Names
[edit]Möng Mao isTai NueaandShanlanguage name, also calledMöng Mao Lông(Tai Nuea:ᥛᥫᥒᥰ ᥛᥣᥝᥰ ᥘᥨᥒᥴ;Shan:မိူင်းမၢဝ်းလူင်), which means "Great Muang Mao". The "Möng"means country or place.[1]The "Mao" (ᥛᥣᥝᥰ) was evolved from "dizzy" (ᥛᥝᥰ), it is because the mother of legendary kingChaoU Ting felt dizzy when she was brought to the sky by a bird.[2]The name "Möng Mao" is still used nowadays, as the official Tai Nuea name ofRuili City(ᥝᥥᥒᥰ ᥛᥫᥒᥰ ᥛᥣᥝᥰ).
Kosambiwas anIndianancient country, Mong Mao usedKosambias his Buddhistic classical name.[3]"Kosambi" is also called "Guo-zhan-bi" (Tai Nuea:ᥐᥨᥝᥰ ᥓᥛᥱ ᥙᥤᥱ,Chinese:Quả chiếm bích) in Ruili, modernDai peoplegive a new explanation of "Guo-zhan-bi" which is "place that produce fragrant soft rice".[4]
In Chinese literature, Möng Mao was calledLuchuan(Chinese:Lộc xuyên), first recorded inYuanshias the name of the administrative division "LuchuanCircuit"(Chinese:Lộc xuyên lộ).[5]Some of literature also called Mong Mao asBaiyi(Chinese:Trăm di), but most of the time this is a collective name of all the ethnic groups in south west of Yunnan, or specifically refers to Dai people.[6]
In Burmese literature, Möng Mao was calledMaw[7]orMaw Shan.[8]In theManipurliterature, such asCheitharol Kumbabause the namePongrefer to Mong Mao.[9]
History
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/%E7%91%9E%E4%B8%BD%E5%8F%A3%E5%B2%B803.jpg/250px-%E7%91%9E%E4%B8%BD%E5%8F%A3%E5%B2%B803.jpg)
The chronicle of this region, titled theMöng Mao Chronicle,was written much later.[10]Some scholars identify Möng Mao with theKingdom of Pong,as well as with the kingdom of Luh Shwan mentioned in Chinese chronicles. Like most ofTai Yaihistory, the history of the Kingdom of Pong is largely legendary and existing chronicles and traditions include conflicting names and dates which have led to different interpretations.[11]
Möng Mao arose in the power vacuum left after theKingdom of Daliin Yunnan fell to the MongolYuan Dynastyaround 1254. The Yuan ruled the region indirectly in what was known as theNative Chieftain System.This kingdom had asserted some unity over the diversity of ethnic groups residing along the southwest frontier of Yunnan.[12]
After theMing conquest of Yunnanthe Möng Mao under Si Lunfa decided to submit to Ming authority. However, Möng Mao revolted in 1386 and led to theMing–Mong Mao War (1386–1388).In 1448, a combination ofMing,Sipsongpanna,and other allied forcessubjugated Möng Mao.
"Muang Mao" is sometimes used by authors to refer to the entire group of Tai states along the Chinese-Myanmar frontier includingLuchuan-Pingmian( lộc xuyên bình miến ),Muang Yang(Chinese:Mạnh dưỡng;pinyin:Mèngyǎng), andHsenwi(Chinese:Mộc bang;pinyin:Mùbāng), even though specific place names are almost always used inMingandBurmesesources.[13]
The center of power shifted frequently between these smaller states or chieftainships. Sometimes they were unified under one strong leader, sometimes they were not. As theShanscholar Sai Kam Möng observes: "Sometimes one of these [smaller states] strove to be the leading kingdom and sometimes all of them were unified into one single kingdom..." The capital of the kingdom shifted from place to place, but most of them were located near the Nam Mao river (the "Shweli"on most maps today)"[14]
The various versions of the Möng Mao Chronicle provide the lineage of Möng Mao rulers. TheShanchronicle tradition, recorded very early by Elias (1876), provides a long list with the first ruler of Möng Mao dating from 568 A.D.[15]The dates in Elias for later rulers of Möng Mao do not match very well the dates inMing dynastysources such asMing Shilu(Wade, 2005) andBaiyi Zhuan(Wade, 1996) which are considered more reliable from the time of the rulerSi Kefa.Bian-zhang-ga (1990), translated intoThaiby Witthayasakphan and Zhao Hongyun (2001), also provides a fairly detailed local chronicle of Möng Mao.
