we talk about some of the

様態の副詞

truly ancient Chinese
dynasties, the Shang Dynasty,

the Zhou Dynasty, and as we
get to the end of the Zhou

Dynasty, China falls into
chaos in the Warring States

Period, which is a really
tough time for China.

But the silver lining is it's
also the time that you have

all these schools of
thought, the Hundred Schools

of Thought, of which
Confucianism and Daoism

and Legalism and all of these
other schools of thought

But what we're really going
to focus on in this video

is the beginning of truly
imperial China under the Qin

So here we are in the third
century B.C.E. and you have

your first true emperor
of China, Qin Shi Huang,

and the dynasty that he
sets up is known as the Qin

Dynasty which will be
shortly lived but it's known

as the first dynasty to truly unify China.

This is where we believe the
word China actually comes from,

The dynasty is known for its
fairly harsh, centralized

rule motivated over the
foundation on legalism.

In terms of relics that
we have from that period,

you might have heard
of the Terra Cotta Army

which was buried along
with Qin Shi Huang's grave.

Now the Qin Dynasty is
most known for ending the

Warring States Period and
unifying China, and really

laying the foundation for
the Golden Age of China

The Han Dynasty lasts from
roughly 200 B.C.E. to a little

And in my head I think of
it as bit of a contemporary

The 200 years of the Western
Han Dynasty correspond

roughly to the Roman
Republic, and as we get to the

Eastern Han Dynasty, that
corresponds to really the heyday

And it's also a golden age of
China, a time where science

and the arts, and especially
Confucianism begins to

really take hold in China,
becomes officially part

of the civil service,
part of the bureaucracy.

The Han Dynasty was so
successful at unifying China

culturally and linguistically,
that today, 92% of Chinese

So sometimes you'll hear
the word Han referring to

the Han Dynasty, and sometimes
it will be referring to

the Han ethnic group,
which really derives from

the notion of the unification
under the Han Dynasty.

Now the Han Dynasty, as we see
here, ends at the beginning

of the third century in the
Common Era, and then China

gets fragmented again,
and it gets split into

This roughly 360 years that
I don't have marked on my

timeline, it's not that
nothing was happening in China,

in fact, a lot was, but
China was not unified.

To get a sense of that,
here is China during the

Three Kingdoms Period
in the third century,

shortly after the fall of the Han Dynasty.

You see the Jin Dynasty depicted
here in the fourth century,

Six Dynasties Period, this
roughly 360 years of a

And then you see this North
and South Dynasty Period

And eventually, China is
reunified, and that happens

It is unified under
Emperor Wen of Sui for whom

the dynasty is known,
and similar to the Qin,

what the Sui are most known
for is taking this chaotic

And the Sui are ethnically Han,
and they lay the foundation

for another golden age
of China under the Tang

The Tang Dynasty depicted
here, it rivals the Han

It's a time where the arts,
the sciences really come about.

One interesting thing about
this Six Dynasties Period

that we talk about,
which is a chaotic time,

it is a time that Buddhism
starts to come into China

from central Asia, originally
from India, and by the

Now one of the most important
innovations that comes from

Tang China is the notion
of block printing.

What you see depicted here
is one of the first books

ever printed, the Diamond
Sutra, during the Tang Dynasty.

Now, after the Tang falls in
907, you have, on a historical

time scale, a relatively
brief period of chaos again.

About 50, I guess exactly
53 years where you get this

Five Dynasties and 10 Kingdoms
Period, but then China

And the Song Dynasty is able
to, on some level, pick up

One thing that happens as
we get into the late Tang

Dynasty, is that there's
push-back against Buddhism

that we talk about in
other videos, and you see

Neo-Confucianism begin to
take hold and it really

takes hold under the Song
Dynasty that we talk about

The Song Dynasty is also
known as a time of really

putting a lot of energy
into the civil service
