@EnopoletusHarding would you prefer classical? I guess technically it might be better if you are specifically a historian of ancient Chinese history, not in almost any other context
@TheAllMemeingEye "would you prefer classical?"
No, just because much new stuff isn't produced in it. That being said, it's pretty funny nobody voted for classical.
Classical only stopped being used in the 1920s, so it would also be useful for a historian of medieval and early modern Chinese history.
