Why So Proud As A Lu? Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty's Science/Culture/Foods/Politics [CC]

[@mlb2536]

I didn’t realized that this drama was so rich in historical and cultural references. All my respect for the writer !

[@020697Sasha]

What would we do without you! So much context and added information completely changes the perception of the drama and makes me appreciate it so much more!

[@curiousthought9867]

This is what I look forward when watching dramas or movie that are historical connected. Bring more meaning to life when we could connect the dots. Thanks for explaining the brief history of Tang dynasty

[@pandasounds03]

God I never knew I would like this kind of video so much😅😅 Really glad you made this. It was so interesting to know about so many easter eggs and their origins❤❤

[@juney1127]

If you ever run out of ideas for your content you should make video about replicating foods from cdrama. I’ll be happily watching.

[@littlefairy9696]

I hope so too! 😊

[@veryqun]

Yes! You cooked on camera! Loved the secret surprise of a recipe hidden in the middle of the video 🎉

[@paulkeenan5378]

Really enjoyed this video,very educational.Thank you 👏

[@tonydeluna8095]

Man I love your hair style AvenueX!

[@bellabermudas]

Excellent video!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks! This video has increased my fascination with the drama. I’m currently on episode 8 and have been impressed with the storyline thus far. The painting history along with the methods used during an autopsy had me glued to your video. The Production of Strange Tales is in my top category of Chinese dramas. I suspect it will probably win high honors during award season as it is a standout among the dramas of 2024. I will look forward to S3 but I must try your noodle dish while watching S2. Let’s hope the screenwriter can maintain the high standards of storytelling found in the previous seasons. Many thanks for the work you put into this video and take care.🌸💃🏽

[@drmarkbahnisch2978]

Thank you! I've only just started watching the drama but you bring so much to the journey ahead with all this fascinating cultural, literary and historical context! Brilliant! Also: that dish looks super yummy!

[@melindabarstow1519]

Thanks to Avenue X, I now know the emperor was playing a qin in the drama. And it was positioned correctly!! I am enjoying your "educational videos" as much as your reviews. And loving Strange Tales From Tong Dynasty. Thank you.

[@mlb2536]

I also checked the position of the qin 😂

[@kilogram8168]

I've been waiting for this video to drop!!! I'll just not think about the historically accurate fate of LLF and Xijun's descendents 😂

[@sunnyshine9510]

It is really such a pleasure watching you doing videos about Chinese culture, history, knowledge and all the things related.

[@ima7333]

@AvenueX and making comment videos like these on season 3 after it airs. It’s great to be able to learn about Chinese history & culture through drama albeit not 100% representative.

[@sz9281]

Wow, so much great information learnt. Thank you. The ancient civilizations were so much more advanced and gracious than we think. My last comment I sympathized with your unhappiness with the quality of content put out there. This week I am happy to see you enthusiastic. Jiayou!!!

[@lisgarcia9424]

Avenue X, Bravo! I liked the second season so much that I started watching the first one and, as you said, I can't wait for the third one! Thank you for your deep knowledge of Chinese History and for sharing it with us.

[@loriweeks2060]

I agree. I liked the second season a lot, too, and I’m re-watching season one again. I have a much better understanding of that time in Chinese history after watching this video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@risan3022]

Thanks a lot for talking about the historical and cultural references in STOTD in depth! 🙏 Really enjoyed it. Very eye-opening and educational.

[@jengeron4758]

I appreciate how you explained the Chinese literature and history in detail. I learned more than what I did in world history classes, thanks a lot! 🌷🙏🏻💖

[@marionsmith4728]

Absolutely Fascinating

[@niklausgumm5186]

Thank you for presenting ancient history in such a beautiful and entertaining way

[@byronsbrain]

Thank you so much for the fascinating video

[@Deteeastee]

Thank you so much for the explanations. Helped better appreciate the drama!!! Keep them coming

[@Kairava]

I love these videos, there's so much to know about everything! I'm so glad you're passionate about this because I learn so much! I have to try the recipe, and watch this over and over to not miss any info, it's a lot! And I do hope sometime in the future you feel like speaking about other things that didn't fit in this video :) Thank you!

[@bunnyblue3082]

Love your video! So informative! I really appreciate your explanations.

[@brendabrooks8939]

Thank you sooo much, very interesting and most intriguing. Well done xx

[@wollevy2328]

Great video!

[@jen720]

Can we have more please ! Love this video !

[@rziefebruary]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I learnt soooo much from your channel compared to what was taught in my history class T_T

[@lilyTlily]

I truly enjoyed this video and drama so much. Your video is so educational and enjoyable, I didn't expect to learn about the history of my own surname (Zheng). Thanks AvenueX for making this video. Another gem that needs to be bookmarked and saved. Keep up the good work!

[@LeviAkerman-pf3qj]

Now you can also boast of your ancient family lineage like Lu lingfang 😄

[@jelita_]

@@LeviAkerman-pf3qj Yes, and no worried about being hunted and killed like the end of Tang Dynasty.

[@meemtong5589]

What a great video!! And what a nice surprise to see a cooking demo, and a recipe that is almost the same as my mother's. She cooked this in my childhood. The only difference is putting the whole lumo of dough in water and slowly pulling out the dough into flat pieces. My ancestors are 客家 and family name is 唐😊

[@MsGermanriesling]

I'm so thankful for all knowledge you spend time relay to us. China art and history is really so fascinating to me.

[@DevinDiTigana]

This is so fascinating, thank you so much! Also, as a result of looking stuff up prompted by certain bits of this video, I learned about the Battle of Langshan Jiang, which is now my new favourite battle!

[@fansizhe9997]

I really Love this drama!!!👍👏🏻👏🏻😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖

[@tashaonly]

Thank you thank you thank you so much for this excellent video. I am putting it in my favorites to rewatch. You’re the best at Giving interesting facts about Chinese culture.

[@saradiaz6179]

Your best video so far. Your knowledge and explanation of Chinese historical facts is mind blowing. I have learned so much from your videos. Your costume,make up, hair style are beautiful. Thank you Ave X.

[@gokuson2778]

One of your best videos. Thanks you do much.❤

[@hmlog5578]

Really enjoyed the information you provided here. @avenueX hope you can do more videos with historical information love the tidbit about Jiang family and the food. Thank you.

[@Barbarossa-heir]

I can tell that this genuinely insightful video will be enlightening for years to come for many curious viewers ...❤ Thank you, Avenue x, for your solid investment ! Years and years ...

[@evawilliams4390]

This was so informative. Thank you.

[@Barbarossa-heir]

Your Tang outfit is gorgeous !

[@agustianetan959]

This video reminds me about why i subscribe to your channel long time ago in ten miles and lang ya bang era... you brought something else than just drama review. And makes me become so interested in chinese history n culture...

[@txpepper]

Love the cultural notes and the bonus of you preparing a recipe! 🫰🏻 I vote that you do one of these types of videos once every couple of months providing you find a suitable drama to work with. Nicely done!

[@funkystyle7249]

I would love to see more cultural takes on cdrama and movies!

[@cindyrosser2471]

I had to rewatch the beginning 3 times because I was admiring your hair and costume. This is my absolute favorite video that you've done. I love history, and as an American I know almost nothing about Chinese history. So very interesting. Kudos to you.

[@fianorian]

I love these vids, where we get so much of the historical and social side of China. It makes watching future drama's much more interesting.

[@mariaannainditahernawati7132]

saya tertarik dengan teko teh dan kendi airnya miss selalu unik dan penuh dg detail

[@melindamucsi]

First of all, thank you for putting together this super long video. But could you please do a poetry one as well? 😅

[@sandralow4246]

Bravo. You are amazing! What a great commentary. Love learning about the background history of the drama and Chinese history itself.

[@abeille3150]

Fascinating! Thank you for all your work preparing this hugely informative and interesting account of Chinese history. Big Tick.

[@sinologika]

Wonderful video! Cheers from Indonesia. Terima kasih!

[@missaisohee]

she draws, she knits, she makes delicate crafts, she makes and edits videos, she cooks, she plays music.. still she has time to watch dramas and movies .. 🙏is my kneeling position accurate?

[@zhaochen9159]

and plays black myth wukong

[@michellem5547]

I’m so happy that you are having a blast making videos about Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 🩵

[@dianam.4736]

Your hairdo and make up look amazing! I have also enjoyed your very interesting explanation. Thank you!

[@MarcelaChandía]

I love this type of content! Thank you so much for all the information. I will definitely watch another one about poetry, is your videos on the poetry of Joy of Life and Word of Honor that brought me to your channel 😉

[@moniquechristiansen5276]

I so appreciate and enjoy learning from you. Thank you !

[@bonitaberger3597]

Thank you. A really fun video of a favorite drama.

[@prettyamy2004]

I enjoyed watching content❤🎉 soon I gonna watch this series when i find time😅

[@kimlaitan3989]

Thank you AveX for your review. You're so knowledgeable and I really like your noodle soup. I am gonna try to make😅 Thank you ❤

[@Crivitao]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@funnybunny3823]

I happen to be cooking while watching this video. The sizzling sound plus all the historical references just made a great combo for a good Cdrama recipe 😂!

[@kimnamtuan4707]

wow love your style today!!!!

[@nonoy6340]

Nice hairstyle !

[@lorenam8028]

Very interesting video, thank you.

[@jaroslaval9159]

Wow! What a fascinating episode. Thank you for doing the research! I don't have an iQiyi membership, and I have been going nuts trying to find out who the villain is in Defeat of Mara, and also does the artist ever put in the finishing touches in the eyes, and there are no spoilers out there! Plus I wanted to know if the painting was based on something historical, and again- nothing! So at least I found out the latter curiosity. I will definitely experiment with the recipe too. Thank you!

[@sz9281]

Hi AvenueX, I was watching the WildAid documentary on pangolins with Wang Yibo, Part2, At time stamp 19:20 , my kids started pointing at one of the staff saying she resembles AvenueX😂 resemblence or not, just saying that even my kids know you❤

[@Nania777]

I lup you so much for this! Thank you. ❤

[@AyaaAcademia]

I am actually excited to see of they'll introduce Yang Yuhuan as an important character/catalyst in the 3rd season, considering it's already Xuanzong's reign. however, as he is quite young, maybe they wont introduce Yang guifei, yet.

[@jengeron4758]

So educational 👌🏻

[@Budimichael]

I can definitely watch more of your analysis on this or other good period dramas. Maybe also black myth wukong?

[@clairsnow6404]

super interesting enjoyable video!!! THANK YOU!!!! (i wish you did more of this and a bit less rant videos if possible 🥹)

[@morithohirbima9299]

thank you so much. glad to know more about Chinese literature

[@irisboker6365]

Thank you❤

[@sz9281]

Since you mentioned yang zhigang and tan janci, I cannot unsee it. He IS an older version of JCT😂

[@lorenam8028]

That hairdo is so nice! 👍👍👍

[@SurrealisticLEO]

This was so fascinating and interesting, would love to know more about these subjects - are there any books on these, maybe translated into English?

[@ke3202]

Hola. He disfrutado mucho de su video pero lo que más ha conseguido retener mi pobre atención (tengo TDAH) es su hermoso moño. Yo tengo el cabello muy largo y me encanta llevarlo recogido pero debo confesar que no he encontrado nada tan hermoso como los recogidos de los dramas historicos chinos. Me encantaría replicar alguno que sea fácil como el que lleva usted, por lo que si se me permite decirlo, me gustaría que usted hiciera un video tutorial sobre recogidos chinos antiguos y actuales que podamos copiar. Me disculpo por adelantado si hacer esta petición molesta a alguien, simplemente me encanta la belleza de su cultura. Enhorabuena por su trabajo. Saludos cordiales.

[@coldcole]

In Malaysia/Singapore, we call Bo Tuo, Mee Hun Kuay (面粉高）

[@t0rienta]

Thanks

[@goosedownstory]

You are stunning!

[@020697Sasha]

Can you please do one more about literary references? 🙏

[@Ch215t1anxyz]

This video is delicious ❤

[@ritawing1064]

Is there any way to know which series are going to disappear off youtube in mid-series? I don't know how to manage following them subsequently, and have lost 3 recently.

[@owl6218]

btw, are these the 'willow leaf' eyebrows? nice

[@leonpse]

Is the flower tattoo from Lost You Forever?

[@alissin7022]

Please make another video about black myth: wukong , the final trailer was posted about 4 or 5 days ago ( sorry for bad english )

This is why you should not rely on the reviews of people on the internet. You liked this show even though i found it ... lacking and weird.
