Tanling (Chinese: 曇陵) was an ancient political entity mentioned in the Chinese Tang Huiyao.[1] It was located on the Malay peninsular,[2]: 8 [3] potentially in the present-day Thailand and Myanmar.[3] Tanling was one of the vassal states of Dvaravati.[2]: 8
Tanling sent tribute to China in the 16th year of the Zhenguan era (644).[1]
Location
[edit | edit source]As mentioned in the Tang Huiyao volume 99, Tanling was located on the island in the Malay peninsular.[3] Scholars suggest that it was properly in the present Trang province of Thailand or Tenasserim region in Myanmar or some island in the swamp area of the early historic Bay of Bangkok. Some believes it was the Tan-ma-ling Tambralinga.[3]
