The point though is that some of these documents went a very long way to find their burial in the south. Yeah, a sample size of 1 isn't very much to go on (maybe these documents were kept because they were prized possessions of 'foreign' lands?), but it does show in the very least a deep cultural contact between disparate kingdoms in the pre-China age.

If the said territories would indeed have been in a deep cultural tie they wouldn't had to be united by war. Look at the Romanian unifications: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Principalities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Principalities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Transylvania_with_Romania https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Transylvania_with_Rom...
