That weekend as all first time travelers do, went down to kankan the shops by Yu Garden when one of the young salespeople was trying to sell me some painting with a man on an ox knowing I was an ignorant foreigner fresh off the plane. She the went on to asking me did I know who this was to which I said I'm not sure but probably Laozi. I almost laughed as I saw her eyes got so wide with an almost unspoken how did you know that?

The thing that is smart to do is to try look for the places he describes on the internet. I imagine the process of searching would make it just as if not even more interactive through that very active experience. See it as extending your hand toward the teacher, who from what i gather has not been able to come across a proper video editor.

    I happened across these podcasts because I was trying to learn more about the historical dynasties that I had heard about through the various chinese historical dramas I have watched. I started with your dyanasty series, but plan to go back to listen to all of them. The only suggestion I would make is could you set create a playlist of your podcasts that where episode 1 is at the beginning of the list. The current list requires listening in reverse order. It is a bit inconvenient.

    • @ChinaHistoryPodcast
      @ChinaHistoryPodcast Před 28 dny

      My deep thanks for your suggestion and for listening. Unlike other China history shows, I sort of jump around all over the place. You have to admit, by the Han Dynasty, unless you're a fluent Chinese speaker, imperial history starts sounding the same, dynasty to dynasty. That dynasty series is a good place to start in order to get the lay of the land. There's plenty of imperial history, modern history, long series on Taiwan, Xinjiang, Tang Poetry, Philosophy, the Warlord Era, Tea history, Chinese American history and much more. Listen to what interests you and skip over what doesn't. You can use the sort function to sort all the episodes from oldest to newest. I also have a whole bunch of Playlists already setup covering a slew of topics. Let me know if you have any trouble.

    What is the difference between this post and the original video format? Is it just a format thing that CZcams has done?

    • @ChinaHistoryPodcast
      @ChinaHistoryPodcast Před 28 dny

      Oh man! What a mess! The whole reason is due to CZcams suddenly getting into the Podcasting business. Google can't seem to make up their mind about what they want to do with podcasting. Now they seem to be targeting CZcams as their primary podcast consumption app (as opposed to the Google Podcast App). I forgot when it was, late 2023 or early 2024) CZcams invited us to submit our RSS feeds to the platform. RSS technology is the simple solution that allows listeners to subscribe to podcasts and have them automatically delivered to their podcast App of choice. Up to this time I uploaded new episodes to this CZcams channel manually. Then once I submitted my RSS feed to CZcams, this automatically fed all the shows from my CHP, CSP, and THP podcast feeds to this platform. This basically doubled pretty much everything and frankly speaking, created a huge mess for me as far as trying to make sense of who listens to what. Thankfully I'm not in this for the money so what all this has done to ad revenue, I don't care. Sorry to make everything look so messy. One of these days I'll find someone who knows how to clean up the channel for me. Thanks for asking. And for listening.

    You should mention teas of all kinds have been around for longer than the teas we drink everyday these days... which is really what this vid and history is about.

      Yes, absolutely right. The native people who lived where the original tea garden naturally grew knew of tea long before it was "discovered".

      Such a great story. You should also check out Paula Williams Madison's book "Finding Samuel Lowe: China, Jamaica, Harlem". That's another great book that presents lots of great Hakka history.
