A Yun-nan polity ruled by a Tai elite. The Ming Shi notes that it was previously known as Zhe-dao (者島) and was part of Ma-long-ta-lang (q.v.) (Gong Yin 1985; 322). Tan Qi-xiang (1982; 78-79) depicts it as being located to the north of Zhen-yuan (q.v.) on the upper reaches of the Black River in Yun-nan. For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Fang Guo-yu (1987; 884, 887-88, 1072) and Gong Yin (1985; 322-23).
