The Forbidden City [Legenda] (1/6)

I do not own the video nor do I claim any rights over it.
That being said, I must confess that it took me a while to 'hardsub' this video, for I knew next to nothing about subbing, timing, soft-subbing, hard-subbing and all that.
For some reason, I can't get a better picture on this video. I apologize.

Don't forget to rate.

The manchu really did nothing during their occupation...

all they do is... making sure they rule... at whatever cost...

one of the dumbest dynasty in China's history...

[spike378]

Chinese are awesome! They set examples for southeast countries, Korea and Japan to follow. It just let you wonder why phillipines can fail so much

[mrrrloc]

How do you pronounce dynasty? die-nasty or din-asty

[aa3gunner]

@spike378 Philippines failed because they were ruled by barbarian Spaniards for 333 years... and under the oppression of the Roman Catholic Church....As usual, the large Chinese population there still thrived regardless.

@SocratesTheGadfly A mixed economy is what you have in the United States and just about all developed nations. In a pure capitalist economy, you're not supposed to have things like income tax, social security, securities and exchange regulations, medicare, anti-trust laws, etc. A pure capitalism didn't work in the 18th and 19th century, so communism came as a reponse, and pure capitalism integrated some communist concepts and evolved into a mixed economy that most developed nations have now.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@bluemonolith88 WRONG! you mention the disparity between classes but fail to mention let alone recognize the disparity that exists in the communist countries that MURDERED over one hundred fifty million of its own people during the past 95 plus years. communism is an evil ideology that is just another form of oppression like the despotism of monarchy, imperialism and facism. mixed economies DO NOT WORK and "modern" europe is a prime example of that type of FAILURE!

[bluemonolith88]

@SocratesTheGadfly And when you start to talk about 200-300 year Western hegemony (which we are at a tail-end of) and why Japan and S. Korea's economy are where they are at right now, it gets pretty complicated. I think you're oversimplifying too much.

[bluemonolith88]

@SocratesTheGadfly Well, I think you're forgetting the fact that slavery, numerous modern wars (including two world wars), extreme disparity of wealth during the18th and 19th century Europe, and more were all by-products capitalism. Communism came about as a response to the kind of extreme form of a capitalism we saw in the past, and it reformed it for the better, as you're techically living in a mixed economy in America.

thanks to the Manchu, we Chinese (Han) got pushed back 50 years backward in technology. Ming was already exploring gun-powder weapons,the Manchu just want to use swords and bows. The Forbidden City was built by the Ming (Han Chinese). Manchu is tribe based people. They are hunters and gathers. When Han Chinese took over in 1949, we are the number 2 , soon, number 1 economic power. That says a lot.

@cedarvaleave Haha, they are, along with Yuan idiots, the dumbest dynasty in Chinese history.
