From Peking to Mandalay

Note 195 — Chapter X

Reading edition

Many of the villages between Tachienlu and Yung-ning have been given Chinese names by the Yunnanese, who occasionally send merchandise by this route. The Chinese name, as a rule, has no connection with the Tibetan or Man-tzŭ name. Wu Chia-tzŭ, for instance, means a "Village of Five Families"; San Chia-tzŭ a "Village of Three Families."
