Wu Zetian just did what any man would do, but cuz she was a woman she got the infamy for it. In any case she was an icon, one of the most interesting historical figures imo

[@shalinitiwariscorner5210]

People call men who kill their rivals as " warriors" & "conquerors". But when women do the same under valid circumstances, they call them " evil women". Because we are so obsessed with the domesticated, submissive and infantile version of women that we can't even think of them as shrewd, ambitious, unapologetic and untamed. Patriarchy in a nutshell !

[@nweni24]

Proving that education is the most valuable investment

[@deyayona]

Powerful people tried to re-write history, still 1000 years later, the original story exists. 😄😄 And its fascinating to hear such an interesting story. This reminds me of a dialogue in HP movie "what happened in the dungeon is a secret. So clearly the whole school knows."

[@Lululuke1980]

Too bad we Twitter erased Donald Trump’s tweets …. They are gold for historians in the future

[@melodic_ocean]

I am a woman so I love that you talk about powerful women in those times when men ruled the world, I will be waiting for more stories of this type. Liu E has the special things about her, like coming from such a humble origin and becoming empress, but Wu Zetian also has this nice thing about having been the only emperor of China.

[@lalla3625]

wow! from being sold by your husband at the age of 15 to being the second most powerful empress in chinese history!

[@ealhyacohen-lorente5640]

Shows you the power of education ! Wish scriptwriter would actually write something this good 😂

[@NathalieO]

That would be epic!

[@Tomodachi91ve]

I like this new series, thank you! I love this 2 women, but Wu Ze Tian, is still my all-time favorite hehe

[@pinkgoldpeach51]

Queen Xochitl of the Toltecs is cool too

[@vilena5308]

There are two narrators I can listen forever, easily keeping my focus and remaining curious - my father and you.

[@lilyTlily]

Very interesting story. Thanks for sharing the reality. Hope a good script writer will pick up and write a story about her. Keep these videos coning.

[@xOrdinaryNerdx]

This is such an interesting and amazing story that I somehow never heard of despite the many dramas I've watched. Liu E's story is amazing and its own way, so incredible.

[@Am4ii]

Wow! That was amazing to hear. I watch a lot of cdrama but really know zero knowledge to Chinese history. Probably why I’m not bother with historically inaccuracy or to ignorant to notice but I get really fascinated with the story whatever the genre. When I watched ADOS I was really fascinated with the story about the king and his empress and now knowing it was based on someone else in real life is just mind n blowing.

[@MrYevelnad]

Why don't they adapt it into a drama. Seems like a very good story with a happy ending.

[@stellaG_luna]

Such an interesting woman and such an interesting life. Thanks for telling us the story of her life, really liked the video 🥰❤️

[@dhianaanggraeni8597]

After seeing all of your videos of ADoS, I think ADoS is the top list of the nicest Cdramas in 2022. There are many interesting things in ADoS's storyline & its aspects. Since I like a lot Cdrama which has a historical background, even only it's a bit or not 100% precisely like the real story. Thank you so much, Avenuex for sharing with us the Chinese historical background which based the ADoS's script.

[@carolthomas1446]

I do love this segment, very informative and entertaining. You are an excellent story teller!

[@abbymelcoffee1813]

Very informative… I always thought the 狸猫换太子 story was true somehow lol

[@luciddd1943]

Thank you so much for this segment, you are actually an amazing story teller and I'm glad more and more people are discovering you these days!!

[@carencoreysugimura9084]

Thank you!!! Looking fwd to more historical drama vs reality. So interesting!!!

[@barbarabadams2071]

Really enjoyed this episode. Thank you.

[@LidiaScherArt]

Thank you so much for this video! The history is fascinating

[@geringuyen7989]

Another wonderful video. Thank you!

[@gingermintrose]

I learned so much from your videos. Amazing storytelling.

[@elen1112ep]

I like the historical background that you presented. Thank you I learned a lot! You and your historical costume are pretty :)

[@siewlingoh6422]

.I am so engrossed in your story. History come to life. Thank you

[@melindamucsi]

Thank you for making this video! :)

[@cassien4245]

Thank you so much for this. Really appreciated.

[@cau8365]

Thank you so much for the video. Most interesting insight. Please more of these type of video on historical people.

[@isabelmartinezz]

I love all your videos. I learn a lot, you speak so clear, you make me to want to know more abour China history.

[@wollevy2328]

I wrote a long brilliant comment but accidentally erased it. Loved the story and your look! Love you, Tom

[@coderkitten]

Loving this series, please keep doing it!

[@naleenidas8444]

Wow! That's quite a tale! Too bad it wasn't made as official version of ancient Chinese history though.

[@varsharajput2717]

Ancient history is always so fascinating....INDIAN here...loved the way u told the story ❤️ BTW why is there no drama made as her in the leading role??? Or is there??

[@user-rchannels]

This series continues to be so interesting! Looking forward to the next installment

[@onka33]

Thank you for a very interesting story, nicely told 👍🧡

[@noviben_]

I'm early 🥰 You're such a good storyteller. It's okay if you let this video 2 hours long What an incredible journey Liu E had

[@bapyongukgukguk2352]

The actress of Liu E in ADOS is really good ! She played such a mature and powerful woman so well !

[@user-rp4om8cr3n]

What a great comeback, he sold his wife and she became an empress. But why are the favored empresses/concubines always barren?

[@aiakumu3579]

Not always, Wu Zetian wasn't.

[@user-rp4om8cr3n]

@@aiakumu3579 true

[@Novichevich]

So in The Serenade of Peaceful Joy her character was played true to historical reality.

[@bibobebulol]

i love this section of videos!!👌👌 can you make like a empire/ancient kingdom difference in Asia such as China or Japan, it would be interesting tooo☺️☺️

[@wollevy2328]

Thanks for this very interesting historical series. I hope there will be many more to come. I have just finished reading about Empress Wu so it was interesting to watch your excellent video about Empress Liu E. Both were fascinating women who obviously were also very attractive to men. I would like to hear a story where an ugly woman was very successful in ancient history political life. It has happened in modern times {Golda Meir in Israel), but not too often. If ugly men can make it, why not ugly women? That would be true equality. (Although there are some ugly women at lower levels in U.S. politics)......I really enjoyed your history lesson and will keep an eye out for this series.

[@siewchinggoh5773]

i know very little of history but i totally enjoy your insight into Chinese drama and how it does/does not 🙂 reflect the course of history.

[@minjilover]

Well I can tell history didn't managed to find out her actual name because such records are often times intentionally destroyed or hidden away for various reasons... This is the very reason why official records are never accurate or overly beautified as the people having access to it might have been tampered for their benefit. Even imperial medical records can be altered so it's nothing surprising that it is difficult to source for the entire accurate history...

[@annmarielyons73]

AvenueX thanks for that indepth history lesson I enjoyed it immensely . AvenueX can you trace your family position from among any of the dynasties If that's possible❓

[@rosannastark620]

Oh my god u look so good with this color

[@NomadicCreator]

Thank-you for this! Great to know!! Are these individual stories found in regular history books? Where do we find such unique finds if not?

[@NomadicCreator]

Need to quickly crash this video to mention the just released Immortal Samsara. Does anyone else think that it might as well be a reimagined Love and Redemption?! Only Crystal Yuan is missing, 😂. One might think about changing the cast a bit more when trying to tell a different story,🤦‍♀️.

[@chitru1983]

We need a Wu Ze Tian episode. Please?

[@mercyklinesantos]

Love Ancient history it’s very fascinating ❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@friedagirik7897]

Thankyou 😊

[@sandrito]

Very cool!

[@lulu8lala8haha]

好喜欢你的装束！

[@someone-ec2ku]

can you do the next vid about wu zitian she seems so intresting

[@chickwit2575]

I'm really enjoying this series. I'd like to request similar episodes on Empress Ki (korean drama. I know you're a fan of the ML in that drama, so am I!) and Step Empress Ula Nara.... I think their story must be very interesting as per real history 👌🏽👌🏽

[@baceicly502]

Her life is so interesting I wish someone actually does a good job in portraying her life

[@linxiaoxiaopd]

Hello ! Do you watching "A legendary life of queen lau"? I think you will be very interesting!

[@Helloboi56]

Hi, can you recommend historical drama based on true events?

[@chickennerd2085]

Sister, if only you did live streaming watching together.. ive been bored i wanna watch some drama but for some reason i have no will to watch some.. it would be interesting to watch together and and also watching you comments about some scene.. 😮‍💨

[@mercyklinesantos]

Thank you 👏👏❤️❤️🇨🇦

Interesting.

哈哈😃，这里找一个中文评论可真难呀……

[@naleenidas8444]

Having finished Dream of Splendour recently, I do note that though the 3 women repeatedly project themselves not as entertainers for noble men who frequent these kind of flower houses but just as dancers & musicians, their tea-house & eventual grand opening of a restaurant didn't have women frequenting it? In which case, it kind of confirms that it is merely a playground for men only to ogle these women without the presence of their family? These 3 women didn't make much of an effort to include other family members to dine at their restaurant, did they?

[@JennixPenni]

I noticed that too! But I also think it’s a patriarchy society so women probably didn’t hAve the money to spend.L

[@naleenidas8444]

@@JennixPenni Yes, but then again why couldn't take their women along? Was it taboo?
