While I agree that it’s impossible t equate modern China with ancient China due to the continius cultural evolution and mixing over thousands of years. China has had consistent cultural elements over that Long ass period of time. The mere fact that there is a common mythology associated with the people and land points towards some sort of idea that there is a Consistent identity the Chinese could point towards.plus government is a crucial aspect of culture and cultural identity. Because government itself and how it functions is a product of culture. So having a consistent form of government for the past 2000 years around the same area of land and people qualifies is as a nation in my opinion.

Not really. Yao named his country 'Xia', but he did not intent to pass the throne to his son. His son killed the person that he was gonna pass the throne, so Yao was forced to pass the throne to his son. Yao's son passed the throne to his son which started the Xia Dynasty. However, Yao did not intent to start a dynasty.
Matthew Liu so the dynasty only starts when his son ascends to the throne. Moreover, I remember that the intended successor was not killed but simply ignored by other tribal leaders?

The age of China is either four thousand years or forty years. It depends on your perception of a state's age. For me, it is a forty-year old regime on a territorial area consistently inhabited by the same ethnicity and culture of people. I request you guys to do the painful task of compiling your supposed age of this country into a single sentence.I want to learn your opinion. Thanks. ---------- Khanubis deserves a shout-out for another thorough and very well-explained video! I love this Egyptian-seeming American-born Passportia-ruling German-citizen educational RUclips star.
Modern China, as we know it now, was formed only in 1912 after the collapse of the Manchu Qing dynasty. According to your logic, we can connect any people of Asia with the Sumerian civilization in Western Asia or the Jeytun civilization that arose in the Neolithic era in Central Asia, or we can say that the Scythians are the ancestors of the Hindus Persians Turkic Mongols and Slavs. but we all know that this is nonsense, because none of these Nars will be able to understand the Scythian, just like a modern Chinese person will not be able to understand a person from the Shang dynasty.
I too can come up with such nonsense; about 35 thousand years ago, the ancestors of modern Europeans began to come to Europe from Africa through Asia Minor, and the ancestors of Europeans who remained in Africa and Asia built Luxor, Abydos, Uruk, Kish, etc., according to this logic, modern Europeans can claim the history of Egypt and Mesopotamia.
The Chinese did not need any other cultures they were the centre of their own universe they were content to be left alone and live by their own faith and beliefs
I mean….can we really count China? Given the China broke again, now it’s whole again, now it broke again, I think it is more fair to say China is the oldest culture/civilization but not the oldest state.
He basically touched on what is China towards end there. But I would agree. As a nation state it’s like max 100 years old. As a civilisation state it is very very old.
it really is pretty annoying when people talk about "china" without a definition of what "china" is. i tend to go with china being a group of people from basically the same area with similar culture and including other ethnic groups in the borders of modern china(s). Han on the other hand, is that specific group of people defined as "chinese" by the han or xia people or...know what i give up. it is what you want to believe it is.
The Yellow River is much less stable than the Yangtze and changes course much more frequently and violently. So flood myths from civilization near the Yellow River is totally understandable.
Well, yes that's true. I think I was more referring to a "myth" of cataclysmic flooding, above and beyond the usual seasonal inundation. I imagine the ancient Chinese had floods, then they had the myth of a FLOOD. Just like everywhere else in the world. I don't think the entire world flooded at once, but the big flood from all the myths and religious stories was most likely a series of localized floods that essentially affected a huge portion of the human species at the time (early humans did tend to coalesce around river valleys and coastlines). So you're right, but I was trying to reference something a little deeper.
The Chinese civilization is old, but it is not even in the same ballpark of being the earliest civilization in history. Even if we take for granted the existence of the mythical Xia dynasty, it would place the origin of the Chinese civilization at around 2070 BCE. On the other hand, Uruk (the first Mesopotamian city built that we know) was founded around 4000 BCE. The difference in time between the birth of the Mesopotamian civilization & the birth of the Chinese civilization is about the same as the difference in time between the destruction of the 2nd temple of Jerusalem by the Romans & modern day.
The time scale of ancient times is different with today's. The developing speed grows exponentially by time. Primitive mans evolved for a million years but still lived on hunting while new technologies get invented everyday today.

Does regurgitating facts and quotes taken out of context from the classics or latest bestselling non-fiction books make you feel like you're king of the world?

It'll get your soundbites in and you can be done with it in no time. Unlike this advertisement.
I wouldn't call chinese culture the oldest culture. Because in my opinion, the 18th century Han culture (main chinese culture nowadays) would have been quite unrecognizable for a Han of the 1st millennium BCE, as a Roman visiting 18th century Rome wouldn't even speak the same language.
Yeah no shit, at the first glance the Han Chinese dressed like the Manchus. But you are still horribly wrong considering how your horribly underestimated the Chinese characters and Classical Chinese literatures that didn’t change a bit since 2th century BC how 27 century old poem are still taught and vaguely understandable from literature’s point of view. There are philosophical traditions that had been established before the Han dynasty formalized as state eduction no matter who ruled China, Han, Jurchens, Mongols and Manchus alike. Classical Chinese was largely based the vernacular Chinese from 27 centuries ago… with consistent grammatical structures… the literature based on this written form of language only exploded in numbers without the change of its structure. In modern days, even with the difference between traditional Chinese simplified Chinese and Kanji shinjitai, people will still end up, especially the Chinese, recognizing the meaning of the words reading the street signs even in S Korea with its mere occasional occurrence of Hanja in form of traditional Chinese. And now the architecture…
That Roman Latin example is just so horrible bad as it adopts such narrow minded European centric view on a culture, a civilization that fundamentally worked in so many different ways. Of course, Europeans changed that thought colonialism.
