In "Avatar Day" the??man supposedly murdered by Avatar Kyoshi is named Chin, one of the independently ruled areas that went on to conquer many other of these independant areas. After they were all conquered, they became what is known as China. I should also mention that one of these counties (I don't know what they're called) was named Zhao, an obviously referenced name.

There are many "real" references and allusions in these episodes, which is what makes this such a great show to watch!
