China Primer

Well, since we're looking at this with a gamer's slant I'd recommend starting with the excellent WuXia HERO website. In particular, the "Resources" link will lead you to a number of websites with information on these topics.

 

For Chinese mythology, the appropriate section of the Encyclopedia Mythica would probably be useful.

 

That's all I can come up with at the moment. I hope it's helpful.

A really good travel guide can be helpful. Most of them have a section on culural differences, common phrases, standard of living, etc.

OTOH, if it were me, I'd just ignore a lot of his background. I'm not a WWII buff, for instance, but several of my players are. If they wanted to play a WWII-based character, I'd let them know up front that I would be using very little of their background. The potential for constant correction and display of ignorance is too great.
