[edit] Zhou: province vs. region

i'm at a loss whether zhou should be translated as "province" or "region". Personally i prefer the latter as it is easily distinguishable from the modern provinces. However i do not know if the convention or common practice had always been "province". Please advise? --Plastictv 05:42, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

... Um, I have no idea actually. Do you know what the prevalent convention is in Sinologist literature? -- ran (talk) 00:01, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

Exactly my question. --Plastictv 02:42, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ROC claim to HK/MO

This article, like the government in Taiwan, completely ignores any Republic of China claim to Hong Kong and Macau. It is a difficult thing to source and make sense of if anyone wants to try. SchmuckyTheCat 23:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent small expansion

I just added :

  • one carte for Sui divisions (Image:China, 610.svg) - according to the Cambridge history of China vol.3
  • one carte for Tang divisions (Image:China, 742.svg) - according to the Cambridge history of China vol.3
  • I also expanded the section Sui dynasty, since we now have a map for this time.

NB: the section SUI dynasty is to complete. Especially the table, to :

  1. localize the Sui zhou compare to current (2008) province. This is vissible when you enlarge the map.
  2. find the capitals of the Sui's Zhou... I have a scan in Chinese that I can't read, send me your email, I send you the scan. Yug (talk) 17:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
