East Asian History Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Nanyue — The kingdom was founded in 204 BC by Zhao Tuo, but historical consensus dates the founding to 203 BC.

Nanyue — The claim that the Xiang region was incorporated later is vague and potentially misleading; the Xiang commandery was not part of Nanyue's core territory, and Zhao Tuo's control over it was contested and temporary.

Northern Wei — The dynasty is said to have ruled from 386 to 535 AD, but the Northern Wei is conventionally dated as ending in 534 AD, not 535.

Qi (state) — The entry states that Duke Huan of Qi was elected leader of an interstate conference and pronounced hegemon by King Hui of Zhou in 667 BCE, but the correct date for this recognition is 679 BCE.
