I forgot to upload this one to the CHP feed last week. 不好意思. Here's a good one from the Three Kingdoms Era in which we feature the famous story of Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang, and Qī Qín Mèng Huò 七擒孟获. Some people just can't accept defeat but in the end, they bow to the inevitable. Cao Pi of Wei thought he'd have some fun and employed Meng Huo to harass his enemy in the Kingdom of Han. That didn't go as planned. But Zhuge Liang sure seemed to enjoy it.

Hey Lazlow, there's a new Chinese podcast which is more centric on speaking to scholars on various topics of Chinese History (so far covering Military/political history) called 'The Chinese History Podcast' , I've enjoyed it throughly and with listening to your podcast for several years ,I've gotten a huge understanding of Chinese History thanks to your dedication to this area. Keep up the great work, I hope you will cover more parts to Chinese Poetry/Literature!
In tandem, your approach to Chinese History and not following a chronological order is why i also love the 'history of japan podcast' which also covers various topics of Japanese topics from political, social, economical, entertainment, philosophical/theological, etc..

Hello again, Oh Great Wise One! Yes, I've been listening to them since their inception. They're also located here in LA. This show isn't for beginners and like you said, is quite academic in its subject matter and presentation. The China History Podcast, The Chinese History Podcast, MODG (Master of Demon Gorge), The History of China Podcast, and the now-defunct The History of China. So many choices now. I'm sure as a lover of Chinese literature that you're a regular listener to Lee Moore's Chinese Literature Podcast and his new Podcast Taiwan. This program is a new collaboration between Dr. Moore and the National Museum of Taiwan. It focuses on Taiwan's literature, history, culture, and society. Check it out.

@@ChinaHistoryPodcast I'm not a fan of Chris Stewart Podcast 'History of China' as he doesn't list sources in the majority of his episodes up until the Sui/Tang dynasty and most of the earlier periods he was just reading off wikipedia blatantly. I tell others to avoid his series.
I've not come across Lee Moore's podcast, I'll have a look.
Also Professor Peter Adamson, host of the brilliant podcast 'History of Philosophy without any gaps' is now collaborating with Professor Karyn Lai on a mini series on Classical Chinese Philosophy that will run up to the time of Buddhism entry in China. Check it out, so far 4 episodes have been released.

@@thewisetzar5363 Yeah, I'm closely following Prof. Adamson's series. He's a true scholar and teacher (as opposed to whatever it is that I am).
