The IMPERIAL Foods Chinese EMPERORS Used to Eat 

@@arcni1213 me too lol

Chinese emperor has too many sons and daughters that only some of them can actually see their father. Different women (emperor has the right to mate every woman in China) give different babies, it really depends on the class of the baby's mother and the baby's gender to decide the fate of the baby. And also because almost every wife wanted their baby to become next empire so the wives tend to kill the sons of each others. Sons and daughters usually can't see the emperor but can see their mother everyday. For talented or high class sons, they will get very high education. In ancient China the more ignorant a woman is the more morally right she is. So the daughters of emperor's are usually uneducated. However, some daughters of the minions of the emperor can get very high education because sometimes they are also the teachers of the prince and other sons of the emperor. Punishment due to how bad the mistake is, or sometimes it's not their fault but their mother side relatives made some big oops, yeah the prince can be fired to a normal son or even get killed. As I said the emperors has too many offspring, so killing one or two is not a problem for him. There are a lot of Ancient Chinese drama show if you really want to watch and there are much more details in it. like 。。。

Dan Zhao wow and I thought my ancestors were cruel!!!

Holy crap, a fantasy series based on Chinese court dynamics would completely blow Game of Thrones out of the water. European intrigue was usually tempered by the involvement of the Roman Catholic Church, which was more than just a religious body- they were a huge socioeconomic force to be contended with. And they had a vested interest in keeping their flock- Europe- from destroying itself. China... had no such body. Worship was directed to the Emperor rather than an Almighty, which would only make competition for the throne more ferocious. Confucianism helped to make life more orderly, but still. China is a freaking huge country, so there you found greater poverty, greater wretched excess, and greater competition for a single goal: The Dragon Throne.

In keeping with the food theme, I definitely read how were royal 'chicken' raised

Dan Zhao Very well summarized! I have seen so many historical Chinese series and am too familiar with all of that. One of the cruelest empresses was Empress Lu(Liu bang’s main wife). She killed one of the concubines and her son which made her own son sick and made him die. Karma right there! Empress CiXi was another evil empress dowager too.

Ajegile..nyampe juga maen kesini 😁

mission complete

Does that mean you eat dog meat, dog eaters..

@@claudiavenus952 oh shut up you racist bum

@@matthew_733 Chinese eats dogs, it’s true.But what’s bad about eating it?Do you have to get mad about some entitled people who think they’re food is superior?What the Chinese eat is not a problem at all

@@user-sx5dj6eb5y they are being racist, they are stereotyping Chinese people

Sora and Dwight: She is Royalty for sure and remembers her past life. Oh no.. She my wife empress

American Chinese food.

It's kind of hard to find a Sushi bar not manned by fellow Chinese in my town. :3 Chinese or Indonesians.

sushi was actually invented by ppl living around Chinese and thailand border along the Mekong river

original sushi(fermented fish)was invented in china and sushi we know today is fresh fish(with soy sauce n wasabi) japanese ate fermented sushi but modified during edo period so now use fresh fish. but original sushi still is eaten in japan too.

Beautiful Oddity maybe it's because it's hard to actually celebrate your ancestors in the west when most of the traditional culture, stories, and more was destroyed by Christianity over a period of more than a thousand years where they killed off anyone with traditional knowledge, women, and rewrote histories and tales, supplanting traditional European culture with Jewish history, stories, and the Christian beliefs that came from the Catholic Church (as the Orthodox Church was mainly in Greece, Egypt, Eastern Europe, and eventually western Russian). And the Catholic Church changed things quite a bit once it was established and ran over the centuries. It was well known for wiping out ideas and old beliefs that challenged it's own for well over a thousand years. In a single generation the Chinese Communist Party wiped out an entire system of culture, learning, and philosophy from China that had lasted for more than 5000 years. (The Cultural Revolution under Mao) Now people raised within the CCPs walls are vastly different from their brethren who still practice traditional culture. If they can change things so much in a single generation, make an entire generation of people illiterate so they can 'simplify' the language and change the culture completely, what to you think that happens over 1000 years of a non-native religion forcing it's ways and influence over the traditional culture, stories, and beliefs of an entire continent? It's no wonder people don't feel connected to or proud of their heritage. Because many have no idea where to start to learn about their real heritage. Look at all the resurgences in interest in traditional belief systems. Like the Norse temples and Asatru practitioners, or the Druid orders, not to mention those who are drawn to other traditional systems because they have no idea how to connect with their ethnic past.

+Gwen: well said! Another obstacle (in Germany at least): if you show interest in these old traditions and believes, you'll sooner or later get the "Nazi stamp" on you (because "traditions are bad" or whatever they come up with), that's almost certain.

bonzai HB my family disowned me for turning away from Christianity for tradition. I had no idea that it was like that in Germany, but I know enough about history to understand why that is an issue. It's such a shame. Hopefully things will change with time.

bonzai HB its always the nazis isnt it :( people are so sensitive i swear. just because you celebrate german history, doesnt make you a nazi

Beautiful Oddity it's way more complicated than that. The Nazis went after occult knowledge and sacred relics from many spiritual traditions from all over the world. They planned to use military might and to twist sacred objects of power to their own means to control the world. So a backlash against certain traditional, occult, etc practices and values comes from that.

Laure M i was looking for this comment 😂😂😂

Aiko Yamada 😂😂😂😂 Desu ne ?? They where so fuckin cute but An Ling Rong was an idiot !

i really prefered Shen Meizhuang

Aiko Yamada Yes ! Shen Mezhuang was a really wise women... I hated when she was framed by Nian Shi Lan (Hua Fei) putted into house arrest when Liu Ben lied about her pregnancy ughhhhhh !

Laure M i also hated the way emperor behaved with her

KamikazeKid6199, your emoji shows a Japanese bento. Just saying. :)

J_K_Win that was only one emperor.

Yeah. Side effect is madness. And there were a few mad emperors.

coweatsman actually no, the side effect was death, and it was only Emperor Qin who drank the mercury elixir. Which killed him.

coweatsman: There still are....

Or they would behead you for trying to poison the emperor

Would taste strange. Too much sugar and fat. Would take some getting use to.

really? Have you had any real Chinese food? A lot of Shanghai cuisine have so much sugar it tastes like dessert and Sichuan cuisine literally drowns some dishes in chili oil. Sure, Chinese food tastes good, but I've never experience a more oil-soaked cuisine than authentic Chinese food.

Bao = Buns , Millets or lower type grains, pickled veggies and wild meat. IN the north they eat Dogs most of the time because the climate is cold and dog meat makes their body warmer.

Honestly we really take it for granted. One Doritos​ chip has more flavor than what a peasant would get in this dynasty in his whole life. 😂

whatever they could find... i think that's why they eat things that we in the west think are strange... like bugs and snakes...

Meats are rare in the peasantry cuisine back then. All I knew is most most ancient asian loves fish as well.

Cabbage, tofu, and dakons. Usually simply boiled in water and served with soy sauce.

Racist.

Troll

You mean Chinese culture or do you also mean turkish, russian, iranian, hindu, japanese korean etc. culture.?

Chinese culture. Not only Chinese are Asians.

I was told it was imperial, indeed that many chefs consider it the most expensive, and complicated dish they have ever made. But since, as they said, a lot of Imperial dishes started as common ones gussied up, it would not surprise me if there were two versions, one basic, one extra fancy. Certainly the recipie I have seen would require ingredients (such as deer tendon, young shark's air bladder and a kind of rare bamboo fungus) that would be beyond most commoners budget.

It was from Qing dynasty. 光绪 year

Sojoboscribe: See? That's exactly why most Americans wouldn't enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine. Tendons, bladders, noses, tongues, eyeballs, NO. If it's not muscle, and only of cow, pig or poultry, two-thirds of the U.S. won't touch it. The other third was probably raised in households that include more varied protein sources, and some people are just brave and adventuresome. Lots of cooking styles have been hybrided for American tastes: Mexican Italian, Chinese and German in particular (and probably others) have an American spin on them. In Mexico, tacos are rarely fried, and don't have lettuce, tomato and cold shredded cheese on them. Spaghetti and meatballs, nor Alfredo is found in Italy. No Orange Chicken or Beef n Broccoli served in China, and hamburgers hotdogs, beer and chicken fried steak as we know them are bastardizations of their original versions. Popular? Yes. Authentic? No.

Try and tell someone that, while there IS such a thing as hot and sour soup in authentic Chinese cuisine (or more accurately sour and peppery soup) it's supposed to have chicken blood in it. Half won't believe you and the other half will ick.

Roger Zhang please. People in the north ate dog all the time.

how can you eat dragons they are only mythical creatures

Wu Jiajia Komodo dragons exist.

Song Yang me too!

For a long period of time, no Tomatoes is a food from the New world

Dahlia Legacy Not necessarily. Emperors would be trained in horse riding, horseback hunting and military warfare in those days. It's their duty to stay fit and healthy to lead an empire for as long as they live (they don't end their realm before death). And if war breaks out, the Emperor would have to take lead as a warfare advisor alongside his military generals. They more or less need to train up to be both literate and physically fit, or what the Chinese would say, 文武双全。

Kathryne Scott Wouldn't be a problem, people usually don't care or don't notice. In China there are left handed people too!

It WOULD have been a problem way back when, when being left handed was considered a sign you were some kind of demon. And I imagine that some older members might still look askance. But the younger generation is more tolerant.
