The article states, "Full armour for cavalry appeared during the 4th century AD. During the Three Kingdoms Period (三国), fully armoured cavalry were extensively used for shock" The Three Kingdoms Period was from 220 to 280, therefore this doesn't make sense. I've deleted the first sentence.

Besides, the last paragraph talks about " Jia and Kai ". This is only moderately useful if the characters aren't given. I assume the characters are jiǎ 甲 and kǎi 鎧/铠 and will add this to the article. If I am mistaken, may somebody who knows more about the subject correct it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.69.197.25 (talk) 11:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move

Somebody moved this article from Chinese armour to Chinese Armor, [1] I've moved it back since it was originally armour, the user had no consensus to change and obviously the a shouldnt be capatalised either. McVities (talk) 10:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Decline of Chariot use in China during Warring Period due to crossbows?

Article speculates that chariot use declined during the Warring Period due to crossbows. However, chariot use for warfare also decline in the West at the same, yet crossbows were not involved. The Perian's unsuccessful use of chariots against Alexander the Great is the last time I have heard them being used in the West (not counting more backwards areas such as Brittain). In Alexander's case, crossbows were not a factor, but tactics were found that dealt with chariots, and development of similar tactics in the China might have just render chariots not cost effective. 66.51.147.97 (talk)DB —Preceding undated comment added 22:19, 23 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]
