I just want to say that I greatly respect your work, and I think you're the best historical channel on RUclips. Keep up the outstanding work and thank you for it!
Appreciate your scholarly approach, acknowledging what is speculation and using source archaeological sites for evidence. Your work has far higher intellectual standards than most,,, That's refreshing. Curious lack of weapons and not much evidence of martial conflict.
thank you for making this video. I'm currently taking a collage course on Chinese art and this video gave me a wonderful foundation. so thank you so very much.
It is really facinating to note that early agriculturalists universally suffered poor health. Cultures slowly developed ways of producing highly nutritious food from agriculture, and health improved correspondingly. But we have recently lost a lot of the traditional ways of eating. Michael Pollan describes this well -- there is a deep wisdom in the kitchens of our great grandmothers. Whereas modern reductionist science tries to figure out which specific nutrients are missing from modern diets, your great grandmother probably got better health outcocomes, because she followed ancient food traditions that allowed large civilizations to flourish in spite of the health challenges associated with agriculture.
Cant wait for Chinese mythology and philosophy (Confucianism, Mozhism, Legalism, Daoism and Chinese Buddhism), the Han Wars of Unification, Sino-Roman Contacts and the rise of the Silk Road, the Late Song and the Mongol Period and Marco Polo, Zheng He's Voyages, the Late Qing Empire and Colonialism, the Chinese Diaspora in the West, the Xinhai Revolution and the Chinese Civil War, the Origins of Chinese Communism and the Political Structure of the Modern Chinese State.
Great vid, man. Perhaps, you could do one about the Indo-European peoples(Sogdians, Kushans, Tocharians, Wusun etc.) that populated Central Asia, Siberia and Northern China and how they disappeared? There isn't that much information about them(most that exists, I think, comes from either Chinese or Roman sources), but I'd be very interesting to watch.
They melted with central Asians in uyghers. Makes sense. Indo European cultures like scythians and early ancient Greeks burial are found in mongolia. Probably related to farther west indo Iranian or even ancestors of celts
I'm a fan of the "push" and "pull" models affecting eachother Hunter gather is a bad method for multiple people, the environment would clearly suffer at a point With less animals, less food, more need for innovation and crops have more time to grow and develop away from animals To me it just seems natural that there's more than one factor that exacerbate the problem I doubt the social hierarchy to a degree in comparison to the other two theories, but it is also possible Even if farmer brought in more food, it would take awhile to convince people (particularly testorone filled early chinese people) that hunter gather was less acceptable
I don't know if this is considered a separate model... But it has been suggested that agriculturalists out-competed hunter-gatherers, based on population alone. While the early agriculturalists were smaller, sicker and weaker, they outnumbered hunter-gatherers to such a great extent that it did not matter.
@@jeanli5747 these objects are called axes because of their shape in the textboos- actually, I have seen those ; as bells, they have a strong sound when hanging and struck
Wonder why settlers didn't build underground escape routes, b/c I'm only now fully appreciating the fear of being attacked by nomads. I can only imagine the sound of thunder and feeling a nighttime vibration alerting me, my family and village to imminent danger. With an underground system, they could have escaped, perhaps abandoning the village for long periods of time, but time and again, in ancient history, peasants have no escape from incoming danger and fell prey to rape, murder and unfortunately often slavery, watching their homes burned to the ground.
Rice wine is oldest drink in China. Not current Baijiu (100 year ish) . Distilling technique probably brought to china from India in the mongolia's yuan dynasty .
Hi. I believe there is a chance that I have inadvertently stumbled upon a significant discovery regarding the subject matter of this video. I wish to offer it to academia, in relative IP safety, or any theory junkies with funding. I came here looking for anything that might point me toward my next step. ..... It may also be nothing, I'm aware of that, but, by my standard for validation and corroboration, it was strongly validated. I feel I owe the universe the respect of accepting it's call to service, and spreading the information. Any suggestions?
In general, I support tariffs. I don't really think that Trump will implement tariffs very intelligently, however, so I find myself landing on indifference.
Your intellectually responsibility is getting worse. No Chinese archeologists say Chinese culture goes back to time immemorial. You can disagree but you shouldn't ridicule people. They claim Chinese culture emerge from particular Neolithic cultures due their common cultural elements that continue to exist till present day. There's alot to argue here. If you want you can bring that up but you can just not mention them at all. But you should be respectful to people you do mention. Especially since your knowledge in this area is pretty limited.
@@moodist1er The Chinese use "ch" to sound like "ch". For example the word "eat" in Chinese is 吃，pronounced “chi" which sounds like the "chi" in "chip".

Beautiful! My term paper and whatnot aside, this is pretty fascinating stuff. Keep up the good work dude!

Great work. Very concise clear and informative. Well done.

I actually released a video on Chinese foundation myths back in March or April.

Perhaps I will get around to that one day. As things stand, I don't have a strong enough background on that topic to make a good video.

More on Ancient the earliest Chinese settlements and cultures Stone Age, please and thank you
The Shang/Liangzhu connection has echoes of how Rome looked to Greece for an account of its origins.
I hope that you will tell us about the Xia this year 😀

thanks a lot for interesting info, but the axe looks green to me, albeit dark green
It's not axe when it's made with jade. It's a symbol of power

I wish there was more history of China done in English
Did they wear fur, have body paint, hunt alot, worship totems, live in houses made of wood, practice chief?
There are giant Earth Pyramids from the time of the end of the last ice age, about 10.000 years old or more in China.

Since we are talking about China.....
Thersites, what's your opinion regarding Trump's trade war against China?
In general, I support tariffs. I don't really think that Trump will implement tariffs very intelligently, however, so I find myself landing on indifference.
I think this is the best explanation I can find from an economist point of view.

6:14 What about the high model? People did agriculture to make alcohol, opium, psilocybin etc.
Nice

It will happened eventually ......2 yrs later 😂

Compare and contrast with neolithic cultures in europe...

"Xia" sounds like "Zsa" as in "Zsa Zsa Gabor".
I thought X sounded like ch
