Complete works database
Every Silk Road work we track, in one table
One dataset, identical rows in both languages. Titles keep their original name alongside a Traditional Chinese name, and accuracy grades describe research depth, not quality.

Inclusion rules
What gets a row here
- A work is listed when its setting, material culture, or trade routes are recognisably Silk Road — real, adapted, or clearly inspired.
- Accuracy grades describe research depth, not quality: A means grounded in documented history, B means real roots that are heavily reworked, C means inspiration rather than reconstruction.
- Fictional continents are allowed when their cultures are drawn from real Silk Road regions; the row says so plainly.
- Titles keep their original name with a Traditional Chinese name beside it, and every language version of this table shows the same rows.
- Rows without a field guide yet are listed as plain text until the guide is published.
