Cambodia

Original Name: 
Chinese Name: 
真臘
Notes: 

This name is used to translate the Chinese term for the Khmer polity Zhen-la. References to this polity extend only up to the beginning of the 16th century. However, in 1580 there appears a single reference to Jian-bu-zhai (柬埔寨), the modern Chinese name for Cambodia (Shen-zong shi-lu, juan 103). Wolters (1966) has made a study of the Chinese sources on Cambodia during this period. The MSL references can also be compared with those contained in Briggs (1951), Coedes (1966; 193-203), Hoshino (1986), Reid and Marr (1979; 401-03), Tibbetts (1979; 156-57), Vickery (1977 and 1979) and Wang Gungwu (1968 and 1970). For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Chen Xian-si et al. (1985), Chen, Xie and Lu (1986; 570, 639-40), and Lu and Zhou (1986).
