Cīna country (支那國) (Also called Zhēnnuó or Zhèndàn [Cīnāsthāna], and also Mahācīna; all are slight phonetic variations in Sanskrit. Formerly translated as the Han country, or said to be the Great Tang country; some translate it as the Great Xia country, and also called 'Country of Reflection', meaning that the people of this country possess great wisdom and strategy and are able to reflect deeply; these are all semantic translations).
