Concerned editors please note. When I created this article I wrote it in American English even though I am British. Since the topic had no strong ties to any English variant (see WP:ENGVAR) there is no reason to change the spellings to follow British conventions. ► Philg88 ◄  talk 22:02, 18 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, that's why I did the revert. Montanabw(talk) 23:04, 18 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

For article improvement: Chariot weight?

edit

I think some figures on the weight of the chariots would be useful, unfortunately haven't yet found any real quantitative figures in this regard; however, the construction seems to have emphasized lightness of weight, and thus quickness of speed. Dcattell (talk) 05:22, 27 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Origin

edit

Fwiw, it's fine that we have three sources crediting them to Xi Zhong. It's worth noting though that there are other accounts of China's legendary prehistory that credit their invention to Xuanyuan, a culture hero who later seems to have gotten conflated with the Yellow Emperor. — LlywelynII 03:48, 18 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
