Great video. I'm always interested in Silk Road and Chinese-Non Chinese relations. I would highly suggest that you lower the background music or even better not have it for most or all of the video. I find generic background music to be distracting and unnecessary. I firmly believe people want to hear you speak/get information and not hear background music.
It is sad that Chinese people need Nord VPN to view a Chinese RUclips channel on Chinese history in China.
Your doing great service to us English speakers thirsty for this knowledge.
Here here!
I'm Persian and proud of your work. Mainstream media try hard to ignore our glorious history. When I see videos like this I'm thankful for people who do this. Thank you
marg bar ayatollah
If this is glorious history, than how should the Chinese feel? With a 5000 year old history and only invaded in the 19th and 20th century?
Persian is a great culture
@@jeuxdeterre6205 China had been invaded a lot of time and not just in 19th and 20th Century
@@jeuxdeterre6205 I think you just forgot that 2500 years ago China was a little part of our empire and the korean empire was older than China let alone Persian empire. Where civilizations begun
Chinese relations with Persia were so strong during the late Sasanian Empire because the Chinese had supremacy in Central Asia - the area that connected the two civilisations. But in 751 AD, precisely a hundred years after the fall of the Sasanian Empire, the Chinese lost the Battle of Talas (in modern day Kyrgyzstan) to the Abbasid Caliphate, who went on to replace the Chinese as the masters of the Central Asian region. From then on, Islamic influences replaced Chinese ones in Central Asia, and China was cut off from the region, and therefore reoriented away from Central Asia and the Middle East.
People keep talking about battle of talas. But that wasn’t at all a important battle for Tang Dynasty. Tang still holds great power and lose close to nothing from this conflict. The real incident that makes tang weak was always the an shi rebellion
Tang dynasty China Should had it own Monroe doctrine :(
@@ironheart5830 As cool as it might've been, you can't blame them for not really caring about Central Asia past a certain point. The Muslims at least had a motivation in the form of spreading their religious influence, but there wasn't really anything of strategic importance there for the Tang. At one point the Chinese sought Central Asia for good horses, but the Tang already had enough territory in the north to make this a non-issue.
@@perrytran9504 I don't think the Tang dynasty cared so much about who ruled Iran and Central Asia, probably no more than the Europeans did about the fall of the Ming dynasty.
Paper Cat
The battle allowed the Abbasids to send as many missionaries as they want leading to Central Asia becoming Muslim, it is important but not for China.
Finally someone made about this, lets goooooo
Kings and generals have made a video about the ant caliphate Alliance which is what this video talks about but the kings and generals channel talks about it in more detail. They have also made a series on the early Muslim conquests including the conquest of Persia.
@@mobeenkhan824 They're where I first learned about this, but it's cool to see more channels discussing it too. Everyone knows that the Sassanids were displaced with the rise of Islam, but not many stop to think of what happened to them beyond that.
Actually, Kings and Generals Made a video about the las sassanids un Tang China. Anyway, the More the better
Somebody tell Ubisoft to set their next Prince of Persia game in Chang An (Xian) and call it Last Prince of Persia and gamers will go WTF why’s it in China ?! when they boot up the game 😛
It would be even more awesome if they cover the conspiracy that Yang Guifei faked her death.
@@CoolHistoryBros how would have she according to this theory? It looks interesting. There are many theories like this. Joan of Arc, for example, was rumored to have escaped the pyre.
It was actually based on a poem written about her long after her death, so it can't be relied upon for factual accuracy. In Japanese folklore, Abe no Nakamaro brought her to Japan. Some Shinto legend even say that she was a Shinto God who went to China in disguise to ruin the country because it was rumoured that Tang wanted to attack Japan. Those legends are not based on any historical facts, of course, but it would make really fun game plots.
So if they incorporate the Yan Guifei conspiracy, the game would technically take place in China and Japan, basically any where but Persia.
I'll totally would buy it.
Strange how history reflects itself in the present. Now Iran is seeking China's aid in the face of US sanctions. The names might have changed but it is the same characters performing the same play.
Not really. Modern day Iran and modern China have little to do with the nations of the past and alliances shift every few decades. Iran was a US ally for most of the 20th century - such as when Iran was under the Shah's rule. China was sort of an ally of the USA after the Sino-Soviet split as China became hostile to the USSR.
@@Intranetusa I see it quite differently. The isolationist image we have of Iran & China is very much a recent phenomena.
In the past both regions were very cosmopolitan and interacted with each other. It was only during the Ming & Qing Dynasties that China started looking inwards.
In the later half of Mao's rule China had a split with Russia, but the relationship has thawed considerably in recent years.
@@426mak Yes. The Iranian Revolution and the Communist Revolution turned both Iran and China inwards and quasi-isolationist, which is in contrast to the historically much more open and cosmopolitan nations and governments that ruled over these regions in the past.
The games the game, players may change. But the game is the game, it just got more fierce
@@Intranetusa Modern day Iran and modern China have deep connections to the empires of the past. The people of Iran and China are keenly aware of those connections and their ambitions are tied into them. China and Iran are the most successful perennial superpowers in history, and it's quite likely that they will follow their typical pathways forward. The western view of history as strictly linear is both self-serving and short sighted. And China today is proving just how wrong that view is.
Congrats on the sponsor guys! and awesome topic here, thanks again for highlighting things that otherwise would just be left ignored.
Can we talk about how Aladdin was supposed to be Chinese in the original story he was in?
Way ahead of you, buddy.
I've already made a video about it: ruclips.net/video/z9byjwstN18/видео.html
If I'm not mistaken, Abe no Nakamaro (Chinese name: Cháo Héng) also became the governor of Annam (Vietnam).
That's right. Lots of interesting stuff happened around him. He was in the right place at the wrong time.

Another video with great content! Thank you!
Haven't checked this channel in a while, but damn!! It's already close to 50k subscribers. I remember when I got here, it was only 5k something. So glad this channel is growing up quickly. The combination of being historically accurate and entertaining (often in a funny way), is this channel's greatest forte. And yes, the Sassanid refuge to Tang was one of the most underrated events in history. We're talking about the big boys of the second half of the first millenium here.
He knows how the algorithm works, the algorithm favours channels that upload frequently, glad he is taking advantage of this.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, looking forward to the next one!
honestly, i want to give you praise for basically nailing the names of everything you are saying. like, it feels legit, alot of people will say something like "sorry if i butcher the names, im trying my best." but you can tell that an ounce of effort was even put into trying to say it correctly. so, i thank you for that.
also, just the sheer amount of research you guys probably have to do for the video, is commendable.
Awesome as always!
Congrats on the sponsor man!
Hey CJ, will you possibly do an episode on the Sogdians somewhere in the future? Can't really talk about Tang Dynasty's globalist outlook and cosmopolitan lifestyle without their presence in East Asia and beyond.
Just found your channel and LOVE it! Thanks!
I'm actually happy about the sponsor for once
Great video!
great thank you for sharing
I really enjoyed the video! Thank you for doing it.
I thought it was interesting and sad the Sassanids got in trouble due to bad luck. But glad the Tang was nice enough to offer them sanctuary.
more content please !!! best content
좋은 정보 감사합니다
Thank you for the helpful information.
Awesome piece in the link between ancient Persia and China
iranian student of history here.great channel with great contents
some corrections :
ctesiphon was located in mesopotamia not in media as you shown in the video,also persian emperors never paid tribute to chinese and never considered themseleve vassals of chinese emperor not before the fall of the empire
Yes, exactly Sasanian Empire was a superpower during the reign of Shapur I and II and again during Khosrow Anushirwan and Khosrow Parvez up until 626 CE.
u r right, I'm history student of China
Wow! You’re growing so fast! Congrats bro!

Wow nice video
I'm Japanese. It's fascinating to know the connection between Japan and Iran, because Iran has really significant and underrated culture and history.

There are many weebs/otakus in iran.
Can you also do Mughal Chinese Relations as well? And General Chinese-Muslim relations?
This is good stuff. We’re taught that the Arabs just steamrolled over the Sassanid Persians after being worn out from decades of fighting the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire. I knew something about The Sassanian Empire’s relationship with T’ang Dynasty China but didn’t know they had such a good relationship. 🙏🏽
But they were worn out
The Sassanian Dynasty was the second golden age of Persia they had good relationship with not only Chinese Kingdoms but with various Indian kingdoms too
It's amazing how interconnected everything is. I had no idea that a war all the way in Korea affected the Persians and Arabs.
Good video and very interesting story. There is a mistake though: the city of Ctesiphon was near modern day Baghdad.
Next time you could make something about the relations between the Tang dynasty and the Islamic powers who followed the Sassanids, or about the way in which the Byzantines stole the secret of silk from China and began producing it in their own empire. If I remember well two Byzantine monks stole some silkworms, and the mulberry leaves needed to feed them, and hid them in their canes. This would make an interesting video.
Ah, you're right. I must have confused the position of Therhar and Van Lake which I used as marker.
True friendship. China and Iran have just signed a 400 billion deal for 25 years.
This means the end of Iran... China now has access to Irans' resources... China would suck as much stuff they can. China doesn't give a shi*. China legit kills their own people and you think they would care for Iran, they just want to use iran. Not to mention Iran's government is corrupt and literally none of the money will be spend on Iran's people.
@@Karim-jp5ko Iranian regime won't last much. Iranian people will gain power in few years.
Oh yeah!! King and general did mention this
I really wish a video about the romance of three kingdoms or about the Sima clan (I love the series “advisor alliance” and “growling tigers, soaring dragons”)
Came because curious of the title, subs because I can't stop binging to the channel lol.
Great video, tho the ctesiphon isn't there you moved north a lot lol, it's in mesopotamia near baghdad

I think mentioned Vàq Vàq is australia. There is city or town in Australia named Wagga Wagga
Gyeongju was the capital of Shilla for 992 years . Because it is located in the southeast of Korean peninsula, It was less attacked and therefore lots of artifacts and ruins are still remained compared to Seoul. There were some rock-made statues of Persians ,guarding the loyals tomb. There were even some stutues of persians playing polo, Which is known that persians brought this sports through the Silkroad.(It became one the most played sports In Goryeo and early Joseon).In Kitāb al Masālik w’al Mamālik (The Book of Roads and Kingdoms), written by persian geographer Ibn Khurdãdhibah ( 820∼912) , lots of muslims settled in Shilla. Some people of ʿAlawīyyah even exiled to Shilla to escape from Umayyad Caliphate. ancient Korea was actually more related to Islam society then nowadays.
Wow! That is literally such an interesting historical tidbit! Now I really wish some history youtubers would make a video on that very topic. Thank you for bringing that to our attention tho
@@imagonnasah8319 People yes, religion no.
5:50 is very interesting to me. I had always thought that "波斯" was the translation of the Greek word "Persia" (in its English form) and I was unaware that the word was used in ancient times in China, since the ancient Chinese had direct contacts with the ancient Iranians (without relying on any mediation from Greek speaking people). Althought it is possible that the ancient Chinese got the name "Persia" from the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, or people from other "Greekified" (due to the conquest of Alexander the Great) areas of Asia. It's really strange that the ancient Chinese of Northern Zhou would consider "波斯" to be the name of a king rather than the country.
In fact the Persians were the ones mediating contact between the Chinese and the west.
The word "Persia" in itself stems from foreign ignorance. It's equivalent to calling China "land of the Hans" out of nationalism, despite there being numerous other ethnic groups.

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I think I know what to do to fix this issue in future episodes.
Fascinante.
Yes, very few know that Chang'an was the New York City back in those days.
The videos great, but my only gripe is that the maps for the Achaemenids and Sasanians are a bit off. The former should have the lands west of the Indus River in its control. The Sasanians should also have Mesopotamia, and Ctesiphon was on the banks of the Tigris.
It is map of Yazdgerd empire. That was second kasra or Khosrow parviz
It be nice to also see Song Dynasty relationship with the Middle East
Song dynasty did not have that good relations with the middle East but they had great relationship with Southeast Asia and India.

@@CoolHistoryBros I was thinking will you make videos about the Raja Raja Lalit Aditya (Raja is a title) invasion of Tibet and central Asia, please.

Tang dynasty. It was such a golden age, until now Southern Chinese called themselves Tanglang, meaning People of Tang, not Han.
Ironically Chinese during the Tang Dynasty called themselves Han and 漢國/Kingdom of Han is also one of China’s offical name during the Tang Dynasty.
I suggest you watch the series "Longest Day in Chang An" , so far it is the most realistic cinematic portrayal of Tang dynasty, to get you the glimpse of how glorious the Great Tang was.

Can you make a video about the connection of Rome to China and the interactions between China and Rome?
Wak wak refers to the Archipelago of East India (Malaysia & Indonesia), and it seems that many people still believe in that mythized story of Wak Wak a Persian reference of Japan.
meanwhile medieval Persian names for Vietnam and Cambodia are al-Sanf (Champa), Luqin (dai Viet) and Rmir (Cambodia). The Ilkhaanate reference for Dai Viet (Annam in Yuan sources) as "Kafjih-Guh, with capital Lukin-fu" or Jiaozhi quo with capital Hanoi. Luqin = Lukin = Long Bien= Hanoi.
Kyushu island was called WA by the Chinese, not wrong at all, Wak Wak was no specific place but the Generic term for ISLANDS occupying the Imaginary of unreachable and Fabulous Wealth. The Persian descriptions of WAK more or less overlap with the old Chinese narratives of WA as located beyond the Ocean and Next to where the Sun rises
Ibn Khordadbeh mentions Waqwaq twice:
''East of China are the lands of Waqwaq, which are so rich in gold that the inhabitants make the chains for their dogs and the collars for their monkeys of this metal. They manufacture tunics woven with gold. Excellent ebony wood is found there. Gold and ebony are exported from Waqwaq.''
There are Monkeys in Japan, gold and wood were widely exported to China in the Medieval era. Marco Polo who never visited Japan, reports after learning from the Chinese - THE land is rich in GOLD

I remember reading up on this and it was just fascinating. Just goes to show Tang was very Cosmopolitan and accepting. Also the Tang got their clothing style from Sogdia/Persia. They called the clothing “Hufu” and was colorful robes with upturn collars and women wore them too. The Round Collar robes also was influenced from Sodians as well as the Xianbei when Northern Wei ruled northern China.
Some influence not all . Wei was already heavily Chinese influenced . You over exaggerate the influence on clothing .
1:39 How much did you actually research about this? (Vaq Vaq)
It kinda looks similar to the island/islands of al-Wakwak
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Wakwak
Good video, however the Sassanians defeated the Byzantine army to the point that there was a peace treaty between them where Byzantine was obligated to stay within its borders but the Sassanian congress of the elite was outraged and did not see that as a victory but as a compromise. So this is where all the internal wars started in Iran when within 5 years 12 kings and queens were replaced. This in turn total demoralized and unstablized the empire. In the mean while there were wars with barbaric Turkick, Huns, and Arabic tribs in 3 different fronts which also had weakend the emperial army. This is exactly when the barbaric Arabs took note of the weak situation of the Sassanians and started their attacks to Iran which took the. 200 years to conquer but then different Persian dynasties rose against the genocidal Arabs and kicked them out of Iran forever.

He was the founder of Zen (Chan/Seon) and he was Iranian.

how did the communicate back then? everyone spoke mandarin?
Mandarin was official language of East Asia ，just like Latin language to EU
Both academic and historical communication required Chinese characters
For example, in Japan, normal people calling mountains as “Yama”(Origin-Japanese). But in serious occasion, mountains should be “San/山” （Chinese）
So Japanese famous attractions is not "Fuji-Yama" but should be "Fuji-San"
Their advanced political words were all from Chinese，for example their leader should be Ten'nō / 天皇, a Chinese word means (Ten)heaven-(nō)emperor
Even their country's name was a vocabulary built from the perspective of Chinese people
Nihon(Japan) means sun-root, this positional vocabulary was spoken to the Chinese “centralism”.
So in WWII, they try using "Yamato" as their own name,
but still when they been extreme nationalism and doing suicide charge， they shoutting “Banzai ！”， which is still a Chinese word meas "Ten-thousand year(for the King)"
As for Vietnam and Korea, they even use Chinese surnames directly
That looks like the Afsharid map (which is another Iranian empire) rather than the Sassanid map
The story of early nestorian Christians in China is also fascinating.
Yep
@denha yes but some Christian did went east.
Sassanian Persians were Zoroastrian
Ooh, waiting for that japanese envoyman.

Thats really fantastic that persian empire had have 700 years of war with Roman and Greek empire . But always be a friend with China . As we see the persian conflict with western world goes on and the persian genetic is working
It's a shame there were no huge mountains and deserts between Rome and Persia, it would have certainly helped in their relations
That's bc china was usually too busy fighting with itself.
Maritime trade routes are also important IMO

East Asian countries are all patically influenced by Persian in the past time, include music, argriculture and Zoroastrianism
Nope not that strong as the Tang Dynasty
Yes, Safavid had great relation with them.
@@ShahanshahShahin I do not think Khosrow parviz think that 😂
At the time of the fall of the Sassanids, many Iranians that did not want to see Arabs in their country, so they were forced to migrate mostly to India, China and the Far East countries like Japan and some migrated to the islands of the Indian Ocean and East of Africa. For example, Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, was founded by Iranian immigrants, or the island of Zanzibar was named by Iranians
The Sasanian Emperors also called themselves as the Shahanshahs of China.
Persian-Chinese links were quite long and intimate.
There were close relations throughout next several dynasties, especially the Yuan and Ming.
Some Chinese today (Han and Hui) have Persian ancestry.
The opposite "maybe" true as well, (I'm guessing) as there were Chinese interacting in Iran from the time of the Mongol Conquests.
