Dali, Song Dynasty???
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/69/China_-_Song_Dynasty-en.svg/220px-China_-_Song_Dynasty-en.svg.png)
All the sources I've used in this article claim that several types of Open-work charms debuted in "Dali, Yunnan during the Song Dynasty" however the province of Yunnan was created under the Mongols as a non-Chinese province and prior to this it was the independent Dali Kingdom, as it would be original research to change this I haven't done so. It is also not uncommon for neighbouring countries and tribes to adopt Chinese culture so I wouldn't call it unrealistic for the Dali Kingdom to adopt this aspect of Chinese culture and make it their own, additional research is needed but if someone would have a book about the history of these Open-work charms in Dali that would be greatly appreciated. --Donald Trung (talk) 11:33, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Sinocentric
[edit]This article is pretty centered around the Chinese open-work charms and their symbolism, I simply am unable to find much information about the Korean variants or the Japanese E-sen, if I had access to this information I would've added more about the non-Chinese Open-work charms. --Donald Trung (talk) 17:08, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
