Talk:Open-work charm

Dali, Song Dynasty???

I don't see a "Dali, Song Dynasty" anywhere here.

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

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)
