With all due respect, Djunknown, you are dead wrong. Take my word for it. I'm Chinese. I live here state-side(California) but had the "privilege" of being crammed on Chinese History in the home-country before... *_* And in case you wonder no I do not speaky chinee anymore (mods please don't ban me...)
In any case, 19th century is about right. CTHD takes place in the Ching(Qin, among other spellings) Dynasty aka the last Dynatsy. Notice the long braid-hair worn by the men in the movie? It is the distinct mark of the era, no other Dynasties had such custom.
As for Han... that one was thousands of years (Han D. circa 3rd Century B.C.--not sure if that implies the 200s or 400s B.C.) before the Ching (19th Century).
The Ching-Ming Jian(Green Destiny Sword) in the movie is said to have been forged in Han Dy. and ended up in the possesion of Li Mu Bai circa the Ching Dy. (I'm not read up on the original MA novel, in fact, don't know where to look anymore...)
