The Tang Dynasty was the most cosmopolitan and socially liberal dynasty in Chinese history. But still, there is a limit to the kind of deviancy they could tolerate.
Wei Zhang was one of the greatest ministers of all time. Taizong frequently politely bore his critiques to Taizong's benefit. After Wei's death, Taizong failed invading Korea afterwards saying "If Wei Zheng were still alive, he would not have allowed me to go on this campaign." afterwards restoring his monument and rewarding the Wei family for Wei Zhang's service. I hope you exapand on Wei Zhang at sometime in the future.
Seeing Li Yuan in the background playing his lute while his son was busy managing the empire and fighting back the turks has a small hint of tragedy behind it all.
doing very well, bro. As a Chinese who is familiar with Chinese history, I can say responsibly that you are very good at both your understanding of Chinese history and the depiction of the costumes of the characters in the corresponding period.
Li Shimin: come on let me see the records Scholors: no, an emperor cant see them Li Shimin:please? Scholors: fine Hundreds of years later: And Li shimin was the greatest chinese general of all time
Well there are still some materials he can't change, like the famous 大唐创业起居注 written by Wen Daya. The book is written before Li Shimin killed his brothers and seized the throne. If the records was reliable, Li Shimin is still one of the greatest generals in Chinese history. Maybe part of it was exaggerated. But still, one of the best. I mean afterall, he did take down most of the hard-bitten obstacles in path of Tang's reunification of China. Here's a list: Xue Rengao Liu Wuzhou Dou Jiande Wang Shichong Liu Heita These major opponents obliterated tons of famous generals from Li Yuan's clan. Yet all of them were relentlessly defeated by Li Shimin's force. Today, the battle of Hulaoguan where Li Shimin with his 3,500 cavalry crushed the Dou Jiande's 100,000 soldiers is still a essential material for Chinese cadets to learn.
Because south China was fully sinnicized during the Tang dynasty and also chinese people like to identify with prosperous dynasties ie how their ethnic group is named after the Han dynasty as well as their writing system.
Long before even then, we had already 和親ed our way into the Steppes. Given how fertile leaders were, they had many children. Many of them were descendants of Han too.
Some suggests Li Tang Monarchs have Toba Sabir/ XianBei blood ties as they are relatives to the Sui dynasty, and the Tobas are more Turkic unlike other Eastern XianBeis. This might explains why ShiMin could Negotiate with Jili Khan directly without an interpreter
Oh, it is actually quite easily traceable. Both Li Shimin'd grand mother and mother were part Xianbei. A lot of intermarriages took place between the noble families. So it's hard to tell exactly how many part xianbei they were. So, Li Shimin could be up to 75% Xianbei and his wife also came from a Xianbei family.
@@ZhangLee. I got no objection with the Lis to Sui: Yang clan or even to the Tobas and the treaty of WeiShui, but the Turkic part is still an estimation
After the collapse of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate due to the Rise of Yugur-Uigher Khaganate, most eastern Tiele Turks were assimilated into the Tang Chinese. So effectively, the hybrid Chinese Turkic dynasty lived on. Upto today, Southern Chinese call themselves Tang people rather than Han people. It was the Yuan Mongol dynasty that designated the Chinese as Han nationality.

The name of the Han people comes from the Han Dynasty, not the Mongols. You've read too much about fake history. Ancient China was a patriarchal society. They don't care too much about women's ancestry. There is a Chinese saying called "非我族类，其心必异"： It means that different races and we are not people of the same race, so loyalty is suspicious. This sentence is from the Tang Dynasty. The alien in this sentence refers to Turk. "胡无人，汉道昌"： kill all the nomadic barbarians, and let the Han civilization flourish and develop in the local area; This classic saying also comes from the Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty never thought they were Turks. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty only had a grandmother who was Xianbei, so there was little nomadic blood. Xianbei people are not Turks. They are nomadic people originating from Northeast China. Turkish history is full of falsehood.

@@godzillamothra5983 one of reason is Tang are very familiar with nomadic culture at the north (since they are most likely descendent of XianBei clan from the north). Han ruling system demand their people stay at fixed location and do agriculture work. This is a very fundamental practices that act as cornerstone for literally everything, culture, policy, government and administration. That is also the very reason why Han cannot control the plain even if they able to wipe everyone out on that land. Because anyone live at the plain will eventually adopt the nomadic culture and deviate from Han. No 'genuine Han' can live there because they cant plant their rice there. Tang run both nomadic system and han system. The highest level ruler can be referred as Khan (nomadic system) and Emperor (Han system) at the same time. They don't give a shxt about bloodlines and race (a significant trait of nomadic clan). They let nomadic clan handle the military part and let Han people run the administration stuff. Its a hybrid system. But that is also the reason of their downfall. The trait of nomadic clan being aggressive and robbing manners eventually turn against Tang Empire itself when expansion become too expensive. Nomadic clan do not have terrible gap in social hierachy (Eg: Temujin able to become a clan leader out of nowhere as a slave). That also mean they don't give a fxxk about history and social status. If the leader cant satisfy their need, then they do what they want to achieve it. Tang Empire already encountered countless scene like this (political dogfight within royal family) before their golden age end. They are essentially counting down to their death after the Empire tolerate the pseudo 'self-independence' by their warlord. The trait from overpowered military class cause the downfall of Tang Empire and it lead to countless coup like this even after they fall. The next 'China' tried to fix this by completely disarming the military class. And here we got Song dynasty as the weakest china in terms of military power, who try to go easypeasy with everyone.
So is Li Shimin the reason why the Turks migrated to the West and Turkic empires like the Seljuks and Ottomans exist and eventually the country of Turkey exists in Anatolia?? So Li Shimin is partially responsible for the end of the East Roman Empire and the Fall of Constantinople??
@Demir Bey the true Turks of the Turkish Khanate are the ones ruled by the Ashina clan. Before that there were only ‘Turkic’ people migrations to Europe and the Middle EastS
@Demir Bey I don’t refer to random nomads from Central Asia migrating West. I’m specifically saying their is a connection with the Turkish Khanate founded by the Ashina clan that was conquered by Tang Taizong of the Tang China with the Seljuks and Ottomans. Don’t modern Turks consider the Orkhon Inscriptions the earliest example of the Turkish language which is now spoken in Anatolia?
Sanskrits/ ShaTuo stayed & merged into the Han Chinese, royalties adopted surname Li as they "inherited" Tang realm. Others such as Keraites, Naimans become Kazakhs
Actually the han empire was partially responsible for the fall of rome. The han empire kicked the huns out of China, one group migrated westward and caused havoc in europe. And this groups of huns caused the Germanic tribes to move and attack the romans
This series on the Tang is really great. Helps me to understand my clan's ancient roots in the desert, and the kind of traits that have passed down to the present day from 600AD. It's presented in a superbly detailed and relatively light hearted way.
Tang Dynasty is a predominantly Chinese cultured Empire but also retained nomadic influences from the Xiongnu and the Xianbei peoples due to the 5 barbarian invasions after the war of the 8 princes. The foreign nomadic people started to mingle with the Chinese population after countless invasions. They were quickly sinicized and assimilated by the majority Chinese people as they swiftly adopted the agrarian Chinese way of life but also left their mark on the Chinese societies. But from the late Tang until the present day, the nomadic influences were lost in time, you can compare the Men's Rounded collared robe from early Tang and the late Tang. Early Tang era Round collared Robe were very tight but late era Tang rounded robe were big and loosen very much like the Song dynasty counterpart reflecting the gradual loss of nomadic influences. Same thing goes to the headgear, the Song Dynasty style long eared hat was actually first appeared during the late Tang period .

The only names we still remembered about ancient Turks were just Ashina Clan and familes. After they pledged loyalty to Taizong Emperor. There were no more any information about Turks in our history Book. I had met a lot of Turkish friends, they always asked me about their ancestors in Chinese history book.But I really can't answer too much, because as we knew, your direct ancestors Ashina families had already become Chinese over 1000 years…

The Tang Dynasty used some Turkish soldiers. But the Tang Dynasty is a complete Chinese dynasty, and the Turkish tribes are not all Turkish of Turkish origin. The first people were a small people. As for the Chinese and the Mongols, they are two very large peoples.
The Mongols were only one of hundreds of tribes that surrendered to the Han people, and the Mongols stood out until the civil wars of the Jin and Song Dynasties in China had no time to manage nomadic tribes, The Mongols dispatched all the troops to lay down a small town on the Chinese frontier and acquired a large number of Han armor and weapons. It was not until 20 years later that Genghis Khan was independent from China at the age of 49, and then conquered Central Asia and Eastern Europe before he dared to fight with the Jin Dynasty. Finally, the Mongolian Khan took the Han surname and implemented the Chinese writing system. The etiquette gained the recognition of the Han nationality in the north before conquering the Song Dynasty!
You need to realise there is Turkish (which anatolia former ottomans) There is Turkic. Turkic is a large group who were originally from mongolian steppes. Throughout history they moved west. But while being there they fought mostly with chinese. Huns, hephtalites, they all were turkic or proto turkic people. Well let me tell you Turks were not small like chinese. Mongols and Turks at certain time you could not distinguish between them. Turks are way more spread than you might think.

It is common practice until this Emperor Taizong breaks the rule, which is seen to be the most significant failure and stain of his reign. Before that, the strict rule is that the historians keeps the record and cannot be intervened by any power. And the job of historian in China is most of the time a hereditary job. One thing worthy noting is that in China there are mainly two types of historians, type one is who simply write the record (the raw material) of what happened, and type 2 is who coverts the raw records and other materials into history books. Usually, when a new dynasty overthrow the old one, the new dynasty will inherit the raw records of the old dynasty, and assign a historian to write a history book about the old dynasty. So in this sense, what Emperor Taizong did is a direct modification of the raw record and it is inevitably going to bias the later history book writing (although after many centuries), and that is why this is considered to be having a very negative influence.

8:09 Jiesheshuai's assasination attempt became a very popular subject in Turkey after a famous historical fiction novel about him by Nihal Atsız. He even created a new Turkish name for him and called him "Kürşad". Which became a popular name for male children.
It's pretty funny because "Han" Chinese especially in the North are likely a massive mix of Turkic, Mongol, Jurchen, and Chinese people. Chinese meaning the people birth-place of Han Identity which I believe is called "Zhong yuan". At this point "Han" is just a title for an agrarian lifestyle as China has had so much contact with Turks and Mongols. The Western "Xia" not to be confused with the Xia Dynasty was Xianbei or Mongol in origin and eventually became Chinese. Same for the later Tang dynasty (not to be confused with Tang) as they were ruled by the Shatuo Turkic tribe. A tribe that fractured from the Western Gokturks and under the rule of the Tang dynasty slowly became more and more Han before eventually simply viewing themselves as Han. Same happened to any foreign ruling dynasty besides the Yuan.

Ashina's appearance was strange: his hair is yellow, his complexion was completely red, and his eyes were lapis blue. - Yang Jian ////// According to Sinologist Penglin Wang, some Gokhturk had mixed west Eurasian-featured (Wusun/Tocharian/Yuezhi/Saka/Askuzai) traits such as blue eyes, blonde hair and white skin due to absorbing some Indo-European elements. The Gokhturk were described as white on several occasions. ///// Zhu Hong and Zhang Quan-chao studied Gokhturk crania from several sites of Inner Mongolia and noticed that anthropological features of studied Ashina crania show that the racial type is closely related to the modern East-Europeans, and some physical characteristics of those skulls are closer to modern Mongols, Manchu and Han Chinese.
why you list Saka and Askuzai when they are the same word in different language? lol Anyone knows the Gokturks are a mix of indo-iranian and Siberian tribes just like modern turks. Ashina literally means Blue/sky in iranic(assena) which has the same meaning as Gok/kok in gokturk.

Tang is Typical Chinese Dynasty ,Tang royal is Hanese ,less Xianbei genetic from mother side.not the Turk less Turk people or werrior etc join the Tang but not mean Tang is Turkic or half Turkic, also some Korean or Janpnese join the Tang, is it means Tang is "Sino-Korean " or " Sino-Janpnese" empire? also not all of in nomadic ethnic in North China called "Turkic" , only Gok Turkic is Turkic , Xianbei not Turk ,mongol not Turk, Uyghur not Turk.
hey Cool History Bros, can you be sure that "Tian" comes from "Tengri" but not "Tengri" comes from "Tian"? Or they just have common ancestor long long ago? Anyway, one thing can be sured is that "Tian" had been in Chinese for a very long time because it is a basic word that been used everywhere, but nomads didn't have concrete record.
Tang Dynasty was the greatest Chinese empire in history also the most golden age. What about Manchurians dynasty in modern times? they also as the second was 😄
The Qing owned the most land, but they caused China to slide into backwardness and many Chinese still blame the Qing for the humiliations at the hand of the British and other European nations.

Chanced upon this video. Nice animations but factually incorrect...the only “Sino-Turkic” link is the early threat posed by the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, which is swiftly removed by Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong’s paternal grandma Duchess Dugu, is of Xianbei origin, not Turkic. In response to the Eastern Turkic Khaganate’s incursion in 626 (led by Ashina Duobi, their last Khan), right away his ascension as Emperor, Taizong launched a military campaign against Eastern Turkic Khaganate in the Winter of 629 and succeeded in capturing Ashina Duobi by spring 630. Emperor Taizong eliminated this early menace to his empire but spared Ashina Doubi’s life and brought him to Chang’an where he was given a mansion to live out the rest of his life (arguably laying down Tang practice of providing generous treatment towards the rulers of conquered nations). Theses defeated rulers and their retinue settled in Chang’an over time and helped make the capital city and the Tang empire more cosmopolitan etc. Their descendants still live in Chang’an (modern-day Xi’an). Benevolence breeds benevolence. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much! I learned some interesting things. About the Turks, I would like to add something. First of all, the Ashina are thought to be an Iranic Tribe, that either conquered the Turkish speaking tribes or joined them peacefully in a confederation. The Ashina were probably related to the WUSUN-Tribe that lived around the Altai and Tian Shan. According to the New Book of Tang, the Ashina clan was a component of the Xiongnu confederation. The Tiele People or Gaoche were originally called Dingling People. The Dingling originally lived on the bank of the Lena River in the area west of Lake Baikal. So it was the union of Siberians and Indo-Europeans, that brought about the Koekturks.
(Late) Ashina were Turkic, probably using the legacy of a long-dead Scythian clan name, but thats the furthest stretch that can be said about their "iranicness". They spoke Turkic. All of their steles are in Turkic stating they were Turks, stressing their khaganate is only for Turks.

The Han ethnicity is sort of an artificial ethnicity where many non-Han and "barbarians" became Han through assimilation and cultural adoption. And many of the so called "barbarians" were actually quite advanced, and made up a large numbers of Chinese people in ancient times. For example, the largest kingdom of the Warring States period, the Chu Kingdom, had a native population of mostly non-Han people and the kingdom itself was considered quasi-barbarian like.
@@Intranetusa there’s no such term as Han in warring periods. Chu were just not central China people. Han refer to much bigger areas. Every one who once lived in Han dynasties. Even back then Han dynasty had people with some nomadic background and people with biyue . That composition of gene remains the same to the modern day Han Chinese. Race just referring to a group of people when the term first invented. Han Chinese is the same Han Chinese when the term first started.
@@papercat2599 During the Warring States period, the people who were later called the Han were the people of the central plains kingdoms. The Chu were originally non-Han people but eventually were assimilated into the Han category. The composition of genes of what is considered Han does not remain the same, since the integration of Austro-Asiatic Yue people in South China, Indo-Europeans in Western China, and the integration of northern nomadic people of the steppes and Manchuria have significantly changed Han genetics. They did a study on genetic differences among the Han people, and it varied significantly according to region - as different as a person from Korea or Japan.
@@Intranetusa how is it possible for chu, to be non Han. When Chu doesn’t even exist in Han dynasties period? Han never main central plan people. Han is everyone that’s within the empire. You don’t even make any sense. At this point you just making your own version history. Also no Manchu and Mongol leave pretty much no mark on modern Han gene pool. Because the Han population is so dominant throughout the history. The genetic structure of northern Han stays the same for 3000 years. Way before Mongol and Manchu exist. This is literally a well known scientific research. Check this website, also don’t try to to embarrass yourself anymore.
@@papercat2599 No, Han is not simply everyone within the empire. Are foreigners Han? Are barbarian nomads inside the empire Han? Of course not. The Han Dynasty created the name Han for people who followed a certain culture and originated from the central plains. Before the Han Dynasty, the Han people were just the people of the Central Plains. The word Han can be retroactively applied to people of the Central Plains, and the Chu people are not central plains people. You claim Northern Han genes stay the same for 3000 years? Stop making embarassing claims. Modern Southern Han are much closer to the original Han people in genes and language. Southern languages actually resemble ancient Chinese languages while northern languages like Mandarin were influenced by medieval nomadic barbarian languages. Also, the genetic difference between Northern Han and Southern Han is significant - like the difference between southern Han and Korean. The Northern part of China was invaded and taken over by northern steppe people for many centuries starting with the fall of the Jin Dynasty, 16 kingdoms, Sui-Tang era, Northern Jin Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty.

@@papercat2599 that is also the convenient way many assume for separating early Han from later Han because early Han had more Northern ppls assimilating adopting Han surnames and virtues long before the Han Dynasty，as it had been the Han cultural sphere and not a bloodline specific to a locale，as cultural assimilation by choice had been prominent even before the Shang period；interestingly many Han surnames bear traces of nomadic ancestry，tho that is another rabbit hole in itself
According to the logic of your Turks, I can't understand it at all. It has nothing to do with the Turks, but you have to come to recognize your ancestors.
@@volkanozturkmen6245 Tang's emperors had ancestors (linked by mothers) of Xianbei whose y chromosome is C haplogroup same as Mongolians. So not Turks.

Hundreds of years later: And Li shimin was the greatest chinese general of all time
Well there are still some materials he can't change, like the famous 大唐创业起居注 written by Wen Daya.
The book is written before Li Shimin killed his brothers and seized the throne. If the records was reliable, Li Shimin is still one of the greatest generals in Chinese history. Maybe part of it was exaggerated. But still, one of the best.
I mean afterall, he did take down most of the hard-bitten obstacles in path of Tang's reunification of China. Here's a list:
Xue Rengao
Liu Wuzhou
Dou Jiande
Wang Shichong
Liu Heita
These major opponents obliterated tons of famous generals from Li Yuan's clan. Yet all of them were relentlessly defeated by Li Shimin's force. Today, the battle of Hulaoguan where Li Shimin with his 3,500 cavalry crushed the Dou Jiande's 100,000 soldiers is still a essential material for Chinese cadets to learn.
Always wondered why my parents refer to our race as Tang-Ren (people of Tang) in Cantonese.
Same with other overseas Chinese descendants in South East Asia
*Tong-Yan
Because south China was fully sinnicized during the Tang dynasty and also chinese people like to identify with prosperous dynasties ie how their ethnic group is named after the Han dynasty as well as their writing system.
Sui Dynasty's emperors were referred as saint Khan by Turkic tribes.
Long before even then, we had already 和親ed our way into the Steppes. Given how fertile leaders were, they had many children. Many of them were descendants of Han too.
Some suggests Li Tang Monarchs have Toba Sabir/ XianBei blood ties as they are relatives to the Sui dynasty, and the Tobas are more Turkic unlike other Eastern XianBeis. This might explains why ShiMin could Negotiate with Jili Khan directly without an interpreter
Oh, it is actually quite easily traceable. Both Li Shimin'd grand mother and mother were part Xianbei. A lot of intermarriages took place between the noble families. So it's hard to tell exactly how many part xianbei they were. So, Li Shimin could be up to 75% Xianbei and his wife also came from a Xianbei family.

After the collapse of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate due to the Rise of Yugur-Uigher Khaganate, most eastern Tiele Turks were assimilated into the Tang Chinese. So effectively, the hybrid Chinese Turkic dynasty lived on. Upto today, Southern Chinese call themselves Tang people rather than Han people. It was the Yuan Mongol dynasty that designated the Chinese as Han nationality.

Bullshit,You do not understand Chinese language,and can not read Chinese ancient history books.
The name of the Han people comes from the Han Dynasty, not the Mongols. You've read too much about fake history. Ancient China was a patriarchal society. They don't care too much about women's ancestry. There is a Chinese saying called "非我族类，其心必异"： It means that different races and we are not people of the same race, so loyalty is suspicious. This sentence is from the Tang Dynasty. The alien in this sentence refers to Turk. "胡无人，汉道昌"： kill all the nomadic barbarians, and let the Han civilization flourish and develop in the local area; This classic saying also comes from the Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty never thought they were Turks. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty only had a grandmother who was Xianbei, so there was little nomadic blood. Xianbei people are not Turks. They are nomadic people originating from Northeast China. Turkish history is full of falsehood.

Tang Dynasty believed offense is the best defense. Under Tang, great wall was neglected
dont have to defend from the nomads if there are no nomads. 5head move there
@@jonsong4592
true, that is actually the best strategy
@@godzillamothra5983 one of reason is Tang are very familiar with nomadic culture at the north (since they are most likely descendent of XianBei clan from the north).
Han ruling system demand their people stay at fixed location and do agriculture work. This is a very fundamental practices that act as cornerstone for literally everything, culture, policy, government and administration. That is also the very reason why Han cannot control the plain even if they able to wipe everyone out on that land. Because anyone live at the plain will eventually adopt the nomadic culture and deviate from Han. No 'genuine Han' can live there because they cant plant their rice there.
Tang run both nomadic system and han system. The highest level ruler can be referred as Khan (nomadic system) and Emperor (Han system) at the same time. They don't give a shxt about bloodlines and race (a significant trait of nomadic clan). They let nomadic clan handle the military part and let Han people run the administration stuff. Its a hybrid system.
But that is also the reason of their downfall. The trait of nomadic clan being aggressive and robbing manners eventually turn against Tang Empire itself when expansion become too expensive. Nomadic clan do not have terrible gap in social hierachy (Eg: Temujin able to become a clan leader out of nowhere as a slave). That also mean they don't give a fxxk about history and social status. If the leader cant satisfy their need, then they do what they want to achieve it. Tang Empire already encountered countless scene like this (political dogfight within royal family) before their golden age end. They are essentially counting down to their death after the Empire tolerate the pseudo 'self-independence' by their warlord.
The trait from overpowered military class cause the downfall of Tang Empire and it lead to countless coup like this even after they fall. The next 'China' tried to fix this by completely disarming the military class. And here we got Song dynasty as the weakest china in terms of military power, who try to go easypeasy with everyone.
Thank you for this great video!
So is Li Shimin the reason why the Turks migrated to the West and Turkic empires like the Seljuks and Ottomans exist and eventually the country of Turkey exists in Anatolia?? So Li Shimin is partially responsible for the end of the East Roman Empire and the Fall of Constantinople??
@Demir Bey the true Turks of the Turkish Khanate are the ones ruled by the Ashina clan. Before that there were only ‘Turkic’ people migrations to Europe and the Middle EastS
@Demir Bey I don’t refer to random nomads from Central Asia migrating West. I’m specifically saying their is a connection with the Turkish Khanate founded by the Ashina clan that was conquered by Tang Taizong of the Tang China with the Seljuks and Ottomans. Don’t modern Turks consider the Orkhon Inscriptions the earliest example of the Turkish language which is now spoken in Anatolia?
Sanskrits/ ShaTuo stayed & merged into the Han Chinese, royalties adopted surname Li as they "inherited" Tang realm. Others such as Keraites, Naimans become Kazakhs
Actually the han empire was partially responsible for the fall of rome.
The han empire kicked the huns out of China, one group migrated westward and caused havoc in europe. And this groups of huns caused the Germanic tribes to move and attack the romans

Really love ur channel
This series on the Tang is really great. Helps me to understand my clan's ancient roots in the desert, and the kind of traits that have passed down to the present day from 600AD.
It's presented in a superbly detailed and relatively light hearted way.
Tang Dynasty is a predominantly Chinese cultured Empire but also retained nomadic influences from the Xiongnu and the Xianbei peoples due to the 5 barbarian invasions after the war of the 8 princes. The foreign nomadic people started to mingle with the Chinese population after countless invasions. They were quickly sinicized and assimilated by the majority Chinese people as they swiftly adopted the agrarian Chinese way of life but also left their mark on the Chinese societies. But from the late Tang until the present day, the nomadic influences were lost in time, you can compare the Men's Rounded collared robe from early Tang and the late Tang. Early Tang era Round collared Robe were very tight but late era Tang rounded robe were big and loosen very much like the Song dynasty counterpart reflecting the gradual loss of nomadic influences. Same thing goes to the headgear, the Song Dynasty style long eared hat was actually first appeared during the late Tang period .
yes that's correct
umm not really , not entire correct or wrong either just a piece in bigger picture
@@tungnguyenba627 fact that you don`t even understand the term " national outfit" is quite impressive for you to write this cmt , see people nowaday from both goverment agents and civilian wear Vest or Veste does it make Vest become national outfit ??
@@ZhangLee. I also did not offend. The truth can be seen in the Qing Dynasty in China and the Nguyen in Vietnam. Their styles are completely different from those used in the previous centuries. The entire population wears shirts with similar texture, the short length can be different. Although cross-collared robe styles still appear, they are only used for rituals, or high honor in society, on formal occasions (the Nguyen dynasty in Vietnam.
This is different from today's Vest suits. Clothes vary, and vest worn on formal occasions, when you go to work ...
Round collared Robe in the Tang era is not like Vest, worn by all classes, even the inner layer is Round collared Robe.

Ethnic Chinese refers them either as 唐人(tang people) or 漢族 (Han people). Han and Tang dynasties are considered the golden eras of Chinese civilization. In recent years, Tang Dynasty period tv series, movie and online novels are getting very popular.

The Tang Dynasty used some Turkish soldiers. But the Tang Dynasty is a complete Chinese dynasty, and the Turkish tribes are not all Turkish of Turkish origin. The first people were a small people. As for the Chinese and the Mongols, they are two very large peoples.
The Mongols were only one of hundreds of tribes that surrendered to the Han people, and the Mongols stood out until the civil wars of the Jin and Song Dynasties in China had no time to manage nomadic tribes, The Mongols dispatched all the troops to lay down a small town on the Chinese frontier and acquired a large number of Han armor and weapons. It was not until 20 years later that Genghis Khan was independent from China at the age of 49, and then conquered Central Asia and Eastern Europe before he dared to fight with the Jin Dynasty. Finally, the Mongolian Khan took the Han surname and implemented the Chinese writing system. The etiquette gained the recognition of the Han nationality in the north before conquering the Song Dynasty!
You need to realise there is Turkish (which anatolia former ottomans)
There is Turkic.
Turkic is a large group who were originally from mongolian steppes. Throughout history they moved west. But while being there they fought mostly with chinese. Huns, hephtalites, they all were turkic or proto turkic people.
Well let me tell you Turks were not small like chinese. Mongols and Turks at certain time you could not distinguish between them.

TIL the court historians were supposed to work without the emperor looking at what they write about him. Is it really the standard practice?
It is common practice until this Emperor Taizong breaks the rule, which is seen to be the most significant failure and stain of his reign. Before that, the strict rule is that the historians keeps the record and cannot be intervened by any power. And the job of historian in China is most of the time a hereditary job. One thing worthy noting is that in China there are mainly two types of historians, type one is who simply write the record (the raw material) of what happened, and type 2 is who coverts the raw records and other materials into history books. Usually, when a new dynasty overthrow the old one, the new dynasty will inherit the raw records of the old dynasty, and assign a historian to write a history book about the old dynasty. So in this sense, what Emperor Taizong did is a direct modification of the raw record and it is inevitably going to bias the later history book writing (although after many centuries), and that is why this is considered to be having a very negative influence.
@@jialinlu5771 In this respect it's not very Chinese as it defeats the purpose of the historical recording system.
I'm not sure if I would consider Tang Taizong as the GOAT emperor of China. Definitely a top, but I would put Emperor Guangwu of Han or KangXi ahead

8:09 Jiesheshuai's assasination attempt became a very popular subject in Turkey after a famous historical fiction novel about him by Nihal Atsız. He even created a new Turkish name for him and called him "Kürşad". Which became a popular name for male children.
Wassup, Attila!
Kür Şad is not reaaally a "made-up" name. The probable transliteration of Jiesheshuai is between Kuru Şad Kürü Şad etc. range.
It's pretty funny because "Han" Chinese especially in the North are likely a massive mix of Turkic, Mongol, Jurchen, and Chinese people. Chinese meaning the people birth-place of Han Identity which I believe is called "Zhong yuan". At this point "Han" is just a title for an agrarian lifestyle as China has had so much contact with Turks and Mongols. The Western "Xia" not to be confused with the Xia Dynasty was Xianbei or Mongol in origin and eventually became Chinese. Same for the later Tang dynasty (not to be confused with Tang) as they were ruled by the Shatuo Turkic tribe. A tribe that fractured from the Western Gokturks and under the rule of the Tang dynasty slowly became more and more Han before eventually simply viewing themselves as Han. Same happened to any foreign ruling dynasty besides the Yuan.
Is it true that the Li family of the Tang dynasty is not Han Chinese?
Not ture. "Han Chinese" is a modern concept.
They are half blood of the stepp tribe "Xianbei" and the Han Chinese "Li".
Li Shimin had a grandmother who was Xianbei
All Chinese either settled Han or Chinese steppe nomads are Huaxia or descendants of Xia.

Tang Empire was the best in China.
Chanced upon this video. Nice animations but factually incorrect...the only “Sino-Turkic” link is the early threat posed by the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, which is swiftly removed by Emperor Taizong.
Emperor Taizong’s paternal grandma Duchess Dugu, is of Xianbei origin, not Turkic.
In response to the Eastern Turkic Khaganate’s incursion in 626 (led by Ashina Duobi, their last Khan), right away his ascension as Emperor, Taizong launched a military campaign against Eastern Turkic Khaganate in the Winter of 629 and succeeded in capturing Ashina Duobi by spring 630.
Emperor Taizong eliminated this early menace to his empire but spared Ashina Doubi’s life and brought him to Chang’an where he was given a mansion to live out the rest of his life (arguably laying down Tang practice of providing generous treatment towards the rulers of conquered nations).
Theses defeated rulers and their retinue settled in Chang’an over time and helped make the capital city and the Tang empire more cosmopolitan etc. Their descendants still live in Chang’an (modern-day Xi’an).
Benevolence breeds benevolence. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much! I learned some interesting things. About the Turks, I would like to add something. First of all, the Ashina are thought to be an Iranic Tribe, that either conquered the Turkish speaking tribes or joined them peacefully in a confederation. The Ashina were probably related to the WUSUN-Tribe that lived around the Altai and Tian Shan. According to the New Book of Tang, the Ashina clan was a component of the Xiongnu confederation. The Tiele People or Gaoche were originally called Dingling People. The Dingling originally lived on the bank of the Lena River in the area west of Lake Baikal. So it was the union of Siberians and Indo-Europeans, that brought about the Koekturks.
Ashina were mongolic
@@barguttobed no turkic
(Late) Ashina were Turkic, probably using the legacy of a long-dead Scythian clan name, but thats the furthest stretch that can be said about their "iranicness". They spoke Turkic. All of their steles are in Turkic stating they were Turks, stressing their khaganate is only for Turks.

Brilliant King..but is it true that china had been ruled by barbarians or non-han half of their total history.
The Han ethnicity is sort of an artificial ethnicity where many non-Han and "barbarians" became Han through assimilation and cultural adoption. And many of the so called "barbarians" were actually quite advanced, and made up a large numbers of Chinese people in ancient times. For example, the largest kingdom of the Warring States period, the Chu Kingdom, had a native population of mostly non-Han people and the kingdom itself was considered quasi-barbarian like.
@@Intranetusa there’s no such term as Han in warring periods. Chu were just not central China people. Han refer to much bigger areas. Every one who once lived in Han dynasties. Even back then Han dynasty had people with some nomadic background and people with biyue . That composition of gene remains the same to the modern day Han Chinese. Race just referring to a group of people when the term first invented. Han Chinese is the same Han Chinese when the term first started.
@@papercat2599 During the Warring States period, the people who were later called the Han were the people of the central plains kingdoms. The Chu were originally non-Han people but eventually were assimilated into the Han category. The composition of genes of what is considered Han does not remain the same, since the integration of Austro-Asiatic Yue people in South China, Indo-Europeans in Western China, and the integration of northern nomadic people of the steppes and Manchuria have significantly changed Han genetics. They did a study on genetic differences among the Han people, and it varied significantly according to region - as different as a person from Korea or Japan.
@@Intranetusa how is it possible for chu, to be non Han. When Chu doesn’t even exist in Han dynasties period? Han never main central plan people. Han is everyone that’s within the empire. You don’t even make any sense. At this point you just making your own version history. Also no Manchu and Mongol leave pretty much no mark on modern Han gene pool. Because the Han population is so dominant throughout the history. The genetic structure of northern Han stays the same for 3000 years. Way before Mongol and Manchu exist. This is literally a well known scientific research. Check this website, also don’t try to to embarrass yourself anymore.
@@papercat2599 No, Han is not simply everyone within the empire. Are foreigners Han? Are barbarian nomads inside the empire Han? Of course not. The Han Dynasty created the name Han for people who followed a certain culture and originated from the central plains. Before the Han Dynasty, the Han people were just the people of the Central Plains. The word Han can be retroactively applied to people of the Central Plains, and the Chu people are not central plains people. You claim Northern Han genes stay the same for 3000 years? Stop making embarassing claims. Modern Southern Han are much closer to the original Han people in genes and language. Southern languages actually resemble ancient Chinese languages while northern languages like Mandarin were influenced by medieval nomadic barbarian languages. Also, the genetic difference between Northern Han and Southern Han is significant - like the difference between southern Han and Korean. The Northern part of China was invaded and taken over by northern steppe people for many centuries starting with the fall of the Jin Dynasty, 16 kingdoms, Sui-Tang era, Northern Jin Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty.

So Mulan also Chinese by default now，天可汗
Mulan was actually nomadic in blood if she was a real person. She comes from a country with nomadic background. Who acts like Han Chinese.
@@papercat2599 that is also the convenient way many assume for separating early Han from later Han because early Han had more Northern ppls assimilating adopting Han surnames and virtues long before the Han Dynasty，as it had been the Han cultural sphere and not a bloodline specific to a locale，as cultural assimilation by choice had been prominent even before the Shang period；interestingly many Han surnames bear traces of nomadic ancestry，tho that is another rabbit hole in itself

According to the logic of your Turks, I can't understand it at all. It has nothing to do with the Turks, but you have to come to recognize your ancestors.
Nothing about Turks , actually closer to Mongolian .
How the fuck even that be possible kid work hard read more and learn more about Turkic people ;))
Turks and Mongols not same
@@volkanozturkmen6245 Tang's emperors had ancestors (linked by mothers) of Xianbei whose y chromosome is C haplogroup same as Mongolians. So not Turks. Turks' first king is Scythian with Y chromosome of haplogroup R1a and of course he ruled a mixed group of people with haplogroup C and Q. So I said not Turks but Mongolians.
Turk really problematic since then
Why ? 😄
