Corrections: Terracotta (as several of you have pointed out) is a form of clay ceramic, like pottery. Not rock.
Also, apparently in China, the castration of eunuchs DID involve taking everything, unlike other parts of the world.

The guy with the baguette and construction vest is a reference to the paris riots that were happening at the time that video was made

I've never heard the phrase "Is that Adolf Hitler's dad?!" in such a gleeful tone, and I doubt I ever will again.

Fun fact: The bird at the beggining is apparently singing the following:

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...

Yup, Oversimplified Rickrolled us..... TWICE

@shengloongtan229 3 years ago (edited)

the guy in the construction vest and the baguette at 11:09 is a reference to the 'gillet jaunes' (translated yellow jacket) protests of France in 2018, which were topical at the time. The protests where about the rise is fuel prizes but soon became about the general rise in living costs. The protests went on for weeks and Paris was massively vandalised (for example graffiti on the arc the triomphe) as police couldn’t get a hold on the situation. The yellow construction jackets where the main symbol of the protest and almost every protestor wore one. I recommend everyone to look up some footage of the protests because it is pretty crazy to see Paris like that.

"Welcome back everybody to another reaction video" has become my favorite line. Thank u for introducing urself

17:00 That kind of reminds me of Robespierre. Isn't that how he fell from power? He just announced "Yeah, so I'm gonna have a bunch of you guillotined later, but I'm not gonna say who" and then they all just voted to guillotine him first.

22:13 actually, his confidence had a basis, Dong Zhuo was a well known tyrant, but he treated his subordinates really well, to the point they were still loyal to him even after his death. Lu Bu was among the people he treated extremely well than the rest of his subordinates since he was also his foster son, so, at that time there was no reason for Lu Bu to betray Dong Zhuo, also, the whole thing with the minister and Dong Zhuo stealing Lu Bu's girl was a legend, that didn't actually happen. So, why did Lu Bu betray him then? Well, there was one time when Dong Zhuo mistreated Lu Bu and almost get him killed, this made Lu Bu held a grudge on him, and eventually killed him out of fear after he had an affair with one of Dong Zhuo's maid.

This era is really interesting, there are a lot of materials on it, both real and fictional, I think you should react to more of this era.

My Grandpa recently passed away and your videos have really helped me out to ease my pain significantly, and for that I am truly thankful to you Chris. God bless you and your family and may you all live a happy life ❤️

Before the Qin, those previous "dynasties" were more like the biggest clan. The Qin were the first to unite all of China. The others before that always had rivals. The Qin and the Han are to Chinese Culture kind of like what the Greeks and the Romans are to Western Culture, as far as lasting impact.

The guy with the baguette is a reference to the Gilets Jaunes movement in France in 2019. They were protests against increased prices and taxation on fuel, as well as disproportionate tax burdens on the working class, hence the yellow vests.

Fun fact: the Terracotta army was hard craft from Terracotta, a type of fired masonry. Each person in the army is unique and would have been beautifully painted at the time of burrial

23:00 So Dong Zhou is dead and the Eunuchs probably were provisional leaders.

So i guess the whole government was... dongless.

@jacob8565 4 years ago

Baguette man is a reference to the yellow vest protests in France in recent years. High-vis vests have to be kept in cars so everyone has them

@voldavkuk 4 years ago

I dont know if somebody corrected this earlyer, but NO chinese Eunuchs didn't have "Dongs", in China boys had to lose EVERYTHING for becoming en Eunuch, not just the testicles, everything... It is pretty harsh and many small boys didnt survive this procedure, but many more parents where willing to risk it, so that their boy would have a chnace to become a magistrate at the empirial court...

11:20 It's a reference to the Yellow Vest Protests in France 3 years ago

Man, so happy that you achieve your dream of being a history teacher. You are not limited to a physical classroom, or a county, state or even a country any more.

The nutty thing is that this story has two accounts. One version is the actual historical telling, while the other is called Romance of the Three Kingdoms.. which is a more romanticized version that most modern interpretations base the Three Kingdoms story off of... Dynasty Warriors is a prime example of this, and they've been doing this for about 10 games now and a bunch of sequel games on top of it. Although it isn't mentioned in this video, one of Liu Bei's generals, Guan Yu, became such an accomplished warrior he was deified as a God of War.
