Help[Facts] Medieval Chinese Names
I wanna say I was looking through bookmarks of mines and found this Chinese Name webpage. It has Chinese Medieval Names. I am posting this because I was interested in it being on the webpage with the years names were used in. I also found another link I saw in the past that might help with this. This link and the other one might have surnames as well. https://www.peiraeuspubliclibrary.com/names/medievalnames/medievalchina.html Here's the other link. I don't know if there's an open access version. This is a JSTOR link. https://www.jstor.org/stable/40666560

You can download the paper here. The site looks like part of a legit university site, not just some illegal download site, so if they offer it for download for free I would say it's ok:

As to the "medievalchina.html" file: Nice find, but isn't that almost worthless for any serious purpose because it does not give the hanzi, i.e. the original writing, of the names, and neither the pronounciation through pinyin?

I'm not sure what pinyin is. This is the first time I may have heard the term hanzi.
