[edit] Year?
The inscription of the stone marks it was made in Qing dynasty. Is the inscription really the one made in Song dynasty? — HenryLi (Talk) 11:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Zhao Bing's Death
This article says that "Zhao Bing committed suicide", but the Song Dynasty article says that an imperial courtier jumped over a cliff with him in his arms. This would suggest that the boy king had little choice in the matter. Which is correct? Rodparkes 06:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- A quote from Outlines of Chinese History by Li Ung Bing from 1914 who follows closely the traditional accounts (names in Wade-Giles):
- After the death of Tuan Tsung, which took place on an island on the Kuangtung coast, the Chinese hope centered in his brother, Ti Ping. Him, the Chinese placed on the throne, although what had remained of their empire was now but a small island called Ai Shan. In less than a year, this island was blockaded by a Mongol fleet. With all means of supply and communication cut off, Lu Hsiu-fu, the commanding Chinese general, took his master upon his shoulders, and jumped into the sea, thus burying the Chinese cause with its last representative in a watery grave.
