Lan Na in Chinese historiography: Sino-Tai relations as reflected in the Yuan and Ming sources (13th-17th centuries)

摘要

The decline in national history writing over recent decades has been mirrored in some ways by the emergence of trans-regional historical studies. The book under review reflects both these phenomena, taking a modern sub-national polity - Lan Na - as its focus while reflecting how Chinese texts illumine both the past of this polity as well as the historical links between Lan Na and successive Chinese states.
