There was not such thing as Medieval China, so as there was no Springs and Autumns Greece. The history of China is divided along the Chinese lines, not European, and it's as follows (the English transactions are not official):
太古： archaic period: since the Big Bang till the appearance of humans
远古 distant antiquity period：since the appearance of humans to 2070 BCE
上古 early antiquity：2070 BCE– 220 CE
中古middle antiquity：220–684
近古 near antiquity：684–1840
近代 near modernity：1840 – 1911
現代 modernity 1911-1949
當代 present period: after 1949

such a great video , great efforts , really appreciated and overall fully satisfied with it .

Imagine Chinese students in history class ,

Very good overview! Many histories of this period completely ignore social and economic changes and focus on palace politics. Very happy to see a people's history instead of palace history of China.

The Mongolian hordes destroyed a mysterious Xixia empire. Its traditions and cultures were lost forever. Such is the greatness of a barbaric tribesmen that went around leveling cities all the way from Persia, Arabs, India and into Europe. As Karma has it, Mongolia was destroyed by Ming China. Today more than half of its land belongs to China. Karmic retributions indeed !

I learned from this presentation what I never considered much about Dao Philosophy. I see that it was pretty advanced idea of philosophy and fusion of religeos best ideas, that, came close to modern day aspects of modern philosophy of realism and also os physics - practical and realistic approach. Reminds me an ancient Socrate and Aristotle, who dealt with real problems and pratical approach to finding truth thru investigation.

English people cannot explain history ever as they are failures. All empires in the world are part of the same continuous empires that belong to myself. There is no such empire that ended outside of the United Kingdom, and it should be understood that language protocols where introduced and my own ancestors pronounced themselves With the new generation titles. Now the governments have been made the people can enjoy reading there caste or kingdom history as I have a duty to marry women of these empires of mine to create the continuation and appreciation of the work done in the last 2000 thousand years. And so even the Manchu han, tang etc are still active today and have there own history to join with mine so the world completes itself. ⚡️🤴🏽🕉🔺➕

I liked it but you jumped a little bit all over the place. You talked about the Song then again about the Tang so it was confusing at times. Should have kept it linear.

👍Where/Why they all keen to got title name Khan? Kara(korum) Han ! and english world sound HUN as well . They are all from orginal sound of HAN . The Great Han Empire.
Khan= Kara(korum)Han ! means black/dark Han . They are all entitled themself by name of Glorious Han Nation since Qin(China) Han Dynasty...
When you see TerricattaWarrior and The Great Wall of Qin Empire onsite by your owneyes once. You know everything.

It’s just Chinese one sided racist Chinese history

Please don’t be such a racist, not barbarians in the north, it’s called nomadic incursion from north, China isn’t the only civilization, nomadic people also have its own nomadic culture.

Jesus Christ is real repent glory to the One true god

Isn’t calling people “barbarians” even if just a common turn of phrase a little irresponsible to do when presenting from a purely unbiased historical perspective

grow hemp print currency on hemp

Mongols at that time didn't only live in the present Mongolia, but also in the North and Northwest China and in Siberia.

Full of misinformation and errors when a westerner described China!
No wonder the west can never understand China!
The video is laughable in thinking the Chinese people would behave and think like the westerners portraited by this video.

Karakorum wasnt just a village prior to Genghis Khan it was an extremely holy site to them.
If you watched the game of thrones series Khal Drogo and his culture were pretty much carbon copies of the Mongols. The special camp Drogo goes to where the tribes trade, meet and no blood may be spilled there on pain of death is exactly what Karakorum was to the mongol tribes.

In Tang Dynasty, Mongolia plateau was ruled by Uygurs and Turks. Mongolians were not dorminant in the Mongolian plateau yet at that time.

MONGOLIA AND CHINA BELONG TO THE SAME COUNTRY FOR VERY LONG TIME. ONLY AFTER 1946, OUTER MONGOLIA AND CHINA WERE SEPARATED, BUT INNER MONGOLIA REMAINS IN CHINA.

thank you as a Chinese it is high quality

Wow, this is pretty weak... The voice kinda sounds like a robot... I think this might be one of those new AI chat things, where you just type in "make a video about medieval China", and it spits out a reasonable facsimile of a 10th-grade book report, complete with visual aids.

America and Europe should start using fobs vs wasting resources on raw materials. Just imagine a small fob similar to the senior citizen emergency info anklets that carries all your data like passports, ids, etc.

Hacking? Do you really believe the Western World's militaries can't protect an information network from some 3rd world guy or a bored high schooler? It's actuallt easier to fabricate hard documents like driver licenses than digital copies. I know this because I did a secret investigation into illegal immigration.

Mongolia is not China. They have their own language,culture and land.

Great work on not including Taiwan 🇹🇼

its like calling france or uk empire rome... lol

Loved listening to it while doing my house chores ❤

I feel like you skipped Jin and the 16 kingdoms period

There is no such a term, medieval, in China history.

Interesting, to a point, but badly organized. Instead of a coherent narrative, it jumps back and forth, then back again, between dynasties.

Another low quality "history" channel, great

Great job! One of the best! 👍
Me about Mongolians...🤔... dislike the cruelty in wars but like the freedom of religions....

You're a ashame

good video❤

新疆是清朝的时候才有的

Initially dubbed in historical sources as the Turks of Shatuo circuit (Shatuo Tujue), occasional references to the "three tribes" of Shatuo-the Shatuo, Anqing, and Yinge-suggest the existence of multiple confederations, the Shatuo ascent coinciding with the decline of the Eastern Turks in the eighth century. Their armies were surpris ingly small relative to other minority rulers of China over the past millennium, but Shatuo warriors seemed uniquely "brave and aggressive," courage in battle buttressed by an enviable expertise in siege warfare and archery. Indeed, the arrows of a skilled bowman could pierce the shield of any foe."

Davis, R., 2017. Fire and ice. Li Cunxu and the founding of the Later Tang. Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, p.4.

"History of the Suí dinasty", chapter 84:

The superiority of the Göktürks is in their cavalry and archers. When they are in a winning position, they advance with fury; but when danger comes, they withdraw with the speed of the wind, and disappear like lightning, without preserving order. Bows and arrows serve them as claws and fangs. Helmet and cuirass are their usual attire. Their detachments do not go in order, their camps do not stand still. They stop wherever they find grass and water; rams and horses provide food for their army. If they win, they stop and seek the wealth of the enemy; if they are defeated, they withdraw without any shame. They do not burden themselves with night duty, nor do they keep watch during the day; they do not waste their strength in building fortifications, or in storing provisions. But when Chinese soldiers go to war, they [Göktürks] behave very differently. If the Chinese enter the battle with the Göktürks, they [Chinese] rarely win. If we begin to imitate them now, if we adapt to their means, they will not be able to overcome us, and they will not attack us again.
