@@RatmothyI see people already pointing it out. For example, the first hat you claim is 'not Chinese.' In fact, the Chinese have had many versions of everything due to their long legacy. What’s shown above is just one of many Chinese hats or headgear.
@@AlcoholicfishTan Nah I think at least the Japanese do denote if something is of Chinese origin with terms such as "chukka"(ちゅっか or 中華), where I feel the contemporary South Koreans just take something from the Chinese culture and claim it as Korean.
Vietnam was once part of Chinese governance, and as the central power in China changed, Vietnam became a tributary state of China in modern times. It wasn't until the arrival of the French, after several conflicts with China, that Vietnam eventually became a French colony. Therefore, it is challenging to distinctly differentiate between Vietnamese culture and the culture of Southwest China.
Your guys Chinese always act like you are the founder of all East and South-East Asian culture 😂. I’m sorry but it’s ridiculous 😂. Vietnamese civillization existed 4000 years before and has nothing related to China. Your guys always try to invade and erase other countries’s own culture but you always failed to do that. Now some Chinese like those guys trying to tell people that Vietnam is “part of Chinese governance” and “tributary state”. So I asked you why you don’t mention the time China was part of Mongol’s governance as well as the Manchus ??? Invaded several adjacent nations for a period of history, doesn’t mean that nation lost all of their own culture
@@moncrad Well, I respect various historical perspectives. Because history has no absolute truth, only interpretations, which I find very interesting. However, it must be pointed out that Vietnam's abolition of Chinese characters is a matter of the last few decades, while archaeologically speaking, Vietnam has a history of thousands of years of using Chinese characters, as well as archaeological evidence of being a tributary state. When I previously mentioned that Vietnam was under the governance of China's central government, I was referring to the more ancient times, thousands of years ago, during the Qin Dynasty. As for whether China's Yuan Dynasty was under the rule of the Mongols, there are different historical interpretations of the Eastern Mongol Empire, the Western Mongol Empire, and China itself, and I respect these varying interpretations. At least from the perspective of archaeological findings of tombs, the Yuan Dynasty was still a Chinese regime that spoke Chinese and wrote in Chinese characters.
hey, drink it how you like, I used to drink it with a French press and do the same thing, the only important thing is to invite friends over and share the tea, that's what make the ceremony part
Sometimes koreans claim journey to the west as korean but that can be easily dispeled when the book said sun jumped 18000 li if it took place in korea then he would have lept outside the country 😅 but koreans will keep claiming
China born and raised Chinese here, just wanna say its amazing how you talk about the the tiny small differences between Chinese and Vietnamese straw hat, and the demonstration of gong fu cha was great stuff too! Surprised to see you have a whole tea set, tbh i don't have any of those lol. My hometown is Shenyang in north-east, tea culture isn't as popular as some of the other parts in China such as southern China i guess, my wife is from Sichuan province and you can basically find tea house every 200 meters on the street, where in my family, everyone just simply put some tea leaves in a cup, pour hot water into it and start drinking😅😅😅 Nice combination with the tea cake and butter knife btw lol Anyways, awesome video, love all the details
My favorite way of drinking tea is Song dynasty style where they grind the dried tea leafs into a fine powder and whisk it up - The texture becomes creamy and full .
Not really a cultural gem, just some details I noticed in Chapter 5: Red Boy(disguised as Pingping) first appears hanging from a tree. It's a homage to the 1986 TV show where the red boy disguised himself as a helpless child being tied to a tree. After Red Boy transforms into Yaksha King, Zhu Bajie shows up and and said something like "No wonder not a single drop was fanned, it was your trick all along". Zhu also questioned if Pingping's fan was real earlier in the chapter. This might seem coming out of nowhere but in journey to the west Wukong was first tricked with a fake fan that only fanned the flames higher. While the real fan puts the fires out by summoning a rainstorm. In the cut scene Pingping just waved the fan a few times and the fire disappeared on its own. Which makes sense in hindsight since samadhi fire was Red Boy's ability, and he just pretended to fan while making the fire disappear himself, creating the illusion that the fan put out the fire.
based on what my grandparents taught me,the first pour was usually poured over the tea cups to warm them up and to give them the tea fragrance so even before you pick up the second pour to drink,you can smell the tea first and the tea cups will keep the tea at the right temperature longer.
I have a friend who lives in Chaoshan(潮汕) region. People from there really love drinking tea like this. I'm a Cantonese myself, but most of the time I just use regular teapot. Anyway, great video!
Those conical hats are Chinese. Vietnamese use them as their national symbol doesn't mean they're not Chinese. Just that there's more variety of farmer's hats in China.
In fact, that conical hats are used extensively in the olden days in many countries in South East Asia, not only in China and Vietnam. Those countries include Thailand, Laos Malaysia Indonesia probably also some other countries out of this region.
sorta, I think farmers from ratmothy's region just doesn't have the need to wear those hats. You still can see those styles of hats from Taiwan to southwestern China. But they are often made from bamboo now a days (竹帽 竹笠 斗笠 花布斗笠 for those who are wondering)
Can you talk about the four "Non-" bosses? I heard they are supposed to mirror the Wukong journey squad in their original Chinese names but I'd love to learn more about it since that aspect was totally lost in the English translation.
wukong means"known-void" in Mandarin, and bajie also named wuneng,which means"known-able",Tang monk's other two disciples names wujing(known-clean) and Little White Loong. Yellow brow is Tang monk(jin chanzi)'s senior fellow apprentice,yet is no way close his achievement, guess he took in four disciples and name them as a reverse of Tang monk's disciples to show attitude
Their names are direct opposites to the names of the 4 disciples of Tang Sanzang, but they translated the meanings of the characters in their names so this implication is completely lost Sun Wukong (孙悟空) has his dharmic name given by his first master Puti is Wukong (悟空) which is something like "enlightened through emptiness". His counterpart Non-Void is Bukong (不空), or no emptiness. Zhu Bajie (猪八戒) is given the dharmic name Bajie (八戒) by Tang Sanzang, but before that he was given the dharmic name Zhu Wuneng (猪悟能) by Bodhisattva Guanyin (the lady from the end of the chapter 1 animation), where Wuneng (悟能) means something like "enlightened through ability". His counterpart Non-Able is Buneng (不能). Sha Wujing (沙悟净) , the third disciple Tang Sanzang recruits, does not appear in the game except in the final secret animation briefly, but his dharmic name Wujing (悟净) is also given by Bodhisattva Guanyin and it means something like "enlightened through purity/cleanliness". His counterpart Non-Pure is Bujing (不净). The other disciple, although technically the second disciple Tang Sanzang took on despite Zhu Bajie usually being referred to as 二师兄 (second disciple/brother), is a dragon prince from the West Sea who was almost executed and then exiled after accidentally destroying a gift from the Jade Emperor. He ate Tang Sanzang's horse and fought Wukong, before Guanyin resolved the problem and asked him to transform into a white horse to carry Tang Sanzang the journey west. From there, he's called Bai long ma (白龙马), or White Dragon Horse. His counterpart Non-White is Bubai (不白). This last one is a bit weird tbh, I'd expect either dragon or horse to come out but I guess they chose the first character.
@@ramennnoodlenot to mention that their personalities are the polar opposites of Tripitaka’s 4 disciples: -Wukong is direct and straightforward, while Non-Void never directly shows his intentions and always hide behind a metaphorical mask. -Wujing/Bajie is very glib and sycophantic despite being bad with delivering his words, while Non-Able has extremely low EQ despite very capable of delivering breaking speeches. -Wujing/Sandy is very hard-working, while Non-Pure is lazy to the extreme. -White Dragon has very little profile ever since becoming a horse (and is very accepting of his fate), while Non-White is so hungry for attentions that he, being the clown in an opera troupe, murdered the troupe’s star just he could wear the poor sap’s face and hog the spotlight as the hero. It should be worthwhile to consider that Yellowbrow chose them to intentionally mock Tripitaka, aka Jinchanzi, the fellow disciple of Buddha, that he ALWAYS wanted to prove inferior to himself terms of beliefs and principles.
hehe I am truly a big history nerd. Actually, when I stream one day, I want to have guests on share their culture and eventually go around to the whole world exploring other cultures too :)
no lie i thought he was trying to denigrate Chinese history when thumbnailing the video.... i understand it as a misunderstanding now.... was going to downvote him, but let it fly as he came through in the end that there was no malicious intent
@@antwango yeah he's really not trying to denigrate chinese history, it's just that china is just so big that regional variations can cause a slight difference in tradition and culture, thus making him sound like he's saying something that isn't chinese culture, even though it very much is
regarding the tea ceremony... the one you're showing is quite "modern." prior to the Ming dynasty, such as the Tang and Song especially, tea used to be ground to powder, boiled, have salt or other spices added before drinking.
I feel like the golden cicada is purely a reference to Tang monk's previous life Jinchanzi (who was mentioned multiple times throughout chapters 1&3). Don't think it's supposed to symbolize Wukong.
That's awesome! I remember looking for cicada bugs in summer night in my childhood. It feels so fascinating that bugs will turn into flying cicadas overnight.
I don't think there is the Vietnam version of that hat, it's still the Chinese straw hat coming from region close to Vietnam, such Guangxi, Guangdong and Yunnan provinces. Anyway, Asia is heavily influenced by Chinese culture, most of tools and cultural conventions can be easily traced back to an origin of a Chinese one.
Also, cicada(蟬: chán) has the same pronunciation with Zen in Chinese (禪: chán). And The word "Zen" for Zen Buddhism is the Japanese way to pronounce it so that it loses the homophonic link if you understand it in English or Japanese.
Your tea method is much more recent, post Ming dynasty, prior to Ming dynasty tea was almost like a soup, it was set on boil, then it changed into matcha, tea duals became common practice.
I know I might be nitpicking, but I’d like to point out that the Chinese pronunciation for cicada is ‘chán’ （’蝉’ in Chinese) instead of ‘cán’, it’s easy to get ‘ch’ and ‘c’ mixed up. However, ‘cán’ which is written as ‘蚕’ in Chinese means ‘silkworm’.
True, Chinese straw hats have a unique shape. But conical straw hats does exist in many countries, like China, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, etc. Vietnam just adopted the hat as a national identity, it doesn't mean it is originally and only from or for Vietnam. China is known as the kingdom of fashion and hats, theres like dozens of different hat styles in China throughout all dynasties. Also, the chinese have many greeting gestures throughout different dynasties, but both palms together is only reserved for the deceased, deities, or Buddha. Some chinese might see it as disrespect or insult for signifying their deaths or putting them on the same level of a deity or buddha.
I dunno if I am stereotype, but I drink tea at least 3 times a day (sometimes 4 when I am at work). In Hong Kong region, we got the 3pm Tea Time tradition or "Afternoon Tea) from the Brit colonials so we would have something to eat while drinking tea though. I notice whenever in various region in Mainland, some would drink tea and some won't. In Beijing, tea isn't much drunk while in Guangzhou region, tea is really important and would be offered freely
bro u kinda did a face reveal already, 10:38 left bottom of that picture. the teacup is so high in quality that it reflects your face and your phone without breaking the beauty of its pattern.... wow
A general head up, the tea set in the clip is basically 25% of a full tea set... And even the photo showed along with it have few items missing from the set...
theres not many significant differences for Chinese, Vietnamese Or Korean culture. There are big Vietnamese ethnic and Korean ethnic group in China because it is the center and birth place for all Eastern Asian culture
That straw hat thing im pretty sure they all came from China. Everyone in that area came from China. Only difference is that southeast Asians like Myanmar, Cambodia, Thai , lao and vietnam has a bigger chance of being mixed with the island people and Indian. Thats why some Thai and Cambodia look Philippino. Yes the vietnam straw hat is considered Chinese. I still see videos of mainland Chinese wearing them.
I beg to differ. Straw hats are generic and can be hard to trace back to or some might originate from different places but end up being identical. What might define a regional straw hat may be based on the material creating one.
@@tonkinthehanoian1843 I respect your opinion. But you do realize that China has 56 ethnic groups. Chinese is the nationality not the ethnicity right??? All of the eastAsia around China are people from China. And the guy was talking about the Asian cone and flat hat right. Not western
It's vice versa, that's why it's called Indo-China. Chinese like to record everything in their language, that's why historieans from other countries need to learn their history from Chinese records. You can look at Vietnamese history too, Ops.... They were recorded in Chinese language

Noted! :)
Some of the commenters down here seem like the kind of people who would want a three day special military operation in Vietnam. God damn. It's crazy.
终于有人把草帽澄清了 👍
cao mao sounds like smelly cat in canto :3
AHAHA that's pretty funny
A general head up, the tea set in the clip is basically 25% of a full tea set... And even the photo showed along with it have few items missing from the set...
DON'T REMIND ME I'M TOO POOR TO AFFORD A FULL GONG FU CHA SET I'M SAD ALREADY :'(
@@Ratmothy 😂😂😂 you missing so many pieces ~~~
finally somebody is talking about this, westerners always mistake Vietnamese hat and culture for
our Chinese one
How did you manage to do a tea demo and proceed to STEEP/BREW the WHITE tea?!!!! It needs to be BOILED!!!
The real OG style would be just a 蓋碗 and 3 cups.
Fair enough.. but I wanted to look COOL >:(
@@Ratmothy you still missing a cup lol
GASP! HAND REVEAL!😮
You know too much now
2:09 Neither normal vietnamese people. It shows show much they care about cultures.
theres not many significant differences for Chinese, Vietnamese Or Korean culture. There are big Vietnamese ethnic and Korean ethnic group in China because it is the center and birth place for all Eastern Asian culture
Can we get more squad? They had an update! I like watching the game as I can’t play it😢
Yup!! New Squad video out next week and I've been playing a lot of servers with Super FOBS which is really fun
@@Ratmothy Thanks A lot!
That straw hat thing im pretty sure they all came from China. Everyone in that area came from China.
Only difference is that southeast Asians like Myanmar, Cambodia, Thai , lao and vietnam has a bigger chance of being mixed with the island people and Indian.
Thats why some Thai and Cambodia look Philippino. Yes the vietnam straw hat is considered Chinese. I still see videos of mainland Chinese wearing them.
I beg to differ. Straw hats are generic and can be hard to trace back to or some might originate from different places but end up being identical. What might define a regional straw hat may be based on the material creating one.
@@tonkinthehanoian1843 I respect your opinion. But you do realize that China has 56 ethnic groups. Chinese is the nationality not the ethnicity right???
All of the eastAsia around China are people from China. And the guy was talking about the Asian cone and flat hat right. Not western
@@maixiong9113 I understand that well. I'm not mentioning ethnicity, I'm tackling regions.
You have to be from New York State. Only New Yorkers have Harny and Sons tea
you just want to show people how you make tea didnt you
Perchance Perchance
Honestly black myth wukong is chinese mythology and its near by connection is with indian mythology
dude's video made my questioning myself are you chinese?
1 view in 20 seconds. Bro fell off
💀💀💀
Chinese: see something from South East Asian
Also Chinese: now it’s mine
It's vice versa, that's why it's called Indo-China. Chinese like to record everything in their language, that's why historieans from other countries need to learn their history from Chinese records. You can look at Vietnamese history too, Ops.... They were recorded in Chinese language
I'm happy to share :D
你可真看得起自己。真以为中国人是为了炫耀某个东西是自己的吗？不过是看不惯你们的自大罢了
