The Xia, while not having any archeological evidence, is now seen to be most likely real due to how sophisticated the Shang was. It wouldn’t make much sense that nothing came before the Shang. By the way a traditional Chinese farmers hat is not the conical one you see. That’s more common in Vietnam, instead it is a straw hat that is mostly flat with a bulge in the middle with sometimes the sides drooping down (probably have to google a photo to see what I’m saying)

Indeed, even without being able to link to a specific tribal communities amount the multitude of less sophisticated that are known to exist, the Xia is expected or presumed to be one or a union of them. Just don't know specifically which one.

3:49 Qin burning the books actully is more like an ancient version of censoring. He only burned the books about Confucianism, and some history books from other conquered countries, and he kept all copies of them in his library only for the scholars of the empire to study. what he didn't burn and allowed to be had by the public are engineering, medicine, and all other sorts of science and tech books. So, the point is, he just wants a really strong and united ideology, but understand the importance of technology and science. Which is very similar with China today.

13:17 I had always heard the opposite: That the KMT did most of the fighting, while the CCP strategically avoided confrontation and let the KMT and Japanese weaken each other, just to march on the city right after the end of the invasion, taking advanrage of a weakened KMT.

[@hiimryan2388]

It’s really just a mixture of both. As even before the end of the war the KMT was also stockpiling supplies for the ensuing civil war. More over the communists were more prominent in the north while the KMT were more prominent in the south

While it's very important to only share specific information in China these days, it's also important to note that they're actually less authoritarian than some US states on certain things like some vice laws. This was very good and thorough overall. Some things weren't pronounced correctly like Zhou or Yue for example but that's neither here nor there. You're also smart by keeping these videos under 30 minutes. One thing, as a history nerd, that I get frustrated by is the number of 3h+ videos. I get the nuance is tough to explain in 30 minutes but it's so important to limit the size per video. Anyway, great stuff.

A really teeny nitpick, but 7:27 西夏(xixia) should be 宋(song). The English part was correct, it was just the Chinese character. 西夏 is another nomadic tribe in the west between Song and Jin.

[@lLooN3y]

As an asian american, let me just give some insight about the mindstate of Japan at the point. Value of human life wasn't on the same standard as europe at that time and the difference was day and night in that era, Japan being severely worse due to their isolation nature (outside of trade with china and korea) and warrior culture. Raping and pillaging was pretty much outlawed by professional european armies by the mid to late 1700s and east asia still living by mediveval standards in terms of value of life and taking in japan's extreme warrior culture (their value of life was considerebly lower and looked at as crazy by koreans and chinese during the 1600-1900s and raping and pillagin was still fresh to Japan's society at that time.

So, this is actually because many ancient civilizations first popped up around river valleys! Egypt, Mesopotamia, India/Pakistan, & China as the big examples. They had a tendency to have massive floods that could be unexpected and end up being talked about and mythologized over thousands of years. I believe there may also be some Mesoamerica flood myths, and i imagine you could chalk that up to relatively common hurricanes that can occasional end up huge.

You must know that Qin Shihuang sent Zhao Tuo to lead more than 100,000 troops to capture Baiyue. It is today's Vietnam area and it was ruled here until the Qin Dynasty was overthrown by Xiang Yu and Zhao Tuo declared independence. Therefore, there was no Yungui in the early Han Dynasty. I understand that there was still the saying that Yelang was arrogant at that time.
