cashew: Sumomo acting like Sumomo (Default)

I'll give you Han and squint sideways at Song, but once we get to Ming, it's definitely starting to feel "recent". I mean, we're literally closer to the start of Ming than the end of Han was to the start of Han, so....

I judge recentness based on how easy it is to read the writings, and Ming novels are barely distinguishable from modern colloquial Chinese. I finished Water Margins in a week back in 6th grade.
