		The western-eastern Han convention is used nowadays to avoid confusion with the Later Han Dynasty[?] of the Period of the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms though the earlier nomenclature was used in traditional historical texts like Si-ma Guang's Zi Zhi Tung Jian[?].

	The Emperor and the Assassin
		Emperor is yet another beautifully shot Chinese period piece, which also means that the female star is the woman with perfect skin, Gong Li (The Chinese Box, Shanghai Triad, and pretty much every other epic film to come out of China in the past decade).
		Zhao is the only character with real depth, and none of this is apparent until well into the movie.
		The Emperor and the Assassin is still better than many domestic films, but if you want to watch a large scale Chinese period piece, you may want to rent one of the earlier ones.

		Zhao certainly accepted the Confucian teachings (except on the education of women), but Nujie seems most of all to be very practical advice written for her daughters so that they could survive in their husbands' family homes.
		Zhao argues that if the family (and therefore the state) is to live according to the precepts taught in the classics, girls need to know then as well.

		Ever loyal, lady Zhao obeys her king and travels to Yan and earns the trust of an assassin, a formidable but somewhat pitiful figure, tortured by and in his own past, unable to find peace, pathetic in his love for the conniving Lady Zhou, whom he loves, unaware of her impending betrayal of him.
		Lady Zhao comes to realize this...and she comes to fall deeply in love with the assassin, a man who turns out to be made of far more honor than the King.
		Emperors and Assassins is unquestionably gorgeous and enigmatic, but it's useful to have heroes one can care about, all of whom are comfortably absconding from this flick.

	Film Review (Detroit Metro Times)
		Chen Kaige’s The Emperor and the Assassin is reminiscent of the type of biblical and historical epics which flourished in the West in the ‘50s and early ‘60s, where the characterizations are nearly pre-Freudian, the action takes place in a luxuriant vastness, and the plot moves easily between the intriguing and the ridiculous.
		The emperor of the title is China’s first, Ying Zheng, who, during the third century B.C., unified the country’s seven autonomous kingdoms in a single superstate.
		Lady Zhao’s task is to convince Jing Ke that Ying is worth coming out of retirement for, is deserving of that one last hit.
