Summary Of Five Dynasties And Women In Ancient China

Wikipedia Review Article: Five Dynasties and Women in Ancient and Imperial China
The articles that I have chosen which is the Five Dynasties and Women in Ancient and Imperial China. These articles listed provides a respectable number of sources for readers to see and find if it’s credible in which the information can be credible or not. “Can I trust the information in this article?”, well that is something that comes up in the reader’s mind because with the Wikipedia article there are some parts of the article that allow people to edit what’s given in the article but that depends on whether the person who edits the article is either an actual that specialize in a field of study or some fraud who don’t really know what the historical context
That is a valid claim to make since there are non-scholarly sources that can lead readers to a website that is made by an amateur and don’t have any knowledge at all about the Five Dynasties. That misguides the readers because it does not give them actual proof on if the historical event happened or take place in that timeline. In terms of finding the what might be the right source, it can lead you to a website that’s in a language readers don’t understand and the readers will get irritated because they must translate it then see if it’s the right translation which can be irritating.

In this case, the article has a variation of fresh sources that come from professors and historians that write books. There is a problem to get to the source to see if it’s credible because once a person click the link a login for the university website which is a secondary source. This is an expert from the article that has the secondary source, “The fact that burials of both women and men of the Yangshao culture have grave goods, even though each had diverse types of items, was used to show that Marx's first great social division of labor had not occurred, thus the Yangshao culture is presumed to have been matrilineal” (Lee, 1993). It’s a nice part of the reading but the source leads to a university website that require people to login if they attend to that university. On the other hand, this expert has a source that’s hard to find, “While Shang dynasty women are thought
