[edit] naming issue
Hi,Yeu Ninje.for your chinese historic maps such as Image:Qin empire 210 BCE.png,I am a little confused about the difference between your chinese wikipedia version and englishi wikipedia version.for the shadow area,in the chinese wikipedia,you have refered it as urbanized area(城市化范围),while in the english wikipedia,you refered it as sinitic civilization(中国文明).Does it mean the sinitic civilization equals urbanized area?--Ksyrie 09:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, Ksyrie. For the purposes of the maps, I equated the extent for urbanisation with the extent of sinitic civilisation. On such a large scale as that used in the maps, there is correlation between urbanisation and sinitic civilisation. Where Chinese towns and cities existed (as recorded in the Standard Histories), they were also accompanied by Chinese culture and administrative structures. The political and social influence of these centres extended out to the villages and estates of surrounding areas, which were subject to at least some form of taxation. We can also suppose that since local administrators had the authority to independently raise troops, urban areas were also centres of Chinese military power. For these reasons, urbanisation is the best proxy for sinitic or Chinese civilisation in ancient times at least. Yeu Ninje 07:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Peer Review for Song Dynasty
Hello, I've recently put a lot of work into the Song Dynasty article, and I was wondering if you had the time to give a little peer review, providing suggestions, advice, opinions, etc. I'm shooting for featured article status, and it is very close in my opinion to reaching it.
