[edit] Rehabilitation

I added the cleanup tag in the hopes that it would be improved by someone who knows a little more about the subject. Why is the "rehab" paragraph after the "suicide" paragraph. It made me smile to think that rehabilitation would occur after death. Cadillac 02:08, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

In this context "rehabilitation" would indeed occur after death. The Tang Chinese placed great value on tombs and ancestors. So in this context rehabilitation means his posthumous image was rehabilitated and his family could again honor his memory officially. (Li Shihzi is not a Tang dynasty figure I know well, but I know of the Tang concept of posthumous rehabilitation.)--T. Anthony 03:42, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

I've just expanded this article. For what it is worth, I removed the assertion about rehabilitation since the sources I used do not provide support for it, factually. --Nlu (talk) 14:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
