Xi'an Muslim QUarter

1st Choice

There is no entry describing Xi'an Muslim Quarter on Wiki, but this is a very special mixed-race urban condition in China and possesses an unique cultural heritage.

Most importantly, I have lived in this region for over 10 years, so I have plenty of first-hand materials for the description.

Source: https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%9B%9E%E6%B0%91%E8%A1%97/9853770?fromtitle=%E8%A5%BF%E5%AE%89%E5%9B%9E%E6%B0%91%E8%A1%97&fromid=2125969

This source on Baidu contains too much content on the food and current condition, nearly nothing about the history and culture.

I can focus on the historical evolution of the districts and current preservation of the cultural heritage here.

Yao Dong

2nd Choice

This is an architectural typology in Shaanxi Province. Usually it is a vernacular house which is made through carving into the earth and resembles a cave.

The Wiki entry already exists, source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaodong

However, the problem is that this description does not focuses enough on the thermodynamic reason which results in the architectural form. In addition, the explanation of different plan variation is not enough at all.

Wuxia

3rd choice

Wuxia is a Chinese literature form, of which the story line is based on and pushed by Chinese martial arts and history. This literature form became prevalent after 1900s. Also, several prestigious Wuxia writer appeared from the 1950s and produced plenty of high quality Wuxia novels.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxia

The source right now is redirected to "Wushu", which is Martial arts, and it is completely wrong.

#1 sounds like a promising topic, but what would your sources be??

edit

Hi Kun, I need to see some reliable sources from which you will retrieve your information before I can approve the topic... Thanks, Eric — Preceding unsigned comment added by WritingMan (talkcontribs) 21:32, 4 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
