Regarding this edit, Heqin is not specifically a Mandarin term. There was no Mandarin language during the Han dynasty. — Instantnood 07:50, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] English word for this

I am pretty sure this concept is not exclusively Chinese. I am pretty certain there were marriages between European royal families in the past that were arranged to install trust and peace between nations, albeit it doesn't always work. --Voidvector 02:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
