Picture caption

The caption for the picture is quite long (longer than the article itself--and it is still in smaller font!). Maybe it is worth moving the caption to the article's main text.

Problems Encountered

In the Problems Encountered section of this article, it talks about Li Beng. I wonder if this should be Li Bing or if it is someone else.

Was the irrigation system itself damaged? 204.52.215.107 (talk) 16:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further Problems Encountered

In the following paragraph，should "Bi Ling" "Li Bing"?

Two Kings Temple Erwang or Two Kings Temple is located on the bank of the river at the foot of Mount Yulei. The original Wangdi Temple built in memory of an ancient Shu king was relocated and so locals renamed the temple here in honour of Bi Ling and his legendary son whom they had posthumously promoted to kings.[21] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.177.26.16 (talk) 16:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bing Li is correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.150.171.114 (talk) 05:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Statue of Bing Li, Oldest Human Statue of Ancient China?

Someone please check citations 31 and 32. I simply cannot believe that the statue of Bing Li is the earliest extant human statue of ancient China (the terracotta warrior of the Emperor Chin's tomb being at least one obvious contradiction). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.141.214.183 (talk) 06:49, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In Chronicle of the Chinese Emperors (2009), ISBN 0-500-28764-3, Ann Paludan (on p. 47) writes "The earliest stone figure of a named individual in China, this statue of the great 3rdcentury BC engineer, Li Bing, made in 168 AD and found in 1974..." (my underscores).

General

This page is based largely on two sources, "Taming the Floodwaters", which cites sources and seems reliable, and a tourist website, which seems....less reliable. It would be better if we more sources. 82.3.45.146 (talk) 09:31, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fan Changsheng

Under Dragon-Taming Temple it is claimed that Fan Changsheng was the founder of Tianshi Dao in the Jin Dynasty (265–420 AD) and that the temple was built in the third century AD in honour of Fan Changsheng, but neither the article on Fan Changsheng nor the article on Tianshi Dao support this. The latter page says Tianshi Dao was founded in year 142 AD by Zhang Daoling, i.e. 123 before the Jin Dynasty and 176 years before the death of Fan Changsheng (318 AD), and doesn't even mention Fan Changsheng (who, by the way, had at least 19 years left to live after the themple was built).

erwang temple translation

I think Erwang Temple be translated as "Second King" Temple instead of "Two Kings" Temple. In terms of grammar, if it were to be "two kings", then the name would (probably) be "两王" or "双王". I know that Li Bing and Li Erlang were inshrined there and that the Two Kings would make sense in that context, but now that the temple is more associated with Li Erlang, maybe the temple name would shift meaning.
