Several comments

Why is this "China, history" rather than "History of China". Is there a policy for such names?

I object strongly to the title "pre-imperial period (to 221 BCE)". The Xia dynasty is debatable, possibly only a legend. However the Shang and Zhou Dynasties are historically attested. It strikes me as absurd to call them "pre-imperial". "Pre-unification", perhaps.

The Liangzhu culture around Lake Tai probably deserves mention, a fairly developed culture contemporary with the Shang but South of them. Sandy Harris 01:44, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
