Talk:Rong people

Xirong

Xirong = Hsi-Jung (Wade-Giles) 西戎

On wiki, when you click Xirong, you will see Xionites page...I think, they are different! (or Xionites were part of Xirong people) Böri (talk) 14:54, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Xirong (tribe)

Both articles refer to the same people and I believe that Xirong is a more commonly used term than Rong on it's own; naturally this article should stay as a redirect. Philg88 (talk) 10:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

No explanation given for the deletion of these changes, why? Chinese: 戎 does mean "hostile foreigners", plain Mandarin.
