Talk:Eighteen Kingdoms

Latest comment: 1 year ago by NeoChrono Ryu in topic English-language sources?

Wikipedia isn't good for Chinese subjects...I've been trying to research this period. Do any regular checkers on this area (if there are any) know of the location of a decent map for this time?

I've just made one and added it. But it is based primarily on the broad present-day borders description mentioned here, and a further number of vague maps that don't give much details either, like historyofwar and imgur. I've also compared it to maps of the Warring States Period, with which it seems to have a lot of overlap (useful for collections of states such as the Three Qis). Nevertheless, my map has numerous errors; it doesn't even claim to be accurate. I just wanted to make a map to give readers an idea what they're reading about. As an aside, did "Zhai" even exist? In all other sources, this former Qin territory is called "Di". Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 05:25, 12 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

18 but it's actually 19?

Why is it called "The Eighteen Kingdoms" if there's actually nineteen of them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Like bowser (talkcontribs) 03:41, 7 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

English-language sources?

edit

There aren't many English-language sources about these kingdoms. Does Wikipedia have a policy against using Chinese-language sources? If not, then we could built out this page more. NeoChrono Ryu (talk) 05:02, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
