摩訶支那(訶音呵舊云振旦或云真那應云摩賀振郍此云大唐或云大漢舊云大夏皆隨代義翻也即今中華國是)。

Mochizhina 摩訶支那 (For the character 訶, the sound is hē 呵. Formerly rendered as Zhendan 振旦 or Zhina 真那; correctly it should be Mahācīna (mohèzhènnuó 摩賀振郍). Translated here as 'Great Tang' or 'Great Han'; formerly translated as 'Great Xia', all of which were semantic translations adapting to the dynasty; it refers precisely to the central realm of China today).
