Q: From Yao to Mao: 5000 years of Chinese history.. interested?
It's a video series done by The Teaching Company (and now bought out...), but of course is available on Tudou.
It's presented by an American professor from the New Mexico State University.
34 or so lectures of 30 mins each.
Would you bother to watch it? To get a better idea of what's happened in this country?
(interesting, I'm up to lecture 13, which brings us to about 900CE, and still no real mention of 2/3's of the 3T's!!!)
But, it has an ok over-view of the various dynasties and all.....
Certainly sounds interesting. I am now downloading the whole series from a torrent site.

I've been watching off Tudou - but there are some episodes missing.. which site did you find yours on??
tomcatflyer:
I just did a search for torrents and a few came up. The one I hit on was with the most seeders, only 14, and it looks as though it will be a couple of weeks to download.
i saw it last year and i have about 100 of the teaching companies videos, will try and set up another torrent of it if more interest, my schools computer downloads at 2ms.
another video is "origin of china" and a new bbc this year "the art of china"
ambivalentmace:
have the first 2 episodes but www.sharetv did not have any info on dates and show descriptions yet, must be new.
Shining_brow:
When I was first told about these, I was advised to search for "TTC L01" - and I got "The Joy of Science"... no great problem (cos it was one of the discussions he and I had anyway :p) But I couldn't find the rest of that series (of course, using English on a chinese website....)
I'd be interested to know what else you've got!
ambivalentmace:
i will check and get back to you, im not at the home computer on weekends, side work in another city on weekends, i know i have a bunch of ancient history, art, greek, latin, roman, and lots of religious ones, the math puzzles showing you how to gamble and do the rubics cube is a favorite in my english classes. since i send kids to canada, 'a peoples history of canada" is great if your a history buff.
found the video on pirate bay after searching with 'bit che', 36 video lessons, seed is .25, will load on my school computer and seed from office and 2 apartments, 3 seeds should speed it up for you.
