The China History Podcast's video: Looks Good on Paper S6E06 The Chinese Sayings Podcast

This week's Chinese Saying is a well-worn one brought to us by none other than Sima Qian, the Grand Historian. Featured in this story are Lian Po, Zhao She, Zhao Kuo, Bai Qi and the whole Battle of Changping. This is the story of Zhǐshàng Tánbīng 紙上談兵, a useful chengyu for all kinds of occasions where the end result doesn't necessarily go according to the carefully crafted plan. ------------------------------------------------------------- To support the CSP and Teacup Media Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TeacupMedia Subscribe to CHP Premium: https://teacupmedia.supercast.com/ Donate at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ChinaHistoryPodcast Buy a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LaszloCHP ------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to The China History Podcast: https://www.podpage.com/the-china-history-podcast-1/ Subscribe to The Tea History Podcast: https://www.podpage.com/the-tea-history-podcast/ Subscribe to The Chinese Sayings Podcast: https://www.podpage.com/the-chinese-sayings-podcast/ ------------------------------------------------------------- For more CHP and Teacup Media content, visit the website: https://teacup.media ------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teacup.media Twitter: https://twitter.com/teacup_media TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teacupmedia?
