    Aladdin wasn’t Chinese. He was an Arab that lived in China.. and that’s because during the golden age of Middle East many Arabs would go to China and study there. The story tho is set in China but he isn’t Chinese

      You know there a place in west China called Kashgar right. And the people there are Chinese, but they are Muslims. They are also mixed with Pakistani, Afghani, Indians etc, that's why they have blue eyes and all that. Aladdin doesn't have to be an Arab just because he has Arabic name.

      Yoseph Khan I know that but the story of Aladdin himself he was an Arab.. he was never a Chinese man.. it was told by a Syrian merchant to Antonio and Antonio added the story.. just because it was set in China many assumed he was Chinese. He never was. In the golden age of Baghdad many Arabs traded with the Chinese and the Indians which is why China and India had a Muslim population.. the story, the character were all Arabs, but the setting was in China there is no denying that

    My dad being a soviet imagrant, we mostly watched Soviet movies and so for most of my life i have only seen the soviet version. And it surprises me how similar it is to the original story, there are still diversions, but much is preserved, its called Volshbnaya Lampa Aladina, made in 1967. If you understand Russian or can find it with subtitles i think you would enjoy it a lot.

    Some things Mark didn't mention:
    -there are two Genies in the story, the genie of the ring and of the lamp. The genie of the ring is limited in power ,only able to transport Aladdin and not perform any other act
    -the genie of the lamp does not wish freedom; in Arabic myth a bound Djinn is a willing servant (Ifrit)
    -the reason the sorcerer wanted a Chinese boy is that no Arab/Persian would be willing to listen to him. "China" is an old Arab term for anywhere distant and remote. Hence the sorcerer had to journey far away from the Middle East.
    -the story in fact has a cliffhanger, as all of the 1001 tales end on a cliffhanger

      @@XRMH Because it wasn't as divided as people make it seem to today. People actually mixed a lot back then more so than today. Either way, it is a shared story since that whole region was considered Asia in general. There isn't a real Chinese people anyway. China has a huge mix of people and languages including Arabic, and new born history of the two. Also lots of stories have been edited to fit that region. Tons of the "European" fairy tales were stolen from the middle east/Asia territory. But I digress. Honestly it doesn't matter at the end of the day. The lesson is in the story not the nationality of the people.

    the land of china in arabic literature and history, isn't only the eastern parts of china, but mainly western parts, the lands east of pakistan and tajikstan, and north of india. and there were muslims there during the era of the arabian nights, so that's why he has an arabic name.

    You got the thing about Genie/Jinni wrong. The Jinn (collective plural, singular: Jinni, numerical plural: Jinnat) are actually the demons of Abrahamic tradition, called the 'Shedim' in Hebrew literature and 'Daemon' in Greek New Testament texts. Unlike Jews and Muslims, Christians uniquely understand demons as exclusively malevolent and inhabiting the infernal regions as minions of the Devil. In pre-Islamic and pre-Judaic times, the Jinn/Shedim used to be worshiped as tutelary deities, a fact attested by both historians and Muslim and Jewish traditions. The Western concept of the Genie is wholly an orientalist's fantastical understanding of the Arabian Nights tales particularly from the story of the Wonderful Lamp, a.k.a. Aladdin.

  • @AbouTaim-Lille
    @AbouTaim-Lille 2 года назад

    If you read the stories mentioned in the "Arabian Nights" book , the character Aladdin was mentioned in a completely different story in which Aladdin happened to be the only son of an Egyptian merchant and then as a teenager this boy leads a caravan in his fir journey to Baghdad.... In that story he gets to know a beautiful girl named Jasmin who was a "jaria" (slave) and Aladdin pays the highest price in an auction to get her and then releases her and marries her.
    So this story has nothing to do with treasure hidden in a cave that also hides a magic lamp and a magic carpet . Coz this is actually the story of Alibaba who then proposes to the princess Bader-Al-Budoor the daughter of "Wali" (governor) of Shiraz a city in Persia which was then under the Abbasid caliphate control .

    @2:36, but friend, at the time the story supposedly was taking place, China was already a land of many faiths. Chinese Muslims, Chinese Jews and Chinese Christians have existed (and still do exist) in China for over (roughly) 1,500 years thanks to the Silk Road. Very often in relatively isolated communities. So Aladdin being a Chinese Arab (or a Chinese Muslim) IS coherent to the story.
    Also, I really appreciate this video. especially the part about Jafar's accent.

    And do you know that, 1001 nights is originally written by sunni muslim Iranians(Persians)?
    It got the name Arabian nights because many stories happened in Baghdad but Shahrzad (Shaharazada) and Shahreiar(The king and the story teller, the main characters) are actually Farsi, Iranian names and they lived in Iran(Persia) and the fact that many stories relate to Arabic countries and speciallu Baghdad is because of those Sunni writets respect toward the religious leader, Harun Al Rashid who ruled in Baghdad?
    She got story books from all over the world from her father and her stoey characters were from all over the world, the countries that were familiar to thise Iranian writers: Arabian countries, Iran, China and India etc.
    Nice video, bro. Someone had to talk about this👍🏻

    it's not called the Arabian Nights, it is originally called 1001 Nights. It was a series of stories which was told by Shahrzad, a Persian princess, to the Indian king called Shahryar. He kills his wife because she commits adultery and begins marrying virgins just to execute them the day after their wedding night. Shahrzad marries him but she starts telling him a bedtime story without finishing it and the story is set in the Arab world. The king doesn't execute Shahrzad because he wants to know the ending to the story while she keeps delaying the whole thing for 1001 nights but by then, the king has fallen in love with her and they live happily ever after.
