This "source"

Hanyu Da Cidian, 3rd ed., Hong Kong: Commercial Press, 2007, ISBN 978-962-07-0277-8. (in Chinese)

seems aside the point and was entirely unused by the article, so I've left it here. Kindly restore it to the bibliography once it's being used to verify parts of the article with inline citations.

Presumably, Prusek and whoever wrote the article in Chinese Culture have more, even though Google only allows snippets of their text. — LlywelynII 20:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Date of conquest by Zhao[edit]

Xiong has 476 BC and Baidu and Baike.com have 475 BC, which may represent newer and better research but the large majority of English sources seem to place it in 457. There aren't very good sources or dates in the rulers' list at Zhao's article, but they seem to place Xiang closer to the 450s than 470s as well. — LlywelynII 14:33, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
