Yantai stamp

This image here seems to deal with Yantai. I also noticed that its chinese characters for the city had "Yan" in seemingly a simplified character with "Tai" in traditional, although it was before Simplified characters even existed. Could anyone explain this? Thanks. Mar de Sin ^{Speak up!} 20:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your link's dead but Chinese characters aren't actually a single thing passed down from Tian-on-High to the Yellow Emperor to the present. There are numerous variants for most characters even within the standard set, before getting to Chu, big seal, small seal, Shang, etc. —

was being used to verify a fact that we already had an English-language source for, so I'm removing it to here. Interested editors, though, can look through it to see if it has any other information that's not in the article already. Ideally, Chinese-language cites should also include the pinyin and translation for their titles, but I know the formatting's a bit of a pain. — $Llywelyn II$ 00:14, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
