imported>Sol Pacificus: Description section is ideal, but an intro needs to have more info than just "it was an execution method in ancient China", and then there isn't enough info to warrant a Description section w/o redundancy. I'm starting to backtrack on not just using the Mandarin for "chariot-splitting".
