Lovely. I’d love to see something about the differences between character combinations in CJKV characters that have different meanings in different languages. 평지 I believe is one, as I think it means toilet paper in one of the other languages.
this position is directly correlated with the flexibility of your ankles, hamstrings, and calves. it’s like doing the split; with enough work anyone can do it. I recommend looking up stretches that focuses on these muscle groups.
in another video, it's said that the whole point of seiza was to numb the legs, so it's normal. The emperor wanted people sit like that and numb out, so they'd be less likely to assasinate
正座 is required only in very formal position. there is a tale to it. Mencius, a confucianist, wants to divorce because he sees his wife didn't sit in 正座. her mother dissuades him, says it makes no sense to demand others so high in etiquette.
Also, the character 女 has been similarly developed with "mother", 母("haha" by Japanese). The differences are that 母 has 2 dots which represents nipples, while 女 lacks it. Also, in modern forms, 女 lost her right breast, while 母 gets to keep both breasts. Here's some knowledge I have about 女 in the Japanese language. The Kanji 女(onna) is not used often in the Japanese language because when used to address a woman, it's considered a strong word, especially since it has multiple meanings besides "woman", like girl, maid, and other meanings that are vulgar. So, the words 女の人("onna no hito", literally "female person) or 女性(josei) are used, instead. I learned it from a Japanese Twitch streamer, who was impressed with knowing how to write 女, but corrects me on how strong it is to be used.
Interesting! I like the Cantonese and Vietnamese inclusion, they seen like fun bonuses

Thank you!!
I don't know how girls did it back then, every time I've tried to sit in the 正座 position, my legs want to kill me lol
it might be a gene thing, cus I can do the sitting squat (which i guess is similar) whilst my friends cannot. and its not like im muscular

What about minnan/teochew readings? Because they are different from Cantonese and Vietnamese and mandarin
Once we put the characters up on our website, we'll try to include these readings as well!
The Cantonese pronounciation is a bit off.
basically good enough, right tone, just the final
Now that’s a loaded question these days
It's like watching Matt Walsh's documentary right before this video.
Just came here after watching Matt Walsh's documentary What's a woman.
ah yes, reliable source Matt "girls are most fertile at 16 years old" Walsh
