FULL History of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Part 1 

Do you speak Chinese (汉语)? I imagine your strong accent impedes you - the way you say 漢 and other words is not accurate, sorry.

@@xuyahfish 没事，在英语视频中我觉得不用重视原来中文词的说法和声音，应为观众就是国外人，他们无所谓。

@@daveeygdoeschinese2546 did you purposely type in Chinese lol

@@daveeygdoeschinese2546 understandable have a great day

I think you mix Zhang Jue (Yellow Turban leader) with Zhang Rang (one of the 1o eunuchs)? Anyway, I'm not sure about it.

Same it is brilliant, a mix of evil and pride in one 😂

I've read the novel, but it's so much I don't remember much, this video has a really good summary: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-26EivpCPHnQ.html

It's so good, there's so many great quotes. Even with his ambition, and aspirations, I would love to have a conversation with Cao Cao. He was brutal, corrupted, but knew things.

The end of the han dynasty should be put around the end of three kingdoms era, at least officially.

Haha yes. The actual period of Three Kingdoms is actually a rather anti climatic stale mate between the 3, for some time. Most of the battles and fun stuff comes before the founding of Wei.

It's a shame Sun Jian got that honor jacked from him tho

I'm glad you could value out of it man :) The final part 6 is coming out soon, so get ready!

I turned on the bell so I won’t miss out.

So did you finish it?

Thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed it. I recently just finished part 6, the final. Check out the rest of this series and let me know what you think 🤗💫

Glad to have earned your sub bro. Looking forward to you watching the rest of the series. Im working on final, part 6 now.

On my 2nd watch now

Thanks so much man appreciate your comment very much - it makes it all worth it in the end. I absolutely love the Water Margin to. I worry though there wouldn't be as much of an audience for it compared to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If I do it I might make it a 2 part series max.

Thanks allot bro, I appreciate the comment :)

Unfortunately liu bei it was incompetent, he had guan yu Zhang FEI pang tong zhuge liang and despite all this once in 100 years characters he did not managed to establish anything significant, on the other side cao cao realize that unification will be achieved in the future and focused on his sons, liu bei instead has the dumbest son in the whole history of China Adu.

haha i know what you mean, it had mazing potential. it was around episode 50 i noticed the quality begin to dip and they literally copy and pasted clips of battle scenes haha. As far as the story focusing on Liu Bei, this is just going by the source material as Liu Bei was considered the good guy for a number of reason. I dont want to spoil my series but I strongly recommened you watch it through to the end (6 parts in total). You see Liu Beis character devolve from being the protaginist of the story to a twisted fallen heroby the end. This is the true meaning of the book. Part 5 is coming out in a few days and I promise you it's going to blow your mind. So get caught up, if you want just watch part 3 and 4 as its where in my opinion the story properly takes places.

Where can I stream these at?

@@truesalubriseraphiel8227 it's on youtube

@@chonglouis3615 ty brother looking forward to watching it, been a Three Kingdoms nut since the early 90s

@@truesalubriseraphiel8227 no worries! fyi the keyword should be 軍師聯盟 and 虎嘯龍吟

Thanks that means allot to me :3 The reason why you have to stop and review allot is because of my poor editing skills, sorry. When I made this video I was pretty new to youtube and didn't organise my thoughts well, so in the editing process and basically just stuffed a bunch of stuff together that really ought to have had more structure. Quality certainly gets better with each passing video though. Part 5 is finished and I'm just settling a content ID claim now but it should be out by tomorrow - hope you like it. I haven't seen it but I saw the trailer and it looks pretty interesting; I may check it out closer. Thanks for the comment.

Oh man I absolutely love that. 于是我怎么叫这个成语？

@@daveeygdoeschinese2546 "少不讀水滸, 老不讀三國

thanks allot man. In English you can type 'Romance of the three kingdoms eng sub 2010"

@@daveeygdoeschinese2546 thank you

imagine this would be like the breakup of the roman empire

or Guan Yu's epic beard

No worries, it was a pleasure making it. All the clips you see in this video are from the 2010 Three Kingdoms series. I'd highly reccomend you check it out on youtube, its really amazing.

just youtube Romance of the three kingdoms the show you see has 92 episodes their is also an animated version.

cheers buddy. the channels growing pretty fast, hopefully it can reach 1k soon. Show your friends 🤗

Thanks for your encouragment man, that means allot to me. I havnt heard of that version of the book before but I researched it just now and it seems interesting. I know there are allot of Japanese in Brazil, do you think the Japanese version of the Three Kingdoms is the more known of the various versions out there? Moss Roberts translation is the one I read to, but I feel like allot of the flavour is lost in translation. If you get a chance watch the 2010 version of the 3 kingdoms series, thats the footage im using now as I found the acting and story telling very compelling. Bro Id appreciate that so much. Ive just sent you a dm on instagram

@@daveeygdoeschinese2546 I've just answered, there. Thanks.

Hey thanks allot for the support, I'm browsing eBay right now for one :D

@@daveeygdoeschinese2546 Oh Nice. Are you aussie? You sure sound like it. I live in NZ

@@michaeldengg Oh sick yeah! We are neighbours, how did you know haha :P

Done and done, thanks for the suggestion and the sub

@@daveeygdoeschinese2546 thank you. I did subscribe

Haha thanks man, I'm glad you were able to get value out of it. Yeah, unless you grew up in China, there's almost no exposure to the depth of Chinese history. The language and culture gap between east and west is still really vast which is why you find so little in depth material about this kind of stuff - so I really hope to make to contribute to this niche.

Yeah bro! Check it out. Type into youtube three kingdoms 2010. It will come up with the series I used to make this video. It's super interesting -- I highly recommend watching :)

Watched it years ago and totally forgot about it. So good!

hey thanks so much for the correction man. I was honestly worried I'd get the narratives of the book and the tv series mixed up considering I watched the tv series about 3 times and only read the book once haha. but yeah your right i remember now that the tv series definately played up the dramatic elements at the expense of the original source material; in fact i remember allot of people complained about the 2010 series for that reason despite its popularity. thanks for the comment 😁

@@daveeygdoeschinese2546 No probs! I only read the book once too so I'm never sure which is which. Still love this series though, warts and all

It's called Thee Kingdoms (2010)

Thanks bro, hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Final part 6 is coming soon.

You can find the show by the title "Three Kingdoms".

@Soviet Biscuit i know there was one channel that uploaded daily episodes but it was removed

Actually you can watch it on RU-vid. Just look up Three Kingdoms each episode is broken up into 4 parts. The episode number and which part of the episode will be in the description.

@@johnciol9108 thanks man

I'm not an expert in Chinese history, but... Liu Bei and Cao Cao had been enemies towards the end of Cao Cao's life; but things were more complicated before that, with Liu Bei even serving as a subordinate to Cao Cao in the 190's. Starting with the "Records of the Three Kingdoms," written by Chen Shou in the late 3rd century, I don't think there was any Chinese tendency to portray Cao Cao as a major villain of the period... until about 900 years later, as the development of Chinese opera started to do so, around the time of the Mongol conquests. In turn, the "Romance" novel took many of its inspirations from those Chinese operas. Really, the classic history of the time had been written by a loyal servant of the Jin (Sima family) emperors. And insofar as he was putting a spin on things, he wanted the Sima family to be the "legitimate good guys," including when they were serving Cao Cao and his family; that the Cao family had been legitimate Emperors, whereas the Liu family of Shu Han and the Sun family of Wu had not been truly Emperors; and that the Sima family had seized power only when it was apparent that they were much more competent than the increasingly less fit members of the Cao Wei dynasty. In formal Chinese historical scholarship, the "Records" are taken as genuine history; while the stories of the "Romance" and Chinese opera (etc) are understood as fictionalized accounts.

@@anonymousturtle8562 thank you for this my friend :)

They still do. And people who run business here still worship him, as the blade means "sharp" which is 利, the word can also mean "profit". Usually they will have the blade facing directly to where the customers are coming in.

Guan Gong is highly respected. By many around the world, myself included.

haha glad you enjoyed. Yes I am a Liu Bei fan boy but keep watching man, I'm on the same page as you. I know he changes and towards the end of his life he essentially just embodies another warlord like the rest. I personally think this is one of the crux character developments of the story.

Thanks man glad you liked it. For sure. 三国演义 对 三国志

Actually I found the opposite. If you type in three kingdoms into youtube basically all the videos are about the history.

This is 2010 series called Romance of the Three Kingdoms
