and uprisings happened. Oppression of the population and constant wars with the west. Stubborn to not modernize the army till it's very late. Downfall of the entire Chinese dynasty system.
Wait.. I didn't read it all when I last commented.. but when the f**k did Ming conquer Korea? Former Han conquered parts of Korea. Tang destroyed two of Korea's three kingdoms at that time. Yuan (the Mongols) conquered Korea. Qing invaded and subjugated Korea in the 1600s. Ming never conquered Korea. The Joseon dynasty of Korea was always in a cordial relationship with Ming. The first king of Joseon famously refused to launch a military campaign against Ming and staged a coup against Goryeo instead. Qing invaded Joseon because Joseon refused to sever ties with Ming.
The Ming Dynasty never conquered Korea but Chosin Korea was a tributary state to the Ming court. Ming China did send troops into Korea but it was to challenge Hideyoshi, a Japanese warlord who was set on invading Korea in the sixteenth century.
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.
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.
I feel that the only reason why the Europeans were able to do what they did was a) poor leadership b) lack of an enemy to keep up the need for technological advancements. Song dynasty though was just weak militarily and had two enemies to work out which was sucky circumstances. Thats why those inventions lead to their downfall. If the Ming for example if Hongwu hadn't died early they would of established permanent contributory states and store enough grain to maintain the empire. I think China just missed its own chance many times to be a global leader but left it to the Europeans + Kangxi's arrogance and ignorance (thinking industrial revolution was nothing special) screwed China for 200 years.
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.
By the way, the water-tight vessel and rudder invented by the ancient chinese for maritime trade, combine with gunpowder and other arsenals, gave the Europeans (specifically British) the chance to sail to China and introduce opium and the firepower to overpower the backward Qing Dynasty. Talk about irony! But then again, most ancient inventions in China were by Han Chinese during periods of rule under Han, not under non-Han.

You know the chinese are still separated. Cantonese (hk), mandarins(tw), and mandarins(mainlanders). Plus shanghainese, watever nese. NESE NESE NESE. We are so sepreated. Plus Malaysia and singapore.
A lot erroneous facts! Eg, Silk Road evolved in the Han Dynasty!No mention is made of the Zhou Dynasty which was just before the Han Dynasty! All the philosophies of China - esp Confucianism and Taoism - and the basis of Chinese mentality were established in the Zhou Dynasty! Then there was the Jin Dynsaty which ruled North China for over 400 yrs by the Jurchens, the ancestors of the Manchus! So this was the first foreign rule of (North China) way before the Mongols!

Cheemeng Xiong Culture is the practice of arts, religions, and/or manifestation. Though Hmongs do have smiliarities practices like Chinese, they do have their own common beliefs and traditions. Hmongs are from the Southern side of China (located mainly from the mountains) they are the Sub-Groups of the Miao Ethnic group. Miao people have their own groups because Northern China is considered to be The Orantic (originals) China of the Chinese. Hmongs and Miao are from the Guizhou Province during the Qing Dynasty (rebellions) of the 19th century. Later, Miao-Hmongs few percentage of mixture of both groups migrated to Southeast Asia. Such as Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, and Myanmar.
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.
I like chainese history and dynasty I'm buddhsit from Nepal but buddhism not start from India buddhism start from sakya dynasty now inside of Nepal long time ago all India following buddhism and Buddhist king rule in India I like budhdism I'm buddhist 🙏🙏🙏
Not exactly, because Kublai Khan himself declared that he took over the mandate of heaven passing from the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, which was a mark of establishing the rightful rule over China. He was an emperor not only a khan, and the Yuan dynasty officially made chronicles( an very important political gesture in Chinese history） for it's predecessors, the Liao, the Jin, and the Song dynasties , which means they deemed themselves as the unifier of China. More importantly, the successor dynasties, the Ming and the Qing, both admited that Yuan was a Chinese dynasty. However, unlike the manchurian Aisin Gioro monarch, the mogolian monarch never declared or deemed themselves as Chinese(the Qing rulers viewed themselves and Manchurian people as Chinese but non-Han Chinese, and declared Manchuria as a rightful part of acient China from Yellow Emperor's era, just like Hunan or Hubei province), so the Yuan was actually a Chinese dynasty but ruled by foreigners, that's an more accurate statement.
china and japan relations were quite good before the opium war when china lost, japan thought china isn't that really great and strong nation anymore and decided to invade china.
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?
I wish they were united together as one and went and conquered the known world..like ghenghis khan did when united all Mongolia under his rule and conquered the known world..China was one of them..
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
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.
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!
wuzetian's reign is still Tang dynasty although the formal country name changed temporarily. After her death, her male descendants ascended the throne continuing Tang dynasty so wuzetian's reigning period is not a separate dynasty.
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
don't be surprise about the period the last dynasty had ended, the last caliphate had ended in 1924, 13 years after the end of Qing. Call it imperialism at its finest. But the British monarch still exist.
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 :)
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!!
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

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
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
Sammi Tan Empress/Emperor Wu, the first and only female to rule China during that period.
There was Chen dynasty in Vietnam tho lol

Oh,GUYS! CHILI pepper? yuan dynasty? Silk road? CHILI PEPPER IS FROM AMERICA BROUGHT TO EURO_ASIA CONTINENT BY COLUMBUS .
From Best to Worst MAIN Dynasty:
1. TANG
2. HAN
3. SONG
4. QIN
5. SUI
6. QING
7. MING
8. SHANG
9. ZHOU
10. XIA
11. JIN
12. YUAN
A lot erroneous facts! Eg, Silk Road evolved in the Han Dynasty!No mention is made of the Zhou Dynasty which was just before the Han Dynasty! All the philosophies of China - esp Confucianism and Taoism - and the basis of Chinese mentality were established in the Zhou Dynasty! Then there was the Jin Dynsaty which ruled North China for over 400 yrs by the Jurchens, the ancestors of the Manchus! So this was the first foreign rule of (North China) way before the Mongols!
My brain is so satisfied with ALL of the facts right now.

If you didn't there is a culture call Hmong that live in China in the 18th century with the Chinese people too.

Cheemeng Xiong Culture is the practice of arts, religions, and/or manifestation. Though Hmongs do have smiliarities practices like Chinese, they do have their own common beliefs and traditions. Hmongs are from the Southern side of China (located mainly from the mountains) they are the Sub-Groups of the Miao Ethnic group. Miao people have their own groups because Northern China is considered to be The Orantic (originals) China of the Chinese. Hmongs and Miao are from the Guizhou Province during the Qing Dynasty (rebellions) of the 19th century. Later, Miao-Hmongs few percentage of mixture of both groups migrated to Southeast Asia. Such as Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, and Myanmar.
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.
My forefather was from Fujian China, my grandfather migrated to Malaysia, lot of Chinese descendant here still call them-self Tang People.
I like chainese history and dynasty I'm buddhsit from Nepal but buddhism not start from India buddhism start from sakya dynasty now inside of Nepal long time ago all India following buddhism and Buddhist king rule in India I like budhdism I'm buddhist 🙏🙏🙏
Fascinating!
Also, how the fuck did I never notice you have Enterprise-D blueprints on your wall!?
Right now Chinese people mock their current regime as the "Tian Dynasty", or the heaven/sky Dynasty, meaning the highest ruling power in the world.
It is more proper to say yuan is Mongolian dynasty not Chinese dynasty.
yeah
Not exactly, because Kublai Khan himself declared that he took over the mandate of heaven passing from the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, which was a mark of establishing the rightful rule over China. He was an emperor not only a khan, and the Yuan dynasty officially made chronicles( an very important political gesture in Chinese history） for it's predecessors, the Liao, the Jin, and the Song dynasties , which means they deemed themselves as the unifier of China. More importantly, the successor dynasties, the Ming and the Qing, both admited that Yuan was a Chinese dynasty. However, unlike the manchurian Aisin Gioro monarch, the mogolian monarch never declared or deemed themselves as Chinese(the Qing rulers viewed themselves and Manchurian people as Chinese but non-Han Chinese, and declared Manchuria as a rightful part of acient China from Yellow Emperor's era, just like Hunan or Hubei province), so the Yuan was actually a Chinese dynasty but ruled by foreigners, that's an more accurate statement.
DL W
Manchurians made the concept of 'Chinese'
They ruled china, therefore Chinese
OK, I don't remember Dan saying why he liked the Tang dynasty the best. Curious minds want to know. :)
Using this to study for my ap world test on Thursday
My Fav Dynasty Is The Ming
Me too, the one last Han people(漢人)dynasty, after that, all you can see is shiny men's forehead.
Those Mongols also broke the back of the muslim caliphate when they invaded iraq
Good video,but i don't really like to pass 10 minutes watching a teenager poster. Too old for that shit.
There's a theory - the Zhou were the descendants of the Zo people of Myanmar and North East India... Any idea ?
hey hey I just wanna know ,where did bodo tribe of North East India came from...??
china and japan relations were quite good before the opium war when china lost, japan thought china isn't that really great and strong nation anymore and decided to invade china.
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?
I love Chinese history I'm watching the Qin Dynasty. But like the story on Cao Cao he was nothing to play with
I wish they were united together as one and went and conquered the known world..like ghenghis khan did when united all Mongolia under his rule and conquered the known world..China was one of them..
6:45 in India people ate rice thousands years before Song dynasty
the most important chinese dynasty is 周.then 商 夏 漢 明 隋 宋 唐 晉
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
Sui and Tang'paternal is Han Chinese ,the grandmother is nomad.
Stop telling your bullshit,Sui and Tang Dynasties' royal families were ethnic Han paternally but ethnic Xianbei maternally.
Wow, it seemed like for the most part China did well under dynasty.
What makes and destroys and dynasty and what happens when the dynasty ends and did people know that they were being part of a dynasty?
what do you mean "our realitives" are we related or was it like a bonds thing!?
was that Enterprrise 1701-D poster always there?? lol
hang Zhou Qin Han x2
Sui Tang Song x2
Yuan Ming Qing Republic x2
Mao zedong DING! x2
sing it to the song Frére Jacques (look it up)
I had a dream that the terra cotta warriors came to life and they conquered China and reinstalled the emperor lol
The Song dynasty seeds, children invented anything recently?
Am I wrong if I think that the Qin Dynasty is the first dynasty???
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.
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!
They forgot to add Empress Wu & her reign upon the tang dynasty. Wu expanded the borders of China by conquering new lands in Korea and Central Asia.
wuzetian's reign is still Tang dynasty although the formal country name changed temporarily. After her death, her male descendants ascended the throne continuing Tang dynasty so wuzetian's reigning period is not a separate dynasty.
Fantastic videos as always! Would you guys make a video about the history behind "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
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
Mike, how many channels are you on? I know of at least 3: Beyond Science, Strictly Dumpling, and this one.
don't be surprise about the period the last dynasty had ended, the last caliphate had ended in 1924, 13 years after the end of Qing. Call it imperialism at its finest. But the British monarch still exist.
Many European countries still have monarchs too
China was the longest lived superpower.
Love your video you guys are amazing shared about Chinese culture and history. I was B in Singapore now live in Arizona..
