Luzon

Original Name: 
Chinese Name: 
呂宋
Notes: 

Phonetically "Lu-song", this term was used by Ming China to refer to a polity on the island of Luzon in the modern Philippines. The MSL references to Luzon in the early 15th century are to a probably indigenous polity, while the 16th and 17th century references are obviously to the Spanish colonial administration. For other relevant literature, see Blair and Robertson (1903-09), Scott (1984 and 1989) and Zhang Wei-hua (1982; 57-84). For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Chen, Xie and Lu (1986; 343-44, 985). The various Chinese texts on Philippine polities are collected in Zhong-shan University, Southeast Asian Historical Research Institute (1980).
