The English name of [Ancient_Names_Corpus（25W）.txt] may be more appropriate as 'Ancient / Old' or 'Ancient / PreModern' or 'Old', etc.

In English, 'Ancient' is usually ~ 0 BC or earlier, but definitely < AD 1500 or so.

I have found that some of the names are definitely not ancient in the English sense of the word, e.g. 阿畢魯勒索費英阿, from AD 1711, see http://biogref.org/mm.pl?method=search&person_name=%E9%98%BF%E7%95%A2%E9%AD%AF%E5%8B%92%E7%B4%A2%E8%B2%BB%E8%8B%B1%E9%98%BF

Best wishes.

Thank you very much.
A good suggestion.
I will add a description in readme.md
