  • 📜 The Three Kingdoms: Yellow Turban Rebellion - Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu--these were the men who would define the Three Kingdoms period. Even though the actual history of this period is often conflated with the events of the historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was still a lot of compelling drama and intrigue we can explore--let's delve in to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which really did happen!
    This series is brought to you by Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, a brand new strategy game set during this time period. store.steampowered.com/app/77...

    “What a wonderful time to be alive!”
    “Hey, the Yellow River flooded again and destroyed all of your crops... and also, we’re being raided by nomadic tribesmen...and also, this period of Chinese history may be entirely mythical, so you may not even exist.”

      busi magen That’s completely beyond the point and irrelevant. This video is not an advanced Mandarin pronunciation lesson, nor does it even feature Chinese phonemes on the more complicated side, for that matter. There is no way that most of the world, which of course contains Indo-European speakers, cannot pronounce the “ts” phoneme as it is pronounced in the name Cao Cao-not “kao kao”, not “tao tao”, but “tsao tsao”. It is one of the most common phonemes in all languages. That’s an example of bad pronunciation that literally has no excuse. Any half-assed Google search for the right pronunciation should have prompted you to pronounce it competently if not fluently. Instead, from the way the narrator pronounced it, he almost had to have gone out of his way to purposefully learn a wrong pronunciation to get it wrong so bad-that, or, as I suspect in most cases with most Western narrators, he was simply too lazy and used the excuse of “hard language to pronounce”.

    Why does Liu Bei hold a halberd? I think you may have mistaken him for Lu Bu. In the novel, Liu Bei uses a pair of long swords.
    Technically, Cao acted with or I would even say under Yuan Shao after the coalition for the quelling of the Black Mountain Bandits, against Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. Only when he gained the control over the imperial court, Cao goes on his separate way from Yuan Shao, but even then he had to appease him by giving him a higher court rank than his.

      Well, if we're talking about the actual history, below is something from the South Song Dynasty Annotations to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, 《äș‘ćˆ«äŒ ă€‹Records on Zhao Yun.
      During the battle of Changban, when Zhao Yun charged into the Wei army, the Records on Zhao Yun had this to say: ć…ˆäž»äč‹èŽ„有äșș蚀äș‘ć·ČćŒ—ćŽ»è€…ïŒŒć…ˆäž»ä»„æ‰‹æˆŸæ“żäč‹æ›°ïŒšć­éŸ™äžćŒƒæˆ‘è”°äčŸ! The late lord retreated, and when someone said Yun has went North (gone over to Wei's side), the late lord threw his hand-halberd at the speaker, saying: "Zi Long will not leave me!".
      The hand halberd was about the same size as a one-handed Norse battle axe, usable for both close combat and throwing. Liu Bei, however, like most commanders, would've most likely used a spear or a full-sized halberd on the battlefield. He would've definitely had a sword, but just as a symbol of status, as Chinese swords (jian) were rarely used practically on the battlefield.

    Just to add in. Emperor Ling's "older brother"(the General against the eunuchs) was actually He Jin, the older brother of Empress He aka the Emperor's consort. Dong Zhuo was actually "invited" by He Jin and Yuan Shao to the capital to kill the eunuchs, though after He Jin died, he had plans on his own.
    After his death, Dong Zhuo's corpse burned for several days when lit, because of the amount of fat he had.

    Love this episode:
    I am actually glad that the coverage gave Sun Jian the credit he deserves, he was quite a daring commander, unfortunately a lot of his achievements were retroactively accredited to Liu Bei's band.
    2 quick little points: Cao Cao did not declare his faction as wei just yet. I know a lot of works describe the era by labeling Liu Bei as ruler of Shu, Sun Quan as ruler of Wu, and Cao Cao in turn as the ruler of Wei. But he never dared to depose the Han Emperor and elevate himself in their stead (seeing the bloody results for Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu) instead he ruled as the chancellor of Han and the power behind the throne. It was only after Cao Cao died that his son Cao Pi did away with the pretense and declared the kingdom of Wei and retroactively put his father as the ancestor of the royal dynasty.
    Another is that Dong also killed the 1st young emperor (Emperor Shao) he laid his hand on

      Cao Cao did established a feudal kingdom within the Han called Wei. Which was a big no-no at the time since only the Liu family can be feudal kings. That was as far as he can do to be the emperor without really abdicating the emperor and incur the wrath of everyone.
