 * "Soldiers along China's frontiers were also encouraged by the state to settle down on their own farm lots in order for the food supply of the military to become self-sufficient. Farmers were also encouraged to join peasant militias to act as supporting units to the official standing army." - encouraged by whom, which dynasty or period????


 * Failed. No significant changes made to the article as per Review.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 12:20, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Meaning of wǔ
"...the gentry scholars' embracing of intellectual cultivation (wen) and detest for violence (wu)."

Is this saying that this was a time when wén was embraced over wǔ, or that wǔ is itself detestation of violence? If the former, it should be clarified. If the latter, I think that's incorrect, per this article.

Outcast or "untouchable"?
A good point to bring up. Hansson, Chinese Outcastes, the source in the footnote, says "such discriminated groups differ from from the Indian untouchables in not being part of a real caste system, they are often loosely termed outcasts or pariahs." (p 10) That is, they are not "untouchables" even though MDGB says the term 賤民 can be used to translate the English "untouchable" it does not follow that it can be translated the other way around. I agree with that "mean" is not satisfactory, but "mean" or "outcaste" are the more commonly accepted English translations.ch (talk) 20:10, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
