Iran culture is inspiring to me. Literature, art, architecture, Persian carpet, and most importantly, language legacies, philosophy and history.

I made a comparison of Iran and China. Let me know anyone is interested.

Great comparison.
However, Iranians would argue that our modern period started after the Persian constitutional revolution in 1905, during the late period of the Qajar dynasty.
And the modernism movement in Iran started in late 19th century where Iranian students who had gone to Europe returned to Iran and the kings of Qajar started importing European technology to Iran.

With USA getting crazier by daily basis, China and Iran need to cooperate more to counter that monster!

Same thing applies to China Qing dynasty. When the youngsters come back from overseas, they requires reform.

The Qing dynasty did some reform, but blocked by conservatives. Military reform failed, navy was defeated by japan in 1894.
It's sad story.
