Rift of the Sky ☁ Loving Like This MV
Haven't watched wuxia series in awhile. I thought this series was decent, it started off kind of slow and it started to pick up later on. I have high standards so you might enjoy this, who knows.. We all have different preferences, it's still worth a shot.
There was so much computer effect put into this drama! You probably wouldn't be able to go two minutes without seeing an effect. And the items they used in this series were so modern! Lol, they had magically ipads, cell phones, movies and video messages (If you have watched this you would understand what I'm talking about).
Between the two girls in this video, the main male (Yuwen Tuo / Hu Ge) obviously choose who he wanted to be with in the end of the series but it's debatable! I feel like I have an argument for why he loved Xiao Xue (Fairy-like girl) and another for why he loved NingKe (Devil-like girl). I honestly was fine with whoever he chose because I liked them both. For those who haven't watched this series yet, based on what you see in this video who do you think he loves more? Keep in mind that my videos can be very deceiving.
I want to start a new channel where I review dramas but it'll be hard to do it on my own so if anyone is interested in starting a channel with me, inbox me! This channel will require commitment and genuine interest. All you'd need is a computer, a camera and a editing program. + Of course, you would need to watch dramas often (:

Baedal (Shinshi) Kingdom
Baedal Kingdom
---------------------------
Baedal, Baedal-guk, Shinshi, or Guri is a semi-legendary ancient Korean nation that preceded the Go Joseon kingdom in Hwandangogi. Shinshi literally means The City of Spirits where people live together in a protected area or The Fair of Spirit where people come together & exchange their goods. Most Koreans reject the idea that this kingdom was real due to a variety of reasons such as a lack of evidence. As a result, this kingdom is considered to be just a myth.
The founding of Baedal State is described in different ways according to records. Hwandan Gogi says that the state had been founded at the area of Baekdu Mountain & the Amur River. The capital city was called Shinshi. The legend says that Hwanin gave three presents of Cheonbuin to Hwanung, & three thousand people descended from heaven with Hwanwoong to the area of birch trees. Baedal state was also known as Guri, & its borders were said to have reached the Shandong Peninsula. The greatest of the state's Emperors was Jaoji Hwanung, known better as Emperor Chiu (Chiyu, Chiwoo, or Chiwu), who was described as a brilliant military leader & strategist. It was during the time of Emperor Chiu that the empire reached its greatest extent. The Shinshi state most likely disintegrated due to internal struggles, & probably fell to neighboring forces.
Baedal state was succeeded by Gojoseon. Some assume that another major legacy of Baedal is the Goguryeo kingdom. As mentioned earlier, Baedal was also called Guri, and the word Goguryeo can be broken down into Go-Guri, meaning Go (old), Guri. Thus, Goguryeo can be interpreted as the old Guri nation or Guryeo state governed by the royal family of Go. It is written in Samguk Sagi that Goguryeo recovered most of the territories previously lost to it.
As Chiwoo became emperor, the nation of Shennong was ruled by Yoomang, who was a descendant of Shennong. At that time, the state of Shennong had started gaining in power due to demographic expansion, which lead Chiwoo to declare war upon the Shennong in order to limit their influence. The emperor Chiwoo built up an army in Tangnok, & defeated the troops of Yoomang at Kuhon. Chiwoo started conquering the land of Shennong, but soon had to repel several attacks by Emperor Huangdi Xuanyuan. It is said that Chiwoo & Huangdi engaged in more than 70 wars across ten years.
Like other empires in history, the Shinshi state fell. The steady decay of the archaic empire began after its golden age under its 14th ruler, Jaoji Hwanung of Baedal. Not much is known about how the empire fell or what the cause was, but some Korean historians have inferred that corruption & border conflicts with neighboring tribes caused the fall. Emperor Geobuldan, the 18th & final ruler of the Shinshi state, ruled for 48 years while a majority of his predecessors were recorded to have ruled for at least fifty years. Historians have also inferred that the last emperor of Shinshi state was a weak puppet monarch, much like other final rulers of kingdoms. Shinshi state is thought to have followed the same cycle of rise, height, and fall. The last emperor to rule over Shinshi state in its time of glory was Emperor Chukdali, the 16th ruler of Shinshi state.
In historical documents, there are possible refferences to Baedal. According to the Samguk Yusa, Hwanung, with a group of 3,000 followers came down to the a sacred tree on Baekdu Mountain, & Hwanung ruled the people of Earth in 360 different matters. He named the place Shinshi, meaning the City of Spirits. The Gyuwon Sahwa claims that Shinshi was a person. He was the ruler of a state preceding Gojoseon. He taught the manners, culture & civilization. He also ordered the people to engage in farming & exchange their goods. It is said he was preceded by Chiwoo & Goshi in turn, for a period of about 11,000 years, before Dangun Wanggeom founded Gojoseon. Also, in the Hwandan Gogi, Shinshi state (BC 3898 - BC 2333) was established by the Hwanung Geobalhwan, & reached its zenith during the reign of Hwanung Chiwoo.

SUMMARY
=======
Beijing (, nonstandard ;
Mandarin pronunciation: [pèi.tɕíŋ] (listen)), formerly romanized as Peking, is the capital of the People's Republic of China, the world's third most populous city proper, and most populous capital city. The city, located in northern China, is governed as a municipality under the direct administration of central government with 16 urban, suburban, and rural districts. Beijing Municipality is surrounded by Hebei Province with the exception of neighboring Tianjin Municipality to the southeast; together the three divisions form the Jingjinji metropolitan region and the national capital region of China.Beijing is an important world capital and global power city, and one of the world's leading centers for politics, economy and business, finance, education, culture, innovation and technology, architecture, language, and diplomacy. A megacity, Beijing is the second largest Chinese city by urban population after Shanghai and is the nation's political, cultural, and educational center. It is home to the headquarters of most of China's largest state-owned companies and houses the largest number of Fortune Global 500 companies in the world, as well as the world's four biggest financial institutions. It is also a major hub for the national highway, expressway, railway, and high-speed rail networks. The Beijing Capital International Airport has been the second busiest in the world by passenger traffic since 2010, and, as of 2016, the city's subway network is the busiest and second longest in the world.
Combining both modern and traditional architecture, Beijing is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a rich history dating back three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the political center of the country for most of the past eight centuries, and was the largest city in the world by population for much of the second millennium A.D. Encyclopædia Britannica notes that few cities in the world have served for so long as the political headquarters and cultural center of an area as immense as China. With mountains surrounding the inland city on three sides, in addition to the old inner and outer city walls, Beijing was strategically poised and developed to be the residence of the emperor and thus was the perfect location for the imperial capital. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, parks, gardens, tombs, walls ...

SUMMARY
=======
Chinese mythology (中國神話 Mandarin Chinese: Zhōngguó shénhuà) is mythology that has been passed down in oral form or recorded in literature in the geographic area now known as China. Chinese mythology includes many varied myths from regional and cultural traditions. Chinese mythology is far from monolithic, not being an integrated system, even among just Han people. Chinese mythology is encountered in the traditions of various classes of people, geographic regions, historical periods including the present, and from various ethnic groups. China is the home of many mythological traditions, including that of Han Chinese and their Huaxia predecessors, as well as Tibetan mythology, Turkic mythology, Korean mythology, and many others. However, the study of Chinese mythology tends to focus upon material in Chinese language. Much of the mythology involves exciting stories full of fantastic people and beings, the use of magical powers, often taking place in an exotic mythological place or time. Like many mythologies, Chinese mythology has in the past been believed to be, at least in part, a factual recording of history. Along with Chinese folklore, Chinese mythology forms an important part of Chinese folk religion. Many stories regarding characters and events of the distant past have a double tradition: ones which present a more historicized or euhemerized version and ones which presents a more mythological version. Many myths involve the creation and cosmology of the universe and its deities and inhabitants. Some mythology involves creation myths, the origin of things, people and culture. Some involve the origin of the Chinese state. Some myths present a chronology of prehistoric times, many of these involve a culture hero who taught people how to build houses, or cook, or write, or was the ancestor of an ethnic group or dynastic family. Mythology is intimately related to ritual. Many myths are oral associations with ritual acts, such as dances, ceremonies, and sacrifices.

SUMMARY
=======
Chinese traditional religion is polytheistic; many deities are worshipped in a pantheistic view where divinity is inherent in the world. The gods are energies or principles revealing, imitating and propagating the way of Heaven (Tian 天), which is the supreme godhead manifesting in the northern culmen of the starry vault of the skies and its order. Many gods are ancestors or men who became deities for their heavenly achievements; most gods are also identified with stars and constellations. Ancestors are regarded as the equivalent of Heaven within human society, and therefore as the means connecting back to Heaven, which is the utmost ancestral father (曾祖父 zēngzǔfù).Gods are innumerable, as every phenomenon has or is one or more gods, and they are organised in a complex celestial hierarchy. Besides the traditional worship of these entities, Confucianism, Taoism and formal thinkers in general give theological interpretations affirming a monistic essence of divinity. Polytheism and monotheism are categories derived from Western religion and do not fit Chinese religion, which has never conceived the two things as opposites. Since all gods are considered manifestations of 氣 qì, the power or pneuma of Heaven, some scholars have employed the term polypneumatism or (poly)pneumatolatry, first coined by Walter Medhurst (1796–1857), to describe the practice of Chinese polytheism. In the theology of the classic texts and Confucianism, Heaven is the lord of the hundreds of deities. Modern Confucian theology compares them to intelligences, substantial forms or entelechies (inner purposes) as explained by Leibniz, generating all types of beings, so that even mountains and rivers are worshipped as something capable of enjoying sacrificial offerings.The deification of historical persons and ancestors is not traditionally the duty of Confucians or Taoists, but depends on the choices of common people; persons are deified when they have made extraordinary deeds and have left an efficacious legacy. Yet, Confucians and Taoists traditionally may demand that state honour be granted to a particular deity. Each deity has a cult centre and ancestral temple where he or she, or the parents, lived their mortal life. There are frequently disputes over which is the original place and source temple of the cult of a deity.

SUMMARY

Beijing (;Mandarin pronunciation: [pèi.tɕíŋ] (listen)), formerly romanized as Peking, is the capital of the People's Republic of China, the world's third most populous city proper, and most populous capital city. The city, located in northern China, is governed as a municipality under the direct administration of central government with 16 urban, suburban, and rural districts. Beijing Municipality is surrounded by Hebei Province with the exception of neighboring Tianjin Municipality to the southeast; together the three divisions form the Jingjinji metropolitan region and the national capital region of China.Beijing is an important world capital and global power city, and one of the world's leading centers for politics, economy and business, finance, education, culture, innovation and technology, architecture, language, and diplomacy. A megacity, Beijing is the second largest Chinese city by urban population after Shanghai and is the nation's political, cultural, and educational center. It is home to the headquarters of most of China's largest state-owned companies and houses the largest number of Fortune Global 500 companies in the world, as well as the world's four biggest financial institutions. It is also a major hub for the national highway, expressway, railway, and high-speed rail networks. The Beijing Capital International Airport has been the second busiest in the world by passenger traffic since 2010, and, as of 2016, the city's subway network is the busiest and second longest in the world.
Combining both modern and traditional architecture, Beijing is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a rich history dating back three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the political center of the country for most of the past eight centuries, and was the largest city in the world by population for much of the second millennium A.D. Encyclopædia Britannica notes that few cities in the world have served for so long as the political headquarters and cultural center of an area as immense as China. With mountains surrounding the inland city on three sides, in addition to the old inner and outer city walls, Beijing was strategically poised and developed to be the residence of the emperor and thus was the perfect location for the imperial capital. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, parks, gardens, tombs, walls and gates. It has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, Zhoukoudian, and parts of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal – all popular locatio ...

SUMMARY
=======
Chinese folk religion (Chinese popular religion) or Han folk religion is the religious tradition of the Han Chinese, including veneration of forces of nature and ancestors, exorcism of harmful forces, and a belief in the rational order of nature which can be influenced by human beings and their rulers as well as spirits and gods. Worship is devoted to a multiplicity of gods and immortals (神 shén), who can be deities of phenomena, of human behaviour, or progenitors of lineages. Stories regarding some of these gods are collected into the body of Chinese mythology. By the 11th century (Song period), these practices had been blended with Buddhist ideas of karma (one's own doing) and rebirth, and Taoist teachings about hierarchies of gods, to form the popular religious system which has lasted in many ways until the present day.Chinese religions have a variety of sources, local forms, founder backgrounds, and ritual and philosophical traditions. Despite this diversity, there is a common core that can be summarised as four theological, cosmological, and moral concepts: Tian (天), Heaven, the transcendent source of moral meaning; qi (氣), the breath or energy that animates the universe; jingzu (敬祖), the veneration of ancestors; and bao ying (報應), moral reciprocity; together with two traditional concepts of fate and meaning: ming yun (命運), the personal destiny or burgeoning; and yuan fen (緣分), fateful coincidence, good and bad chances and potential relationships.Yin and yang (陰陽) is the polarity that describes the order of the universe, held in balance by the interaction of principles of growth (shen) and principles of waning (gui), with yang (act) usually preferred over yin (receptiveness) in common religion. Ling (靈), numen or sacred, is the medium of the two states and the inchoate order of creation.Both the present day government of China and the imperial dynasties of the Ming and Qing tolerated village popular religious cults if they bolstered social stability but suppressed or persecuted those that they feared would undermine it. After the fall of the empire in 1911, governments and elites opposed or attempted to eradicate folk religion in order to promote modern values, and many condemned feudal superstition. These conceptions of folk religion began to change in Taiwan in the late 20th century and in mainland China in the 21st. Many scholars now view folk religion in a positive light. In recent times Chinese folk religions are experiencing a revival in both mainland China and Taiwan. Some forms have received official understanding or recognition as a preservation of traditional Chinese culture, such as Mazuism and the Sanyi teaching in Fujian, Huangdi worship, and other forms of local worship, for example the Longwang, Pangu or Caishen worship.
