Any ancient-medieval Chinese TLs?

Nope, as far as I recall. The closest I can think of was that one whimsical AHC about Alexander the Great going to Korea, which lightly touched on the Warring States period. It was interesting, though a bit vague.

Ex Oriente Lux: a legacy of Song China Industrialization by ZhugeLiang

Both focus on the Industrialization of the Song in some way.

The World of the Li River: A Neolithic China Timeline by Intransigent Southerner

Here aquaculture and maritime trade develops in the Yangtze during neolithic times, leading to cultures in the south of China that rival the Shang.

These timelines are all enjoyable reads, though they're only ones I remember that focus on ancient or medieval China.

I personally would love to see a Spring and Autumn or Warring States timeline. There's certainly alot of AH potential to explore between all these polities, cultures, persons and philosophies, whether you find China's unification to be inevitable or not.

I am planning for one. Still have tons of research to do though...
 
It's a real shame there are so few ancient China timelines, and that so many of the ones there are focus on dramatic changes rather than more local or smaller shifts.

I would consider one, but I think I'm woefully unequipped to do so.

*wants to see a China that remains divided*
 
I actually have the early workings of a Zhou Dynasty TL that I never did but am happy to continue at some point. (Im planning to take a break from my Viriathus TL so I might pick that back up again alongside my Srivijaya and Union TLs)

I'm also considering a TL based on Xiang Yu defeating Liu Bang and establishing a Chu Dynasty in place of the Han.

EDIT: Although if anyone could suggest any PODs that would be appreciated.

Apologies for sort-off hijacking the thread.
