What are the best sources for Chinese hardcore pornography besides Asia-M?
Ever heard of Nagaland? Genetically Chinese with no admixture but politically under India by force.
You're a beautiful Chinese woman.
Why your English is so influent?
Where are you living?
Wow interesting same here Ellora Caves kailash Temple🚩🇮🇳🕉️
@@Naga-Nation It means India is raining a snake as Nagaland, Which will bite India later. I hope all naga are not like you.
As an indian it's astonishing how similar ancient indian outfits were to this.
Ofc it is the influence of Buddha spread to China
I think nope
Untill latest ice age humanity was concentrated in tropical zones like Africa and India. when it went away Central Asia, Northern Asia, northeastern Asia, American continents were repopulated from India. we Asians have common anestors and cultures before genes evolved further due to different climates in different places and now we may look completely different but we have common source.
thats where it came from. Dunhuang fashion stemmed directly from Indian fashion.
The painting looks almost the same as an indian lady in traditional outfit.....and the biggest giveaway is the mudras or the hand gestures....which proves that chinese culture is incomplete without Indian culture...and they have to accept this fact
1. Indian culture is Sanatan (Hinduism)
2. Buddhism derived from Hinduism
3. Chinese culture is deadly mixture of Buddhism and Ancient chainese culture
4. In my opinion both are very deep, rich and mysterious and also very calculative
nothing called Hinduism existed in the times of Buddha. Buddha was a Sramana & he enlightened as a Sramana. Hinduism copied meditation, & concepts of karma, rebirth etc from Sramanas.
Chinese paper making techniques & printing preserved India's knowledge to this day. Chinese paper making and printing helped India build as a country and as a civilization by helping produce thinkers, philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, doctors, engineers and so on. Gun, gun powder, bomb, rockets, missiles are all ancient Chinese inventions. How long can India survive without using those Chinese inventions today?
@@kelzangdorji662Hinduism is the original origin of meditation yoga karma and it's not copied anything you can check through various timelines religions evolved Buddha was born in Hindu family before Hindu name everything called as a sanatana in which every branch of religion accepted and practiced in India.
Gowthama Buddha with his disciples established Buddhism and spread the same core concepts in Hinduism, Jainism to the world in different ways. The Buddhism concept there before Gowthama Buddha The first Buddha was Sugatha Buddha considered as the 9th Avatar of lord Vishnu and another Buddha appeared after Sugatha Buddha he decided to bring old Buddhism concepts. There are many Buddha's before Gowthama Buddha and after also. In Hinduism both Buddha's worshiped.
Thank you ❤
@@kelzangdorji662Indus civilization is far older than Chinese civilization. It is an independent civilization and no need for another civilization technology. There are many inventions that are there in Indian civilization like Chinese civilization. Even the present Chinese marital arts are originally from Indian civilization.
@@kelzangdorji662before paper we have plant leaves widely used and rock plates there are many doctors,philosophers, doctors, mathematicians etc.. are there in ancient India.India has more money but European thieves looted almost more than 50 trillion dollars+other valuables which makes India slowdown but it's now boosting
@@kelzangdorji662 Hinduism is given by others religion. Original is Sanatan 🙌🏻
INDIA has a huge imprint on chinese culture....thats amazing
And vice versa. Everybody in the region were influencing each other.
@@imacarguy4065 what Chinese influence does India have ?, i can't think of any other than the tea.
Yea and chow noodles😂@@user-ml1mr1ls2y
严格地说，不是印度对中国文化有巨大的影响，中国的佛教文化是从尼泊尔传入，而不是印度。
@@user-ml1mr1ls2y just smaller stuff. Tea, kites, dumplings, etc.
The carvings definitely resembled Hindu Gods. The Namaste, the ornaments on hands, and dresses also resembled Hindu gods
Edit: I did not say this to provoke a right between Hinduism and Buddhism. Both religions have same teachings. Hinduism is the theistic form of Buddhism and Buddhism is the atheistic form of Hinduism. Moreover, both religions ask to give up your ego of being something. So, following both, none of us is better than another. All followers of Hinduism and Buddhism are same. Calm down, you people.
It is a Buddhist Jatak story Gods, not your Hindu.
@@shatzco I said it "resembles"
@@ShivanshuTyagi72981 it resembles coz Hindus took those jatak katha and made it in their mythological gods.
@@shatzco 😂😂😂 What made you say that, I mean like Hinduism is older than Buddhism, and Buddha was himself a Hindu before attaining enlightenment
@@ShivanshuTyagi72981 where did Buddha say he was hindu? And who made him Hindu? Tell me where in tipitaka and dhampad he said he is Hindu?
You forget to mention about the indian influence on dunhuang culture other than Sanskrit scriptures, u mentioned central asian and Chinese but it's actually more indian culture inspired and buddhism inspired than other things, especially the costumes shown here are either highly inspired by the indian culture or are the exactly same apsara costumes of India. Apsaras are beautiful dancers of heaven in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, that is why their clothes are like this beautiful. Sadly, it's forgotten and lost in India, nepal but survived and even thriving in china.
Of course they know it was influenced by budhism and hinduism ,but every culture made them their own thing,i read in china they are called feitian ,just like urvashi and the other apsaras the feitian also play music and dance
跟印度有啥关系？他们是白人，我们分不清波斯人还是罗马帝国的人？印度土著被称为昆仑奴，是从昆仑山贩卖的黑色的奴隶。只是中国人善良，不愿意说而已。唐朝跟波斯关系好，所以佛教，拜火教都让传播。
@@tahirghoerahoe8246 it's only belongs to Buddhism
Hinduism came 1000 year later
Hinduism 🤣🤣 (cheap copy of mhayana vazrayani Buddhism)
@@zojozojo-ox6wjbro you have zero knowledge of history
I love the Hindu influence
The important person was Prince Dharma, he preached Zen(ध्यान) lecture to China, and teached the Saolin monks Martial arts.
Hindu- Buddist culture is not good for China. I wish someone established Caliphthe in past china in history. Its better Islamic china then Hindu-Buddist
🤣🤣 get out hindu
It's Chinese buddhism & native culture
India was a Buddhist Country
not hindu ,its buddhist
China was having Indian influence long centuries before Bodhidharman. @@JPLee-zs3wk
I am from Kerala - southern Indian state. Chinese used to trade with south Indian port cities in the past. Chinese porcelain dishes were famous gifts to Kings. Today the Chinese fishing nets are in Kochi, reminiscent of the glorious trade history. Even the city name of Kochi is believed to be named after Chinese. Kochi from Ko Chin.
120 kms down of Kochi is the town of Kollam and while the port was being dredged, they discovered thousands of Chinese coins from seabed.
Not only the fishing net, also the utensils, the cuisine, etc.
Lmao nope Kochi isn't derived from Ko Chin...kit whete did u get that??
Commie logic😂
It has some similarities between Indian -Chinese culture and traditions bcoz Buddhism is a part of Hinduism,it had came from Hinduism. its thought, ways of spiritual practice and many more cultural values so it has some mix influence of traditions and culture
No the difference is chinese culture is filled with bwc lover. Go to sf and you'll see
Lol nothing called Hinduism existed in the times of Buddha. Buddha was a Sramana and he enlightehed as a Sramana. Sramana traditions have roots in Indus Valley civilization. Hinduism copied meditation, the concepts of rebirth, moksha etc from Sramanas. Hinduism is a fusion of different traditions and cultures across Indian and it happened much later after Buddha's time. Read about Hindu synthesis. You'll understand what I'm trying to say. When the fusion, happened, it absorbed many Buddhist influence. Hence modern Hinduism is a part of Buddhism
@@kelzangdorji662 thats why right education is important........ Who was buddha before he got knowledge what his identity was....... Do some research before showing stupidity
@@kelzangdorji662it was called Santana dharma , its saraswathi/Indus civilisation mate = its sindhus really , Hinduism is a modern name of sanatana dharma , India was most advanced ancient civilisation 🧘♂️
Buddha was born in kshatriya clan as a Hindu ...and not just that during the arrival of Buddhism it was spreading in India until it was considered as a part of Hinduism slowly Buddhists started being against Hindus and then shunga Empire came which eradicated Buddhism frm India because lorn buddha never would have excepted something which would go against the whole Hindu concept he went against caste system which is not religious practice it was a cultural practice even Muslims when they came where assigned caste according to the work they did buddha students started a new religion it's fine only because Buddhists talk about the core concepts of Hinduism only until it spread truth it will always be a brother religion of Hinduism and a religion derived from Hinduism ..@@kelzangdorji662
The more I learn about how close China and India were in the ancient times in more ways that one, the more my heart tears seeing the current relationship between the two ancient civilizations. That can be no greater pity than this, that two great cultures who were connected with cultural and socio-economic ties for thousands of years now today aim their weapons at each other. I wish both countries can figure out their differences and get along.
We are at the lowest point of the history if these two civilization
Apart from the Tibetan territorial dispute, I really can't think of anything that hates India. There have been thousands of years of friendship and mutual learning. I hope we will not be affected by territorial disputes.welcome to China,from China!
The Buddhism , martial arts, early Vedic knowledge all these was spread from the then large country Bharath which is mentioned in old historical scriptures, so chinese culture did exist but many things were inspired from Bharath.....u r free to deny ....but facts lit
I agree but it goes both ways. Many countries in the region were influencing each other.
@@imacarguy4065 china was just a mere recipient of great knowledge of indians.....there was nothing that came from china
Hindu dharm came from mahayana Buddhism.
@@blackmoon655 hey you fool..........mahayana Buddhism came from hinduism.....do some simple research on google
@@A19Z928 Daoism and Chinese Folk culture in general were original what do you mean? Political currents such as Legalism were born in China. Buddhism and Indian architecture came to China way later in history, mixing with these native philosophies.
Buddha is hindu I think he was born in hindu family, we hindu also worship buddha because he is the incarnation of lord vishnu
Buddha came from sermana tradition oldest tradition in India.
No to both you people 😂
@@andreamessiasgomes7118 It's true. The Buddha became an ascetic which in the Indian tradition is known as the sramana tradition.
Now please don't make the Buddha hindu...i mean, Hindu religion is all right but u should conceive the truth as it is....Buddhist philosophy is basically different from your religion and yes buddha was born in a hindu family but he did not have faith in Hinduism, so u can't call him....
Yeah I agree at some part but Buddhism isn't much different and nor Jainism I come from Bihar where both the relegion started so ik there is not much difference and nobody hates each other @@EyouthChakma
Lady wearing dress was Ancient Indian clothing, and also see how the lady put forehead mark , which still Indian man and woman do . So putting label of Chinese culture,it does not mean it is originated in China. More than 2000 yesrs of past history India influenced heavuly to China and west.
Yes it was influenced by indian and budhism and they made it their own,and besides India does not even know apsaras anymore , i like how the chinese and thai have kept the apsara culture alive
@gloriage1127 nope , male and female statues carved in Ancient Indian temples has wore the same clothing.
@gloriage1127 even what u are saying about Tocahrian tribe, which are also influenced by Buddhism and used " brahmi script" in writing system . Which is another Ancient Indian writing system. Don't compare with what India looks today , because the ancient Chinese and Greek travellers knew what Ancient India was.
@gloriage1127 do you know what is Gandhara
@gloriage1127 so , what is today's Afghanistan was once part of undivided India (Bharat) and Gandhara is a place in Ancient India which is now known as "Kandhara". Gandhara kingdom was in Mahabharat period. Greeks and Indian used to do trade and cultural exchange by sea and land both before 2500 years from know . So u come to see Buddha statues in standing position, which has both Indian and Greek influence. And women wearing clothes and jewelleries were once wore by female before during Gupta and maurya Dynasty period. So it is heavily influenced by ancient Indian culture
I’m a huge Cdrama fan. When I used to watch historical fantasy dramas or Xianxias, I was amazed by how similar the hand ornaments or Maagtikka looked exactly like the Indian jewelleries. Mostly the Goddesses wear these in the dramas.
Really loved your latest video on the mysterious side of Chinese culture! 😊 It's so cool to see something different from the usual content. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to more! 🎉📹

@@zoe.languages please do tell us whether China was influenced by India or not.
@@andreamessiasgomes7118you people are lazy or what go research yourselves about the history of india(previously known as bharat) and china( previously not inclusion of tibet). China and india has a long and great history from generations go read about the travellers who came to bharat from China. You will get to know everything.
Just asking someone will only mislead you go and research yourselves

I have known of DunHuang for more than 40 years from the history of the Silk Road. Being a Chinese Canadian, i have been fascinated with Dun Huang Buddhist caves and paintings from one of the earliest Coffee table size books produced at least 30 years ago! Still need to visit in person, howver. Hope very soon! The modern digital cave platform is interesting of course for younger folks and as an introduction to Chinese history. But i would still prefer to see the original DunHuang.
Are they influence heavily from India as most Indians are claiming this
Stunning visuals, great job Zoe

Nothing called Hinduism existed in the time of buddha. The name sanatana dharma itself is copied from Buddhism. Buddha was the first to use that term to refer to Buddhism
I don't know what & where u learn from sanatana dharma doesn't existed before budha , BUDHA original name is sidhartha gowtama , sanatana Dharma existed from 30,0000 & earlier according to science ,we have written prove from 5000 years About Lord Rama story u will find in half of the asian countries like malasia,Thailand , Indonesia till date Budha is from India (presentday Nepal)

China is huge, ancient and arguably contains more distinct sub-cultures than any other nation on earth. I bet even native Chinese people only know a small fraction of all that is contained in Chinese culture!
thats pretty cool,i recommend you see ethnic groups from countries from south america,europe,and siberia,stay safe!
No. India has more sub-cultures probably. I don't know how to compare though so this is just guess.
Thats true though,idk also how to compare but hey,if youre interessed you can see ethnic groups from south america if youre interessed
this ad is all about presenting you with a sanitized view of the caves so tourists don't see the abuse of the Uighur people that you would see if you actually visited the area. great use of "arguably" btw
Chinese culture is forbidden in PRC now. Since their government came from Russia and they say Chinese ancient culture is just the evil remnants of feudalism and should be destroyed and replaced to Soviet culture. That's why Cultural Revolution happened and simplified Chinese characters were created. Traditional Chinese culture in PRC is negative and nmust to be criticized. Although they promote critical inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, the core of PRC is still Soviet and Russian style, and traditional culture is just the surface and can be discarded at any time. What's more, the traditional Chinese culture only exists in Taiwan now.
What comes to mind is a whole array of things, philosophy and traditions of Asia characters, ceramics, architecture, music, dance, literature, martial arts, cuisine, arts, philosophy, festivals and Global Influence throughout time. 😊

Each and Every east Asian countries have huge impact of Indian culture. Because ancient indians are well advanced you can see so many references about India in other countries culture also (even in arab countries, europian countries) Because india had the worlds largest library Talanda and Takshashila .

@@kelzangdorji662 Bro i didn't say India only did everything to the world. Read again. I only said "Indian culture". Each and every country is important to the world irrespective of global relationship like allies or enemies. So I appreciate china for their great invention and contribution to the world.
@@kelzangdorji662 is good to share opinion but please do not attack others by saying untruth reason. As for agree some culture are came from India like Buddhism and some dance but before China also have their own belief in confusion, dance and wear, This girl showing the wear i think is from Tang dynasty which was the glorious time and they exchange a lot culture from India and Middle East.. No harm @vishnujith83 proud for people following his culture. There is not shame that Chinese following some Indian culture. China also can be proud of their invention that today whole world follow.
Buddhism or zen Buddhism came from India even martial arts came to China from India through Bodhidharma every Chinese know this
Nah every Chinese/Japanese know Indian did not create Zen. When you visit a Korean/Chinese/Japanese Zen garden/temple, ask yourself, do you feel any India elements in it? Never been to any of these countries? Nvm Google it then.
@@gtlover2011 when Indian prince Bodhidharma went to china he created zen & the daruma doll which is very popular in Japan is an Indian men and he's the founder of zen
@@gtlover2011 Zen literally came from Sanskrit Dhyan which became Chan and Zan/Zen, you'll find Swastika and statues of Buddha/Indra all over Korea and Japan which ultimately came from India, of course the Aesthetics looks different from the ones in India cause of cultural difference, you'll notice this in Norther and southern India as well same with Bali in Indonesia and ruined temples and statues in Afghanistan! you are the type of guy that might think Christianity was born in Italy and Jesus was a blonde haired white guy lol.

In my view, China, as a vast nation almost a world by itself, showcases its most emblematic cultural aspects through its cuisine and architecture. Moreover, I find Chinese women to possess remarkable beauty and elegance, adding another layer of fascination to the rich tapestry of Chinese culture. 😊😉🌏🌏☮☮
I see Indians arguing in the comments section.
This is because Dunhuang is located at the crossroads of the Silk Road, which coincides with the historical period when Buddhism was officially introduced to China. That's why Buddhist costumes appear on the murals. But Dunhuang culture was the result of exchanges between Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, economics, and the state.
But in the thousands of years since, the cultural turnover at Dunhuang has long since changed. In China, Confucianism and Taoism have been deeply embedded for more than 2,000 years. They have dominated dynastic thought. Buddhism, on the contrary, went through several purges in ancient China, and could only be deeply bound to Confucianism and Taoism, and the three religions were united. Today 90% of the Chinese are atheists, and the Chinese still study Confucianism.
Hey Zoe, do you know of any Chinese Fiction bloggers or vloggers? I have been studying mandarin for a year and I am using graded readers but I am also looking for translated fiction to help learn more about the culture and way of thinking. I am an avid reader and recently read a few titles ranging from historical fiction (romance of the three kingdoms) to sci-Fi (Strange Beasts of China) and I am looking for more titles.
I know of the Mogao Cave as it was where Aurel Stein bought or bribed from the caretaker the Diamond Sutras the oldest dated printed text (868 CE) among many other Dunghua manuscripts.
Omg i really dunhuang art! It's been so inspirational for me as an artisit :)
Zoe, muito bom este vídeo falando sobre a cultura chinesa. Estou estudando aos poucos esses grandes mistérios que existem. É um país vasto de curiosidades. Ainda irei visitá-lo e sei que vou gostar mesmo sendo um país de cultura conservadora. Estudar a China é desafiador, mas também empolgante. 🇧🇷❤🇨🇳
India has huge impact on Chinese and other South-east countries
Is it how those countries turned highly sexist?
I “discovered” about Dunhuang and its grottoes a few years ago (due to my interest for the ancient silk road, Buddhism and Xuan Zang). Definitely part of my travel plans in China !
Amazing, an early copy of the Diamond Sutra was discovered in these caves, it is one of the earliest printed books ever found.
Its very similar to what we Hindus have been wearing since some 5k-6k years ago, as evident in our temple carvings, literature and frescoes as well. In fact, we still wear like this today, while doing our worship ceremonies. Saree, Antariya, Angvastra, lehenga/Ghagra are Hindu traditional clothes and Hindu women have worn flowers and gold/silver/bronze ornaments on hairdos and bodies along with Hindu men for aeons. Hindu men also customarily wear much gold, thankfully its getting a resurgence in the coming Hindu genz as we become aware of our ancestors and throw away our veils( the ones that extreme Northern Hindu women wear) into the gutter. No need to follow tribal backward culture which isn't ours.
We traditionally never covered our heads at all, unlike rest cultures.
It could be joint influence of Early Hinduism and Buddhism at best.
We Hindus still follow the 16 traditional adornments of Hindu women and women, the ladies at dunhuang look like Apsaras who are Hindu celestial nymphs appropriated by Jain and then Buddhists some 2500 years ago.
Fascinating topic, Zoe. I have never heard of this side of Chinese culture before. The architecture, fashion, and Buddhist history are what appeal to me the most. Interestingly enough, the art style and gameplay of Digital Library Cave remind me of an old Japanese game named "Okami" where one learns a little about Japanese mythology and folklore through playing the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu. I highly recommend the game in case you're interested in Shinto culture or Japanese myth. Thanks again, Zoe, for making us smarter. Zàijiàn!
Thank you for your recommendation, like the concept ! I will definitely check it out 😊

Well, Buddhism is derived from Hinduism, so its only natural that chinese culture draws a lot of inspiration from Bharat(Sanskrit for India) and Hinduism.
In fact there have been many records of cross travelling and actually it was an Indian guru who introduced martial arts to China which is now known as kung fu.
Hi zoe.you have came with some historical new things.so shukran jazil.could you present any content on arabic language?thanks from bsngladesh.
Why do you want content on Attractive language if you are from Bangladesh, rather than Bangla?
Looks good! I’d love to play. Too bad is not available for my country. Is it that you can only play from China?
Cultural influence of India to China is visible and very friendly.
An chinese ambassodor said once that india culturally invaded china years ago ! you people can search it up
Where he say that. But before that, Aryan invasion came this india. And classifying people from their looks by 4 different classes. Who gives authority to this people
I have been in love with Chinese culture seen I was small. I am African Amercian and my uncle worked for the United Nations and the Ford Foundation. He made many friends and I was exposed to brush painting, which I have taught and music. As an artist I dream of going to Caves of Dunhuang and Longmen Cave/Grottoes.

Journey to the west is a novel written by Chinese who never been to India. The person who did reach India also wrote a book. In that famous book, the text says: The temperature was baking.

The culture of Asia is derived from Bharat (India) because the religions like Buddhism evolved out of Sanatan Dharma. Also, Bharat in ancient times included many countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Nepal, afganistan, etc.
Even the ancient Mayans and Maoris and Aboriginals share same ties because the entri world was Sanatani in ancient times. 🕉️🌺
Bharat is myth not a history. India also learned a lot of things from China. Chinese paper making techniques & printing preserved India's knowledge to this day.

@@kelzangdorji662 don't get mad at me. I am not saying that only Bharat is great. And if you call a reality a myth then you yourself are a myth and have no relevance at all.
Ancient sages and monks from Bharat like Bodhidharma, influenced China a lot. Kalraipayattu is the mother of all martial arts which was also spread to China and Kung fu was born. Even Zen, Karate, etc. Meditation and yoga also originated from Bharat.
And in ancient Bharat people didn't write much , they mentally remembered everything, literally every thing like millions of Shlokas from different texts. The system of writing things down (prevalently) began a lot later. And things were written on palms leaves or planks of rocks. Yes, paper was indeed present in ancient India, although it was different from the paper we use today. Ancient Indians used materials such as bark, palm leaves, and other plant fibers to write on. These materials were fashioned into scrolls or sheets and used for writing history , manuscripts, and other important documents.
We have had many great doctors, philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, etc (even women,.not just men) in ancient Bharat. Ayurveda has many branches like Genetics, anatomy, pediatrics, etc too, since ancient times. We have an ancient text called Garbhopanishad which mentions all the details of the birth a child from a sperm and ovum to its development inside mother's womb with timeline and its parturition, which coincides perfectly with modern science. There are so many things, people don't know because we were invaded by the Mughals and the Europeans, who burnt down our school and universities and converted us and killed millions (including Buddhists, Sanatanis, Jains, Sikhs,etc), stopped us from reading our texts, and burnt them as well.
Owr international universities like Nalanda University which was the world's first resendential uni, was burnt down by an invader, Bakhtiyar Khilji, and kept burning for more than a month, thousands of books were permanently gone. Students from all parts of the world including China, Greece, Japan, Europe, Middle East used to study there. Even the gatekeeper was as intelligent as a professor. Women were the vice chancellors like Loupmudra, Maitreyi, Gayatri, etc.
Our sages, philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, astrologers, astronomers, biologist, etc of ancient times had calculated the distance between sun and earth, time for revolution of earth, moon, the galaxy, the solar system's working, they created yoga, dhyān (meditation) , art, dance, architecture, all the things and this even baffels modern scientists.
Our temples, show such unique and mind blowing architecture, which none can explain. You can find one to be upside down, or carved from a single huge rock, over the ocean, etc and with highly detailed sculptures. Many show amazing things like producing music from pillars, a levitating pillar, levitating idols, a rock inside a lion's mouth made out of totally different rock than the lion, (ball can't be removed). This culture is so vast.
All. I wanna say is that we love China, we love the world, especial Asia, it is our family. I am proud of your culture as much I am about mine. I just wanted to tell you the divine relationship between us since ancient times, not to prove superiority. On Earth, china is one of the most beautiful places , with beautiful culture and people, I love it. I love China, I love Asia, I love Bharat.
Namaskar, may God bless you🕉️🌺🙏🏻☺️
@@princesadelareina369 Bharat indefinitely is a myth. It's not history. The largest recorded Indian empire is Muaryan empire which at its peak stretched from Bengal to Afghanistan and to Tamil Nadu. But even its peak didn't last more than 40 years. After Ashoka's conversion to Buddhism, Mauryan empire started to decline. Even at its peak, Muaryan empire didn't spread beyond Bengal & Afghanistan. I admit anything that is historical but Bharat? Sorry myths are myths.
No, Kalaripayattu is not the mother of martial arts. Different civilizations had different martial arts thousands of years before something called Kalaripayattu even existed. Chinese martial arts had flourished long before anything Indian reached China. Chinese Shaui Jiao is at least 1000 years older than Kalaripayattu. The Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Greeks, Chinese, all had their own martial arts predating Kalaripayattu by thousands of years.
All ancient civilizations had sophisticated knowledge on different fields of science, technology, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, architecture, biology, anatomy, astrology and so on. Many ancient civilizations had calculated the distance between Sun and earth, time for revolution of earth, the moon, the galaxy, solar system's working and etc which baffles modern scientists. For example, the ancient Greeks and Chinese even knew about Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy etc. Chinese, Greeks, Mayans, etc could even predict eclipses accurately. Various ancient civilizations like Egyptians, Mayans & Chinese also developed calendars based on astronomical observations to track time, to plan agricultural activities and to schedule religious festivals. The Greeks, Romans, Chinese etc also observed the reproductive cycles of various organisms and wrote about topics such as fertilization and embryonic developments.
Forms of meditation even existed in different civilizations. For example, ancient Chinese taoist practitioners taught how to meditate by harmonising body & soul. That happened before anything Indian reached China.
The 22,000 km Great Walls Of China built 2000 years ago still stand firm today. The Pyramid of Giza still stand strong after braving all natural phenomena for 4600+ years. Just few examples that stand as testimony of ancient engineering, architecture & science. All other civilizations did what India did or the vice versa.
All human civilizations have contributed equally for the advancement of human kind.
Chinese paper making techniques reached India not later than 7th century. By 13 & 14th century, Chinese papers had virtually replaced the traditional Indian writing materials. Chinese papers were easy to make, easily available and affordable, hence revolutionizing the dissemination of knowledge. Oral traditions tho ancient are susceptible to distortion, omission, and loss over time. Details may be forgotten or altered with each retelling, leading to inaccuracies and the loss of valuable information. Other traditional writing materials were not easily available, not easily affordable and least convenient. Thus after arrival of Chinese papers, India did use it to produce thinkers, philosophers, mathematicians, scientists, doctors, engineers etc. Even today, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, researches and so on continue to use Chinese papers. Guns, gun powder, bombs, rockets, missiles are all ancient Chinese inventions. I wonder how long India would be able to survive as a country today if it doesn't use those Chinese inventions. India's space exploration missions will also be not possible without rockets. Even rice originated from China & reached India. Today it's the most consumed food in India. Tea originated from China is the favorite drink of Indians. Noodles like maggie remain the favorite fast food in India. China did and continue to have a huge influence on India.
Since the ancient times India and China were culturally linked. India has exported lots of different culture to China.

Brazilians don't know beans about China. Since I began learning Chinese, I've been trying to read about western and central China. Interestingly, some of their foods are similar to Brazilian ones. There are also similarities in some religious buildings, despite the differences between Christianity and Buddhism. Haha. Dunhuang is a osais Wow. And cities big walls? 33 cities has at least 1
Buddhism is indian😂
There is a HHHUUUGEE difference between Buddhism and Christianity. Buddhism is inclusive and Christianity is exclusive. Christianity is theistic, and Hinduism is non theistic.

MY DREAM IS TO GO CHINA LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳💝🙏🏻
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳. Do u guy know bodhidharma an indian prince who is related to shaolin
I knew something about #Dunhuang. It was an important trading centre in the old silk route that’s why many Buddhist monks were living in the cave monasteries. The monks have preserved so many material about philosophies art culture related to Buddhism.Although in India we have lost many historical records in India due to many foreign invention but these records are preserved in these Chinese, Sanskrit prakrit and Pali language texts…..In India for exploring ancient history we take support of these text….
Wow is amazing video. I love general culture, but chinese culture is other level
I think Thai people are more Indian than Chinese in terms of culture.
Yes... We like Gold earing and more similarities❤
Americans know from elementary school the story of Marco Polo of the 1270s. They're told, he "discovered" the far east. But, they're not frequently taught he traveled along the already then centuries-old Silk Road which was first established in 130 BCE
You are joking right? Do you even know that Emperor Ashoka sent several indians to China to spread culture. Infact the Chinese themselves requested it. Marco Polo is a very recent phenomenon when it comes to the east. We don't take him seriously.
I love Chinese culture 💕
The picture on the thumbnail is the DunHuang aesthetic which probably does have a lot of inspirations from other cultures during the time of the silk role. Its also based off the murals on the cave walls over there. DunHuang was at the crossroad of the silkroad. Just wanna say it unlike some country who steals left and right 😊
Who?
@yoannes6882 the country? South Korea. China and Japan have a running joke, "South Korea created the universe" 🥴
Many Chinese , Tibbetian , Japanese , Koreans used to come to India to study in Taxila , Nalanda and Vikramshila university.
The Chinese culture is derived from India and "sanatan dharm"
True at least chinese native culture
😂Sorry not true at all. We have our own culture, yes buddissm came from Nepal but that doesn't mean buddisn shaped China lol. Because buddish broke away from hindusm 😂
@@user-uy9zm8sf2ybruh Hinduism is older than buddhism and buddhism came from Hinduism so of course it has borrowed a lot from Hinduism!!!
Do you even know anything?
This is all hindu influence. Even on buddhists and buddhism.
@@user-uy9zm8sf2y Thats false because Buddhism is part of Hinduism. Hinduism is the superset and Buddhism is a subset. In simple words Hinduism= China, Buddhism = Shangai. You can't say Shangai is different from China. It's plain nonsense.
@@phoenixj1299 do you understand what orthodox and catholic and protestant mean?
I am Australian born, but I am Indonesian descended from my parents. I have met a-lot of international Chinese friends whilst I was studying in high school and university in Australia. Though I am Asian genes and my culture (Indonesian) also have the same rich culture as China, I have always wanted to visit in mainland China. My experience visiting in China was speechless because I grew up in the western world and throughout my life what I've been told from western media is that China isn't a great place to visit because of its communist party and CCP etc. My experience visiting in China years ago was speechless and mind-blown because I grew up in Australia and throughout my life and what I've been told from the western media is all negative comments about China. My curiosity said otherwise lol, so I visited China and I was amaze on how big your infrastructure is, riding the world fastest bullet train behind the Japanese technology (Which fun fact, thanks to China helping my parents birth country - Indonesia they help build and funded Indonesia first Bullet Train and was the first Southern Asian country to do it as well, I have ridden it as well it was the same as China's one!). I have also visited in Shanghai China and I amaze and still speechless on how freaking BIG it is compare to Australia, so much great infrastructure, technology engineering is way ahead to Australia if im being honest lol. I have also visited the great wall of China, but I have not visited the whole China in the country side or anywhere else because China is such a big country. One day if ever come back to China I would for sure visit "Dunhuang Culture" in China, there so much to see in planet earth. I have also recently graduated my undergrad this year and though I am university educated, I do not know everything in life and I am learning new things everyday! That's one thing I have learnt growing up in life, is that there is so much to see in the world, and I am learning new things everyday! If humanity all had the opportunity to see everyone arts and culture without needed a visa and passport to visit every country, the world would be more connected and harmonious and more intellectual.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Curiosity makes us continual learners, ever eager to explore new ideas and perspectives.😊
Born and raised in Australia yet you write like you are ESL being paid to post positive comments. "I would for sure visit 'Dunhuang Culture'" c'mon bro, put some effort into this, you just pasting the topic and not the actual location into your script. Actual Australian's are very aware of how big and "technology engineering" China is because their government hasn't built a complex nationwide firewall to censor their access to the internet.
Thank you 💗🙏
I love the D'un Huang relics too!
I love China😍😭❤
Confusionism is the most important thing of Chinese Culture for me.
I think Confucianism is the basis of Chinese culture
In my country Pakistan we usually taught and know about Chinese new year eve . Food . Hanfu . And hanging fei posters and good luck charms around house . And everything scarlet adorned . I wonder about wuxia . How it came in culture ?
I know of Dunhuang because of Lay’s “Flying Apsaras”. It has lots of Buddhist influence too.
I love Sanatan culture❤
Chinese culture heavily influenced by Indian culture .... That's a fact .
But some will not agree because of their half knowledge or not accepting the fact of old indian civilisation .
Truth will be truth whether you believe or not .
its not true
Mog or moga means giant . In India there are Moga and Shivammoga or Shimoga cities .
I’m curious about all those books behind you!
I was really unaware of Dunhuang . 😮
It's funny how Indians have now started claiming Chinese culture too, lol. They forget that Buddhism in China didn't come from modern-day India but from Gandhara, the second holy land of Buddhism, which is in Pakistan. This is the region most important to Chinese Buddhism, being the birthplace of Mahayana and Tantric Buddhism. Gandharans were the ones who spread Buddhism in East and Central Asia. A big part of the influence on Dunhuang is Gandharan art. Gandharans are the people who actually created the first statues (iconography) of Buddha; Buddhism before this was aniconic. Gandharan art itself is a blend of Hellenic and indigenous pakistani art styles, and Dunhuang seems like a perfect blend of Gandharan and indigenous Chinese art. Kizil caves in Xinjiang is another example of Gandharan art in China; you'll see that sculptures there have surprisingly European-looking faces. Absolutely beautiful!
As a person interested in both Gandharan and Chinese art, this place is absolutely heaven for me.
Love from Pakistan ❤🇵🇰
I mean, we all know how Indians are. Is there anything they haven't claimed yet?
OMG, that's exactly what came to my mind! Zoe mentioned the influence of Central Asian Buddhism on Dunhuang. Buddhism in Central Asia was Gandharan. Just a few weeks ago, I visited the Peshawar Museum and was absolutely mesmerized by those sculptures of Bodhisattvas. Gandharan art is the best of any other art forms of Ancient Pakistan (my opinion).
@@FarhadHocane Yep, Central Asian Buddhism was Gandharan. But Dunhuang is unique as it has much more Chinese influence. Gandharan and Chinese art are two that I am obsessed with. I would love to visit the Peshawar museum, ngl. It has the largest Gandharan collection ❤
I mean we all know how Indians are, is there anything which they haven't claimed yet?
Pakistan me kitne Buddhists hai Aaj ke din? Offend mat hojana, just pooch Raha hoon. Jawab pata hai do de dena, nahi to rehne do, koi baat nahi.😉
This is a dress of apsara who are dancers of indra the king of indian heaven. You can check out about aparsa and hindu mythology is full of them. It's not actually Chinese culture but indian culture which was spreaded to western china by Buddhists monks
Absolutely not!
Apsaras also exist in Buddhism. The apsaras here are related to Buddhism but it's all related.
