With its scope of millennia, Chinese history enables us to see broad trends that develop over centuries. I would say that in general, humanity is getting more humane, although it goes without saying that we still have a long way to go.
Today’s story takes us back to around 408 bce, about 24 centuries ago, when the ruler Wen of Wei sent Yue Yang to conquer a rival power, Chungshan / Zhongshan. Yue won the battle without engaging the enemy’s army, but at a terrible price.

Chinese is probably the best language for puns. Today’s Chinese podcast involves wordplay that is untranslatable. E B White said, “Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.” Rather than befuddle you with explanations of the wordplay, today we are talking about the Siege of Weinsberg on December 21, 1140.
