Example Sentences
- "The Liang-shu mistakes Mo 末 for Chʻieh-mo 且末 during the Han (漢). But, adjoining Po-ssŭ in the west and Po-tʻi 白題 (Balkh) in the east, it should be identified with Marw. The statement of the Liang-shu that Mo adjoins Ting-ling 丁零 or Kao-chʻê 高車 in the north is based on the misunderstanding that Mo was located at Chʻieh-mo of what is now Cherchen in Chinese Turkestan."
- "These relations even became closer under the Liang of Nanking during the first half of the sixth century as a result of the expansion of the Tʻu-yü-hun toward the oases of Shanshan and Chʻieh-mo (the present-day Cherchen)."
- "The natives of Shan-shan were also skilled at making arms and in the states west of Ch'ieh-mo 'the arms made were like those of the Han'."
