Mu-bang Pacification Superintendency (木邦宣慰使司)
The MSL depicts Mu-bang as a “pacification Superintendency” of Yun-nan. It is the Tai polity known in Southeast Asian sources as Hsenwi, Hsienwi or Theinni, centred on the modern Hsenwi in northern Burma/Myanmar. According to the Du-shi Fang-yu Ji-yao, its territory extended east to Lanna, and south to the territory of the "Su-la man" (速剌蠻), west to Ava-Burma, and north to Mang-shi. For Tai accounts, see "Theinni" in Elias (1876; 61-64) and Scott and Hardiman (1900; 181-203). For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Dao Yong-ming (1989; 317-37), Fang Guo-yu (1987; 994-95) and Gong Yin (1985; 199-200 and 1992; 618-20).
