<< review queue entry 29833 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> This entry had me confused until I did some googling. I think it's an example of how not using capital letters for proper nouns can lead to confusion. Without capital letters "former dynasty" could refer to any dynasty in the past. Alternatively, "Western Han or former dynasty" could indicate <the Western Han Dynasty or a dynasty prior to the Western Han>. Of course, it's not a problem if you know your history, but I don't think we should assume that. Wp: "The period between the foundation of the Han Dynasty and Wang Mang's reign is known as the Western Han Dynasty (simplified Chinese: 西汉; traditional Chinese: 西漢; pinyin: Xī Hàn) or Former Han Dynasty (simplified Chinese: 前汉; traditional Chinese: 前漢; pinyin: Qiánhàn) (202 BCE – 9 CE). During this period the capital was at Chang'an (modern Xi'an). " This is what I was reading when I saw our def for 西汉: 匈奴军中的三个兵士不愿再战，遂逃奔汉朝，向西汉政府报 告了匈奴人的阴谋。 |
