What problem does it solve?

The CHGIS Temporal Gazetteer (TGAZ) API enables researchers to locate historical Chinese placenames and administrative units across 222 BCE to 1911 CE, enabling validation of names, hierarchies, and historical contexts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Placename search by name in Chinese or Romanized forms.
  • Year-specific searches to view placenames as they existed in a given era.
  • Feature-type and parent-hierarchy filtering to refine results.
  • Retrieve records for historical research and cross-referencing with dynastic histories.
