[edit]This eventually needs to be cleaned up. There were a lot more regional capitals than Datong and Chengdu, but they were never the capitals of dynasties eventually considered to be 'China' (i.e. one of the dynasties with official universal histories). Similarly, there was never a "Hao Xi'an" or "Ye Anyang": the map should simply present the present-day names and explain the laundry list of alternative names in the running text. (e.g. Hao had a sister city and "Chang'an" is a far more famous historic name for the area.) — LlywelynII 16:31, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
