Template talk:Zhou dynasty topics

Bad name change
I'm not sure about the name change to "Eastern Zhou Topics". Many of these States existed during the Western Zhou Dynasty (i.e. before the start of the Spring and Autumn Period in 771 BCE). That means the problem lies in the column headings - maybe it should be split into "Western Zhou" and "Eastern Zhou" with the second subdivided into "Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States".

 * If this navbox is about the entire Zhou Dynasty, then it should include topics related to the Western Zhou dynasty but not the eastern. BTW, it seems to be talking about the states not topics, so perhaps even the new title is not good enough. Someone's got to expand this navbox to completely cover the Zhou Dynasty.

 * I changed the title to "Zhou Dynasty" because that would include both Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Hanfresco (talk) 23:17, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I changed the title to "Zhou Dynasty" (again: so knock it off whoever keeps misnaming the thing) because that includes both Western and Eastern Zhou, even though it shouldn't cover the Warring States period.


 * Actually, since the list already includes Western Zhou states, there is no separate Western Zhou template, and people want to include the Warring States here, let's just make the template cover all historical ancient Chinese states. — Llywelyn II   16:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

State of Tan
This is a legitimate sate for inclusion in this template but has been removed and should be retained. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.12.252.111 (talk) 03:27, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * If you are talking about Tan (Shandong), then it has already been included in the Spring and Autumn section of this template. Tan finished in 684 BC and did not exist during the Warring States Period. Therefore I removed it from the Warring States section of this template. --Pengyanan (talk) 08:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You're right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.12.252.111 (talk) 03:41, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
