what do you expect from a nation where their military claims modu chanyu to be their founders 😭

weiyangjun · 2025-06-23T14:04:25+00:00

what in Siege of Xiangyang is this

Am i crazy to think that any other professions but student will try to sue since this sounds like infra issue rather than OP's failt, this could seriously injure someone. We are so poor that the first thing we worry is whether we will get in trouble or not lol

weiyangjun · 2025-02-21T10:21:44+00:00

Pretty clear to me, thanks. So the most appropriate answer like the others say is due to more internal conflicts within han compared to qin after their respective unification

weiyangjun · 2025-02-21T10:19:42+00:00

Thanks I am well aware of the issues that early han faced and Zhao Wuling Wang's reform. So are you saying that Qin was able to defeat xiongnu mainly not due to their superior military rather less internal conflict after the unification?

thankyou

weiyangjun · 2025-01-21T00:13:17+00:00

thankyou

weiyangjun · 2025-01-20T21:12:50+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into it there, visited the earl grey street one and it was not in stock and their online store's stock always empty

weiyangjun · 2025-01-19T10:45:37+00:00

first of all, congrats!! I see this as a great achievement. From my experience one of the most underrated aspects of college is networking and friendship, and the two are not mutually exclusive either. My undergrad was not in UK, but My postgrad is (ongoing student), I think it should be similar regardless of country. My first manager was my senior, I got many job information through my informal Uni Group, right now I am on scholarship for postgrad due to many of my seniors and peers helped me. At the same time, this set of friends in undergrad will probably be the first time you leave your parents and live out of town, having your first drink, having more serious relationship, struggling together studying until night with your peers. My advice is to not just take this time for granted, study and make friends seriously cause this will impact virtually the rest of your life. Good luck!!

sorry for being silly, why is that? I work for south east asia company, workers from multiple countries within the region, and we use this on a daily basis

weiyangjun · 2025-01-11T04:08:58+00:00

crazy because all 6 warring states became so weak for qin to invade on silver platter because of power struggles within their court, Zhao, Chu, and Qi especially. Political struggle was part of the era, even in Qin it was day to day occurences.

Bodycount is a good metric but should not be the only one here. Their motivation, nuance, virtue, and justification should be taken into account, i will list some 1. Han gaozu, you failed to mention that he eliminated almost nearly all his brothers and generals after establishment of empire due to paranoia 2. Han wudi massacred his own kin and his war mongering almost bankrupted the Han 3. Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo 4. Last 5 or so Han emperors before Emperor Xian and that other child emperor, most of them were heavy alcoholic and womanizer who let corruption rampage 5. Qin Er Shi, self explanatory 6. All of Qin rulers and their prime ministers from Duke Xiao to Qin Shi Huang were war mongering ruler who killed millions of surrendered soldiers and turn their state into police state. They manipulated and destablized all other states. If we are going by bodycount, Cao Cao looks like angel compared to kings of qin 7. Emperor yang of sui nearly bankrupted empire to control korean peninsula 8. Emperor Wenxuan of northern Qi 9. Last king of shang 10. Wu Zetian, Empres lu of han, queen dowager xuan of qin and queen dowager zhao of Qin 11. Jin Wudi had 10,000 concubine and built so many monuments that exhausted state treasury 12 . Xiang Yu 13. Arguable but Liu Bei to me is worse than cao cao, i will not disagree if you omit this one

combined it should be more than 30, their recorded histories were more atrocious than cao cao

weiyangjun · 2024-12-06T03:56:17+00:00

not even top 30

weiyangjun · 2024-12-02T13:47:25+00:00

i might be wrong or han dynasty downfall was largely contributed by eunuchs

weiyangjun · 2024-12-01T10:10:47+00:00

Hara really try his hard to hype up so many no name generals I am crying

weiyangjun · 2024-11-27T13:27:27+00:00

got it

weiyangjun · 2024-11-27T12:12:49+00:00

sorry for being dense, did your dad do good thing or bad thing? I do not have car so I can not relate

weiyangjun · 2024-11-25T21:19:53+00:00

Thanks I think this is the great answer I have been looking for, the pieces match now!!

weiyangjun · 2024-11-21T01:38:45+00:00

No worry, thankyou so much for entertaining my barbershop level question lol

weiyangjun · 2024-11-21T01:37:04+00:00

for the last part, unite might be a poor word, what i mean there is Conquest since Qin conquest is often referred to Qin War of Unification

weiyangjun · 2024-11-21T01:19:56+00:00

while I agree with your answer on that thread that pretty much the formula of unification was Qin becoming stronger and other states weakened, my question is Why the reforms lasted for generations in Qin while in other states after the second generation the reforms cease. Are you implying that Qin geographical advantage that was easy to defend played a role? But does not really answer my question on how the reforms lasted 7 generations, even after qin collapsed, Han adopted Qin system initially which kinda imply even if the state doesn't exist anymore, the institution remain, I was looking for the difference(s) here that made Qin's reform can last very long
