Shans at home . end of the fourth century B.C. it had carried itssway over the border States near the sea in the east, the Ngu (IVu) and Yueh; to the Nan-ling mountainsin the south; over the larger part of Ho-nan on thenorth, and gradually extended westwards. The latterextension covered the east of Ssu-chuan, and thewhole of Kuei-chou provinces; it reached also thecentre of Yiin-nan, and perhaps more south, underthe name of Tien or Tsen Kingdom, which was severedfrom its suzerain country (and remained under Shanrule) when the Tsin of Shensi, then growing into theEmpire, crossed the Yang-tze in 279 b.c. The name of Tien or Tsen—the only State whichwas maintained as a continuation of that of Tsu, whenthe latter was destroyed by its rival claimant, the Em-pire, the Tsin in 224 b.c.—has perhaps survived in thatof the Shan State of Hsen-wi, the Tsen-pho of the Sia-mese. The writer of the Chronicle of the Hsen-hseKingdom—not the present small Hsen-wi State— The Languages of China before the Chinese.. 300 400 50O eoo riiE SHAN STATES. KINGDOM OF TSU 5 recognised this fact. It is not by accident that whatEnglish writers call the Mao Kingdom of the Northern Shans, was named Hsen-hse, for it wassimply the extension in the west of this Tien or TsenState, itself a continuation of the Tsu, if de Lacou-perie is right in his conjecture.

Later still—a.d. 566—a Chinese Emperor of theNorthern Chao dynasty protected the passages of theYang-tze west of I-chang, with ramparts to preventthe raids of barbarians, who were apparently Shans, the regnant race throughout that region. The Kingof Siang-yang was, at least nominally, under theEmperor, but the con
