I agree Manchu warriors are underrated, in fact my family has a very military history, with most of the males in my family being in the invasion of china and Mongolia, but I still think European knights are cool!
@@Batu22-c8s the Manchus were assimilated by the Han (Chinese), you don’t even know how to speak your own language and you forgot your written language
@@Batu22-c8s I have books on the Manchu language that are not in the public domain and I think I know more about the Manchu language and writing than the Manchus themselves
@@geminigeminos Yes, unfortunately most Manchus now speak mandarin Chinese, or Mongolian. But my family and other Manchu Families keep traditions alive.
I just realized that the words for my / your in Manchu is almost same with Turkic languages :0 Your - Sini (Senin / Sinin in Turkic) My - Mini (Benim / Menim / Minim in Turkic)
@@PerplexPrays Nurhaci is one of the greatest conquerors in the east, but lots of his victories are hidden by the Chinese government because chinese people cant deal with the idea of being conquered by 'barbarians' 🤣
Are we going to talk about how Qing had already lost all of Sakhalin (along with several other things) to Russia before sourhern Sakhalin was lost to Japan-
Qing had very little use of that land. Basically nothing there for most of history. He only claimed it when Nurhaci he united the Jurchens (Northern Haixi, Southern Jianzhou and yeren wild Jurchens). Remember that maps you see now are european depictions of what the Empire looked like, in the east they had different ways of declaring land ours.
In fact, the Manchu sinicization had already started with Kangxi Emperor when Manchu first colonized the whole China. At that time, Kangxi believed that using Manchu to govern China, which mostly uses Chinese, would be detrimental to the ruling regime. Moreover, Kangxi believed that the culture of the Central Plains of China was more advanced than his own Manchu culture. Therefore, although he was a Manchu royal family, he eliminated his own culture in order to integrate into China. At that time, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, except for the birthplace of the Manchus, which were probably located in today's Jilin and Heilongjiang, almost all Manchus could no longer speak Manchu. His behavior was often criticized by his Manchu peers at the time.
@kutwor5506 sorry to bother you, I just wanted to say the title of the song is " sasa gabtara ucun ". sasa means together. gabtara means shooting. ucun means song. saisa is actually a word completely unrelated with this song.
This is as good a place to say it as anywhere: as an adjective "Manchu" is for the ethnic group and things associated with the ethnic group, while Manchurian is for the region (= Chinese 東北). So, the Qianlong emperor was a Manchu, but not a Manchurian, because while he was of Manchu ancestry and spoke Manchu fluently, he lived almost all of his life in Beijing. Zhang Zuolin was a Manchurian, but not a Manchu, because although he lived all his life in Manchuria, he was of Han Chinese ancestry.
Similar with lots of Mongol Yuan dynasty emperors. Many (towards the end of the dynasty) never visited Mongolia, born in Beijing and raised in the palace. China, being a huge country therefore has a large (Han) culture. Smaller cultures like Mongolian or Manchu crumble at the heavy Han chinese culture, with philosophy and religion and other aspects of the Han culture, both which , unfortunately, Manchu and Mongol cultures lack (compared to Han). So when barbarians from the north invaded China, a very advanced Dynasty with a long history of large Empires and dynasties, the barbarians eventually grow to become Chinese people, living in a Chinese palace, speaking Chinese and living like a Chinese emperor. Basically the only thing that may be different is the title, for that they may call themselves 'Khan' or 'Khagan', but really they are just the emperor of China. Like in the Mongolian empire, they adopted many Chinese Song battle strategies and siege equipment. I am not trying to glaze the Chinese culture, I am both Manchurian and Mongolian, but it is true.
@@kutwor5506 actually, the jurchen tribes who were united to make the manchu identity were related to joseon. that's why their names are sort of similar.
@@PerplexPrays as far as i know, the manchus are a tungusic people, closer to the evenki natives of Krasnoyarsk Krai than to koreans, han chinese or mongols .
А ты её умеешь читать? Даже если и умеешь, как ты думаешь, умеет ли её читать большинство зрителей? А что если кто-то внезапно захочет петь? :/ Я всегда делаю в своих видео транскрипции, за исключением кириллицы, в связи её схожести с латиницей. К тому же маньчжурские письмо вертикальное, а в горизонтальном виде оно смотрится очень странно.
Although I appreciate your enthusiasm for the Manchu language, your assessment of the situation is incorrect, Manchu culture and language began to become assimilated into Han Chinese during the Qing dynasty, which was commented on often by Manchu emperors themselves, not in the People's Republic of China, in fact the CPC funds Manchu language schools and programs extensively, most anti-Manchu massacres and oppression occurred under the RoC dictatorship and the Japanese Empire which along with the already occurring gradual cultural assimilation into Han Chinese language and culture results in the unfortunate decline of Manchu today. And, no, Manchus do not want an independent state, many such notions are offensive to Manchus and Chinese people as they bring back memories of Japanese occupation
I am manchurian, and I agree with some things. Yes you are correct with the Chinese government starting Manchu lessons in china, in fact all of my cousins are going to them! But you must understand the Chinese cultural revolution. Many manchurian buildings, temples and statues were knocked down by the Han Chinese. The Chinese government also is constantly trying to spread more Han culture in Manchuria. Both of my parents come from a small village in manchuria, and many occasions the mayor 'KanjuKhan' gets in trouble for celebrating ancient manchurian/mongol festivals. The hunters of the village have also got in trouble before, for hunting to 'traditonally' ( they like to keep tradition Alive, so they usually hunt using bows and spears on horseback. With the independent country situation, you are partly right. Us Manchus don't want to experience what the Japanese did to us. Instead we wish to be like Scotland in the UK, linked with china but with it's own culture and traditional government. Most of us feel that china feels more like a westernised -russian country, and lacks all cultural traditions. I am impressed of your knowledge of Manchus tho 👍. Xuere kherli my friends!
@@Batu22-c8s It's funny you think Red Guards didn't have Manchus in them. Also Manchuria was most definitely a Han-Japanese state, the local Manchus were treated worse than the Han, the emporer was nothing but a puppet to be eventually removed. Westernised Russian country lacks all cultural traditions is it not because every traditionalist has proven to be weak in early Modern Chinese history?
@@lolasdm6959 yes of course the red guards had manchurians in it, but the communists disliked the manchurians as a whole for a very long time. We feel like our culture should be celebrated more and not slipped under the carpet of Han Culture. The Japanese treated everyone bad, even their own soldiers. Doesn't matter if your manchurian, Han, for from the Philippines, the Japanese will still treat you like shit.
@@Batu22-c8s Who told you the communists disliked the Manchurians as a whole? Han natioanlists disliked the Manchurians as a whole. CCP actively encourages anyone with known Manchu ancestory within 3 generations to legally identify as a Manchu. You can thank Mao for that. What do you mean your culture should be celebrated more? Celebrate it yourself, why should Han people celebrate your culture? If you don't celebrate Han culture no one cares about it. Japanese in particular never quite liked the Manchus, they are more into the "civilization vs ooga booga" narrative more than the Han Chinese. Did you know when a Ming general defected to the Qing with his 300 Japanese retinue, the Japanese would rather die than join the Qing? Also read about how a random Chinese warlord shot a Qing prince in Japan and was fined for 150 dollars. The Japanese accepted his reasoning that the gun accidently went off, shot a Manchu in the heart when he was polishing the gun. Lmao
