As a listener who is a Chinese, I just wanna point out that the lunar calendar actually has been used up until today, most people from outside big cities still base their birthdays on this lunar calendar, like all my family members do. It is a bit head-scratching to have to figure out which day your birthday would fall on every year but quite fun as well.
Yeah, a couple of my Chinese employees....we celebrate their birthday's here with a cake on the Gregorian calendar... and on their lunar birthday....we order in Chinese food for everyone. I have both hanging in my office.
I read all these comments and everyone seems know something, im just some dude that listens to podcasts while I clean lol! Good podcast!
Over 150 hours for you Ryan.....I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff you'll like. Thanks for checking it out. The later episodes are better than these early ones from when I first started....Thanks!
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast i looke forward to it. Thank you.
Then one jurisdiction level above Yuzhou is the famous Xuchang or 许昌, the last capital of the Easter Han dynasty, one of the power bases of everyone’s favourite villain Caocao from the three kingdoms period. The point is that my hometown is loaded with historical sites and legends, be sure to drop by and say hi if ever you happen to visit Henan.
BTW, my hometown is 禹州 which is known for being credited as the capital of Xia dynasty. You probably would’ve guessed why it is called Yuzhou because the allegedly the founder and first ruler of Xia dynasty is Yu the great and this is the city where he reined over the land.
😢
I think there was one King in Pre-Yin Shang period who was considered good. King Tai Wu...he was the 7th or 9th King. So far we only have stories from later historians, but there's little archeological items from his time.
Great stuff! Thanks!
Please also make a podcast series on korean and japanese history
On the To-Do List
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast can you do it within a month..my exams are approaching
@@MadihaKhursheedCHBIA Madiha, I'm so sorry. I don't think I'll be able to get to it this year. What kind of Korean and Japanese history do you need to cover?
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast no problem..
Even more interestingly, the town where I live is Shenhou or 神垕, the capital of the gorgeously delicate and beautiful Jun porcelain. As a matter of fact, my dad himself is a hell of a Jun porcelain researcher and artist.
Wow, you were born and raised in the most ancient part of China! I must look you up on my next 河南之旅!! I'm honored you checked out my work. My website is at teacup.media.
Is Xia pronounced sha or Jia? You pronounced it sha, shia?
One of those words with no exact English pronunciation. The X sound isn't an "s" nor an "sh".... it's somewhere in between.
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast Like しあ？
@@steve5123456789 I don't think you can transliterate in hiragana....し is still a "shee" sound. The X in pinyin (in Xia) sounds more like a hissing sound. The key is getting the Pinyin "X." Master that sound and you're there.
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast Okay, thanks! I'm enjoying the podcast, keep up the good work.
