Abstract
Geographically south of China and surrounded by oceans, Southeast Asia was referred to as “Nanyang” or “South Sea” in ancient times. Contacts between China and Southeast Asia can be traced back to around year zero. The “Treatise on Geography” volume of the Book of Han [汉书], an important document for tracing the histories of Sino-foreign relations and Southeast Asia, recorded a maritime transportation route. Some of the place names along the route have yet to be confirmed, despite Chinese and foreign scholars’ decades-long research. However, most scholars believe that several places under research are situated in the ancient Nanyang region, or today’s Southeast Asia.
