THE RISE OF THE YUAN DYNASTY - MONGOL CONQUEST OF CHINA

After the Mongol conquests of Asia, the immense Mongol empire fragmented into many different states. In China, the Yuan dynasty, a sinicised Mongol state, would be founded by Genghis Khan's grandson, Kublai. In this documentary, I explain how the Mongols conquered China and the Song dynasty, and how the Yuan dynasty came into existance.

Han Fei Zi (韓非) once stated: "If a ruler can get rid of private crookedness and promote the public law, his people will become secure, and his state will become well ordered"

[@SilverCorvidsMARKETING]

Han Fei Zi, also known as "Chad Confucius".

[@riza-2396]

@@SilverCorvidsMARKETING Han Fei Zi invented legalism. Confucius and his teacher Lao Zi(or Lao Tzu, the Zi or Tzu is the same as cius in the word Confucius) believes humans are naturally born with kindness, but Han Fei Zi believes human are naturally born with evil within, law must be enforced to keep the order of the society. Because of this, Lao Zi's believers are Taoist who religiously believes any movement in the world should flow naturally, smoothly and effortlessly, people don't need to struggle to work hard for unnatural project like building the Great Wall. This leads to anarchism, they believe just like how cowboy isn't forcing but guiding the herd of cattles, the cowboy isn't forcing the cows to do something, the cows move freely, the cowboy just vaguely guide them. So these people thinks the lord(king/emperor) should also act like the cowboy, only acting as a shepherd to vaguely guide people, leaving most of freedoms to the people so they choose what they want to do by them selves freely. They are usually anarchists. Confucianism works with traditional culture and morality to rule people with moral. It's more rules compared to Taoism. But Legalism is totalitarian police state, every follow the extremely strict and cruel laws.

Accordingly to later Chinese Ming-dynasty record, the name Yuan 元 was first used in 1260, by Kublai Khan, took from famous Chinese book 易經 “大哉乾元” 。It is a tradition almost all 24 Chinese dynasties used, for the last two thousand years, from the same Ancient book of 易經 (I Ching). It is an established procedure to claim the legitimacy as new ruler of China, so to speak.

[@jenmb2679]

Thanks for elaborating. Im watching Marco Polo on netflix and i was confused when he said "yuan dynasty" and when Kublai says he is the great Kahn of Kahns and i am your Kahn

[@mathersmarshall8235]

Also, yuan dynasty compiled the "history-record book" for the dynasty before it(song dynasty). The act is also a tradition of Chinese dynasties. And their systems, habits and customs on many aspects are based on Chinese dynasties.

[@mathersmarshall8235]

@@jenmb2679 With respect to the difference between Mongol Empire and yuan dynasty, "History of the World: Every Year" on KZbin is a nice video to illustrate it. We can say "they are totally different because the former had died when the latter established" but can also say "the latter was a subset of the former". Generally speaking Mongol Empire split into pieces and one of them were yuan dynasty. So emperors of yuan dynasty are leaders of China and also leaders of Mongol Empire(so called great Kahn, meaning the leader of Kahns in Mongol) nominally because other pieces owned considerable autonomy .

Just a few clarifications on the Mongol pronunciations: The name "Mongke" is pronounced more like "Munk" and "Ariq Boke" like "Areeq Bohe" in the Mongolian language. Your pronunciation of Khublai was pretty close. When Mongolian people say the name, they pronounce it like, "Hu Bu Lay". The ones you used here are closer to the Chinese pronunciation of Mongke and Ariq Boke, as well as occasionally the western pronunciation of Khublai, which is understandable to make it easier for people to follow; not putting a knock against you or anything like that. Overall though, another solid video. Keep up the good work!

[@History_of_China]

Thanks for your comment! This was definitely a first for me, cause I never studied Mongolian contrarily to Chinese. I'll try to improve for the upcoming vids :)

[@YuuSHiiiN]

@@History_of_China No problem, man. It's pretty normal for most people to be unfamiliar with the Mongolian pronunciation unless they've been to Mongolia or know someone who is ethnically Mongolian and speaks the language. It was the same for me before, until I visited Mongolia and learned it from a native Mongolian friend who lives and works there. On a side note: Mongolian is extremely difficult to speak fluently and correctly pronounce a lot of the words unless you're a native speaker of the language.

Unfortunately, nothing was said about the long war with the descendant of Kaan Ogedei - Haidu Khan. But he had his own large khanate, which occupied half of modern Mongolia, East Turkestan and most of the former Chagatai ulus of the Mongol Empire (now the territory of the Central Asian republics of the former USSR). Khaidu did not recognize Khubilai as a kaan and claimed the throne in Karakorum until 1303. The war with him was very difficult for Yuan and, in fact, a losing one during Kublai's life.

no. the chinese territory today is due to the Qing dynasty. after the yuan fell, china only controlled the chinese heartlands and bits of manchuria(they did the control of whole thing out to siberia but only for a small amount of time). Ming china lost control of Xinjiang, tibet and mongolia(or rather never conquer it in the first place). Qing china, assimilated Mongolia and reconquered tibet and xinjiang, they also retook taiwan. the republic of china would then lose control of outer mongolia but kept control of xinjiang. tibet would be de facto independent but never actually declare independence. the PRC would then win the civil war and take over all the former RoC areas except taiwan. and of course they also retook de facto control of tibet.

About 色目人 se-mu-ren as "people with multi-colored eyes": it is a common mistake. The fact is that in this combination of hieroglyphs they are not translated literally (色目 - "multi-colored eyes"), but are translated according to similar combinations of Chinese terms of the 12-14 centuries. And then these signs (色目) conveyed the meaning of "all sorts, all kinds, others." Therefore, this category of Yuan people meant "all kinds, other (than the Mongols), people".
