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.
I already did that 3-parter on The Tong Wars of NY Chinatown. But the CCBA, still on the list. I started working on it last year but got distracted or something. Mos def, coming one day.
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.
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast about what they learn, yes, but where they are --- no where near Asia. We are smack bang in it. I never realised how much that changes out culture.
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.
I know. I only got a nice long look inside once, but I'll never forget it. And indeed, I do feel fortunate to have had the chance. Thanks to my guide and friend 李明东.
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
The Record of the Grand Historian was pretty old. If this saying existed prior to that, I'm not aware. I hope you enjoyed it and my thanks for commenting so often on my channel.
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.
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?
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
Hi Angelica, glad you found me. I honestly have no idea how to do anything other than producing the audio. My show began (and still is) a podcast. Over the years I've sought out some help with my YT channel but had no luck. I haven't given up yet though.
Hello, I came past your comment as a stumbled upon this video as well. Being a visual learner makes a lot of sense! It is common to want an interactive source of learning. 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.
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
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.
Thanks Mr. Santos, I'm so glad you discovered my channel. I don't do much of anything to promote it. It's always my hope that good people such as yourself will manage to find it. Maybe with your help passing the word around, I'll reach 10 Million subscribers. Right now I'm shooting for 24,000. Thanks again Ben. Glad you liked this one in particular. I was actually having dinner at a place called Borneo Kalimantan in Alhambra, California when your comment came through. Over 300 hours of stuff on this channel. I hope you keep liking what you hear.
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.
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.
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?
There were so many books and academic papers that I used. But a few of the good books I'd recommend are: "A History of Tea: The Life and Times of the World's Favorite Beverage" by Laura C Martin, "Tea: History, Terroirs, Varieties" by Kevin Gascoyne, Francolis Marchand, & Jasmine Desharnais, "The Story of Tea: A Cultural History and Drinking Guide" by Mary Lou Heiss, "All About Tea" by William Ukers. My thanks to you Muttaki for taking the time to listen. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Oh man! What a mess! The whole reason is due to RU-vid 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 RU-vid as their primary podcast consumption app (as opposed to the Google Podcast App). I forgot when it was, late 2023 or early 2024) RU-vid 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 RU-vid channel manually. Then once I submitted my RSS feed to RU-vid, 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.
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.
Yeah, I always try and stick that in the description. I hope that you don't mind that I use lines from old pop songs and Beatle songs as the show titles. من بسیار سپاسگزارم که شنونده ای از کشور بزرگ شما دارم.
That's pure North Shore Chicagonese you're hearing. I hope you like the remainder of the series. Thanks, Alex for checking it out. My apologies if the intensity of the accent put you off. It's not for the squeamish.
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.
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.
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.
I am in my 4oth year doing one I-Ching on the Spring Equinox as a yearly practice. Doing this helps one learn the depth of the Hexagram and become aware of one's issues around the specifics. The "Lines" are the actual "Action" you apply during the year and the Hexagram is always the wisdom to observe as a practice. If you do not master it, you will eventually get it again at some point. The next hexagram or few hexagrams you get, will be pre-work on that I Ching before you get it again. A year long practice is quite indepth of becoming conscious of "you"
The qi4 气 concept parallels the Pre-Socratic Anaximenes (c586-c526 BCE) concept of pneuma (breath)/aer(air)/psyche (soul) which he thought of as the same substance.
Yes, in the sense that Dong Zhongshu convinced the emperor to make Confucianism mainstream. But Confucianism, you have to admit, isn't quite a religion in the way Christianity is.
