One graph for both the history and the fiction of imperial China

The Records of the Grand Historian gives Jiang Ziya a single line: he served King Wu and was enfeoffed at Qi. The Ming novel Investiture of the Gods gives him a hundred chapters and a whip that commands gods. Guan Yu dies at Maicheng in the Records of the Three Kingdoms; the Romance of the Three Kingdoms hands him a duel with Hua Xiong that never happened. This site puts 4033 figures and 20274 relationships from 11 eras — Archaic Myth, Shang–Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Han Dynasties, Three Kingdoms, Sui–Tang, Journey West, Northern Song, Water Margin, Southern Song, Immortals & Anomalies — on one interactive graph. The 1059 figures recorded in both history and literature wear a golden ring. Every relationship is cited to its source chapter, while filters let you separate historical and literary records without adding visual clutter.
