Talk:Samhan

CHaracter 韓 meaning great??? it means just Korea! and in older times in China this character had meaning of some device to make stuff with water! look at definition at zhongwen com

Note that the first character in "英國" has a meaning that has something to do with flowers and being distinguished. However, "England" does not mean "land of flowers" or "land of distinction" in English. I guess Britishers should just be glad that the Chinese did not choose to transliterate England using the "ying" that means "zero" so that we'd end up with "ying guo" meaning "land of zero" or "land of nothing"!

The explanation given in this article for the etymology of "han" suggests that "Han" is related to the word "Khan" (Qaan in Mongolian language). It might not be the right explanation, but it assumes (perhaps erroneously) that the word "han" which later came to mean and designate "Korea" was not originally of Chinese origin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metonyme (talk • contribs) 10:27, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dates for Samhan?[edit]

This article gives no dates for Samhan's foundation, it's leaders, or its decline. How can anyone get an idea of what years the Samhan existed without actual dates (or at the very least, circa, like circa 100BC.?) Thomas Lessman 20:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yamatai in Kyūshū?[edit]

The location of Yamatai is not exactly clear, Kyūshū is just one theory, the other one locating Yamatai (Yama'ichi) in Kinai (Honshū). 24 April 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.147.73.55 (talk) 18:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In English-language books and articles, the time period, as well as the three confederacies, are most often referred to as "Samhan." This follows written Korean (and perhaps Chinese)conventions, which differ from English. If the article referred to the confederacies as the "Three Han," I would agree that the term should be separated. However, for now, the article follows current trends in academic materials.

Three delicious Hams(??)[edit]

Genuine Lack of Sources[edit]

This entire article is based on a single Chinese source? The foundations of this great country need to be a precise as possible. We cannot allow a lackluster approach to presentation of Korea's origins. How can we know if areas of occupation are disputed if we do not know by whom they are disputed?

First and second hand accounts are required to inform the reader of production capabilities in the villages. Sources referenced in the bottom should be added to the notes section providing a link to an abstract on a database such as EBSCOHost. In the legacy section, we are unclear as to which historians are being discussed.
