8 BEAUTIFUL Women Who DESTROYED China

[@94blondebimbo]

I would just like to say I love how these women are blamed because of their beauty and not the stupid men who were actually responsible for destruction.

[@Nymphm]

That's the point of the video. Read the title

[@WeiYinChan]

jinjo22 you made it sound like women had any choice back at those time.

[@Kakkatz]

Actually, the true moral of these stories is that looks aren't everything. As a matter of fact, these stories were tales of how the pursuit of indulgence in beauty and looks can be detrimental to ones and others livelihoods. Comparing a modern person and a past king, for example, had they focused on family and statehood matters.

[@alizeenormandeau2914]

Babywilko It was their fault.

[@emilyg6774]

oh dear u are so smart, couldn't agree with you more.

[@ZLL668]

Blaming women for mistakes caused by men...this has been a norm in human history.

[@Dahliabyi]

Same from Bible

[@yyyannuuu]

Did some of these women actually destroy these ancient dynasties or did the ruling men in question just have really poor judgement and sketchy priorities?

[@LPJ2]

of course it is the men, but it is a great way to warn the other emperors to be caerful of the women they indulge too much, because it is pretty hard to directly excuse the emperor in the face, so they say : "please remember the old stories, and be caeful with women".

[@alizeenormandeau2914]

Di Dxpeo Of course it is the women.

[@mykailacharfauros9657]

White Raven Actually! It's both of their faults because ONE: It's half the mens fault for neglecting their country, and TWO: It's also the women's fault for misusing their beauty.

[@mav1877]

Both. Men need to not be so fooled by beauty.

[@WeiYinChan]

Some of the women were doing it on purpose, some of they were spies from their own country and sent there as a honey trap or to provoke jealousy about comrades. It's not just beauty, it's well-planned strategies. A lot of them sacrificed their own happiness for their people and became pawns willingly or unwillingly.

[@mmh7284]

I've been reading a lot of translated Chinese webnovels, and the phrase "Mountain-toppling and city-destroying beauty" was commonly used to describe a beautiful woman.

It's always amazing to me how people find ways to blame the "beautiful" women. The men had choices, they could have made their own decisions, had their own wills, therefore this is more a case of "it takes two to tango" than it is solely the fault of the ladies.

It's almost like through out histroy women have been trained in the art of seduction to be used as weapons against powerful men. No that couldn't possibly be it, women would never spend years learning how to psychologically manipulate men in such a way that they think they are doing things they want to do.

[@lovejadepalace]

As an Asian growing up in Taiwan, I learned all these stories back in elementary school, and I really do have a problem with you making the video title as" 8 'women' who destroyed china". I understand you are trying to make the video title more appealing but the majority of the reasons why all the dynasties were eventually overturned contributing to the incompetence of the king/emperors instead of women. I think we all know that in ancient asian society, there is a strong masculine dominance and it usually pushes all the blemishes to women for all the blames. Besides, I think it would be great if you mentioned that Muo Xi (the first one) daji, and baosi are not the real historical figures (in question) because the real chinese history (中國史) started from qin (秦) dynasty; even they are, the stories you mentioned about all the women are 90% "anecdotals", instead of history. I think there is a line between history and anecdotals that needs to be cleared.

[@VanessaLeevl]

I was born in London but i'm Taiwanese and never knew of any of these! I'm so interested now!!

[@TorquemadaTwist]

Trisna Eko Wiyatni Kawaii Olive Oyle brought about the great Bluto/Popeye wars.

[@trisnaekowiyatnikawaii3860]

lol agree with...

[@Anna_Raphael]

These stories are myths and it reflects the culture of misogyny (hatred of women) usually found in male dominated culture. The story of Helen was also not true, the Greeks had fought many wars with their neighbors and the war might not have anything to do with bringing Helen back to her husband. Women rarely have real political power and most of the people who wrote history were men. Cleopatra, from her statue, was not beautiful so we need to look at these stories as myths in historical context, they are not complete facts.

[@sayjaibao01188]

in many households women control the finances, their power was always behind the scenes....which makes them even more unpredictable and dangerous! :-)

[@indirapoitier338]

Yes, I realize my wording was lax, however these tales stem from some historical fact back in a time when oral story telling was the way to learn. possibly even when people are inspired by events in history. take the child's song London Bridge is Falling Down. everyone who has some tie to that culture knows it, it didnt really happen, but it was inspired by very real events

[@baobaonovels]

+Mela Z beside xia dynasty夏朝 he mentioned is tale, the other are all real, we have everything in record, check尚書(Shangshu). The earliest historical evidences way back to Shang Dynasty商朝(2033 B.C. -1562 B.C.). There were a position in ancient China called史官(Historiographer), they recorded everything happened, what they wrote are called FORMAL HISTORY or OFFICIAL HISTORY, beside that, the others called INFORMAL HISTORY or UNOFFICAL HISTORY, those are still counted as history because those are written in words. Of course it has not been approved by the imperial, which in the other hand, I think it showed part of the truth.

I try not to sound negative or discouraging to the content creators on youtube so I didn't comment on the previous videos because Jen seemed so sweet and I would hate to hurt her feelings. The difference with this video and the others in energy level and passion for the topic is noticeable. The energy is much higher when you are solo or when you had the "bro dynamic" with Dan. It is difficult to imitate partner/duo chemistry in entertainment. You can learn from Lucy and Ethel.

[@Renwoxing13]

Yea but Mike, and Dan's chemistry took a serious hit, and became seriously awkward in the days of their waning partnership. I blame Yi 100% for the split of these bros!

[@stephaniekim8722]

+Renwoxing13 same!!!

[@amycheng5153]

renwoxing13 Why would you blame someone's husband or wife for wanting and needing to fulfill family obligations? Mike and Dan have been best friends for over 10 years and they continue to be. Mike set Dan up with Yi. They all love each other. Mike and Yi are very similar and they're the perfect balance to Dan's quirky ways. Mike seemed distracted in those last videos together because he was trying to hold it together and not show how sad he was. It's hard adjusting to being alone after so long. Like Dan said, you grow up and go where life takes you. Sometimes it takes you 3000 miles away from your best friend. You would understand that if you were old enough to have known someone 10+ years. Or maybe you have to be Chinese to understand certain family obligations. Mike is Dan's family too, but Yi is his "wife". That has to come first.

[@luckyguy71]

I don't think it is any of our business or our place to comment on Dan & Yi's relationship. Amy is correct that people grow up and move on. So be it. end of story. My comment was targeted to support Mike right now. Mike is an amazing talent and a brilliant mind. Mike has a special skill of making people he doesn't know and doesn't see feel like WE are his best friend. His travel logs are excellent examples of this. I think Mike is strong enough and talented enough to just fly solo. I don't think he needs a partner or needs to imitate what he had with Dan. Sonny and Cher were great but when Sonny left - Cher was strong and talented enough to actually be stronger. Mike is the same.

[@oestergaard141]

The picture at 13:29 is from a chinese TV show, it's fan bing bing as 武則天(Wu Zetian or Wu Meiniang), so you basically got a picture of the wrong lady. However, She could also say to have in a way brought down a dynasty, at least she temporarily disrupted the Tang dynasty. She married the emperor but never managed to be his top wife, despite him liking her the most... but his son also liked him, so after the emperor died, she then married her son, and wu meiniang ended up outliving the son because he was sick. Then, instead of letting their son become emperor, she became the only emperor of China until her death, creating a 15 year period of Zhou dynasty, but it was then made back into the Tang dynasty after her death, as a son of hers became emperor. Also because of her, the capital was moved from 长安(Chang'An, today Xi'An) to 洛阳(Luoyang) - while her 2nd husband was alive though, but she was the reason.

[@Raphanne]

That video must have taken you ages to make. Nice editing.

[@evelynwald9132]

Fascinating to learn about Chinese history and the role that women you focused on played in each of the dynasties. While the lifestyle seems to be one of great privilege, it also must have been hard to keep up and deal with the gossip plus intrigues in the royal court. Thank you for sharing.

She was awesome

[@wilmacinco56]

If am not mistaken the first and only female Emperor of the world. the most ruthless, and richest emperor but was the best Emperor China had.

[@shanedoesyoutube8001]

@@wilmacinco56 the only empress REGNANT by western regal definition, instead of like dowager or regent or consort or whatever

Good video! I read about the silk tearing thing before, the story said it was because she missed the sound of storm winds.

“Beautiful women will have tragic fates.” 😭😭😭 Nuff said. That means I’ll have a tragic death...? ✌🏻XD

[@robertschlesinger1342]

Interesting and historically important video.

[@Celesteseet]

Would just like to make a suggestion; maybe when introducing the people-of-topic you could add the captions of their names etc. I hear alot of americanised way of pronouncing chinese names like Da2ji3 pronounced as dajee. As a chinese myself its hard for me to make out the names for me to do further research on them, maybe you could try next time to pronounce them with all the 4 tones. other than that really great video.

[@zui4louie]

So many people are looking up to you now. You don't need to be an imperial prince anymore. Haha. You're videos are awesome. Keep up the good work! :D
