It is also worth noting that the Qing dynasty didn't destroy the Ming dynasty. The Ming empire had already fallen (in the north) by the time they invaded. Li Zicheng's rebellion had conquered Beijing where he proclaimed the Shun dynasty, and after Li's troops killed Chen Yuanyuan, the favorite concubine of Ming general Wu Sangui, he rebuked the Shun and let the Manchu cross the Great Wall so that they could destroy Shun. Li Zicheng led his formidable army to defend against Wu's and the Manchu forces at Shanhai Pass, but lost the battle, after which Beijing was open to the advancing Manchu who then proclaimed the Qing dynasty.

Exactly!!!!!

Very good introduction. I am a Hong Kong student and i studied Chinese History as it is one of my main subjects. You are so good at sumarizing the things happened in different dynasties but you should make more video explaining why some dynasties are short/long and why they split then reunified.(Although i know the reasons).Thats good for people that are interested in Chinese History.Thanks.

One small sweet thing to add to what Sal says about the word "Han" (汉）： It also gets used with the meaning "fella" or "guy." A 好汉， hao han, might be a good guy, or it might fade off into having a Mafioso sort of flavour to it...

Hope you will explain why people should use Dongbei (Northeast region) instead of Manchuria in later videos

[@weaj_]

It's just the exonym used for the English language, that's like saying we should say "Zhonguo" instead of China

Annam is Vietnam today, why is it on this list of Chinese dynasties ?

[@irenedeneb3500]

Vietnam's history begins as the southermost state of Nanyue during the Warring States Period. It was originally a vassal of the Zhou kings, and the modern name of Vietnam, which is derived from Dai Viet, is directly related to the name of Great Yue.

[@fatihkull4857]

Word of 'HAN' is especially used in Turkic emperor application like Mete HAN, Atilla HAN, Oguz KHAN, Fatih Sultan Mehmet HAN, Kanuni Sultan Suleyman HAN and more more. So Han is Turkic application. And Qin means in Turkic (Kün) in English Sun. I think North of chinese dynasties were releated in Turkic dynasties. Soon we will se that true and You call pyramit is kurgan. Kurgan is a grave for afterlife in GokTengri believing. In Kurgan there are king horse, belongings, their treasure and him army(made of clay / Terrscotta army is look like Turanic/Turkic people not chinese) even him wife. I think chinese has a big secret.

[@sagendobi446]

Fatih Kull . Are you Turkic if so you are fake Turkic with no Turkic blood but rather Arab and European blood. Look Chinese people were very similar to proto Mongols and Turkic nomad before they started any Dynasty .

[@boxyyy7329]

eh, no offense here. In Chinese there are 2 letters with same pronounciation. 汉 and 汗，the first one is Han Chinese, the second one is usually combined another letter which is 可. 可汗 means khan.

[@johnnyd6953]

@@sagendobi446 Chinese and Turkic are different, but Turkic (and Mongol) is a mix of Chinese and Siberian genetically. Chinese, even northern Chinese, have very little Siberian blood. Actual Siberians like Yakut and Nganasan were just small hunter-fisher groups. Therefore it's much more likely that the linguistic similarity is from Chinese influencing proto Turkics.

[@yongqi1907]

@@johnnyd6953 “漢”Han means Galaxy in ancient Chinese. The Han Dynasty originated in a river named Han, so it is the Han Dynasty
