|---|
This was the name used in the early 15th century to refer to Palembang. This appears to have been the successor polity to Srivijaya. A 1405 reference (Tai-zong shi-lu, juan 38.4b) notes that it was "ruled" by a Chinese person from Guang-dong. Following Zheng He's attack on the polity in 1406 or 1407, the Ming established Old Port as a "Pacification Superintendency". MSL references to the polity end in 1430.
