Inventions of the Great Ancient Chinese Empire (5 of 5)

[PAULOBEAR41]

chines ppl's invention was far more advanced and original.

The european's inventions were based on chinese inventions.

The african inventions were none, but adam and eve was black!

[Sniper2008009]

@FatRedneckTerrorist

Umm, what? You're kidding right? The Chinese often viewed outsiders as barbarians not worthy of respect. The only reason why Chinese naval superiority fell and Europeans subsequently rose was due to the fact that the Chinese viewed "barbarian" nations had little to offer to the Chinese, hence they dropped out on the race. In contrast, the Europeans, though viewing outside peoples as also barbarians, thought them fitting to exploit due to their supposed superiority.

[Condom007of007Solace]

@Sniper2008009 You are forgetting, or you do not know of, the Manchus... It's like being possessed by an evil spirit.... The Manchu tribe had captured China and ended the Ming Dynasty, by a Chinese traitor (a courtesan) and luck. The Manchu people were much less civilized than the Chinese, one of their biggest flaw is that the Manchus cannot read, they were low educated barbarians. That's why China was poor against the Europeans, it was the Manchus ruling.

[Sniper2008009]

@Condom007of007Solace

"You are forgetting, or you do not know of, the Manchus"

You just proved what I was saying earlier. The Chinese superiority complex is what led to the Chinese downfall. I'm not saying though that you should exploit other people, what I'm saying is that the Chinese should view other people with equality and not view them as dirt if they're going to progress. Other peoples and nations also have something to offer.

[Condom007of007Solace]

@Sniper2008009 "What I'm saying is that the Chinese should view others with equality and not view them as dirt if they're going to progress"Wow you're joking right? because that's what we've been doing for the past two thousand years.

"often view others as barbarians not worthy of respect" Are you kidding me? The Chinese totally respected outsiders.

If what you said was true, our culture right now would be as racist as the West

If what you've said was true, the Silk Road would not of happened.

[Sniper2008009]

@Condom007of007Solace

"Are you kidding me? The Chinese totally respected outsiders."

The only civilization China respected was the Roman Empire. Otherwise, no. Read your history books.

[Condom007of007Solace]

@Sniper2008009 We don't treat others with equality, we treat them like crap? Don't you mean the West? We viewed ourselves as superior but how did we not respect others when we've been like one of the nicest people in the world? Lets see you prove that Chinese people are as racist like you've said.

[Sniper2008009]

@Condom007of007Solace

Google Ughyur and Tibet. And yes, pointing out the flaws of the west doesn't make yours correct, you still do the same things. Goodbye, and learn read your history books for once. Also, a little logic won't hurt too since you think riding your moral high horse and pointing out the flaws of others will make the Chinese superior.

[Condom007of007Solace]

@Sniper2008009 Still do the same thing? Do we committ genocide? Do we wipe out an entire indiginous population? Tibet agreed to united with China during the Qin Dynasty and Ughyur was where the Manchus originated. In YOUR history books they'd probably say China invaded there. So, if your point is true, we would be the same racist assholes like the Americans at the moment. Goodbye.

[01misheel]

@Condom007of007Solace dude are you saying tibet wants to be a part of china? fuck no as well as inner mongolia, chinese treat others like crap they are communist after all 

[Condom007of007Solace]

@01misheel Are you fucking serious? no one here is talking about the present day. T.T

It's China over 200 years ago and more. Tibet agreed to become part of China during the middle ages and Inner Mongolia became part of China because when Manchus took over, they've included Inner Mongolia because it was a Manchu territory at the time. There was NO CCP during those times dumbfuck.

[Condom007of007Solace]

@Sniper2008009 By the way, you're the only one here with this kind of arguement, people won't by your statements.

[GuitarDestroyer77777]

@Sniper2008009 Haha, what kind of an idiot are you? Oh, yes, a Westerner. Well, my buddy. Listen to this. When Japanese attacked Koreans, Chinese helped Koreans defend off the Japanese, now Koreans disrespect Chinese., also when Jurchens asked Chinese for help because Jurchen dynasty at that time called Liao was terrorizing their people, Chinese Song dynasty sent an army and helped the Jurchen, then they welcomed them in their palaces, but Jurchen betrayed Chinese. Who is disrespecting who now?!

[Condom007of007Solace]

@Sniper2008009 Seriously, what you're saying is the opposite of what China's like.

[GuitarDestroyer77777]

@Sniper2008009 Haha, idiot. You are both racist and an idiot, by the way I'm European, not Chinese. You said Chinese were hostile to others, while I proved you wrong, I proved you that Chinese helped Jurchens and Koreans remain alive, and then Koreans and Jurchen turn their back on China and betrayed Chinese people. So they, the outsiders, are hostile, every single little filthy country around China attempted to attack China, and they all failed. Idiot.

[Sniper2008009]

@GuitarDestroyer77777

"by the way I'm European"

I find it funny you now claim to be European but called me a "westerner" in your prior post. Ah yes, the effects of "FOB" and confused immigrants :)

[GuitarDestroyer77777]

@Sniper2008009 Yes. But Balkan and Serbia are not Western civilization, you know what evil forms Western civilization :)

[Sniper2008009]

@GuitarDestroyer77777

"But Balkan and Serbia are not Western civilization"

*FACEPALM*

[GuitarDestroyer77777]

@Sniper2008009 Western civilization are U.K., Germany, France, Spain, Portugal and U.S.A., we Balkanians are in the middle between Westerners and Easterners. We will never accept to be called Westerners.

[pownage32]

this is complete crap.

we thaught of the ideas before we new the chinese had made them so it wouldnt of made a difference if china invented them first!

[halashet]

if the europeans did not conquer china and asia as a whole, there would have been one asia under the chinese empire, and it might have been the world's strongest super power,. but yet history favored the westerners and made asia poor by stealing its resources for the benefits of their respective country..now with the rise of asia and the accelerating downfall of the west,. asia will regain its former glory..there is no person more clever than the chinese..

[7Know7Thy7Enemy7]

@halashet Whites even pillage your kind too? Whites never cease to amaze me. Whites even stole Ancient Egyptian from blacks

[CCkeminliu959]

@halashet

I agree!

[01misheel]

@halashet dude you think china would have ruled japan,korea,india? of course not most asians hate

[GuitarDestroyer77777]

@halashet Asian, and East Asian people (Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, Burmese, Okinawan, Tibetan etc etc etc... are all descendants of Chinese, it's just they separated.

[myrddinistheshit]

@FatRedneckTerrorist you know the truth, neo. you should teach history at european universities

[juki0h]

man, imagine what our world would look like if it werent for china? crazy, we probably wouldnt be here watching this on youtube. id say lets just appreciate other people culture, inventions, etc, remember were all human beings, and were all living here together on this planet, we must work together and fight off aliens in the future

[jobcadag]

@juki0h europeans will invent them anyway even without even seeing the chinese inventions. all this inventions are tied to agriculture. u need fist to invent agriculture then the rest will fallow one by one. agriculture in europe can't be invented because of the harsh weather so they remained as hunter gatherers until they were able to tame the land by means of agriculture. after that europeans had a lot of catching up to do ulike the chinese which are blessed with d right enviromnt and climate

[Sniper2008009]

@jobcadag

The Romans also have almost the same climate as most of Western Europe, so I don't really see how your statements can be true. Europe took off because of Chinese ingenuity, nothing to be ashamed about.

[kingbros360]

if u are american the only ones u can blame for the new world invasion is your own ancestors and no body elese . i from east europe and the only thing mi ancestors have been doing is to try to protect our land from the facist british german and french invaiders so so dont be talkink so much if u dont know about europe here in europe nobody likes the angloamerican empire that u know az home

[yerk3]

"BY-zan-teens."

[kokopelli314]

Really not fair to compare Chinese and European rudder technology. They were very different and specialized for different waters. Enjoy this video though.

[albinoman13bt]

@FatRedneckTerrorist While the downfall of the Native Americans is tragic, most of their deaths were from disease. Couple that with the fact that most of them were still literally in the stone age there was a huge power vacuum. Also they weren't driven to extinction like civilizations conquered by past empires.

[MJFAN666]

MENTAL ORGASMS.

[bassetter1]

The chinese copied all their "inventions" from the egyptians.They didnt invent anything but figures made of clay.

[BAIYUE1]

@bassetter1

No,chinese rob many invention from Bai Yue people(who live in south china in ancient time).Chinese is only invader.

[magical11]

@BAIYUE1 Where did you get this from? And by robbing you mean adapting? Because by that token, Europeans would have "robbed" their whole culture.

[BAIYUE1]

@magical11

History of Bai Yue was hided by Chinese.

And I read many ancient document to prove that chinese rob many civilization of other country in ancient time.They invaded and after rob as Miao civilization in central yangzi river, DOngzi civilization in near Korea,Bai Yue civilization in south Yangzi river.

[magical11]

@BAIYUE1 Ironically enough, I'm also familiar with your theory. But many of these chinese inventions were invented much after than the aquisition of these civilizations. And these cultures can hardly be called "civilizations", as they were mostly large tribal groups or villages.

And finally, this was not "hidden" from the world. Did the English "hide" the invasion of the Britons? The assimilations of a large celtic culture in Britain?

[BAIYUE1]

@magical11

wrong!

typically, Chinese lies that Bai yue is only tribe or further is uncivilized. RIght? Chinese lied that.

But in fact, it is not true. Many evidence prove that Bai Yue have owner kingdom with great civilization of agriculture

Because Bai Yue is rich in culture,love peace, rich by trade in sea and Bai Yue didn't need war . Bai Yue didn;t have war so much as CHinese so it is reason why Bai Yue lost in war with Chinese (who have so many war ) from 2000 years ago.

[knightj60]

@BAIYUE1 yes, the chinese did inteed assimilate many MANY civilizations of its time, as many as 50-ish? Those civilizations eventually forgot their heritage and turned into mainstream chinese. Now theres just Han, the rest are very very minority.

[BAIYUE1]

@knightj60

Now there just Han?

No, Which belongs Bai Yue will forever belongs to Bai Yue's descendant,even they are only minority> Or with other civilization which was destroyed and robed by Han chinese.

[BAIYUE1]

@knightj60

What is language of Han chinese?

Han chinese is one of 56 Chinese ethnc.Right? One ethnic has only one language.

[ihavesomerice]

@BAIYUE1 they aare different dialects because people had an accent

[BAIYUE1]

@ihavesomerice

I think what is dialect is only joke.

They have enough factor to become truly language.

[magical11]

@bassetter1 So the Egyptians invented the compass? The paper? Gunpowder?  Don't go tooting the "copy" horn with no hard facts.

[TheMostEvilDarkLord]

@FatRedneckTerrorist

How is it fake? Everyone says it exists by hating it.

[Commandos12]

@TheMostEvilDarkLord lmao i love ur comment <3

[kaunas88]

A classic lesson about how becoming closed off from the world is not helpful. we can always learn things from other cultures and not be afraid to copy them.

[DavidUmstattd]

Without the importations of these technologies... The west would have just invented them eventually. Kinda like how they invented the flame thrower before you? (as you admitted in the video.) But there is little reason to invent a technology when you can get it from someone else.

[dennisjiewenliu]

@DavidUmstattd Yes, in another world, the West would have just invented them eventually. So in another world, I will see you on the moon in another 500 years...

[arescraft]

@DavidUmstattd

Uh...ok, you do know the Chinese innovations started the age of science in Europe right? IF the Chinese weren't there at all, Europe would be in the dark ages for another 200 years at least. AND the Chinese have been battling the Mongolian and Huns for centuries. IF the Chinese weren't there, the Mongolian and Hun would have conquered, not just eastern Europe, but the entire continent as well. So Europe would be behind by another 200 years.. See everything is inter-connected.

[sergei91federov]

It's funny the English, French, Spanish claim they were the first 'civilized' society to discover America when they robbed and enslaved the natives. So the 'savage' Asians who came to America first are not civilized? Still as of now, it's 'civilized' nations such as the USA and UK that are robbing weak nations in Mid East.

[TrollCapAmerica]

@sergei91federov

Yes yes your very cool for hating the people that dont force political prisoners to work ins sweatshops and "encourage" pesents to kill worthless female children.Now down another overpriced starbucks and STFU

[sergei91federov]

@TrollCapAmerica This ranting is coming from someone who watches Japanese anime and manga.  enough said.

[TrollCapAmerica]

@sergei91federov

+1 Pompous ass rating.Im sorry im not as sophisticated as you I just cant get off on sticking my head up my ass and sniffing my own pretentious fumes.Now down your starbucks listen to another indie band and bitch about the first world countries that made lifestyle that enables you to be a fat stuck-up prick

[sergei91federov]

@TrollCapAmerica Yes, thanks for starbucks.

[sergei91federov]

Oldest surviving civilization and on the rise again. Love Chinese women....

[NERFELFLA]

@sergei91federov I love chinese women too. but seems chinese guys are hated a lot nowa day. don;t know why.

[WilshireONTUBE]

@NERFELFLA because you are small minded...and any women from any culture is loved...trust me...i love women

[NERFELFLA]

@WilshireONTUBE how I am small minded? I don't understand :P

[MrDirtyDuty]

@NERFELFLA exactly and god knows you wont figure it out

[EricMetalGuitarist]

It should come as no surprise that the DNA of certain Amerindian groups shares a similar background with East Asian peoples, considering that the indigenous people of the Americas trace their Ice Age lineage back to those who crossed the Bering Strait from northeast Asia into what is now Alaska, USA. Which US textbook stated Zheng He's fleet discovered the Americas? Also, all this mention of Columbus and nothing about the Viking explorer Leif Ericson five hundred years earlier?

[donguinto]

@EricMetalGuitarist Sigh. Charlotte H. Rees, daughter of Dr. Hendon Harris, bought an old American highschool history textbook dated 1910 from an antique/bookstore which taught that the Chinese discovered America before Columbus. Apparently books prior to this date consistently taught this, but books dated after 1910 found in the same bookstore taught that Columbus discovered America first!!! Also watch "In Search of Chinese Explorers". Believe whatever you want. Ciao.

[EricMetalGuitarist]

@donguinto Anything that comes out of the mouth of Charlotte Rees should be taken with a giant grain of salt. This, the same woman who claims that a 16th century AD Korean map (possibly) showing the Americas is based off a Chinese map dated c. 2200 BC. For one, the earliest Chinese maps discovered by archaeologists date to the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). Two, the earliest archaeologically confirmed dynasty in Chinese history is the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600-1050 BC). [CONTINUED ABOVE]...

[EricMetalGuitarist]

@donguinto [CONTINUED FROM BELOW]...So Ms. Rees is basically saying the Chinese had advanced seafaring technology and cartography before there was even "Chinese" people. The Yellow River region at the time was still populated by primitive neolithic and early bronze age peoples who had not yet coalesced into a coherent unified culture. And if you think American textbooks stated this about Zheng He in the 19th century, you don't know anything about old-timey American euro- and anglo-centricism.

[EricMetalGuitarist]

@donguinto And finally, your insistence that I watch "in Search of Chinese Explorers" is also laughable, since Hui Shen's account in the 5th century AD most likely describes a part of Japan during the Kofun period than any other civilization in the Pacific. For one, Hui Shen says that the people he encountered rode horses and used wheeled carts to transport goods. These are two critical things Native American groups lacked entirely before the arrival of European explorers and settlers.

[E2F83]

Did you know that Chinese produced babies over 2000 years ago? Thus they were the first to conduct genetic engineering!

Did you know that Chinese made silk nets over 2000 years ago which sometimes conducted static electricity, thus Chinese were the first inventors of the internet!

[darknessb930]

I lol'd at the one person who denies that chinese created these amazing inventions.

[meldufresne]

these videos are great lerning tools. keep them coming

[proflaura]

they just left off something important. that the chinese made many great long-distance journeys at one period. when they brought things back the emperor was reported to have said it was dangerous and so ordered the end to voyages of exploration

[triphongz9]

how ever at d end ,,,da complet product its who??????

[deliverer46]

wow....do those western people used as props in this documentary know what the document is telling about their country?

[cttn101]

there are more World Heritage Sites in Europe.... the smallest continent and land in the world.... than there is everywhere else put together.... the European Continent is far superior to China.... USA created by europe, is also far superior.... DEAL WITH CHINA MEN...... we rule, you drool....

[KILLERZ0000]

@cttn101 What european country are u from anyway cos u can't compare a continent with china thats ridiculous or are u implying european history needs an entire continent to compare it with ancient china?lol Youve never been to china and speculated the great wall, forbidden city, li river, terrocotta warriors, the shaolin temple, wudang etc. China, japan has skyscrapers as they are much more modern than the west which are 6 yrs behind on technology and cities better than new york.

[cttn101]

The Foundation of our modern world is purely a western thing.... deal with it..... proof..?? for over 2000 years, europeans have been continually evolving in society,, you only need to visit europe to see the magnificient cities that buildings from all time periods..... the dark ages, middle ages, ages of enlightment, the ages of discovery, the ages of colonisation and the modern era... go to china and see what they have to represent their history..? they have steel skyrise copied from USA

[Imprezziveness]

@cttn101 very ignorant! this video is not even saying who's better than who and who is smarter than who. It was probably European religion that slowed advances in technology over there. Early European philosophers and scientists feared the church so much they often kept information in their writings only.

[donguinto]

@Imprezziveness This is true. The Church suppressed knowledge during medieval times. That's why it was also called the "Dark Ages". It wasn't till the Renaissance and the use of moveable-type that European knowledge spread. Ironically, though, printing and paper originated from China. So without those 2 things, there is no moveable type.

[maxkaamsut]

@cttn101 i think china best invetion is martial arts. best ever next to music and other sports

[donguinto]

@cttn101 With all due respect, you mentioned "colonisation". That's a politically correct term for "invasion" and exploitation of a foreign land. My point is, colonialism helped Europe, USA and later Japan became rich at the expense of poorer nations in Africa, Latin America and Indo-China. But now Euro nations and USA economy is struggling, partly because they lost their colonies after WW2 . Nonetheless, both West and East took turns learning from each other. In next 100 years..who knows

[sergei91federov]

@donguinto Yeah, many in 'rich' nations do not realize they prospered because of their robbing of third world countries. USA and UK are biggest thieves of all time. As the saying goes..'history is written by victors', so Western history is often biased.

[cttn101]

the chinese never ruled the seas.... what a load of bull shit.... if they so called rulled the seas.... then why didn't they discover Australia... and North America which is closer to China than Europe...

[Imprezziveness]

@cttn101 B/c Chinese mindset wasn't the same as Europeans. They were battling themselves in a gigantic continent

[donguinto]

@cttn101 Europeans never really "discovered" America. Look up Zheng He, a Chinese Admiral of the 1400's. In Gavin Menzies bestselling book 1421: The Year that the Chinese Discovered America reveals this. His other book 1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance explains how Da Vinci and others copied from the Chinese. The Chinese explored till the late 1400's, then the emporer began "closing the doors" on the world.

[EricMetalGuitarist]

@donguinto Menzies is a hack. Zheng He's fleets were essentially giant diplomatic convoys on the high seas with the purpose of gathering foreign tribute for the Ming court. They traveled the Indian Ocean all the way to Africa along routes the Chinese had been familiar with for centuries. Their chief purpose was not world exploration for resource extraction, as with later European fleets. And no Ming Chinese fleet sailed to Italy, that is preposterous and without evidence.

[donguinto]

@EricMetalGuitarist DNA of native Indians (both N and S) points to their Asian origin. Also, Mayans have Mongolian spots (a birth mark) that can only be traced to Han Chinese. Watch "In Search of Chinese Explorers" for more evidence. Pre-1910 American highschool history text books used to teach that the Chinese discovered America first. But this was later changed. The Columbus Expo of 1893 played a role in this as well.

[hidebynight]

@cttn101 they did discover Australia and America but they didnt take over becuase there was already the natives living there and didnt want to disterb them unlike the europeans just enslaving them for their own good

[labitx]

@theninjaswerehere The 'west' here probably subtly refers to the british.

[DVDluvr123]

@labitx So you think Leonardo da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, and the Wright brothers were British?

The naval might of the Ming Empire in the 15th century is capable of beating the entire world's fleets combined. Not only were they equipped with highly advanced weapon systems, their size and numbers are unbelievable. The Treasure Ships span 137 meters in length and 55 meters in width, at least twice the size of the largest European warships 2 centuries later. They used this awesome power to rid piracy in Malacca Strait, ending conflict in numerous countries and establishing trade with them.

China was strong. but they were a complete failure when they were QING.

[cool68yud]

I'm a chinese but sometimes I think it was lucky that china got invaded by the westerners in mid 19th century, if not china would forever sleep under its own superiority within 400 years of closed-door and corrupted Qing dynasty policy. By conquering Hong Kong and Macau the westerners had brought many new ideas to China and the chineses had been fully awaken from day dreaming. No offence to my own root but indeed it was true.

lol if they didn't built that canal then the world would have been a different place.. i mean c'mon ships with flamethrowers and rockets will take on crappy cannon ships anyday plus cannons take forever to reload and what not... and once the rockets or fire reaches their ships it will explode considering how flammable the explosives and gunpowder they had on board... we saw this stuff in the movie RED CLIFF! lol

[AllenDGM]

they* meet it.

[NVMINDEAF]

@AllenDGM You do know that cannons were also invented by Chinese and brought to Europe by the Mongolians right>?

[AllenDGM]

@NVMINDEAF I did meantion Artillery in one of my comments mate. =D

[AllenDGM]

@NVMINDEAF Mention****

[AllenDGM]

and Don't get any ideas that i'm calling everyone else stupid, cause I didn't. I said people find a challenge and the meet it.

[AllenDGM]

And anyway why exact are you bring up Egypt, Rome and Greeks on a documentary about Chinese inventions. All you have to know is that the Chinese inspired many things we have today, and they were inspired to create them too meet challenges they faced, like any other kingdom with a brain would.

[AllenDGM]

Oh and don't worry, with China becoming more prosperous now such as wealth and such The chinese will work up the will to revive their place in the world and remove the feeling of being bullied by foreigners. I mean If thats what the chines could do 2-3000 years ago then what do you think they can do Today!, oh and if you say fake cheap stuff, that era is coming to an end soon. Currently some products have started to match the quality found in western nations. The worlds got it coming!

[AllenDGM]

They missed Paper, and Artillery. They needs to mention Artillery!!! and how the Chinese would use poison tip bows on the repeating crossbows to poison troops as they advanced.

[paddlepopkid]

ummmm some of these are facts are very far from the truth.... because britian had already forged her invinisble battle ships because... it says in 1782....but north american was already developed and becoming an indepedant country... and the british beat the spanish in the 1600's.... and australia was found before 1782 as well! very very wrong facts! i think this documentary is a shame... trying to make the chinese not feel so inferior to westerners!

[liguofu]

@paddlepopkid no way chinese would have such feeling. you cannot put your feeling to someone else. don't feel inferior, buddy~

[TenderTrap86]

paddlepopkid

Yeah, this one kind of me made me sick. "Oh, see. The Europeans stole everything." Give me a break. They fail to mention the fact that many of these Chinese inventions or concetions were already developed, and developed well, by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.

[gabe228]

@paddlepopkid

the facts about the invention is correct, lol... u're nip-picking this date that doesn't counter the fact that british wouldn't have the tech to create a strong navy without copying the innovations of the chinese.

making your point.. therefore.. moot even if true.

[logannleslie]

if you believe all of tis,,,, well, that's up to you

[TsangBokyan]

and if you like to believe otherwise... well, it's up to you....

Great video, well said. I like it. :D

I think all people in the world should share new ideas and stop accrediting themselves, that way the world would advance faster. I want that day to come, where we fly from planets to planets within a short time, like 12 days. :D
