Ning-yuan Subprefecture

Original Name: 
Chinese Name: 
寧遠州
Notes: 

A polity noted as a "subprefecture" of Yun-nan. The MSL references range from 1405 until the late 15th century, but China's claims to the area only extend up until the 1430s. This is the generic name for the Sipsong Chau Tay (Twelve Tai zhao), centred on what is today Lai Chau Province in north-west Vietnam. For relevant literature, see Gaspardone (1939 and 1971) and Hoshino (1986).

For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Dao Yong-ming (1989; 311-16) and Fang Guo-yu (1987; 906, 916).
