This article says "as a Chinese official in the Northern Zhou dynasty"...however, Wendi was from a noble family of mixed descent, and his wife was Xiongnu (see J.M Roberts, "A Concise History of the World", pg 223; J.A.G. Roberts, "A Concise History of China", pg 47; Fairbank, "China--A New History", pg 77).
This article says that Wendi created the "Da Ming Lu", but that was the name of the great Ming dynasty code promulgated almost a thousand years later. Wendi's code was called the Kai Huang Lu (See Head & Wang, "Law Codes in Dynastic China", pg. 114).
I'm not precisely sure of the etiquette here, but I will make these changes to the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.239.50 (talk • contribs)
- Being of mixed descent (Han and non-Han) does not make him non-Chinese -- in the grander scheme of things, since these ancient peoples have merged into "Chinese." Further, Empress Dugu was in all likelihood Xianbei, not Xiongnu. --Nlu (talk) 07:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
