First, I am extremely impressed with the incredible artwork of the Chinese dating back thousands of years. Aside from the astonishing detailed artifacts, the fact that so much of their work was so well preserved on bamboo in the absence of paper is amazing. Also noteworthy in the video is how each of the dynasties began with good intentions yet the end of each dynasty was due to the leadership being morally depressed, corrupt, greedy or just incompetent really resonated with me. It reminded me of where the United States government (politicians) has been accused of the same things many, many times since the inception of our country. These are problems that have plagued too many countries throughout history. Finally, I would love to participate in the Dragon boat races some day which are celebrated around the world!
