chained_bear commented on the word Chang'an
Historical note can be found in comment on Sasanian. Also, following:
"Under the Tang dynasty, the capital remained at Chang'an except for brief intervals. ... Two markets, known as the Eastern and Western Markets, each occupied an area about 0.4 square miles (1 sq km). ... the Eastern Market tended to specialize in domestic goods, while the Western Market offered more foreign goods, many delivered by camel trains. Shops selling the same goods clustered together on narrow roads called <i>hang</i>. (Even today the Chinese word for expert is <i>neihang</i>, 'inside the row,' and for a layman <i>waihang</i>, 'outside the row.')."
