Chinese Terms for Geographical Regions From Yijing, 635–718 CE

Fo-shih: Bhoga is mentioned in Tang history (618–906) as being on the south shore of the Strait of Malacca.

Ho-ling: Java.

Malayu: Seems to have existed for a long time. May also have been called Bhoga (the country). Lay on the southern shore of Malacca. Malayu covered the Southeast side of Sumatra, from the southern shores of Malacca to the city of Palembang.

Mo-lo-yu: Malayu, Shih-li-fo-shih, Srîbhoga.

San-bo-tsai: Land of the southern barbarians, between Cambodia, Chênla and Java, Shê-p’o. San-fo-Ch’i, in the History of Sung (960–1279) is probably Shih-li-fo-shih or Srîbhoga. Srîbhoga disappeared and was replaced with the term “Old Port” by the time of the last Chinese conquest in 1379 CE.

Sānfóqí: Was an important trading port where the people had embraced Buddhism but were of Hindu origin. The country was rich in gold. The inhabitants wore kan-man (sarongs). Sānfóqí was in Malayu Jambi and not in Palembang, thus references to Sānfóqí in the tenth and early eleventh centuries could relate to either Palembang or Jambi (Miksic and Goh 2017, p. 396).

Sarbaza: Used by Arab travellers in the ninth century; a corruption of Yavadvîpa.

Srîbhoga: Chin-chou, San-fo-Ch’i, and Golden Isle.

Yuán Shī: The historical works of the Yüan period; also known as Yuanshi. His written records contributed to our knowledge of Śrivijaya and the kingdoms that lay on the route between China and Nālandā (I-Tsing 1998: xli–xlvi).
