For Chinese people, this video has many errors, but for people who know nothing about China, it can give a general understanding of some major events in Chinese history.

[@wengsoonyuen2086]

Please enlighten us the errors made by the author.

[@essencelin914]

This version of history was written by mostly western scribe viewpoints and some eastern scribe

[@ChinaLivingLegends]

I couldn't agree more. If one doesn't have a good understanding of history, they'd better not delve into Chinese history.

[@datguitar361]

Hi. This is a very good video, I enjoyed it very much. I have but one minor complaint: You missed an important figure in the Teng period: the one and only Wu Zetian the female emperor. I know you condense the entire history of China in a less than 3 hours video and it's a great effort, but it only take maybe 10 seconds to mension her, for she was an important figure in Chinese history. Good job however.

[@wengsoonyuen2086]

Completely in agreement with this important oversight.

[@padraicley3265]

It is a Western version and viewpoint, which misses the importance of Chinese culture, especially the imperial Western invasion in the 1800s.

[@dragondescendant1]

of course, the west would sugarcoat those events.

[@wengsoonyuen2086]

You can always enlighten us on the Chinese narrative.

That's not a continuous civilization and there was no Indian nation yet before the British came. It was just a throughly divided land mass ruled by many kings and sub-kingdoms. The British united them, penned it and then you guys only got a real country named India as of it today. So, India is not that ancient or old or a continuous civilization after all.
