Java (爪哇)
Phonetically "Zhao-wa", this name is universally accepted to represent the island of Java in the modern Indonesia. For Ma Huan's account of Java, see Mills (1970; 86-98). The MSL references can be compared with accounts contained in Aoyama (1998), Pigeaud and De Graaf (1976), Schrieke (1955) and Wang Gungwu (1968 and 1970) and the texts noted in Reid and Marr (1979; 403-05). For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Chen, Xie and Lu (1986: 203-04, 955-56).
