Copyfree

[edit]

As soon as the article was created, a bot marked it as probably copywrited material. It was tagged because some other website copied wikipedia's content. The beginning of the table has been taken out of the article Timeline of Chinese history saving me time, and as such I believe it has no copywrite issues. Just good old non-copywrited content for the folks to learn some more. H15 H16N355 |K1N6 M3 (T47K) 11:46, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When you copy within Wikipedia in the future, please refer to the original article in your edit summary or add a {{Copied}} tag as I have above. Otherwise, you are not properly attributing the contributors to the original article. Thanks! — madman 04:45, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Missing myths

[edit]

Many important myths myths are missing from the table, such as:

  • Kua Fu (I believe he's just after Pangu);
  • Goddess Nuwa (just before and/or at the same time with Fuxi as they were lover-brothers);
  • Gong Gong vs. Zhu Rong (I don't know wether it's after Pangu/Kua Fu or after - questions abound, such as "Is there one or two floods in the mythology?" It's not yet clear to me as the myths seem to be a bit in a roundabout - an early flood in Nuwa's time which she solves and another which makes the Gun-Yu's Flood myth, solved by Yu);
  • Hou Yi, the Great Heavenly Archer (might be in Yu's time);
  • The Eight Immortals (late myths);
  • many others.
