Merge

[edit]

This should not be merged wit Xia, as they are two different topics. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 03:57, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The years are hard to read

[edit]

The years in this page are in the range of mere tens, yet there is only a single mention of the designation of the year (AD). The designation should be mentioned every time to avoid confusion with Chinese reign years. I will add these later tonight, and if the community says otherwise the changes can be reverted. —Aɴᴀɴᴛᴀɢɪᴛᴀ / 10:26, 17 April 2018 (UTC) —Aɴᴀɴᴛᴀɢɪᴛᴀ / 10:26, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox picture

[edit]

There's been some back-and-forth regarding which of the below pictures (if either) to use in the infobox for this article. I much prefer the former, which (while not precisely brilliant artwork, nor discernibly historically accurate) at least better resembles Han-era regalia than the picture on the right.

Yeah, neither of these images is super incredible artwork. The first image is era-appropriate, and published in some book from 1921. The second picture is uploaded as "own work", which means it's either useless or a lie, and it looks like a screencap from a 1980s cartoon show, and it's not historically accurate to within a millennium. Might as well dress him in a three piece suit, or judge robes and powdered wig. The second image is worse than no image at all. Folly Mox (talk) 03:24, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to restore the first image as long as no one has strong opinions to the contrary. Agreed completely as to the Qing-era image. Marquisate (talk) 00:12, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
