Were There Really Cham Muslims in Hainan and Guangzhou in the Late Tenth Century? A Re-Examination of Relevant Chinese Sources
Piaoyue, Piao, Pyu (?)
Shifting Places
The present essay challenges the identification of Zhubo and "Puluozhong," two Chinese terms contained in pre-modern Chinese texts, with the island of Borneo as proposed by O. W. Wolters. It argues that these identifications are based on biased and erroneous readings of the original source material. As a result, many subsequent writers of Southeast Asian history, especially those lacking the necessary linguistic expertise, have adopted Wolters' a…

Sanfoqi 三佛齊 as a Designation for “Srivijaya”
Textual evidence for the existence of Srivijaya (variously addressed as a state, kingdom, or empire in southeastern Sumatra) is very limited and rests on inscriptions as well as a manageable number of pre-modern Chinese texts. According to prevailing scholarly conventions, the term Shilifoshi 室利佛逝 (and variants) in early Tang dynasty texts was replaced in the Song dynasty by the term Sanfoqi 三佛齊. This connection allowed for an extension of Srivij…
On the Southern Tang Imperial Genealogy
The present essay deals with the fabrication of the imperial genealogy of the Southern Tang state (937-976). A means of linking the Southern Tang founder Li Bian (r. 937-943) to the Tang, it helped establish Southern Tang claims to the Tang heritage. Though no original fabricated genealogy survives, variant forms have been handed down through a number of texts starting in the early Northern Song period. These are discussed in terms of their plaus…

A Note on the Tombstone of Master Pu and the Xishan Zazhi
The present article is a preliminary report on the debate surrounding the tombstone of Master Pu discovered in Brunei in 1972. Dated to 1264 by Franke and Ch’en (1973), the tombstone of Master Pu has been regarded as evidence of early contacts between China and Brunei, but also as proof of the existence of Muslim connections between the two countries. Pu allegedly died in Brunei while on a diplomatic mission and was consequently buried there. Of …

Two Early Ming Texts on Borneo
The present article provides translations of two texts from the early Ming dynasty. The first text describes a diplomatic mission from the Ming court to a place in Boni, most likely Borneo, in 1370 that was based on the report of the envoy and compiled by Song Lian. The second text, a tomb inscription, is the earliest record of the voyage of a chieftain from Boni to the Ming court in 1408, and his death and burial there within a month after his a…
The rebellion of Zhang Yuxian 張遇賢 (942-943)
This paper is about a rebellion in southern China in the first half of the tenth century and its depiction in historical sources from the tenth to the seventeenth centuries. At the core of this study is Zhang Yuxian, the rebel leader, and his allegiance to a spirit. The latter suggested moving from Guangdong, the territory of the Southern Han empire (917-971), and the original area of the rebellion, to Jiangxi, the territory of the Southern Tang …
Pre-modern Chinese Sources in the National History of Brunei
The article deals with the appropriation of pre-modern Chinese sources by R. Nicholl and others for the national history of Brunei. It provides an analysis of the relevant sources and argues that Poli, a country described in the Chinese texts, was not a precursor of Brunei
China's Southern Tang Dynasty, 937-976
The Southern Tang was one of China’s minor dynasties and one of the great states in China in the tenth century. Although often regarded as one of several states preceding the much better known Song dynasty (960-1279), the Southern Tang dynasty was in fact the key state in this period, preserving cultural values and artefacts from the former great Tang dynasty (618-907) which were to form the basis of Song rule, and thereby presenting the Song wit…
