No. The label groups many communities that share historical contact, trade or aesthetic exchange. Local identities remain primary. Cultures are not sports teams. This atlas explains practices and histories without superior/inferior scores. Major lingua francas and heritage languages appear together; minority tongues are named where they structure identity.

Through staples, techniques and social meals — not tourist clichés alone — with note of regional variation. As lived practice and festival calendars, without treating any faith as a racial essence. State borders and conflicts appear when they shaped culture; the page is not a news wire.

Fold the league table. Keep 1368, “Ming voyages,” and 1644 for China. Writing about people can cover language, movement, work, and ceremony. It does not award grades. Pick one of those for China in 1368 under “Ming voyages,” and use 1644 only as the size of that fact. Meeting neighbours is not evidence of superiority. “Many people” and “a better culture” are different sentences.1368
