Wan Dian Chief's Office

Original Name: 
Chinese Name: 
灣甸長官司
Notes: 

A Yun-nan polity ruled by a Tai elite. Tan Qi-xiang (1982; 78) depicts it as lying north of Zhen-kang, centred on what is still today called Wan Dian. It is possibly equivalent to the Mong Kyeng of the Shan (Scott and Hardiman 1900; Part II, Vol. 2, 382).

For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Dao Yong-ming (1989; 261-64, 945), Fang Guo-yu (1987; 852, 873-74, 1070) and Gong Yin (1985; 220-22 and 1992; 640-41).
