I love how Chinese royal history is like a reality tv show.
我很喜欢，中国皇室的历史简直像电视真人秀一样。

"No matter how we feel about him, Chinese people cannot tell our history without speaking of him" - I can relate to this a great deal as a British person. When reflecting on British history you just have to kinda accept that there were a lot of awful people, the key isn't to pretend they didn't exist, it's to learn from them and reflect on all the things they did, good or bad.
Oliver Cromwell is a good example of this, on the one hand he made the unx into a strong power in Europe, he changed attitudes of privilege in society which are still reflected today, he helped pave the way for parliamentary democracy in its infancy. On the other hand, he himself was a dictator and would probably hate what the UK has become, he was also a mass murderer and is despised in Ireland with good reason. He was a religious theocrat who wanted to outlaw anything deemed mildly sinful much like American evangelists or Islamic fundamentalists today.
He was a horrible, horrible human being but he did have an interesting life and there is much we can learn from him.
“不管我们对他的感觉如何，中国人在讲述我们的历史时必须提到他”——作为一个英国人，我对此有很大的共鸣。当我回顾英国历史的时候，你需要接受英国历史上有很多糟糕的人，关键不是假装他们不存在，而是从他们身上学习并反思他们做过的所有事情，不管是好的或坏的。
奥利弗·克伦威尔就是一个很好的例子，一方面他使联盟在欧洲成为一个强大的力量，他改变了社会对特权的态度，这个影响在今天仍有体现，他为议会民主的萌芽铺平了道路。另一方面，他本人又是一个独裁者，可能会让人讨厌英国的现状，他也是一个大屠杀凶手，爱尔兰人有充分理由鄙视他。他还是一位宗教神权政治家，哪怕是轻微罪行他也想要取缔，就像今天的美国福音传教士或伊斯兰原教旨主义者一样。
他虽然是一个可怕的人，但他的生活很有趣，我们可以从他身上学到很多。

HERO (2002) is a really beautiful film that loosely tells the tale of an assassination attempt on the first emperor of China!
Really good movie if you haven’t seen it.
It takes a lot of inspiration from the film Rashomon by Kurosawa.
《英雄》(2002)是一部非常漂亮的电影，大致讲述了一个刺客刺杀中国第一位皇帝的故事！
如果你没看过的话，那真的是部好电影。
它从Kurosawa的电影《罗生门》中获得了很多灵感。

It's so interesting to me that China's feudal era happened 1500 years before Europe's. Qin Shi Huang's unification of China arguably marks the beginning of the oldest surviving nation state in the world.
我觉得很有趣的是，中国的封建时代比欧洲早1500年。秦始皇统一中国可以说从此标志着世界上现存最古老的民族国家统一（中国历史）的开始。

one thing that really messes me up while studying history is like how many cultures are out there that are SO SO SO old, it almost feels like my country is a baby near these big guys with like 500 years of war, scxts from 5000 years ago and stuff like that daangg imagine going to school and having to learn so many things about your birthplace, my country was invaded like in 1500s and I barely learned all subjects at school about that
在学习历史的时候，有一件事让我很困惑，那就是世界上到底有多少古老的文化，在那些有500年战争（历史）的大家伙旁边，感觉我的国家就像一个婴儿，更别说那些有5000年历史的国家了，还有很多类似的情况。想象一下你去学校，学习关于你出生地的历史，我的国家在16世纪被入侵，可我在学校几乎学不到任何有关这段历史的学科

I first heard about this man when we were told about the terracotta warriors and we learned about how all of the soldiers were unique and their faces were most likely all made by hand and I thought that that was the coolest thing ever to have all that made just to protect you in death, so cool to find out more about him!
我第一次听说秦始皇是在我们听说兵马俑的时候，我们了解到所有的兵马桶都是独一无二的，他们的脸很可能都是手工制作的，我认为这是最酷的事情，这些兵马俑都是为了在你死后保护你，了解更多关于秦始皇的事情太酷了！

Part of me is proud for recognizing every c-drama image shown without reading the descxtion. This guy's life was really wild which is probably why it's so popular to adapt it. Part of me wants to know if the tree general story really is real & if so, what happened to the tree?
我为我不用看具体描述，就能认出每一部中国电视剧的画面而感到自豪。秦始皇的生活真的很狂野，这可能也是为什么现在电影改编秦始皇如此受欢迎的原因。我想知道树的故事是否真的是真实的&如果是，树发生了什么？（译注：这里的树，指秦始皇曾砍掉‘三皇五帝’中尧帝女儿，舜帝妻子湘君祠所在湘山的树，因这些树挡住他东游之路，儒家以此谈始皇帝之残暴）

This is an incredible story, and it's and other major historical events in Chinese history and East Asian history General need to be studied and discussed more often in the Western Hemisphere. People across the world are far more alike than different, and viewing the commonalities in human history is a great way of teaching people that. In much the same way that there are only so many different ways to make flatbread or only so many ways to create an effective fighting style, there are only so many ways to brutally conquer your enemies and create a nation out of a collection of feuding states. That being said, the first emperor did it with style.
这是一个令人难以置信的故事，它和中国历史和东亚历史上的其他主要历史事件一样，需要在西方世界进行更多地研究和讨论。在世界各地，人们的相似之处远多于不同之处，观察人类历史中的共性是教会人们认清这一点的一个很好的方式。就像做面饼的方法只有那几样，有效的战斗方法也只有那几种，残酷地征服敌人并在一堆积怨的国家中创建一个国家的方法也同样只有那些。也就是说，第一位皇帝做什么都是开创（独特风格）。

That scene about him killing his half-brothers in this brutal manner did make its way into at least one film inspired by his life... I remember seeing such a movie back in the early 2000s and it really was too gruesome to have been included just for shock value...
秦始皇残忍杀害同父异母兄弟的一幕，我在一部以他的生平为灵感的电影中看到过……我记得在21世纪初就看过这样的电影，它真的太可怕了，不应该仅仅为了震惊的噱头而收录这种场景……

Ahhhh this is a happy coincidence!
I was asked recently about how to depict Chinese war strategizing may look like (war council rooms, maps, figurines to mark movements etc), and I genuinely could’ve sworn I’d seen cdramas and movies depict scenes like that. I couldn’t think of any though, but browsing around, I found some examples in the 2009 live-action Mulan film…and in videos about Qin Shi Huang!
啊，这真是一个令人高兴的巧合！
最近有人问我如何布置中国古代战争的战情室(战争会议室、地图、标志动作的小雕像等)，我发誓我看过描述这些场景的电视剧和电影。可我回忆不出任何一部电影，所以我搜索了一下，我在2009年的真人电影《花木兰》中找到了一些场景，还有关于秦始皇的视频！

One of them was a CGTN documentary, which re-enacts scenes from Qin Shi Huang’s life, and the second one was a web-drama about Qin Shi Huang. So while China’s first emperor definitely had little chill with all the conquering and warring, I am grateful he had so much war I could find some representation of war strategizing with maps and everything.
I’ve actually been meaning to rewatch the documentary properly after I was scrubbing through it for war strategizing scenes, as it’s been a while since I learned about Qin Shi Huang’s life in detail. So I appreciate this video discussing him too, and I look forward to more ancient Chinese history videos!
Also truly do enjoy the drama of all of this… The guy who was famous for being absolutely hung, the way Qin Shi Huang is basically an anime protagonist irl, the insane assassination attempts with even childhood friends to enemies…and of course, all the wars.
其中一部是中国国际电视台(CGTN)的纪录片，它再现了秦始皇的生活场景，第二部是一部关于秦始皇的网络剧。所以，虽然我对中国的第一个皇帝的所有征服和战争毫无兴趣，但我很感激他发动了这么多战争，我可以因此用地图和其他东西进行一些战争的推演。=
实际上，我一直想重新看一遍这部纪录片，因为我已经有一段时间没有详细了解秦始皇的经历了。所以我也很欣赏这个讨论他的视频，我期待你制作更多关于中国古代历史的视频！
我也真的很喜欢这一切的戏剧性……比如某个因为被吊死而出名的家伙（崇祯？），秦始皇基本上就是动漫主角的样子，他和童年的朋友一起疯狂地刺杀敌人……当然，还有所有他发动的战争。

I've always wanted to ask if you would talk about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but have always been too nervous to ask. You mentioning the Han in this video made me want to try asking :) I've read the entire book and have always been fascinated by that story, and would love to hear what you think of it or if you have interesting insight in to it as a Chinese person. Thank you again for these wonderful videos, I always learn so much and you really are a true story teller :)
我一直想问您能不能谈谈《三国演义》，但一直不好意思问。你在视频中提到了汉人，这让我想试着问一下。我读完了整本书（三国演义），被这个故事迷住了，所以很想听听你的看法，或者你作为一个中国人对三国有什么有趣的见解。再次感谢这些精彩的视频，我总是能从中学到很多，你真的是一个很好的故事讲述者。

just a note for anyone who's confused about the "trading children" bit, this was a practice where families would swap children with other families so they didn't have to eat their own kids. It happened depressingly often in Chinese history.
提醒一下那些对“交换孩子”感到困惑的人，这是一种一个家庭与其他家庭交换孩子的做法，这样他们就不必吃掉自己的孩子。这种事情在中国历史上经常发生，令人悲伤。（译注：视频里是交换质子，这里说的是易子而食，不是黑子就是蠢）

As a westerner who was never taught much (if any) history outside of Europe, colonial US, and like a lesson or two on Egypt because mummies, I really love these videos!

The Qin were masters in bronze casting, making high quality weapons which would outrank the other six states’ weapons. The weapons found at the Terracotta Army site show quality check marks by Lu BuWei and some even have been used in battle, proven by dents in them. They even are still sharp to this day.
秦国是青铜铸造的大师，其制造的高质量武器超过了其他六国的武器。在兵马俑遗址发现的武器有吕不韦制定的质量检验标记，一些武器甚至还在战斗中使用过，这可以从它们的凹陷处得到证明。它们直到今天仍然很锋利。

I remember seeing a documentary about him as a child and being absolutely fascinated, but also terrified because I was definitely too young to see all the violence included in the re-enactment parts.
我记得我小时候看了一部关于秦始皇的纪录片，非常令我着迷，但也让我很害怕，不过因为我当时还太小了，看不懂纪录片部分中所有的暴力。

i’ve not watched the video yet but i just want to say, i love your channel so so much! i love learning about ancient history from all over the world but i really enjoy the fact china has so much documented history spanning over such a long time. i also love the way you explain the stories of these people, it personalises them so much and gives them character, compared to if i just read about them. so thank you
我还没看视频，但我很想告诉你，我太爱你的频道了！我喜欢学习世界各地的古代史，但中国真正让我喜欢的是，中国在这么长的时间里，竟然有这么多具有文献记载的历史。我也喜欢你解释这些历史人物的故事的方式，比起我只是单纯的阅读他们的故事，你的讲述让这些人物变得如此个性化，赋予了他们特色。谢谢你

I have just binged tf out of your channel, and I wish you had been my tour guide when I went on a work trip to Xi'an. Your presentation is so good, and so well researched.
also a cool vid would be one about that super famous water goddess that had her worship banned. I can't remember her name off the top of my head, but I used to live in Fuzhou(saw iconography in some places there), and she had a shrine dedicated to her in Putian. If anything a curious tale to read about if you are every bored
我刚刚刷屏了你的频道，我希望我去西安出差的时候你能是我的导游。你的介绍很棒，而且历史研究得很充分。
还有一个很酷的视频是关于那个超级有名的水女神的，她的崇拜现在被禁止了。我想不起来她的名字了，但我以前住在福州(那里有些地方有她的肖像)，在莆田有一个她的神龛。如果你有空的话，可以介绍一下她的有趣故事

I never clicked on anything so fast in my life.Even wrote my BA thesis on why and how everyone was wrong about "the burning of books and burying of scholars" (no, I didn't dispute that both were pretty bad) and how Qin Shihuang's anti-Confucianism was srsly blown out of proportion by later generations of historians. Heck, I went to Northern Shaanxi twice because of Fusu and Meng Tian.
tl,dr: The Qin are one of my favourite things in the world and a fascinating story and an ideal topic for you to sink your teeth into, given what an amazing storyteller you are.
我这辈子都没这么快的点击过任何东西。我写了一篇关于“焚书坑儒”的学士论文(我不会否认这两种做法都很糟糕)，以及秦始皇的反儒家思想是如何被后世的历史学家夸大的。见鬼，我亲自去了两次陕北，就因为扶苏和蒙恬。
秦朝是我在这世界上最喜欢的东西之一，也是一个很吸引人的故事，也是一个让人瞎想的话题，你是一个很会讲故事的人。

I would argue that most empires in China at that time wanted to conquer all others 6 realms, as shown by them employing legalism scholars in country reform, they just didn’t have the geographical advantages of Qin. Moreover, to say Qin Xi Huang himself is the absolute key would undermine the efforts of his ancestors. The history book summed up the rise of Qin as: using the effort of six generations. Qin became a formidable player because of all the extremely dedicated leaders and their geographical advantages. Arguably Qin Xi Huang is just the executioner.
我认为当时中国的大多数帝国都想征服其他6个王国，比如他们在国家改革中雇佣了法家，他们只是没有秦国的地理优势。而且，如果说秦始皇一个人是秦国成功的绝对关键，那就未免有点无视秦国先人的努力了。史书把秦国的崛起总结为：六代人的努力（六世余烈）。秦国之所以成为一个强大的国家，是因为秦国的每一任领导人都非常敬业，再加上秦国的地理优势。可以说秦始皇只是个刽子手（最终的操刀手）。

In the manga Record of Ragnarok, Qin Shi Huang is known as humanities greatest king. And is such an empathetic person that seeing another person being injured will cause him to have that injury as well. He fights Hades.
在漫画《诸神的记录》中，秦始皇被称为人类已知历史上最伟大的国王。他是一个善解人意的人，看到另一个人受伤，他也会感同身受。他和地狱战斗（绝境翻身）。

Just a few days ago I watched Fallen Civilization's video on the Han dynasty, and it starts off by going over Qin Shi Huang's life. That video is really quite good, but doesn't go into quite as much detail into Qin Shi Huang's early life as this one does.
就在几天前，我看了《堕落文明》关于汉朝的历史视频，它开头首先回顾了秦始皇的一生。那个视频真的很好，但没有像这个视频那样详细地讲述秦始皇的早期经历。

So you're telling me Hero isn't a totally accurate account of how awesome he was and how everything he did was totally justified because it brought unending stability to the country?
所以你是在告诉我《英雄》并没有完全准确地描述出秦始皇有多牛逼？以及他所做的一切都是完全正当的？因为他给国家带来了持久的稳定？

I loved the video... I'm literally obsessed with chinese culture, though I'm not chinese myself, and I'd still want to learn more about this beautiful culture.
I would ask you, if you take suggestions, to maybe do a video about Yandi, the Flame Emperor(s)? I'm definitely ignorant, I don't know if there's less or more to say, but I'm really curious about that.
我喜欢这个视频……我对中国文化非常着迷，虽然我自己不是中国人，但我仍然想要更多地了解这种美丽的文化。
我想问你，如果你接受建议的话，也许可以做一个关于炎帝的视频，火焰皇帝？我比较无知，我不知道是否有更多或更少的说法，但我真的很好奇。

Jen and I always look forward to your Chinese history videos. It's amazing to hear accurate history with a sense of humor. Most documentary narrators are boring.
珍和我一直很期待你的中国历史视频。带着幽默感听着真实的历史讲解真是太棒了。大多数纪录片的讲解员都很无聊。

Honestly, I just feel really, really sad for Ying Zheng. What a genuinely horrific life, no wonder he didn't trust anyone. I want to give him a hug.
老实说，我真的，真的为嬴政感到难过。多么可怕的人生啊，难怪他不相信任何人。我想给他一个拥抱。

Just to add more context to the history relating to the state of Qin. 900 years later in the Three Kingdom era, the Shu prime minister Zhuge Liang in effort to strengthen the kingdom of Shu attempted to conquer northwestern region of Wei, in an attempt to recreate the original borders of the kingdom of Qin with its geographical advantage and rich resources to once again unify China, sadly he passed away before his dream was achieved and Wei eventually conquered Shu, and renamed to Jin.
我在秦国的历史基础上再新增加一些中国历史背景，900年后的三国时代，蜀国相国诸葛亮为了巩固蜀国的力量，企图征服魏国西北部，试图重建秦国以其地理优势和丰富的资源再次统一中国的原始疆界，可惜诸葛亮在梦想实现之前就去世了，魏国最终征服了蜀国，改名为晋。

3 kings of Qin dying within 4 years... is that the context of the number 4 being associated with death and misfortune? (Edit: Apparently not, it just sounds like the word "death" in Chinese/Mandarin/Cantonese/etc)
4年之内死了3个秦王……这就是数字4与死亡和不幸联系在一起的背景吗？(后编辑:显然不是，它只是听起来像“死”这个词在中文/普通话/广东话/等)

Brilliant video, I hope maybe one day you could cover the Chu-Han Contention after the fall of the Qin Dynasty. I wonder if Xiang Yu beat Liu Bang not only would the Han Dynasty not exist but Imperial China would have been some temporary anomaly in the history of a disunited China.
精彩的视频，我希望有一天你可以介绍秦朝灭亡后的楚汉之争。我想知道，如果项羽打败了刘邦，汉朝不存在了，中华帝国（统一）是否也会成为中国漫长分裂历史上的一个暂时的反常现象。

Thanks for this! I play Civilization 6 a lot, and Qin Shi Huang is one of the leaders. I like to learn about all of it, especially when it's basically a very juicy soap opera.
感谢！我经常玩《文明6》，秦始皇是其中的佼佼者。我喜欢了解他所有的一切，尤其是当他的故事似乎是一部非常有趣的肥皂剧时。

I love the fact that the more I learn about QSH, the more I say “what?”. Dude was absolutely legendary and we all love him for that
我喜欢这样一个事实：当我对秦始皇了解得越多，我就越是震惊，他绝对是个传奇，我们都喜欢他的传奇。

Lmfao, I'm loving this so far, not done yet. I had to stop and comment though, that replacing Wang Jian with Li Xin was such a good tactical move, if 600k was really almost all the forces, and with a 200k man force, he basically baited the rebellion into existence. Anyway, I'm going to finish now
Edit: Wow, just wow! What a brilliant and diligent guy! Lazy, no, but mentally disturbed to the point of conquering everything and reforming an entire cultural way of life? Brilliant! This is such a good video, thanks for sharing your effort and work with us, and your knowledge! Appreciate it!
到目前为止我很喜欢这个视频讲的故事，我还没看完，就忍不住停下来发表评论，用李信取代王翦是一个很好的战术举措，因为李信只要20万的兵力，毕竟如果60万真的是秦国几乎所有的力量，王翦基本上就是一个可以随时叛乱的存在。好了，我要结束了。
编辑：哇，就是哇！多么聪明和勤奋的家伙！懒惰，他一点也不懒惰，但精神错乱到想要征服一切，并改革整个文化生活方式的程度？堪称辉煌！这是一个非常好的视频，感谢你与我们分享你的努力和工作，以及你的知识！很感激！

The land that would make up China is a amazing place with each area having their own culture and some of the older dynasties cultures may have been lost but really that’s how China has been peoples taking over ethers and their culture being blessed by the Azure sky and their culture beings prominent and magnanimous China is a amazing land of cultural heritage that stretches back thousands of years and though some culture is replaced by ethers the mindset of the Han and ether peoples are still strong
中国这片土地是一个神奇的地方，每个地区都有自己的文化，一些更古老的朝代文化可能已经丢失了，但这就是中国人民传承的方式，他们的文化被蔚蓝的天空祝福，他们的文化是耀眼和温和的，中国是一个神奇的文化遗产，可以追溯到几千年前的历史，尽管一些文化被其他文化取代，但汉民族和其他民族的心态仍然强大

“Some say the six states fell as much to their own corruption as to the Qin armies.”
Government and politics really haven’t changed much in 2 millennia, have they?
“有人说，六国既败于秦军，也败于自己的腐败。”
那里的政府和政治在2000年里真的没有太大变化，不是吗？

I go to a Chinese private school in Southeast Asia and I'm very surprised to find out that he did more than just 焚书坑儒 (burn books, bury Confucian scholars). Our history books didn't describe him as well as you did. I have a new perception of him now!
我在东南亚的一所中国私立学校上学，我很惊讶地发现秦始皇做的不仅仅只是焚书坑儒(烧书，埋葬儒家学者)。我们的历史书对他的描述不像你那么好。我现在对他有了新的认识！

I first became familiar with Qin Shi Huang from the attrocities that is The Mummy III and honestly, Jet Li's potrayal of the dragon emperor is the only redeeming quality of that movie, but ultimately because the movie as a whole is just... boring, i kinda forget about all of it, until recently i read a manga series called "Record of Ragnarok" where the entire premise of the series is 13 historical figure from throughout the history has to fought in a 1 vs 1 tournament against gods from various pantheons to ensure humanities survival, and the latest human to fought were Qin Shi Huang who had to fight Greece's god of the Underworld Hades, and i'm telling you, the author made Qin Shi Huang the coldest, most badass character yet and so i've spent a few weeks studying the character whenever i had the chance... so thank you for helping me cause i take it there's a lot of version of Qin's story, from my personal findings, i take it the western historians really love to paint him as this heartless, villainous emperor with no redeeming qualities, while some eastern historians describe his as a rather tragic figure
我第一次了解秦始皇是在《木乃伊3》中，说实话，李连杰对龙帝的刻画是这部电影唯一可取之处，但最终这部电影作为一个整体……堪称无聊，我有点忘了这一切了，直到最近我读了一个名为“诸神世界的记录”的漫画系列，该系列的整个前提是历史上的13个历史人物必须在一场1对1的比赛中与来自万神殿的神战斗，以确保人类的生存，而最近出场战斗的人类是秦始皇，他必须与希腊的冥王哈德斯战斗，我告诉你，作者把秦始皇塑造成最冷酷的帝王，也是迄今为止最坏的角色，所以我一有机会就花了几周时间研究这个角色……
所以谢谢你的帮助，因为我认为秦始皇的故事有很多版本，从我个人的发现，我认为西方的历史学家真的喜欢把他描绘成一个无情的，邪恶的皇帝，没有一丝补救的邪恶品质，而一些东方的历史学家把他描述成一个相当悲剧的人物
