Merger from Legends of the Sui Dynasty

I think that you're right in that merger might be a good idea, but at the time of the merger, most of the contents of Legends of the Sui Dynasty should be removed as simply fantastical and unsupported. Some of it can stay. --Nlu 04:42, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

why redirect Suishu to Sui dynasty

why redirect Suishu to Sui dynasty? Suishu is one of the books of the Twenty-Four Histories, therefore shouldn't it have an article of its own (just as the other books)? Guss2 13:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suishu redirects to Book of Sui. 218.49.116.218 21:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sogdiana

The visits of Sogdians should be mentioned. Badagnani (talk) 04:22, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

preceeded/followed by

The sentence "preceeded by Tang Dynasty..." should instead be "followed by" according to the dates given. Right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sawatzky (talk • contribs) 21:25, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

good morning sui dynasty

the sui dynasty didnt last long —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.71.58 (talk) 02:00, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Daoism

This article does not seem to address the subject of Daoism during this dynasty. Sui Yangdi implemented both Daoism and buddhisn as official religions of his empire. Anyone else agree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.119.152 (talk) 04:04, 10 November 2010 (UTC) i love amy schaffer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.85.231.108 (talk) 02:42, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Sui Dynasty circa 610.jpg Deleted

An image used in this article, File:Sui Dynasty circa 610.jpg, has been deleted from Wikimedia Commons by Jcb for the following reason: Per commons:Commons:Deletion requests/maps in History and Commercial Atlas of China

What should I do?

You can remove the code for this image from the article text (which can look messy), however a different bot may already have done so. You could also try to search for new images to replace the one deleted. If you think the deletion was in error please raise the issue at Commons.

Equal-field System

This sentence could use some work: Emperors Wen and Yang undertook various reforms including the Equal-field system, which was initiated to reduce the rich-poor social gap that resulted in enhanced agricultural productivity, centralization of government power. In particular, what was it that "resulted in enhanced agricultural productivity"? Was it the Equal-Field system or the rich-poor social gap? It sounds like the sentence is trying to say that the Equal Field system led to enhanced agricultural productivity, but the way the sentence is worded, it's actually saying the rich-poor social gap gets the credit. I propose a new wording: Emperors Wen and Yang undertook various reforms including the Equal-field system, which was initiated to reduce the rich-poor social gap. This resulted in enhanced agricultural productivity and centralization of government power. —MiguelMunoz (talk) 04:56, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Vandalism?

In the "Emperor Wen and the founding of the Sui Dynasty" section, the last sentence is awkward:

"... much like the earlier Han Dynasty.hi" (As of December 17 2012)

Furthermore, the section of "Fall" has an awkward part as well:

"Emperor Yang was assassinated in 618. I had gone South after being defeated by Korea and was killed by his advisors." (As of December 17 2012)

Move request to decapitalize all Chinese dynasty articles

There's a move request to decapitalize "dynasty" in the Chinese dynasty articles, as in Han Dynasty → Han dynasty. For more information and to give your input, see [1]. --Cold Season (talk) 17:59, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

618 or 619?

Why does this article say the Sui Dynasty ended in 618, whereas the Chinese Wikipedia says 619? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 18:55, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because zh-wikipedia's timeline includes Wang shichong took place his trojan (political vase). Some history articles and books don't support it is the end of Sui empire. --波斯波莉斯 (talk) 04:33, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sui's political system

I find that Sui's political system is "五省六曹" in some Chinese history books. It is a predecessor for Tang's Three departments and six ministries (三省六部). Using the latter is not accurate for history. But I am not sure its English name. --波斯波莉斯 (talk) 01:56, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This source seems to call it "five departments and six boards". So does this source (though it calls the "boards" 部 rather than 曹). On that basis I think "boards" looks like the translation to use, unless anyone finds a different translation in other sources. —Granger (talk · contribs) 18:20, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Qing dynasty which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 16:11, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source 24 dubious?

Source 24 is cited as "Benn, 2" without any further basis. Either a new source with similar perceived info needs to be put in the place of it or remove the source entirely. DamienSullins (talk) 17:54, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
