Let's have a better understanding of Chinese culture and enhance our friendship. The Chinese people are very hospitable and friendly.

Chinese Empire/Qing Dynasty (1636-1912) Anthem Cup of Solid Gold Medley (1911)
Gong Jin'ou (Chinese: 鞏金甌; pinyin: gǒng jīn'ōu, lit. Cup of Solid Gold) was the first official national anthem of China, created during the late Qing Dynasty; though it was used only for a short time due to the Republic of China overthrowing the Qing Dynasty.
The song was composed by Bo Tong (溥侗), a high-ranking officer of the Imperial Guard. The lyrics, in Classical Chinese, were penned by Yan Fu, commander of the Qing Navy. Guo Cengxin (郭曾炘), Master of Ceremonies, made some minor adjustments and arranged the music. Gong Jin'ou was adopted by the Qing government on the 13th Day and 8th Month of the 3rd Year of the Xuantong Emperor's reign (October 4, 1911). However, only six days later was the Wuchang Uprising, which effectively led to the end of the Qing Dynasty with the declaration of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912 and the abdication of the emperor on February 12, 1912. As a result, the anthem never gained any notability. Since it praises the Qing dynasty specifically, it is also a Royal anthem.
Communists, Nationalists, and China's Revolutions: Crash Course World History #37
Don't forget! Crash Course posters and t-shirts at
In which John Green teaches you about China's Revolutions. While the rest of the world was off having a couple of World Wars, China was busily uprooting the dynastic system that had ruled there for millennia. Most revolutions have some degree of tumult associated with them, but China's 20th century revolutions were REALLY disruptive. In 1911 and 1912, Chinese nationalists brought 3000 years of dynastic rule to an end. China plunged into chaos as warlords staked out regions of the country for themselves. The nationalists and communists joined forces briefly to bring the nation back together under the Chinese Republic, and then they quickly split and started fighting the Chinese Civil War. The fight between nationalists and communists went on for decades, and was interrupted by an alliance to fight the invading Japanese during World War II. After the World War II ended, the Chinese Civil War was back on. Mao and the communists were ultimately victorious, and Chiang Kai-Shek ended up in Taiwan. And then it got weird. Mao spent years repeatedly trying to purify the Communist Party and build up the new People's Republic of China with Rectifications, Anti Campaigns, Five Year Plans. the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution. These had mixed results, to say the least. John will cover all this and more in this week's Crash Course World History.

She’s probably the most controversial woman in Chinese history – Wu Zetian, who rose from lowly concubine to become the only woman in all Chinese history to dare to take the title “Emperor”
Since her death 1,300 years ago, Wu Zetian has been remembered as a callous tyrant, who brought calamity to China. But now, extraordinary new discoveries are revealing a very different picture of her reign.
As archaeologists investigate hidden tombs, spectacular pagodas, gigantic palaces and priceless treasures from her time, they are uncovering a very different story of China’s female Emperor, her skills and her empire. Wu Zetian’s China was a military, economic and cultural superpower, whose influence stretched from the edge of the Mediterranean to Japan and India. Recent discoveries reveal the wealth and stability of her reign, and point to her skills as a politician and a leader. But they also provide tantalising new evidence of the cruelty and violence at the heart of her regime.
With hands-on investigations and access to the treasures of Wu Zetian’s time, this film tries to give a definitive answer to the question: was Emperor Wu an evil tyrant or one of the most successful rulers in all Chinese history?

2018 China: Xi'an - Drum & Bell Tower
The Drum Tower is located northwest of the Bell Tower of Xi'an, across the Bell and Drum Tower Square. Both of them are called the 'sister buildings' or 'morning bell and dark drum'. In ancient China, especially from the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the drums were used to signal the running of time and on occasion were used as an alarm in emergency situations.
It was initially built in 1380 during the reign of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and was renovated twice in 1699 and 1740 in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It is a two-storied post and panel structure, 34 meters (about 112 feet) high and 52.6 meters (about 172 feet) long from east to west as well as 38 meters (about 124 feet) wide from north to south. The architecture style of the Drum Tower is a combination of the styles of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and the Qing Dynasty. However, it also has some innovative features. For example, it should be mentioned that there is no iron nail used anywhere in the Tower.
Upon arrival you will see that there is an arched doorway in the centre of the south and north walls, doorway being 6 meters (about 20 feet) in both height and width. The north entrance leads to Beiyuan Men and south to the West Avenue. Visitors can go upstairs to the second floor, and enjoy the views around the Drum Tower. On the second floor, there is a drum culture exhibition which can help you know more about drums. Meanwhile, you will notice that there are twenty-four drums in its north and south sides. They stand for the Twenty-four Solar Terms which is a kind of weather calendar created by the Chinese ancients in order to guide the agricultural production.
In modern times, the Drum Tower is not used as a timer any more, but there are some new attractions for visitors to enjoy. In the year of 1996, a new drum, covered by a whole piece of cowhide was given a place on the Tower. It is the biggest drum in China at present. What is more, visitors will enjoy musical performances inside it. These performances will enlighten one on the power of ancient Chinese culture.
The Bell Tower, is a stately traditional building, that marks the geographical center of the ancient capital. From this important landmark extend East, South, West and North Streets, connecting the tower to the East, South, West and North Gates of the City Wall of the Ming Dynasty.
The wooden tower, which is the largest and best-preserved of its kind in China, is 36 meters (118 feet) high. It stands on a brick base 35.5 meters (116.4 feet) long and 8.6 meters (28.2 feet) high on each side. During the Ming Dynasty, Xi'an was an important military town in Northwest China, a fact that is reflected in the size and historic significance.
The tower was built in 1384 by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang as a way to dominate the surrounding countryside and provide early warning of attack by rival rulers.
It has three layers of eaves but only two stories. Inside, a staircase spirals up. The grey bricks of the square base, the dark green glazed tiles on the eaves, gold-plating on the roof and gilded color painting make the tower a colorful and dramatic masterpiece of Ming-style architecture. In addition to enhancing the beauty of the building, the three layers of eaves reduce the impact of rain on the building.
On the second floor, a plaque set in the west wall records the relocation of the tower in 1582. When it was first built in 1384, it stood near the Drum Tower of Xi'an on the central axis of the city, and continued to mark the center of the city since Tang Dynasty and the following the Five Dynasties and the Song and Yuan Dynasties. As the city grew, however, the geographical center changed. Therefore, in 1582, the tower was moved 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) east of the original site. Except for the base, all parts are original, and history tells us that the relocation was accomplished quickly and inexpensively, making it a truly notable achievement in the architectural history in China.

Video transcript:
• Brief history about Qing dynasty in China
The Qing dynasty is created when a Manchu clan, whose people lived in North East of China, conquer China from the Ming dynasty. Like previous nomad rooted dynasty Jin, Yuan, the Qing assimilated Han culture, language, custom and went on conquest. Under the Qing, China had the largest extend border, with a large network of tributary states, the richest economy in the world, a diverse culture with many local ethnics and foreign visitors. However, it also continued the policy of closed border from the Ming, failed to industrialize, and later collapsed due to internal pressure.
• Ming vs Qing system
During Qing dynasty, 2 system of menswear existed side by side: the Han and Manchu. The Han menswear system is the continuity of previous Han menswear systems, which had existed and evolved over thousands of years. The Manchu brought with them their menswear system and initially forced it upon Han Chinese. In later years, The Han voluntarily adopted Manchu clothes, probably because those clothes were more convenient. Han clothes evolved from sedentary lifestyle, which made them long and loose, more fitting for a rich society with abundant of clothes and leisure time. Manchu clothes have the characteristic of a typical nomad culture, they use trousers instead of skirts, the clothes are narrow fitting, better for riding horse and live a movement intensive lifestyle.
• Casual wear
A full set of clothes typically consists of 2 or more layers depending on the weather and situation. For 2 pieces garment, it may include a Han shirt yi (衣) or a Manchu shirt pao (袍). The bottom can be a dress called chang (裳) or a trouser called ku (褲).
Inner garment: there are 2 most common types: Zhongyi (2 pieces) and zhongdan (1 pieces).
Main layer: Several styles that are popular:
- Shanqun (衫裙): a short coat with a long skirt
- Ruqun (襦裙): a top garment with a separate lower garment or skirt
- Kuzhe (褲褶): a short coat with trousers
- Zhiduo/zhishen (直裰/直身): a Ming dynasty style robe
- Daopao/Fusha (道袍/彿裟): a style of robe for scholars
- Changshan (長衫): Manchu influenced long shirt, often worn with magua(马褂) or riding jacket
Overcoat: Zhaoshan (罩衫): long open fronted coat
• Formal wear
Although Chinese have different formal wear system for different occasions and religions, the most common formal wear for civilian in Qing dynasty is called Xuanduan (玄端). It consists of a black or dark blue top garment that runs to the knees with long sleeve (often with white piping), a bottom red chang, a red bixi, an optional white belt with two white streamers hanging from the side or slightly to the front called peishou (佩綬), and a long black guan. Additionally, wearers may carry a long jade gui (圭) or wooden hu (笏) tablet (used when greeting royalty)
• Court dress
The Qing required men who served as court and government officials wear Manchu clothes, called Changshan (長衫). The Changshan can be worn individually, with magua, and later with western overcoat. Yellow color was reserved for the emperor. Bureaucrat or mandarin wore a coat with Mandarin Square to signify rank. Clothes in court never served as fashion but always to signify who that person was and what position the person hold.
• Footwear
Standard men’s footwear was a black cloth boot and white soles. The style didn’t change from 17th century all the way to 20th century until they switched to western footwear. Royalty shoes may have more decorative features, but they were not reflected in painting. Children shoes were surprisingly more decorated then adult men as you can see here. This is a pair shoes with lion decorative from 19th century children shoe. Women shoes, on the other hand, were much more elaborated and not covered in this video.
...
