Jingjing (Ursula) Yu is working on Professor Victoria Tin-bor Hui’s research about wars in ancient China. The goal of the research is to examine whether historical facts match the popular narratives of the magnificent, war-loving “Central Kingdom” presented by Chinese leaders. Yu’s primary task is to read through historical texts and collect war data, including the army sizes, causalities, marching routes of the wars, and coordinates of battle points, for the construction of an interactive GIS map demonstrating the routes of wars and changes of Chinese borders.
