I was under the impression that literacy was much more common in the Asian cultures. The size of China alone contributed to a massive court of officials. I would think that written messages were fairly common between generals at least. There are many Martial Arts manuals dating back quite a long time and that is something you could go off of. A good person to get into contact with is a defected Shaolin monk named "Shi Yan Ming" he lives in New York, (Manhattan I think). He is a witer for a couple of martial arts magazines.
