Fascinating series. Thanks for taking the time to research and post it.

Don't you mean Part 16?

Taiwan and Penghu are leftover issues from World War II. See Treaty of San Francisco. At the time, the U.S. government helped the Chinese Nationalist Party (Republic of China), which had been defeated in the Chinese Civil War, escape to Taiwan, which was then a Japanese colony. Look at Formosa betrayed. Formosa is the original name of Taiwan. After the Chinese Kuomintang came to Taiwan, it still maintained dictatorial rule, but moved towards democracy under pressure from the United States, and the Taiwanese entered the Republic of China to fight for their rights. The Chinese who lost their privileges in Taiwan united with the People's Republic of China to steal Taiwan and Penghu.

Thank you for all these fascinating lectures! Btw I didn't realise until recently you had your lectures on EU4 music player, a game I spent too much time on. They should really get you back for EU5 aka Project Caesar. Cheers

so is there a yu dynasty too?

This was AWESOME! Loved it.

Very remarkable. As a Chinese American working in research tech I fear history might repeat itself.

Thank you Alice! So informative

This was such a chaotic era. I'm glad I can listen to this podcast because I was looking desperately for sources about the warlord era.

Not sure if you’ve addressed it, but recent testing have shown the earliest Tarim mummies to have zero “IE” DNA (despite the material culture developed over time via trade) but rather “ANE” or Amur ancestry most similar to the Slab-Grave Culture. The Afanasievo or proto-Tocharian component that’s been much publicized is localized to the Dzungarian graves to the north.

Really glad to see you uploading more to this playlist.

western watcher here, can you put timelines into context more with what's happening around the world.

The CCP was apparently like a rat that always somehow got away everytime someone tried to get it.

I checked out their podcast, their series on Tencent was very interesting. The suggestion is much appreciated. Will certainly be listening to more of their episodes.

Personally studying Silat of Indonesia and I have found it very mysterious and frustrating with no written syndication..be believe the same for Chinese MA..non regulated 📙

This entire subject is in Flux and unsanctioned 🤔

Greetings..history student and open minded...🙏

What u talking about this stuff is riveting, enlightening even.

I would like to tell you, I don't know about that Bridge over river Kwai and Thai-Chinese were being force to so do, in history class in Thailand we were teach that the America prisoner did it.

My favorite Chinese dynasty was the Song for its discoveries, like in the Dream Pool Essays, for example. Philosophy also seems to be renewed then, too.

At timing 22.05, the narrator mentioned "... Hollywood yellow face...". This is outright Racist and bigotry.

When you gonna make a video about the tongs and benevolent organizations in chinatown and how they work structurally

Wow! How different Americans are. I went to primary school in South Australia in the 1970's and we mainly learnt about Sth East Asia and went to beautiful food and music festivals that would come to our city on school excursions. It was a very special memory. We made Batiks and all sorts of SE Asian things. I loved that time at school, i can still hear the gongs and bells and dance.

I always loved the works of Su Dongpo and recently found the Slender Gold calligraphy of Huizong. I didn't expect that the two had such strong opinions of one another.

@18:00 the mention of Daoist thoughts on the governments role in connection with Anarchist thought is interesting.

Great podcast

“To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace” that is fuckn great

You are so fortunate to have visited this place. It has since been demolished and the new generation like us would not be able to visit.

Is this the first known recorded instance of it being used? I feel like "overconfident army will meet disaster" is something that is used all the time in retelling of Chinese History that I never before even considered it to be a saying. Anyway... Putin may be confident, but it seems he found many horses at the frontier

My favorite story of the Zhuangzi is The Outer Chapters, The Full Understanding of Life Chapter 10. It takes a dig at Confucius as Confucius thinks there is a man about to drown in the cataracts of Lu Gorge where actually the man was practicing literally going with the flow and thus mastering swimming in the waters instead of struggling against the swirling and raging currents.

Just discovered your works on tea here. Happy to know that you mention Lu Yu's relationship to Yan Zhenqing 顏真卿 and the lexicon Yunhai jiangyuan 韻海鏡源, Ocean of Rhymes, Mirror of Sources. Glad to learn that you note the Xu Chajing 續茶經, Sequel to the Chajing, by Lu Tingcan 陸廷燦. My biography on Lu Tingcan was published in the November 2019 issue of Global Tea Hut magazine. Please leave me a message as a comment here, if you wish to make my acquaintance. Thanks.

I find white tea really nice for hangovers but I like pu erh more than white tea

Great job! I am reminded of my first trip to China, a business trip, having finished reading about half of Robert's History of China in the airport and on the flight to Shanghai. 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?

Thank you for that! 谢谢🙏

Greetings mr. Montgomery. Nice to heard your voice again.

Fantastic podcast, shared with my students

New subscriber. I happened upon another of your podcasts. I am a visual learner and would greatly appreciate a map of the area of China, region, you speak of in your storytelling. Thanks

Wanli emepor turn away from governing because of the succession crisis(国本之争) absence from daily briefing was his way of protest against the bureaucrat that try to force him to name his first son as crown prince, Wanli emepor still very active during his 3 great military campaign

thank you very much, great episodes

I would suggest talking to a podcast marketeer company👍

So do you aspire to be the Victor David Hanson on Chinese History ? - you could probably do it 😁

23K subs and 0 comments ? That was once called TV. 🤣

This man just creates gold bars whenever he speaks and puts them on CZcams.

I recently discovered your channel 2 months ago and absolutely love the channel. I hope you share more Chinese and Asian history sir. You deserve 10 million subscribers by the amount of effort with the richness you rightfully obtained with said knowledge.

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.

Hi this is Muttaki. I was m studying tea relations and I am curious to know about the cultivars of tea and what influences such stark difference in the cultivars. Can you kindly suggest some of your sources you used?

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

very nice, i knew Kong Rong but never heard this story. by the way im learning chinese so i have to thank you for including Pinyin and hanzi in the description. awesome stuff many thanks from Iran.

I can't get enough of this channel!
