Quote from the page: "The military was also divided into twenty parts". I am wondering what it may refer to. Would it be 20 regiments, divisions or 20 military ranks and peerages? kt2 02:09, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- No idea. The character used was 等. Pratyeka 05:31, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Would you mind paste the corresponding text here so I would translate it? kt2 21:52, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- 等 seems to mean rank, grade or class .. so I think the 'military ranks' translation is accurate. I'll change the page. Pratyeka 23:58, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- True, my understanding of the history of this period leads me to better translate 等 as honours or peerages of achievement on battlefield.
